I have no idea if thereās actually gonna be another episode or if theyāre just leaving it up to interpretation, but Iām gonna fan the conformity gate flames anyway. Iāve seen a lot of the inconsistencies and Easter eggs already mentioned but I will add some of the things that I noticed for anyone whoās interested to do with as you please:
1. During Hopās hallucination when El is in the tank, Vecna says that he has āseen into her mind and so I can see into yoursā or something along those lines, implying that he can jump between minds using his victimās connection to others in their life. He used El to get to Hop, so I donāt think itās that far fetched to assume he could have jumped from Will to Mike (or any of the other Party members).
2. That lab coat guy in the cave in Henryās memory saying āit consumes allā and the Jonathonās movie in the epilogue being called The Consumer
3. Now I donāt know anything about DnD apart from a very basic understanding of how the game works, but when Dustin was cornered by Andy and his goons in the cemetery, didnāt Dustin mention something āvioletā causes blindness? Well I think itās a weird coincidence that the song playing during Elās āgoodbyeā was Purple Rain. Is that alluding to the fact that her goodbye also causes blindness (as in not knowing they are in a different reality, or the whole thing being an illusion)?
4. Nancy specifically not wanting to end up like her mom, in a loveless marriage with kids, but then her and Karen having the exact same haircut in the epilogue.
5. That whole scene in Henryās memory when they jump from the high school auditorium to the Creel house, when the play advertised is Oklahoma. Iāve never seen Oklahoma and have no idea what itās about but Iām gonna take a wild guess and say that people in black robes and freaky masks playing ominous drum beats is not a part of that.
6. Also, the play Henry was in was produced by Joyce, and starred Karen, Ted, and Hopper, and itās just a coincidence that a) none of them remember Henry, and b) Vecna specifically targets their children?
7. In addition to the endings Mike gives the Party at the end of their campaign, Steve, Robin, Nancy, and Jonathon all being how Mike specifically views them in the epilogue. Steve is a womanizer who never leaves his home town (even though he specifically mentioned wanting to settle down with one person), Nancy dropped out of school to become a reporter straight away (even though sheās been talking about Emerson for like 2+ seasons), Jonathon is an edgy alt film maker in New York (even though in season 4 he didnāt want to move too far away from his family), and Robin is dressed in the most feminine clothes I have ever seen her wear and never mentions Vickie (even though her quirky style and her crush on Vickie has been a huge part of her character for the last 2 seasons). Iām not saying thatās why they all got that ending in the epilogue but Iām not not saying itā¦.
8. Throughout the entire season the camera shots in first person are used to show that weāre seeing through someoneās eyes because Vecna is using them as a spy (like how Will sees through Hollyās eyes, and then Derekās), and then when Mike says heāll stay behind to keep an eye on Will when Willās unconscious, itās shown through a first-person camera shot.
Again, Iām not holding my breath but another episode coming out would make a lot more sense than what we got.
about point 5 - youāre correct. the play is NOT oklahoma, instead it is a play called āthe dark of the moonā (itās all explained in the first shadow) and ik some of the theories are based on lines from the play within a play
Thank you, I hadnāt heard of that before and so I looked it up.
It makes absolutely no sense to me why the understanding of major plot points this season is based on a stage play that isnāt filmed and 95+% of fans will never be able to watch in full, but given the summaries Iāve seen I just have even more questions. So ALL of their parents were in that play with Henry, including Eddieās dad, and itās just a coincidence that he later targets all of their kids?
Also, another thought I had: if Brennerās dad traveled to Dimension X from the Rightside Up, and later Brenner creates a wormhole, why is the exotic matter only in the Upside Down? If the experiments started in the Rightside Up wouldnāt that be where the melted stuff is? *vine voice* I am confusion
