    Ok so Stranger Things is back with it's fourth season that feels longer than the wait we had between this and the last one. I don't care, I love it and the entry is one of, if not my favourite season that we've ever had.
    One of the last genuine mega hits that Netflix have yet to cancel, The execs have changed up their binge model and they've given us the first seven episodes with the latter two dropping on July 1st.
    In it we have several storylines going on such as Eleven taking a trip down memory lane, Dustin and Co attempting to get to the bottom of a murder mystery, Joyce and Murray attempting to save Hopper and Hopper trying to survive the harsh prison that is Kamchatka. The first two threads in this connect together as do the last two and there's a lot that we learn about in this first volume that perfectly sets things up for Volume 2.
    Throughout this video we're gonna be turning it up to eleven, so sit back, relax and please hit that thumbs up button. Also make sure you subscribe as we're gonna be doing videos on the show every week in the lead up to the second volume before we do a deep dive on that as well.
    With that out the way, thanks for clicking this, now let's get into Stranger Things 4.
    Now this is the story all about how Vecnas life got flip turned upside down cut that cut tha
    -
    So one of the most terrifying aspects of the new season is Vecna, a humanoid creature from the upside down who traps his prey in a fantasy before he brutally murders them in eye popping fashion. In the build up to this the characters become lost in a fantasy and they start to see vivid hallucinations that appear similar to a nightmare that they can't escape from. I definitely got lots of Nightmare on Elm Street Vibes from this and we get not only a mention of Freddie Krueger but also a cameo by Robert Englund at one point.
    Given the name by the Hellfireclub, he's assigned this because in Dungeon's and Dragons Vecna was a powerful wizard that became a lich aka an undead creature.
    This actually turns out to be true as we discover his backstory through Eleven.
    The season opens with her as a child apparently murdering all the other subjects in Brenner's experiment but as the season goes on we discover this isn't the truth. There's even a hint towards the eventual reveal in this moment as we can see a tear on the wall behind her which we learn is where she sent Vecna into the upside down. Early on Eleven really struggles to fit in at high school and after being publicly humiliated she ends up losing her cool and attacking her high school bully. This allows Dr. Owens to come to her as a friend and after he tricks her into working with Brenner once more, she eventually agrees to go into a machine he's crafted called Nina.

      His acting was the reason I hope he goes on the good side in S5 instead of being killed by el.

      @@zaradavies9194 right, and the only thing he did say about her was that she was on to him, so she had to go, which was right after the radio turned on by itself. I doubt he turned on the radio himself since it crests a lifeline for his victims. Though, I’m not entirely sure how vecnas father heard music and came out of the trance, especially when Vecna later stated he passed out, releasing his father, because Vecnas mother was already dead.

    The actress that played Max (Sadie Sink) really knocked it out of the park this season. For me, she went from a pointless secondary character from the last two seasons to an important main character in just a few episodes. Her performance throughout the season was just incredibly impressive, but episode 4 was phenomenal.
    The last time I was this impressed was with Will's (Noah Schnapp) performance in Season 2, after basically just being a plot point in season 1.

      I wouldn't say love necessarily, probably just happy moments because Max and Creel also escaped from Vecna/001's power by being reminded of something that made them happy. Something the video didn't mention is that 001 wasn't able to kill Victor Creel because he was reminded of the 'voice of an angel', rather than 001 not being strong enough, causing him to collapse or whatever.

    The Nina Project was a very clever way of getting around having to use expensive cgi for Eleven throughout the entire "flashback" scenes in the Hawkins Lab. It felt natural, like that part of the plot/writing was created just because it was supposed to be part of the story, instead of to fix or avoid having to use a certain filmmaking or editorial technique. A lot of times when a decision like that is made it can feel very unorganic, and is painfully clear that it was written into the plot just to navigate a budget issue and allow them to avoid having to use a certain method of effects, etc. This was very good writing, in my opinion, and it meant they only needed to show Eleven as a child one or two times in the mirror for it to work.

      @@oscarhernandez4258 Nope. The show was originally going to be an anthology series (aka new characters with new actors for each season) and they had no intention of ever expanding the characters or that story from S1, not really all planned out. With the huge unexpected success they got, they had to redirect their creativity decisions. Seems like and feels like the duffer brothers were really making up stuff along the way for S2 and S3. No plan what so ever and therefore they had to tie a plot threat of why does this monster want Eleven for example. They had to figured it themselves in order to make their story sense. I wouldn't call it a twist as I thought it was rather obvious, a cliche origin villain story, but to some extent, makes sense as to why the main villain has been wanting Eleven. So in a way this season does seem the duffer brothers are trying to tie things back from the main S1 stories together, for the most part.

There have been several conversations about combining or swapping things and how Eleven doesn't belong. Also, Kate Bush's song has a big role. "If I only could, make a deal with God, I'd get him to swap our places".

Each A,B,C, etc plot perfectly tie into each other while showing off examples of almost every genre popular in 80's film. Action and Adventure with the Russian plot, Mystery and Thriller with the kid plot, and even Romance and Conspiracy with the California Plot. All while under a beautiful nostalgic Sci-fi/ Fantasy blanket. The upside down journey is literally a dungeons and dragons campaign. I could go on and on about the cast, pacing, cinematography but it's completely self apparent. This is a love letter to 80's Horror and Culture!

    I was worried that like the second and third seasons, season 4 would decrease in quality, but I actually ended up really enjoying it! It is probably the second best season after the first, of course. There's some plot lines that I really hope we see and explore more of in the final season, but I am excited for the ending. I did predict that the guy was 001, but I did not predict that he was vecna. I think that it was an appropriate plot twist that makes a lot of sense, not like a lot of modern plot twists that are just put in for audience shock value. Excited for season 5 in a month!

    I don't mind having the longer episodes to show more "mundane" things! It helps with the character development and keeps me invested in the characters. Otherwise, to me, it would feel like I was watching Dr. Strange 2 where they had one event after the other too quickly. I think it helps to have "down time" to catch up and digest what you saw. Plus, those moments are what makes it a cinematic experience, as opposed to burning through plot. Overall, this was a great season!!

Back in season 2, Mike was the only one by Will's side the entire time he was possessed by the mind flayer, so it makes sense if Will has feelings for him. Another hint was in episode one where Will reacted disgusted when that girl in his class was tryna touch feet (or it could just be a normal reaction cause he's uninterested but hey, who knows). In their conversation before leaving with Argyle, with Will telling Mike about being afraid to tell the people you care for most the truth, you could tell Will was feeling this in that moment.

He said something along the lines of Brenner wanting to clone him because of his power, yet he didn’t specify how they cloned him. I think it’s supposed to be another big reveal for later in the season that he is El’s father. Which you’re right is very Empire Strikes Back and we know how much they love paying homage to 80s films. The ages match up too. If One was like 11 years old in 1959 then he’s 31 in 1979. Oldest kid in Hawkins lab was like 13 so they probably started taking One’s “dna” when he turned 18.

    Here’s all my finale predictions based on tropes and D&D lore
    - seems that the most powerful trigger for 11s powers is love, so Mike saying I love you will be how she kills Vecna
    - during their D&D fight with Vecna, Sinclair kills Vecna with a critical hit. Maybe they call El’s attack a critical hit
    - Vecna is a lich. Therefore he has a phylactery. At least in D&D and they seem to be suggesting his soul mongering. A phylactery is what grants a lich its immortality. It’s a soul jar which vecnas building at the creel house from the traumatized folks, my guess to revive the mind flayer unless there is a bigger bad guy since we have yet to learn the origin of the upside down / the psychic powers, and I don’t think it was 1. After all, Dustin said he was the general
    - vecna’s eye and hand are the famous magic items which made the character so famous. So far he has a claw which alludes to the hand of vecna and the eye popping which references the missing eye. I expect him to have his arm chopped off.
    - However, it’s the Sword of Kas (El) which betrayed Vecna and cut off those limbs and killed Vecna. A few years later in 2nd edition, the modules Vecna Lives and two others released bringing him back. Now a days, he’s famous for being a villain on Critical Roll and Joe Manginello’s character from the series Arkhan the Cruel canonically possesses the hand in the 5th edition officially published module Descent into Avernus

    @williamdoran2122 2 ปีที่แล้ว +68

    So I've just finished the end of season 4 and here are my thoughts on where it may be going and what may have been hinted at so far, here me out on this. Firstly, I think the upside down is a manifestation of 1's subconscious, his view of an ideal world if you will. If you look at what he does to his victims, takes their eyes and breaks their limbs and see the parallel to the demogorgons, they too have no eyes and their anatomy, specifically their joints are backwards (I'll come back to this). I've seen a lot of comments saying about how the Mind Flayer may be using one but I definitely think that the Mind Flayer is a creation of 1's subconscious like everything else in the upside down. It has similar anatomy to a spider which 1 has a love for and is portrayed as kind of a queen to the demogorgons. Now, going back to 1's speech. He mentioned how people are stuck in an endless loops all their lives going around and around in circles, I think that is why in the upside down (the manifestation of his inner world) time stands still. Why it stands still at the specific time of when Will first went missing I'm not really sure. Secondly, I think that the demogorgons are embodiments of his previous victims, referring back to the earlier parallels that can be drawn between the two. Also, how he said how the other patients he killer were not lost and had become a part of him is another direct parallel to how the monster from the upside down worked in season 3, by feeding off what he sees as the weak and absorbing them to grow stronger and stronger. There's a lot more I could go on about but this comment is already too long haha, would love to know what others think about this. And sorry it's a bit badly written, it's kind of a quick splurge of my thoughts.

      I think your thoughts sound pretty spot on! To me, it seems like the upside down existed prior, but 11 created the first physical gate into it from our world, when she ripped it open and sent 001 there.. who then as you said manifested his subconscious on that entire world. We see 001/Vecna being suspended and connected to tentacles- which could be the origin point of the larger hive mind of tentacles that entangle the entire surface of upside down.. almost like a spiders web.
      And the reason the upside is frozen on the day Will was snatched into it, is maybe because it was the first time Vecna reopened the gate between the upside down and our world- kind of cementing Hawkins, on that particular day, as the unchanging landscape that populated the upside down..
      Also, just a side note observation is that 001 was physically flayed during his transformation into Vecna as he fell through upside down.

    It doesn’t make sense to me how it can be the exact same day Eleven trapped One in the upside down, Nancy wrote into her diary on the day Will disappeared and Eleven has touched the Demogorgon to open the gate in the lab to make the Demogorgon escape to hunt Will. Is anybody getting this and could explain it to me?

    • @willmccurdy4049
      @willmccurdy4049 2 ปีที่แล้ว +133

      It wasn’t the same day as Will’s disappearance. That event took place in October of 1983. The opening scene of season 4 showed that the day El trapped One in the upside down took place in September of 1979. So One/Vecna had presumably 4 years in the upside down before El opened the gate and released the Demogorgon.

      @skylargray5642 2 ปีที่แล้ว +61

      Its not the same day. They’re two different events 4 years apart. Eleven trapped One in 1979. Then in 1983, she accidentally released the demogorgon that took Will.
      We still have yet to know exactly what Vecna has been doing all this time since 1979. We also still have yet to know how time works in the upside down and how often the upside down duplicates the Earth as part of its reflection. So far we know it duplicated the Earth in 1983 and hasn’t duplicated again since. I’m sure episodes 8 and 9 will clarify more on that.

    Easily the best season so far. Every episode was great, in my opinion dear billy and episode 7 were the best. Agree with you about how each episode left a cliffhanger which would of been fine if it was once a week but I don’t mind binging it and having to wait another month. Interested to see if they do have vecna leaving the upside down for a showdown against Eleven, either way I do believe El will get the best of him again and return home to Hopper in the end. I was pretty surprised they left this volume with Nancy still in the upside down but I think episode 8 will start with Steve and probably the others getting her out. Also one last thing I know I can’t be the only one to pick up on this, did they make Will gay for Mike? I know they were best friends and all but they way he looked and talked to him plus made him a painting and just wanted nothing to do with that girl in the classroom when she was touching him was pretty weird. Anyway Great recap and can not wait for these last two episodes

      Will is absolutely gay. Mike doesn't seem that way, but there's been clues they will end up as a couple or at least confess their true feelings. Notice how El was complaining about the lack of "love Mike" on his letter's to her? I think that alone is a sign.

      @@mnlifer6141 No, Mike is not gay. I'm guessing he's so weird towards Will because he feels there's something different, but he doesn't want to hurt his friend's feelings. The fact he can't say "I love you" to El is just a plot point.. They'll save it for the last episodes.

    Idk why so many people seem to think vecna is the ruler or creator of the upside down. It clearly existed before him, IT transforms him, not the other way around and he is powerful but he really hasnt shown himself to be more powerful than a being (mindflayer) that can literally telepathically control a whole planet of creatures or take away the powers of someone stronger than vecna (eleven) so yea, vecna is powerful but doesnt hold a candle to the mindflayer tbh and definitely not strong enough to create an entire alternate universe. Theres a reason why hes season 4s ultimate villain and not season 5s, that spot is reserved for the mind flayer.

    • @aria1970
      @aria1970 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m pretty sure the ending hinted to vecna controlling the mind flayer and demogorgons (I could easily be wrong but this is what made sense in my head) well we know it was created beforehand but the mind flayer didn’t appear until years later after vecna being trapped in the upside down and after the demogorgon killed those people in season 1 (1983).. we also know vecna has the ability to create things to mess with people.. a piece of evidence for vecna being either 100% in control of them or being them directly is at the end when it shows Nancy trapped in the empty pool and he talks about remembering every kill.. only he didn’t kill barb.. the demogorgon did.. idk that’s what made sense in my head.. what did u think of that stuff??

    • @aria1970
      @aria1970 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok hello I have come back and read an article.. ignore everything I said.. well.. ok the mind flayer is likely the strongest villain but I do think vecna has more power than we think bc he did claim responsibility for barbs death like I mentioned in my last response.. hopefully volume 2 clears some stuff up tho but regardless they’re still both very cool characters

      @@aria1970 In the series it's been confirmed by Dustin that Vecna's the 5-star soldier of the Mind Flayer.
      The Mind Flayer's the Mind of the upside down, while Vecna's more the guy doing the actual work.
      Obviously, the Mind Flayer has an influence on Vecna. I believe it could completely control Vecna, but it obviously doesn't want to.
      Vecna's already so evil it doesn't need controlling. Also, Vecna's not stronger than the Mind Flayer. The Mind Flayer controls everything, including the vines, and Vecna's attached to what? Oh, vines.
      Also MF completely depowered Eleven and was almost successful at entering the Human world. While Vecna's more killing 1 by 1. Vecna's opening as much gates as he can, so the mind flayer can come through and have a big battle with eleven.
