Stranger Things 4 finale: Fan theories and much more

Further in Stranger Things 4, Volume 2, we’ll look at the story, cliffhanger, and what to presume from Hawkins’ main role, steered by Eleven, as they scheme to take down Vecna and destroy the Upside Down. And this show is releasing on 1st July.

The Netflix show Stranger Things 4, Volume 2 is about to get more thrilling, bloody, and action-packed. Fans have little hope for the final two episodes of the supernatural show, which gears up for its season finale on Friday. 

The Stranger Things show is set in the fictitious town of Hawkins. 

Hawkins town has a laboratory operated by the Department of Energy, the United States that secretly conducts supernatural and paranormal experiments on human trial subjects. 

The Lab of Hawkins builds a portal to an optional dimension – the Upside Down, but everything goes wrong and demons like the Mind Flayer and Demogorgons begin to affect Hawkins’ town life.

A group of stupid schoolchildren discovers the being of Upside Down. That’s when a psychokinetic girl named Eleven runs away from the lab and involves the group to find a missing friend who is stuck in the Upside Down.

So far in the story

In Stranger Things Season 4, the kids, who are now teenagers, are trying to come to life without each other. 

They had to disperse after the incidents of Season 3, which finished with their fight with the Mind Flayer at Starcourt Mall. 

Eleven loses her powers while unleashing the Mind Flayer and moves to California with Joyce, Byers, Jonathan, and Will. Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Max are still at Hawkins. 

Mike visits Eleven over the holidays, only to realize that he has been the victim of school bullying during this time. Max, on the other hand, is battling depression following the death of his half-brother Billy at the end of the third season. 

She also becomes the target of the curse of the new supervillain Vecna. She enters Mind Lair, a fictional place in Vecna’s mind, and is rescued by her friends playing her favorite song.

More about the show story

Supporting actors like Robin, Steven and Nancy are also moving on like normal teenagers. It is revealed that Jim Hooper, who was expected to be killed in season three, is alive and imprisoned in a Russian prison.

Murray and Joyce leave for California to liberate Hopper from Kamchatka in Russia, and Eleven is taken in by her father, Doctor Brenner, to help her retrieve her lost powers. 

He is in an undisclosed location called Project Nina, where he is made to revisit the horrors of his childhood. As she digs deeper into her memories that fade over time, she learns of a more human theme—one who helped her escape. 

But Eleven ultimately learns that it is Henry Creel, who murdered his family member as a child. 

He was overpowered by Eleven, and the power of the two of them colliding led to the opening of a new portal and the construction of the Upside Down. Thus, there is Vecna, the ruler of the optional dimension.

Expectations

Hopefully, Vecna will wreak havoc on Hawkins to teach Eleven a lesson. In the teaser for the last two chapters of Stranger Things 4, we see Eleven hell-bent on challenging Vecna even as her papa tells her she’s not ready yet. 

Meanwhile, Jonathan, Argyle, Mike, and Will characters are on their way to Nevada city to kick Eleven out of the Nina Project. Joyce and Hopper are reunited in Russia with Murray and fellow prisoner, Enzo. 

Going forward, the team will have to face the rest of the prison inmates and the captive Demogorgon. Only then can he think of joining the Eleven against Vecna.

After Steve slips into the lair of his mind, forcing his friends Robing, Nancy, and Eddie to rescue him and return to the main side, the group is joined by Max, Priah, Dustin, and Lucas who help save them. 

It is expected that Steve and Nancy will voluntarily enter the Mind Layer to lay a trap, as Max, who is still recovering from Vecna’s curse, goes with Lucas and Priya to find some loose ends at the creel House, and will come out.

Theories of fans

The three factions are preparing to strike Vecna. And, fan theories suggest that there will be some heartbreaks and death. 

Certain fans assert that Steven appeared as the hero figure for Dustin and others, and will die, abandoning the group to seek revenge. 

There is also speculation that Eddie, not Steve, will be killed, given that he has frequent escapes, even during Dungeons & Dragons games. Many fans also want to see Will come out completely. 

Alluding to the feelings he has for Mike, Will draws a painting for him. The truth is out there, and we only desire that the Duffer Brothers do it this time.
