my thoughts on stranger things 5
im putting it out there. in the world. dumping my theories and thoughts in a single post.
we all know Vecna’s gonna be back. but what’s he gonna do?
i think he’s going to try and possess Will again. i once saw on pinterest (screenshotted from tumblr) a post where someone was pointing out that it appeared Noah was wearing brown contacts in a bts photo. (it could just be lighting, but you never know.)
i reckon Will’s gonna fight it, and cause Vecna to come to the real world and, like, try to possess him NOT from the upside down.
ive also heard theories of Will having powers. that maybe Vecna put a little power-preventing chip in him and thats why Will always touches his neck when he feels the upside down - the chip in his neck is being triggered.
personally, im unsure whether Will will have powers. maybe. unlikely, but it could still happen, and personally i dont object to the idea.
but like. i dont have many thoughts on plot itself. HOWEVER, i do have plenty of ideas on what will happen to the characters themselves in the end. heres what i think:
El
i love her, but i think she might die. im sorry.
i reckon she’ll have some big sacrifice scene, but for real this time.
i think somewhere in vol 1 or 2 she’ll have a break up scene with Mike. im thinking episode 4 or 5. she’ll be upset, but understand.
i think she’ll bond heavily, more than she already did, with Joyce and Hopper this season.
she’ll probably try to revive Max again, but likely fail.
Will
i doubt he’ll die. what’s the point in having a character suffer for a solid five seasons, make him fight and try so hard, just to fucking die??
i think he might try and distance himself from Mike. not physically, but like. emotionally? trying to compress his feelings, you know.
also i think he’ll get a lot more confident in himself somewhere in vol2. my guess is that the rockie scene he stumbled upon is episode 5 or 6 (but it could be as early as 3), and after seeing that, he will feel a lot better about himself.
basically, he’s gonna kiss Mike. im guessing episode 7. i have no byler doubt at this point in time.
also, WILL AND ROBIN TEAM UP! he’s so gonna get clocked by her. she will KNOW. they’re gonna bond so well, i can feel it
Mike
my boy is NOT dying. i dont even know what plot point that would serve. i dont care how much of the ga wants him dead, it is. not. happening.
he is gonna be SO PROTECTIVE. especially of the party, and especially of Will. this bitch gets a SHOVEL (and not a candlestick)!!!
he’s gonna get over his internalised homophobia, and initiate the byler kiss. yeah, im still not shutting up about byler.
i would love to see him almost die and then get saved by Nancy. their relationship as siblings needs more attention!
speaking of which, i NEED a bonding scene of Mike, Nancy, and Holly!!! Wheeler siblings >>>
Dustin
angst, trauma, depression, holy fuck its gonna get bad. but he wont die.
he’s gonna get beat up at some point i can feel it-
i dont have many theories for him, though. somehow.
but i love him and he’s gonna live.
maybe kickstart hellfire club again in honour of Eddie?
he’ so gonna discover byler though. purely by accident. he’s smart enough to connect the dots, but he will NOT connect them, just discover them on accident.
Lucas
oh he’s in danger i feel it
he’s gonna be SO protective over Max, and itll nearly get him killed, but in the end he will LIVE
again, not many theories for him. i bet you he’s gonna CLOCK Mike though. he KNOWS.
Max
i think she’ll stay in her coma :(
but she is NOT DYING
if she does miraculously wake up she’ll be blind, likely in a wheelchair. maybe paralysed though i think thats unlikely.
Steve
i have two words
a) living
b) chainsaw
Nancy
my girl is gonna LIVE i will ragequit if she doesnt
she’s gonna be such a baddie again, i just know.
ALL the weapons. super protective over Mike and Holly.
also that scene where she’s washing blood of her hands??? my guess is that she brought someone somewhere, they die/almost die, and she blames herself. i dont know who itll be, though.
jancy will probably stay. might go to stancy though. i hope not.
Jonathan
yeah no ive got no clue
he’ll likely live but thats all i think of him
Robin
MY GIRL IS LIVING
she’s gonna clock Will, clock Mike, gaydar master right here, professional wingman, lesbian queen, rockie is so canon
(thats all i have. sorry)
Joyce
she will live but if not i will THROW HANDS
and she is SO gonna have a heart to heart with Mike about Will.
jopper will stay, if it doesnt im crashing out
Hopper
living. why would they kill him again?
he is gonna bond so much more with El, he’s gonna be an awesome dad!
he’s gonna be so glad when there’s finally a mileven break up. at first he’s gonna be pissed at byler but not in a homophobic way, just in a mikephobic way. “STOP DATING MY KIDS WHEELER”
Murray
might live, might die, all i have to say is that he’ll CLOCK byler. no Byers family member is safe from him
Erica
if she dies, i am SERIOUSLY throwing hands. she WILL live.
gonna be a bit less of a bitch to Lucas, but still Super Sassy.
but like? Erica and Dustin friendship?? we need more of them interacting
(but like PLEASE can we have an Erica + Nancy friendship? idk why but that just vibes with me)
Holly
they wont kill her. that would be plain evil if they do.
i know theres an episode named ‘the vanishing of Holly Wheeler’, but itll be a Will situation, she’s gonna survive.
we’re gonna get SO many scenes of her being protected by Mike and Nancy!!!
i have an inkling she’ll get roped into DnD though
every other character, i dont have any theories on them, or enough to warrant putting them on the list.
anyways. thats all i can think of right now. i might add on to this sometime. but after vol 1 is released (11am for me, smack bang in the middle of the school day, rip) i am going to avoid tumblr and pinterest like the PLAGUE until ive finished watching (which may take a few days, i have to wait and watch it with my family, ugh “one episode at a time!!1!1! save them!!1!1!!!1”)
IM NOT READY FOR THIS </3
