re: Stranger Things Season 4 official discussion thread. (Spoilers)

Leftover from the fight with Hopper and Russian prisoners vs the demogorgan before it escapes. Prison guard gives them the key to the weapons locker before the fight

Apologies if this was mentioned but I’ve avoided the thread to avoid spoilers.

I finished the season and have a question about the painting Will did. At the beginning of the season Eleven specifically states that she doesn’t know what the painting is and thinks he is painting it for someone.

At the end of the season, Will gives it to Mike and says Eleven commissioned it.

Was he just sacrificing his gift to convince Will that he needs to be there for Eleven and that he is the “heart?” That’s the only thing that makes sense but the Duffer Brothers already made mistakes this season (with Will’s bday being the date on the video camera recording) so wasn’t sure.

I liked season 4 a lot more than season 3. Just finished the finale and that was one wild arse ride

After watching season 4, I think they could've skipped season 3 from a plot standpoint. Season 3 didn't really advance the story now that we know the origin story of 001 and the Upside Down. Instead we could've gone S1 = intro to the Upside Down, S2 = intro to the Mind Flayer and hinting of a more coordinated enemy, S4 = explanation of how the Upside Down was created and the ultimate goal of the main antagonist.

I don't think Season 4 was perfect, but I'm feeling better that the writers will wrap up the story line in a satisfying way rather than letting it devolve as we've seen with other shows (Game of Thrones, Westworld, The Walking Dead, etc.).

I would like them to explain Hopper's miraculous, Wolverine-like healing of his foot though...

2024!? Why does it take Netflix so long to shoot and release shows? I appreciate that the pandemic contributed to the long delay between S3 and S4, but what's the excuse now?

That looks like a fan account, not official.

But they haven’t started filming S5 yet, so 18 months is pretty reasonable timeframe considering the amount of CGI its probably going to have. S2 came out in Oct 2017 and S3 didnt come out until July 2019, almost 2 years.

I’m sure it’s something obvious that I just simply missed, but where did the Conan sword Hop picked up come from?

---

The weapon closet from the initial prisoner fight with the demagorgan. From there the situation completely devolved to the moment Hopper picks it up.

He is my hero

Spoilers) I understood it as being a sort of life force that was intertwined with the demagorgons that were more or less benevolent creatures just existing as a hive mind in this dimension.

Yea you see one milling around in the back as he wanders through. Also 11 “saving” max is definitely a vessel for vecna or whatever to move on to the next season

Murray slaying the demos with the flame thrower was a GOAT moment

fricking Vecna

The Thanos of Netflix



Favorite moment of the entire series is Dustin head banging with a smile on his face while Eddie shreds, meanwhile hundreds of Demobats are on the way. He loved the shred so much he could’ve cared less about death.

Also loved the Halloween shoutout, shoot Vecna off the top deck then go down and he’s gone, classic Michael Myers.

Last season finna be lit. The board is set, the pieces are moving

Only if MBB flames out in coke ala Lindsay Lohan.
