Honestly I haven’t really been paying attention to the whole episode 9 / “Conformity Gate” discourse, but— if they were in the Upside Down and episode 8 was Vecna’s vision… wouldn’t it have made way more sense for Vecna to actually win?
Like. Full devastation. No hope. Everyone panicking.
And then a secret episode reveal that it was all a vision— full The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 style, where we all think the fight is real and then—psych—never happened.
Just saying. That would’ve ruined me in the best way.
#Not saying I wanted them all dead but narratively?#A Vecna-wins-then-psych-it-was-a-vision reveal would’ve been way bolder and honestly way more in character for him.#just thinking out loud#strangerthings#strangerthings5#sttheory#vecna#UpsideDown#episode9#conformitygate#dufferbrothers#netflix#steve harrington
