“Stranger Things” is arguably the biggest show in Netflix history. The creators, The Duffer Brothers, did everything right when making the show. When we’re talking about the plot, the characters, or anything else in the series we are talking about peak TV.
Almost everybody is looking forward to the new season. Fans are excited to see what happens, but sad because the story ends. With all the new trailers and teasers out for the world to see, these are my predictions for the fifth and final season.
We have seen in the trailers that this season is going to be a lot more action packed than any of the others. We also see a lot of military people and it’s fair to believe they are not on the main characters’ side. I believe a lot of the show will be the main characters fighting against the Upside Down monsters and the military at the same time.
Throughout the story, I think we will get flashbacks to 1983, when Will went missing. The Duffers will slowly reveal the backstory to the Upside Down and why Vecna started killing all those years ago. This will give all watchers clarity on what they have been wondering for over three years now.
Now onto the sensitive topic of the season: deaths. Nobody is fully safe from dying. Furthermore, Steve, Will, Eleven, Lucas, and Jonathan have the highest chance of not making it.
Everyone hopes Steve doesn’t die, but if he did, he would die protecting the others. Will and Eleven would sacrifice themselves for the group and Lucas would die protecting Max. Jonathan would die protecting either Nancy or Will.
The ending of the show will most likely be one of the most impactful endings in TV history. I personally believe that it will end with Eleven sacrificing herself for everybody else.
One theory is that El will have to turn the Upside Down into a good place. She will get stuck there and have to keep gates from opening while changing the Upside Down into a good alternate dimension instead of the evil place it is.
A second theory, which isn’t my favorite, is that Vecna wins in the end. All of the crew either dies or is turned into one of Vecna’s flayed. The Upside Down could slowly take over the real world. This ending would get a lot of backlash, so it’s unlikely to happen.
With the countless theories and predictions about the biggest season of this show, nobody truly knows how it will go. No matter what happens, I’m sure it will be a great watch everyone will enjoy.
