Major spoilers ahead forStranger Thingsseason four.
The task seems … difficult.
Will Eleven stop Vecna once and for all?
The series is certainly setting up a major final showdown between the two.
Can someone kindly just cut Wills hair?
That one is mission critical, people.
But there are some critical secondary storylines that need to be addressed, too.
What will happen to Max?
Out of everyone in our mainStranger Thingscrew,Max arguably had the worst go of itin season four.
(I say main crew because, go swiftly into the night my sweetEddie Munson!
And I say arguably because Hoppers eight months in a Soviet prison did not seem … All in all, not the best spring break for our zoomer.
Surely, what she experienced will change her, definitely emotionally and possibly physically and/or psychically.
Think about how Will changed after his time in the Upside Down in season one.
Maxs interactions with Vecna have been even more intense.
Will Vecna have some kind of psychic connection with her?
Whatever happens, theres no way Max will ever be the same.
Why is the Upside Down stuck in time on the day Will went missing?
With his powers, Vecna molded it and its monsters any way he wanted.
(Ergo the Mind Flayer taking the form of a giant spider-like creature.)
What does all this new intel mean?
Did Vecna shape the Upside Down into his own personal Hawkins hellscape?
What does Wills connection to the Upside Down mean for his future?
In short: Im worried about Will Byers.
So, will it prove to be more useful than simply an alarm system?
yo let the answer be yes.
like give Will Byers a worthy conclusion to his arc!
The kid has been through so much!
Remember when he was barfing up demogorgon slugs for a while?
Thats a tough card to be dealt right there.
Will Steve and Nancy just get back together already??
Listen, LISTEN, Jonathan Byers is great … er, okay, Jonathan Byers is fine.
That moved me to tears.
But that does not mean Jonathan is right for our girl Nancy Wheeler.
That spells disaster in the long run.
They need to get back together before one of them dies.
Do it for Eddie, guys!
Do it for all of us!
Are the Soviets plans still in play?
But is that really it for the Soviets?
Is Doctor Owens okay?
Will Sullivan use Owens to get to Eleven?
Will Owens be able to convince Sullivan that Eleven is the solution and not the problem?
(That huge tear between dimensions in Hawkins might help with that.
Or hurt … its hard to tell.)
Or is there simply not enough time to care about any of this?
