Boy this is long.
THE DUFFERS BASICALLY RIPPED OF THE ENTIRE PLOT OF THIS COMIC WTF????
There is this guy on ST documentary that has this shirt on.
In the beginning I thought it was Will and it would be another proof of #conformitygate.
But then someone told me it’s from this show in 2016 called “outcasts” based on a comic hat came out in 2014. Anyway, I was curious about the plot as it’s literally called” Outcasts.
And the catchphrase is “Possession is just the beginning”
Like bro.
This show isn’t even that relevant anymore, it was cancelled in 2018.
Anyway, I read the plot and that shit is just further proof of conformitygate. Wtf.
It’s about a guy (Kyle) who gets has been dealing with possessions his entire life, but it has targeted the people he loves. Kinda sounds like Vecna doesn’t it?
His mother, then his wife and daughter get targeted.
The town where he lives views him as an outcast even though he wanted to protect his family.
He teams up with this alcoholic and gambling addict preacher (yes, preacher) who believes he’s a soldier in a war against evil.
Now, bare with me.
Kyle discovers that he has a gift (kinda reminds me of Will?) and his touch or blood can hurt and expel demons. HELLO??
Like, we were talking about blood inST5, that El was the most similar to Henry. In my opinion, it was Will, since he was paralleled to him like a thousand times but ok.
Then, the preacher and Kyle realize that the huntings aren’t random (kinda like Will does with the kids) and the demons want to merge their world with theirs (UM??? that’s literally the plot of ST5??)
They don't just want to possess him; they want to be him because he is a "pure" vessel.
This is how the possession looks like in the show btw. Looks similar?
Yeah, that checks out…
Again, the literal poster of the show shows vines like black smoke. Like, that’s kinda the Mind Flayer and Vecna combined if you think about it?
Sidney, the antagonist is a mysterious man in a black hat, well dressed, arrives in town. (Why did they stress about Mr. Whatsit being well dressed in a hat again?)
He is the leader of the possessed. Unlike other demons, he is calm, intelligent, and seems to be "settled" perfectly into his human host. (Okay, so like the Mind Flayer possessed Vecna, got it.)
OH FUCK OFF
IT’S THE SAME POSE. BRO
The entities come from another dimension, a dark, cold place. (HE LIKES IT COLD???) They want to cross over and inhabit every human on Earth. This is called the "Great Merge."
THE GREAT MERGE are you-
Mike and Will are the only ones who use the word “merge” btw. Thought I’d mention it.
The daughter of Kyle also has this power btw. And this is how the comic ends.
The biggest twist involves how to stop the invasion permanently. It is revealed that to close the portal between the two dimensions forever, an "Outcast" must sacrifice themselves. (Like Jane???)
Kyle decides to give himself up to act as a sort of "spiritual plug," trapping the entities back in their dark dimension for good. (Damn.)
But I got more.
In the comics as the story continues, Kyle and Amber (the daughter) discover they aren't the only ones with powers. They find a whole encampment of people with similar powers. (THATS EL’S PLOT OF SEASON 4???)
Kyle opened the portal to let the monsters in the first time. (again, Jane is that u?)
And it came out literally a month and 12 days before Stranger Things 1. The comic first came out in 2014. The comic ended in April of 2021. ST4 was written in June 2020. Outcast comic where Kyle finds other people like him came out late 2019….
So either the Duffers have never had an original thought in their lives, or it means something.
There is NO WAY this person wore this just because. I don’t wear merch unless I want people to see that I’m wearing merch.
SNL is launching SOMETHING, I just don’t know what.
