What's scary about this is they've been trying to cover up the deaths and the mysteries surrounding Hawkins. Now, everyone can't deny that everything that has happened ever since 1979, this is the cause of everything. All the deaths, people that have gone missing, they finally got the answer to what caused Hawkins to be dangerous
You’re right! That darn Hellfire cult opened a portal to Hell in the middle of the peaceful town! We should’ve realized it this whole time! Curse you DnD for hypnotizing our children into satanists!
Ikrrr like horrified me to the core when it was bleh nth horrendous at all- like imagine the level of direction and cinematography with the soundtrack everything on fleek!!
No what horrifies me is the fact that now NOBODY can deny the fact that the upside down exists. The whole town realizing it’s not snow but a portal to a demonic dimension is chilling.
@@IMidNightlwell since vecna is essentially the head of the snake, once he's down, it may be all over. But yea, el's limits will definitely be pushed like never before in any of the finale scenes
This has to be one of the best penultimate endings ever. The way the mood was set. The way they conveyed strongly to the audience that this was indeed the beginning of the end, with the normal Hawkins beginning to look like its Upside Down counterpart, with each of the main characters looking into the distance as they see their world ending before their eyes, with the threat of Vecna being more apparent than ever before, and all this... accompanied with the epic orchestral cover of the main theme kicking in to accentuate the grandiose prospect of the coming war. Like a battle of galactic proportions is taking place within this small town, where nothing... until that point... really ever happened... Beautiful.
My only question is will we see vecna in a new body? Cuz his current one was destroyed and we know the dark particles of the shadow monster escaped russia so will he use that as his body? The smoke from s2 and why weren't there monsters rising from the upside down? Where is the gaping monster nancy talked about in one of the episodes prior?
They're very lucky to have found her. We can say that for all the child actors on this show who are growing up and still remain wonderful actors, but Millie is the one that carries the show as Eleven and they found a gold mine of raw talent in her. She's extraordinary.
The silence from the characters, the music, everything about this is amazing. The way Hopper takes Joyce's hand and the determination on their faces compared to the worry on the others faces. They're gonna protect their kids no matter what!
The fact that this is the very first time in the whole show that they use the main music theme during an actual episode, only contributes towards giving you a greater feeling of how special this scene is. It's the beginning of the end. EDIT: After many of you telling me, I've realized they have used the main theme before in an episode. So...sorry. Still pretty epic though!
@@stevelol2812 yeah but that's the "running up that hill" epic version made by TOTEM, that sort of references the synth arpeggio from the main theme. Totally different feeling IMO
Everyone except her friends treats El like she’s a weapon, now that the fight has finally reached Hawkins the world is gonna see her for who she truly is, a hero
The Season 4 was like Avengers Infinity war, we know that this won't be the end, it covered the background story of Vecna and was letting all the main characters fight in their own ways letting them to reunite at the end for the final showdown and BOY, just like Infinity war, it was BREATHTAKING !!
If you look at 2:34 the entire storm has 8 significant 'limbs' with a large 'head' in the middle. Just like Henry's spiders. One of the limbs though looks cut in half and it might symbolise the small defeat he suffered at the end of the season, but that he is still very much powerful and alive. The entire storm is quite ominous to look at.
I thought they couldn’t top what they did in each season. I thought they couldn’t top Vecna, but then they showed Hawkins falling apart and the team losing. This ending is such a masterpiece. Love this show
I’m just glad to finally see a Lovecraftian Apocalypse story not just being made with a big budget production team behind it, but also knowing that it is one of the most popular and highly anticipated show conclusions of the current generation. God I was born in the perfect era to be a huge nerd.
Most of buffy and angel was about lovecraftian apocalypse story especially season 3 5 and 7 of buffy and season 5 and 5 of angel. Gravity falls also was very lovecraftian.
I don't know why but I love that Will still has that connection between him and the mindflayer. It's like a scar that never heals. Dude has been through shit Edit: ok guys, I get it vecna is the mindflayer..but that wasn't the point of my comment ^^
You know it means the end of will,mind flayer went into the all the demagorgon’s & they had to die to weekend vecna,same for will,hence the crying & sad will,he knows his own fate💥

The feeling that only THEY know what the snow really means, is very unsettling... It's like they are the only ones who can stop it. And then the presentation of what the portal has turned into since it opened, makes you feel hopeless. Damn good cliffhanger if i ever seen one, Infinity War type level if you ask me!! 10/10
RIGHT that what made eddies death that much more hurtful bcs Dustin is the only one that knows him as a person and knows what happened to him and his uncle only got the closure of his passing.
@@yolo-sy6zl Yeah exactly, but everyone else in Hawkins who's not aware of the upside down thinks it's snow, which makes it even more epic knowing that only a certain group of teenage people know that it actually isn't snow
This season had the best use of an orchestra yet, with max running from vecna and this scene, to give extra power to the screen and to putting up in the headspace of the characters. Such a phenomenal experience and season
This scene gave me chills. This season ending was by far the 1000% BEST ending. Also the remix of the theme song is so good. I really enjoyed everyone’s performance this season.
I like the moment where a "Star Wars" style theme begins playing while El is looking toward the smoke from the Upside Down... it feels so badass it brings tears!
THIS FINAL SCENE GAVE ME CHILLS, THE INTRO MUSIC STARTING, WILL FEELING THE MIND FLAYER'S SHADOW FORM, ASH RAINING EVERYWHERE, NATURE WITHERING, EVERYTHING JUST GAVE ME CHILLS I NEED A SEASON 5 RN
It's interesting how Hopper is looking directly at Eleven. I think he fears his adopted daughter is going to do something that is potentially dangerous to her. It's only her that can save the lives of many people in Hawkins.
@@PHILZAHOLIC but i do have a question, do you think that Hopper at the end was ready to protect just Eleven only or Will and Jonathan also? or was he determined to just protect Eleven only?
I remember when Dustin was explaining the Upside Down to Eddie, he said that “sometimes it bleeds into our world.” Well I think now it’s more than just bleeding into your world, it IS your world. I really cannot express how much I want the next season to come out and I really wanna see what they do with the story.
It's the best season of stranger things..Diving deep into each and every character arcs with superbly knit storyline it provide us with an emotional yet thrilling finale. It's cinematic in every possible way. It's the beginning of the end..
The silence is perfect. No words were said and I was all for that. You don’t always need a monologue to know what’s going on and what’s about to happen.
I hope atleast two of the main characters die, I'm hoping that alot of characters will die in S5, like robin, Jonathan, Murray (if he even appears), Karen Wheeler, and maybe even Steve. I hope that they win but with a cost, the world doesn't end the heroes win but it's still a sad ending
Can we all agree that Karen is going to play somewhat of a big part in season 5? I mean the way the camera zoomed in on her and the way she was so concerned she’s definitely gonna do something
@S Niter i think she will die as nancy said she saw mike her little sister and her mother dead and we saw the gates opening which actually happened so who knows maybe mike will die too
fucking hell this scene was actually terrifying im ngl. like not terrifying in the way that this.. whole entire season was. but like, i got literal chills from it kind of terrifying. season 4 is probably one of the most scary seasons of stranger things. really upped their game for horrifying levels ngl. very gruesome compared to the other seasons.
I think it should take less time because S4 was restricted by covid but honestly I want the duffer brothers to take as much time as needed. Sure waiting for S4 was frustrating but it paid off brilliantly.
I love that they included everyone's reactions to it with complete silence, First Everyone look's up to see the upside down particles than holly (Mikes Lil Sis) Says its snowing but Mrs. Wheeler knows for sure that its not Than A wonderful shot between brother and sister from what it looks like the hospital room where max is in and they both look at each other, knowing exactly what their gonna fight, than Steve , Robin and Dustin Rush to see what's happening and see that their sacrifices came at a cost, than we pan back to the group in the woods walking to see where exactly this storm is coming from than they all stop walking as they see a significant part of the Earth has become incredibly withered and only Eleven walks through towards the storm, (keep in mind there's no dialogue except for Holly Pointing out that the particles are here)
2:29 What a great shot!! It's actually hard to make a good "angry stare shot" before a showdown. Angry stare shots can sometimes to be too overdramatic. But Millie did a great job! I think what also makes this so fantastic is that the group is behind her. Season 5 is gonna be incredible!!
Three things I noticed 1. Wills nose was bleeding 2. The clouds looked like a spider 3. The plants, crops, and trees were rotting in the same way as season two. 4. Max technically died, so isn’t she apart of Vecna?
I was so over everyone talking about this show. Avoided it for about 6 years. Finally caught up to it, because I kept hearing the hype.. literally after catching up to all the seasons and it ending like this. And they way #1 did the gang. Had me in a tub with 20 bucks worth of salt. Listening to Kate bush. Ready to F a demon up.!
Same I’ve heard stranger things before and I don’t really understand the hype but now I’ve watch it all seasons and episode It’s literally so good, season 4 is my favorite so far
I honestly hope that Karen Wheeler will play a bigger part in season 5. Because I have a feeling she knows more about the upside down than we think (because why else would she look outside worried while she’s supposed to know nothing about the upside down?)
I honestly thought when they all reunited it was the end of the season, but when they hit us with Will feeling the storm and this song came on it gave me chills and amazed me. I cannot wait for season 5 because the duffer brothers hitting us with "You thought this season was great, wait for the next one"
Anybody remember in the 1st episode of Season 2 Will actually saying "the mind flayer wants to kill everyone , *except me* ? " I don't see Will going to the darkside or anything *but* maybe Will is making all this possible on some unconscious level ? I'm thinking to kill the upside down they may have to kill Will ?
This is how you do a season finale. The next and last season is going to be legendary. Almost hard to believe Netflix has one of the best shows out there.
It's going to be so epic. This scene, I feel like everyone is so ready for it. This scene screams that this is way bigger then them know. With will feeling the mind flayer, the it being brought back to the original group.
@@enzop2835 Well, Mind Flayer it's an actual creature. Vecna/001 just gave it the current shape similar to a black widow and joined it with that symbiotic connection, which let them share the bodies and minds
Best season finale yet. Vecna was right, this was just the beginning. The war has only just begun. Season 5 will be all out war against the Upside Down. With Vecna and the Mind Flayer together, it will take more than just El to defeat them. She will need her sister's help. Vecna and the Mind Flayer can't be all that powerful without one another. Vecna gives the mind Flayer purpose and a shape while the Mind Flayer gives vecna the ability to transcend his human form. One is weak without the other. I also feel like Will is gonna die this next season. Will have to wait until Summer 2024 to find out
@@karinanehrkorn919 yeah El left her sister cause she didnt wanna live the life her sister was living. But with no choice and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, her sister will have no choice but to join the fight
I love this bitter-sweet ending, where the characters get back together only to remember(and see) that there lives are still in danger, it’s a great way of showing us that once the mind flayer gets out of that gate, shit is about to go down
It already looks like shit it going down with those tornadoes and that storm. The town has to believe it now. An earthquake doenst do shit like that plus what about the millitary we can’t forget about them hunting eleven the storm is only the beginning once the other animals and mind flayer and vecna get out it’s gonna go down
I don't think i ever saw a better ending, the emotions that i was having while watching, i can't explain it. I just know that season 5 will be the next level! Good job!
"The weary travellers looked on in immense dread. They knew now they had lost everything as the gates of Hell had opened and began to swallow the Earth. Even though the Angel was with them, things looked grim as a precession of creatures would soon come through." Don't ask why I wrote this. I just thought it'd be a neat little fantastical way to describe the scene 😆
This is phenomenal I really loved the use of the music and the scene where they are All standing out staring into the upside down spilling into the real world…Chills!
Fan theory I saw but still reckon is a bit of a stretch is that she's vecnas sister who survived the attack or something and recognises the upside-down somehow idk
@@tobyrubble and there's another fan theory that says that Vecna is the biological father of all the psychic kids including El, so if those theories are combined you get that El and Mike are cousins and in an incestuous relationship
I don’t think she knows anything yet, but I think she’s known that something more was going on, and she’s the most likely of the parents besides Joyce that will become more involved
@@tobyrubble She shouldn't though, cause his sister never went there. We also know her name is Alice, not Karen. Karen is a pretty recurring character, that's all. Makes no sense to show Lucas' or Dustin's mums cause they're barely in it, whereas Karen has had quite a few scenes.
You can tell in the first second of the scene, while it's will who's scared, it's vecna who should be scared of will. His connection to the upside down is gonna f vecna up.
The music adds everything to this scene, the main music symbolizes the beginning of the end this show is perfect. I also love how they added extra instrumentals makes it that much more epic.
0:03 Every time a movie or shows starts doing an ominous darkling of clouds, I always revert back to my childhood time and my mind starts playing the ending of Mortal Kombat (1995), hearing "You weak pathetic fools, I've come for your souls!"
Definitely, we already know that was the mind flayer, wills has a very strong connection to the mind flayer, it might show more of his connection to 001/Vecna, and tbh the only season where he was a Major part of was season 2 when the mind flayer was the villain. It also might show him getting back to Hawkins and how he’ll handle it.
Totally agree.. can't believe there's people that didn't enjoy this season and ranked it as their least favorite.. it had some of the best and most epic Stranger Things scenes ever.
@@garrybrown2627 originally i thought it was my least favourite going in just because it started slow- halfway through i already knew god was i wrong 💀💀💀
3 dead, Max in a coma, Vecna's plan came together, his vision is coming true. Man ST5 is gonna be a wild ending. I hope Eight joins the fight with Eleven and she meets the gang, that would be so cool.
I swear this has to be the best season ending, gave me chills, that Stranger Things music kicking in and Will feeling the Mind Flayer is just perfect.

She is an incredible performer. The casting team picked really great actors for specific roles.

This season had the best use of an orchestra yet, with max running from vecna and this scene, to give extra power to the screen and to putting up in the headspace of the characters. Such a phenomenal experience and season
THE SCORE IS SO FREAKING GOOD. THAT KEY CHANGE AND THE ORCHESTRA GAVE ME CHILLS. Season 5’s gonna be so good
It's hauntingly good... 😭 Damn.
This has got to be the best season ending on Netflix. Or any show in general. Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?! THE MUSIC AND VISUALS ARE 10/10
Best cliffhanger ever.
Can’t wait to see season 5 in 2032 🤪
In 2023 or 2024 it will arrive.
Oh Funny itsin 2023🖕
It’s coming out in 2024 because we had to wait 2 years for stranger things season 4 to come out
@@Zestypolor that doesnt mean all the seasons r gonna take 2 yrs
@@emasbored7168 yep
This just hits even harder when you realize that they are probably about to have the fight of their lives
Hearing that soundtrack at the beginning brought up so many memories….
This scene gave me chills. This season ending was by far the 1000% BEST ending. Also the remix of the theme song is so good. I really enjoyed everyone’s performance this season.
I like the moment where a "Star Wars" style theme begins playing while El is looking toward the smoke from the Upside Down... it feels so badass it brings tears!
The creators of the show said that the final season/season 5 will be like return of the Jedi
The Empire Strikes Back was a major influence on Season 4 and Star Wars big inspiration on Stranger Things in general
They also said Return of the King
Return of the jedi and empire strikes back inspiration
I'm so hyped for Season 5!!!
THIS FINAL SCENE GAVE ME CHILLS, THE INTRO MUSIC STARTING, WILL FEELING THE MIND FLAYER'S SHADOW FORM, ASH RAINING EVERYWHERE, NATURE WITHERING, EVERYTHING JUST GAVE ME CHILLS I NEED A SEASON 5 RN
It's interesting how Hopper is looking directly at Eleven. I think he fears his adopted daughter is going to do something that is potentially dangerous to her. It's only her that can save the lives of many people in Hawkins.
That's what heroes do.....

@@PHILZAHOLICwas he looking at El in that shot or the UD bleeding into the earth? Sorry if i sound dumb 😅
@@yessyvascielo1131 i think he was looking away like everyone else at the end but you can see him look at el on the timestamp
@@PHILZAHOLIC but i do have a question, do you think that Hopper at the end was ready to protect just Eleven only or Will and Jonathan also? or was he determined to just protect Eleven only?
I remember when Dustin was explaining the Upside Down to Eddie, he said that “sometimes it bleeds into our world.” Well I think now it’s more than just bleeding into your world, it IS your world. I really cannot express how much I want the next season to come out and I really wanna see what they do with the story.
this was definitely the best season of stranger things and the ending was amazing!
S3 and s4 will always be my favourites too
@@violetmolloy68 agreed
@Otaku Aarsh I dont think season 3 was the best, but I loved rewatching it because of the summer of 80s feel to it.
@Otaku Aarsh S2 is the best stop the cap
Season 1 is still the best seasons especially considering it had the best acting performances with Winona, Charlie, and Millie.
The way music was incorporated in this season is just amazing give that man a raise
To think that the last sentence of season 4 was "Mommy it's snowing💀"
Lol poor Holly 😂
@@bobstacks8405 Literal mvp
It's the best season of stranger things..Diving deep into each and every character arcs with superbly knit storyline it provide us with an emotional yet thrilling finale. It's cinematic in every possible way.
It's the beginning of the end..
The end of a long beginning?
Yeah except for Will, they completely forgot he's a main character season 3 onwards🤦♀️
@@canny_linguist Probably 😅
Slightly above average definitely not better than season 3
@@sovereign6445 it is better
They had one chance to play the theme song for a scene, and they did it perfectly.
Meanwhile Argyle collecting mushrooms:
He finds a black mushroom and thinks he found a new species or smthn
The silence is perfect. No words were said and I was all for that. You don’t always need a monologue to know what’s going on and what’s about to happen.
Vecna Won,The Group Lost. This Is Infinity War of Stranger Things, Season 5 Will Be Endgame. I Think 2-3 People Will Die Trying To Stop Vecna.
I hope atleast two of the main characters die, I'm hoping that alot of characters will die in S5, like robin, Jonathan, Murray (if he even appears), Karen Wheeler, and maybe even Steve. I hope that they win but with a cost, the world doesn't end the heroes win but it's still a sad ending
Don’t forget about the mind flayer.
Well, I speculate one will be either Steve or Jonathan to settle that love triangle with Nancy once and for all.
@@andrewjudeus6283 Or in an insane twist, Nancy dies to settle that love triangle.
Some of us WIi die
Can we all agree that Karen is going to play somewhat of a big part in season 5? I mean the way the camera zoomed in on her and the way she was so concerned she’s definitely gonna do something
Yup, she's finally gonna learn what her sons have been up to for the past three years
@S Niter bruh how that makes no sense
@S Niter I'm just saying how the theory doesn't make sense. And yeah, maybe she'll play a role next season we'll just have to wait and see
@S Niter i think she will die as nancy said she saw mike her little sister and her mother dead and we saw the gates opening which actually happened so who knows maybe mike will die too
also she's the only parent in the credits?
apart from joyce and hop ofc
fucking hell this scene was actually terrifying im ngl. like not terrifying in the way that this.. whole entire season was. but like, i got literal chills from it kind of terrifying.
season 4 is probably one of the most scary seasons of stranger things. really upped their game for horrifying levels ngl.
very gruesome compared to the other seasons.
What an amazing finale, it's got me super pumped for Season 5. Hopefully we won't have to wait three years for it!
Only 2
I think it should take less time because S4 was restricted by covid but honestly I want the duffer brothers to take as much time as needed. Sure waiting for S4 was frustrating but it paid off brilliantly.
2025
Its the fact that everyone knew from jump it wasnt over but they thought their was gonna be more time to recover got me anxious for season 5
I love that they included everyone's reactions to it with complete silence, First Everyone look's up to see the
upside down particles than holly (Mikes Lil Sis) Says its snowing but Mrs. Wheeler knows for sure that its not
Than A wonderful shot between brother and sister from what it looks like the hospital room where max is in
and they both look at each other, knowing exactly what their gonna fight, than Steve , Robin and Dustin Rush to see what's happening and see that their sacrifices came at a cost, than we pan back to the group in the woods walking to see where exactly this storm is coming from than they all stop walking as they see a significant part of the Earth has become incredibly withered and only Eleven walks through towards the storm, (keep in mind there's no dialogue except for Holly Pointing out that the particles are here)
😭😩
yreah we watched the same clip dude
@@amarson2322 LMFAO
@@amarson2322 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This score is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for the season finale. Can’t wait for season 5!
When you realize the fact that everyone was so quiet except the little girl who said “mom it’s snowing!”
You mean Holly? She’s Nancy and Mike’s sister.
@@monokumasussy9685 yep
Yes we realized that. What about it??
2:29 What a great shot!! It's actually hard to make a good "angry stare shot" before a showdown. Angry stare shots can sometimes to be too overdramatic. But Millie did a great job! I think what also makes this so fantastic is that the group is behind her. Season 5 is gonna be incredible!!
The reunion between El and Hopper was so poetic 😭😭👨🏻🦲❤👩🏻🦲
0:10 hopper in the background, he‘s like: not that shit again 😂
THE MUSIC,THE CHILLS THIS SEASON WAS EPIC!😭😭 can’t wait for the final season
The music in this scene is absolutely gorgeous, totally completes it, 10/10
Three things I noticed
1. Wills nose was bleeding
2. The clouds looked like a spider
3. The plants, crops, and trees were rotting in the same way as season two.
4. Max technically died, so isn’t she apart of Vecna?
Was Will's nose bleeding? I didn't notice...
It isn't@@gostosaeburra
The ending of this season perfectly set up the final season of this incredible show. Well done to the Duffer Brothers for this piece of television!!!!
I was so over everyone talking about this show. Avoided it for about 6 years. Finally caught up to it, because I kept hearing the hype.. literally after catching up to all the seasons and it ending like this. And they way #1 did the gang. Had me in a tub with 20 bucks worth of salt. Listening to Kate bush. Ready to F a demon up.!
Same, now I'm obsessed
Welcome to the cul- I mean fandom
It's been only 3 weeks since I started watching it's been a great journey ☕
Same
I’ve heard stranger things before and I don’t really understand the hype but now I’ve watch it all seasons and episode
It’s literally so good, season 4 is my favorite so far
Welcome aboard!
I honestly hope that Karen Wheeler will play a bigger part in season 5.
Because I have a feeling she knows more about the upside down than we think (because why else would she look outside worried while she’s supposed to know nothing about the upside down?)
i am excited to see what karen has to offer in season 5!
Omg that would be a cool twist if she knew
Season 4 was such a classic . The best tv series I ever watched
The start of the Original Theme to the Epic Version was just perfect and so hype
I honestly thought when they all reunited it was the end of the season, but when they hit us with Will feeling the storm and this song came on it gave me chills and amazed me. I cannot wait for season 5 because the duffer brothers hitting us with "You thought this season was great, wait for the next one"
Final scene with an epic shot. The beginning of the end has just began.
Anybody remember in the 1st episode of Season 2 Will actually saying "the mind flayer wants to kill everyone , *except me* ? " I don't see Will going to the darkside or anything *but* maybe Will is making all this possible on some unconscious level ? I'm thinking to kill the upside down they may have to kill Will ?
Yeah. I feel that. .. Will likely be the Tony Stark level sacrifice.
Since Will is the main focus next season I believe he is the key to killing Vecna
Whoa
Please come back to this if this is true for season 5
We will. Let's return here next year all!!
This is how you do a season finale. The next and last season is going to be legendary. Almost hard to believe Netflix has one of the best shows out there.
this scene was amazing. the chills i get every time i watch this. i’m not a fan of cliffhangers like this but what a season!
It's going to be so epic. This scene, I feel like everyone is so ready for it. This scene screams that this is way bigger then them know. With will feeling the mind flayer, the it being brought back to the original group.
than*, now*... and other stuff. Why the heck you talk like that 🤌? You illiterate fuc*er.
It's not the mind flayer, it's Vecna.
@@enzop2835 its the mf
@@enzop2835 Well, Mind Flayer it's an actual creature. Vecna/001 just gave it the current shape similar to a black widow and joined it with that symbiotic connection, which let them share the bodies and minds
This ending scene + The background music = Deadliest combination 🔥
The music kicking up just amplifies an already amazing scene to new heights.
The fact that The Upside Down is becoming a part of their reality makes me feel like season 5 will be an Endgame for everyone.
This new version of the main theme with the violin and other instruments is insanely good, im kinda glad they’ve only used it here so far
Best season finale yet. Vecna was right, this was just the beginning. The war has only just begun. Season 5 will be all out war against the Upside Down. With Vecna and the Mind Flayer together, it will take more than just El to defeat them. She will need her sister's help. Vecna and the Mind Flayer can't be all that powerful without one another. Vecna gives the mind Flayer purpose and a shape while the Mind Flayer gives vecna the ability to transcend his human form. One is weak without the other. I also feel like Will is gonna die this next season. Will have to wait until Summer 2024 to find out
It would be dope if it was like hawkins vs the upside down, but I can most likely to see that more
Omg forgot about her sister! I'm rewatching the series and that would be awesome if her sister joined the fight!! 😱
It would be really nice if we didn't have to wait 2 years.
@@karinanehrkorn919 yeah El left her sister cause she didnt wanna live the life her sister was living. But with no choice and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, her sister will have no choice but to join the fight
@@charlierunkle19 yeah. All they said was summer 2024. But I'd be willing to wait 2 years if it's gonna be as good as season 4 was
I love this bitter-sweet ending, where the characters get back together only to remember(and see) that there lives are still in danger, it’s a great way of showing us that once the mind flayer gets out of that gate, shit is about to go down
It already looks like shit it going down with those tornadoes and that storm. The town has to believe it now. An earthquake doenst do shit like that plus what about the millitary we can’t forget about them hunting eleven the storm is only the beginning once the other animals and mind flayer and vecna get out it’s gonna go down
I love how they used the synth music but added more orchestral music to really fit the end of the world theme
I don't think i ever saw a better ending, the emotions that i was having while watching, i can't explain it. I just know that season 5 will be the next level! Good job!
The end scene was everything they always leave as on cliff hangers I love it
"The weary travellers looked on in immense dread. They knew now they had lost everything as the gates of Hell had opened and began to swallow the Earth. Even though the Angel was with them, things looked grim as a precession of creatures would soon come through."
Don't ask why I wrote this. I just thought it'd be a neat little fantastical way to describe the scene 😆
If stranger things was a fantasy book, this would fit perfectly
Honestly this is the best way to describe this scene
This is phenomenal I really loved the use of the music and the scene where they are All standing out staring into the upside down spilling into the real world…Chills!
Karen is looking thru a window like she knows something...She will be in season 5 for sure💯
Fan theory I saw but still reckon is a bit of a stretch is that she's vecnas sister who survived the attack or something and recognises the upside-down somehow idk
@@tobyrubble and there's another fan theory that says that Vecna is the biological father of all the psychic kids including El, so if those theories are combined you get that El and Mike are cousins and in an incestuous relationship
I don’t think she knows anything yet, but I think she’s known that something more was going on, and she’s the most likely of the parents besides Joyce that will become more involved
@@penne4107 yeahh, PARENTS ASSEMBLE
@@tobyrubble She shouldn't though, cause his sister never went there. We also know her name is Alice, not Karen.
Karen is a pretty recurring character, that's all. Makes no sense to show Lucas' or Dustin's mums cause they're barely in it, whereas Karen has had quite a few scenes.
This was the best season ever
@@Lamiishere no.
@@Lamiishere your moms one 🖕
Sorry but season 3>>> you can’t change my mind
@@Lamiishere umm how?
@@Lamiishere s3*
You can tell in the first second of the scene, while it's will who's scared, it's vecna who should be scared of will. His connection to the upside down is gonna f vecna up.
The music adds everything to this scene, the main music symbolizes the beginning of the end this show is perfect. I also love how they added extra instrumentals makes it that much more epic.
0:03 Every time a movie or shows starts doing an ominous darkling of clouds, I always revert back to my childhood time and my mind starts playing the ending of Mortal Kombat (1995), hearing "You weak pathetic fools, I've come for your souls!"
I have a feeling Will will be the main focus in season 5
He will be. The Duffers themselves confirmed it.
They story started with will it will end with will
He prolly die also
Definitely, we already know that was the mind flayer, wills has a very strong connection to the mind flayer, it might show more of his connection to 001/Vecna, and tbh the only season where he was a Major part of was season 2 when the mind flayer was the villain. It also might show him getting back to Hawkins and how he’ll handle it.
Season 4 was just the beginning and now Season 5 is gonna be an ALL OUT WAR
This season was a masterpiece
Totally agree.. can't believe there's people that didn't enjoy this season and ranked it as their least favorite.. it had some of the best and most epic Stranger Things scenes ever.
@@garrybrown2627 originally i thought it was my least favourite going in just because it started slow- halfway through i already knew god was i wrong 💀💀💀
@@jimboringo9958yeah after the 4th episode every scene felt like a movie
3 dead, Max in a coma, Vecna's plan came together, his vision is coming true. Man ST5 is gonna be a wild ending. I hope Eight joins the fight with Eleven and she meets the gang, that would be so cool.
