Stranger Things Theory Predicts Extremely Sad Series Finale — And Unfortunately, It Makes Sense

Just one more season and Stranger Things will be over. Netflix’s sci-fi horror will end after 5 seasons and about 8 years. There is no date for the final episodes yet. But of course fans are already racking their brains about how the team around the Duffer brothers will conclude the Upside Down saga.

In Stranger Things Season 5, Eleven has to replace Vecna in the Upside Down

The most important question: Can there even be a happy ending for Eleven and Co.? Since season 1, the group has fallen from one misfortune to the next. Worse still, the telekinetically gifted heroine (Millie Bobby Brown) indirectly challenged the raids by the Mind Flayer and most recently Vecna. In the last episode so far, the underworld of the Upside Down even seems to be conquering the upper world.

From this, a fan at Reddit derives the following heartbreaking theory for the upcoming finale ab: The world can only rid itself of the destructive influence of the Upside Down if Eleven no longer exists in the world. She has to sacrifice herself. A life with Mike (Finn Wolfhard) would be out of the question. The theory in a nutshell: “Eleven should take Vecna’s place as the new ruler of the Upside Down and turn the Upside Down into paradise.”

The detailed theory follow these rough steps:

Eleven has opened the gate to the Upside Down. And no matter how many times she closes it again, the hole keeps ripping open. The Mind Flayer returned, as did Vecna

Eleven must break this cycle by taking control of the upside down like Vecna. She can then turn it into a peaceful world

So instead of fighting the symptoms over and over again, she cleans up the root of all evil

And the theory thinks even further: Eleven isn’t the only human born with extraordinary powers. She won’t be the last person to open the Upside Down

However, as ruler of the Upside Down, she would prevent the emergence of new Vecnas by mentoring and guiding children like Henry Creel (later Vecna) to good

How plausible is the Stranger Things theory for the finale?

Well, the theory is better thought out than some Stranger Things storylines. The first part in particular is convincing. Eleven tries hard to settle into the overworld. But there is always something inevitable inherent in their existence: She attracts misfortune as she is the most powerful being outside of the Upside Down. It is at the same time protection against the Upside Down as well as its correction of existence.

If Eleven were to close the gate to the Upside Down again in the Stranger Things finale, we would have to assume that it would open again at some point. Her retreat to the underworld, on the other hand, would be a final solution. The second part of the theory is even more ambitious and perhaps already thought too far, but no less meaningful.

The downside of the whole thing: Tears in the final would be guaranteed. Because the theory tears the lovers Eleven and Mike apart and thus the heart of the series.
