We all know what is going to bring the Byers back to Hawkins in season four. Spoiler: when they find out that Hopper isn’t dead
I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about this, but has anyone seen that one clip of Eddie and Dustin together back to back?
I was rewatching the vol 2 sneak peak and I realized that Eddie is holding Steve’s nail bat!! This is so cute, I bet there was this whole scene where Steve is telling Eddie to protect Dustin for him, since he’ll be doing something else. And Steve gives Eddie the bat like a good luck charm.
Ugh I’m just so excited to see them again.
Ok so here’s something I just realized. When Tammy Thompson is singing the anthem in season 4, it transitions into a guitar as Mike, Dustin, and Erica are walking to Hellfire. This seems like a huge foreshadowing that I don’t think anyone else has picked up on.
What if the song Eddie is playing in the trailer is the National anthem? I honestly hope they don’t do this (it feels a little corny), but it’s just a thought. The only reason for playing the National anthem would be if everyone in Hawkins was somehow put under the curse at the same time, and they needed a song they could guarantee everyone knows.
Some big flaws for this idea are:
1. I can’t imagine the anthem being enough to save EVERYONE in Hawkins, considering a lot of people wouldn’t have an emotional connection to it
2. I’ve heard it so many times it wouldn’t have much of an impact on me as a viewer (unless they pull off a miracle with the soundtrack)
3. And finally, how would the sound reach everyone in Hawkins? I know Dustin is in the scene near the speakers (probably amplifying them), but it doesn’t seem like it’d be enough.
On this line of thought, maybe Eddie is playing a bunch of different songs in a row on top of his trailer in order to reach as many people as possible? I’ve heard the theory about him playing his guitar to save Nancy, but it seems too obvious for it to be true. I feel like there’s something more going on with that scene, and I’m super excited to see it!
More photos from stranger things 4 volume 2 were released!
Based on these, it seems like Nancy survives Vecna’s curse and Eddie doesn’t die saving her. I can’t tell where the pictures take place for the Hawkins group, so if anyone recognizes the backgrounds let me know!
Do you ever just have those outlandish theories that probably aren’t true, but you’re just waiting for one of them to be right?
For me, I think that Hopper’s Russian guard friend is actually a deep cover agent that was established to gain his trust and get information about the Demogorgon. Change my mind.
I just had this awesome stranger things 4 volume two theory!!! Credit goes to @.dizay on tiktok for pointing this out.
So in the tiktok the user points out that in the D&D game in the first episode Dustin couldn’t beat Vecna when he rolled an ELEVEN. This foreshadows El being unable to beat Vecna alone, just like Brenner said. But at the same time as the D&D game is being played, Lucas wins the basketball game at the last second by scoring the winning shot. Guess what number he is? EIGHT!!! THIS could foreshadow Eight, aka Kali, coming to El’s rescue near the end.
Imagine this: El has just lost against Vecna, and a majority of not all of the cast have been captured and/or killed by Vecna. Vecna is making his victory speech that we hear in the trailer, and as he’s about to finish El off, the striking blow goes THROUGH her! He, along with the audience, realizes this was an illusion and that everyone is getting away!
Having Kali come back would be EPIC! I’ve always wondered what else the Duffer brothers were going to do with her, especially because she appeared only in season two and was never mentioned again. They’ve proven with clock noises throughout the series that there has been a plan this whole time, so I don’t think they’d introduce Kali just to further El’s arc in season two. I think they WANTED us to forget about her, so when she comes in and saves the day it’s even more amazing! This theory is supported by the fact that Kali was referred to briefly by Vecna during El’s time at the lab, and I don’t think she’s ever been mentioned before this outside of season 2.
Even if this theory is totally wrong, I still believe Kali will be back! Lucas getting the winning shot could be foreshadowing Kali’s triumphant return next season instead of this season. Who knows honestly, this show is so good at getting you thinking you know what’s up and then it turns out you actually don’t. Can’t wait for volume 2!!!
There have been a lot of theories about what, why, and for who eddie is playing his guitar in the trailer. I’ve seen some people say it’s The Final Countdown, but I’ve seen more plausible evidence saying it’s Master of Puppets by Metallica. There’s also the fact that Master of Puppets appear on my Upside Down Spotify playlist. For those who don’t know, Spotify made a playlist designed to help you escape from Vecna. I NEVER listen to any type of metal, so it seems weird that this song would show up unless it’s a major part of volume 2.
So I’m not entirely sure why eddie would be playing Master of Puppets in the upside down. I don’t think it’s for Nancy both because it’s too obvious, and because I don’t think it would be her favorite song. I have a previous post talking about how Eddie could be playing the National anthem to get the whole town out of Vecna’s curse, but perhaps he’s playing a mashup of songs and Master of puppets is only one of them.
As for who he’s playing, I had this whole idea about how Eddie could be playing the song to help HIMSELF out of a vision, but I think that’s debunked because Dustin can be seen in one of the shots of Eddie playing.
However, I still think there’s a possibility that people can find a way out of visions without someone else playing their favorite song. Maybe the cursed person can sing to themselves? I think this would be really cool to see, and if it happens I’m volume 2 then I called it
