I’ve always wondered if there’s a purpose to why Mike was the only one to see Max’s symptoms.She suffered the other symptoms on her own. Why Mike out of nowhere?
It could’ve been Dustin or Lucas worrying about her nosebleed bc they ACTUALLY WITNESSED her first Vecna interaction
This theory CHANGED my perspective of the tree scene & Will’s disappearance: He’s not falling out of a tree he climbed to hide in
This is AFTER he teleports in the shed; He’s fallen through a portal from Hawkins to UD. SO this is only a SMALL PORTION OF THE HEIGHT he fell from💔
It’s crazy now that I look back, how different Sadie looked between the shots inside Mike’s basement, followed by Max walking outside to Steve’s car. These scenes were filmed years apart due to covid.
Is it just me who didn’t notice this at first?
I’m still FREAKING OUT that Dustin is literally LIMPING now….
HOW does he even have a CHANCE to run from creatures?Imagine a scene where EVERYONE is panicking & running & he’s behind, STRUGGLING for his life, tears brimming his eyes until maybe Steve, Will or Mike helps him out
Jamie pre s4: “I started with Will Byers in the middle, then Winona, then Millie & the kids and the rest of the characters around. Pics of the UD, a Dracula(??)”
And he figured the connection between Will & Vecna just like that…
Me:What am I looking at? I give up.Where’s s5?!
VECNA IS YOUNG & HUMAN?!….& HOLLY IS WITH HIM?! What sort of timeline mess up is THIS?! This has to be some vision. I’m THE MOST CONFUSED ONE CAN BE RN
Imagine Ted’s reaction in s5 to the Byers FULL ON MOVING IN with the Wheelers & having multiple meals a day if he already threw a TANTRUM with Dustin over ONE MEAL…
What scares me the most is Will isn’t really the type to ‘lead’ so I wouldn’t expect him to be the FIRST one COMMANDING everyone to run when maybe other adults are present. So I think he’s placed in control or it’s HIS fault this situation is happening
WHY is there SO MANY locations in st5 that are just a BLARING FIERY RED lighting?! just like El entering Billy’s mind in s3 AND the mind lair both of which Vecna/Mf were present…so this SCREAMS vecna’s/mf’s presence in some form (not necessarily physically) in these st5 scenes…
I just know Will choking & strangling somebody to their death, unable to control himself, is going to hit SO HARD‼️ it’s so obvious atp what is causing him to do this…(stay away vecna. Actually no, come closer. We need to see possessed Will’s actions in FULL FORCE)
Am I imagining this? Is he real? I’ve gone crazy.
He seems so lonely. Why is Will outside in the dark? He’s basically exposing himself to Vecna by standing on the rooftop. He needs to shelter. It seems they’re doing a lot of night shoots these days
For some reason,I want a brief scene in s5 where Mike is GENUINELY TERRIFIED of possessed Will bc this time, he can’t trust him,can’t predict what he’s capable of…but then he sees a glimpse in his eyes,of the Will he always knew & from then on,nothing else matters but saving him
This scene REALLY foreshadows & sets the DARK TONE for s5; Dustin looking up in strong apprehension, his look STARKLY DIFF to everyone else bc only he knows what’s to come & the truth.I’m excited to see Gaten’s intense/sad acting; They intentionally set HIS scene in DARK lighting
Someone pls tell me which movie in the past Finn had fake BLOOD in his MOUTH?‼️I can’t recall so could this be a SPOILER for MIKE in s5? It also seems he was going to spoil further when the lady said “gruesome stuff” as he said “there’s a lo—“but stopped himself with a sus face👀
I still can’t get over the fact they literally showed us s5 Will with headphones and a walkman...
I bet it was Lucas or Dustin that urged him to carry them even tho they had limited success with Max. Things must be getting real serious
And when they they have to SEDATE a distressed Will in s5, bc he’s either in such EXCRUCIATING pain, or his possession is JEOPARDISING EVERYONE, then what?
Now that Will’s connection w/ the mindflayer is stronger than EVER after returning to Hawkins for s5…I’m scared 💔
The angle, the HAND SHAPE…identical…The mind flayer could’ve tried to jab Max or El but not this time.
I’m THIS CLOSE to packing up my suitcase & belongings before s5 hits. As a Mike stan, I can’t survive this.
Is it time we all cry & die now?
Thank goodness Will is eating all his food & not starving himself due to his visions making him unwell. Good boy Will (Or maybe the madness doesn’t start until after this scene) anyways Will u need that energy to conquer Hawkins soon okay? Pls eat well <3
The “RUNNNN!” is soooo INTENSE! Just like Will screaming “GO AWAYY!” But more guttural and hoarse and deep and arghhh! I just know the acting is LEVELLED UP FOR s5! I knew it would be good!
Will in s5 going thru an upgraded combo of a vision/vecna’d from his connection w/ Vecna strengthening
He moves normal,eyes are OPEN but he sees ONLY HORROR as he stands irl, the unreal & real merges.NOTHING is distinguishable for him;Vecna’s progression to taking over him fully
Just opened sttwt with bychance chaos. Let’s get real. This is an apocalypse. Will will be preoccupied with Vecna acting all sus & reserved. Chance knows NOTHING on the truth of Vecna & Will’s past. Will won’t be acting normal this season. Only Mike knows this & how to handle it
People say “he looks like he died and woke up.” What if they filmed a scene where someone visions him dead? Like Mike sees him dead in a vecna vision? Will’s condition looks a lot like young Will in the UD. Is Vecna going to show Mike, Joyce or Jonathan smth this tragic?
It’s interesting how the LAST TIME Henry existed in the outside world was as a CHILD. He never left HNL b4 becoming vecna so Holly’s the FIRST to SEE him THIS AGE & condition; MIGHT be an ISSUE bc she’ll describe a tall blonde man & NOBODY (even Nancy)but EL, knows WHO she saw😬+
WHY DID I NOT NOTICE THIS?!! Esp the painting in the shootout & ‘SNACK’? WOAH GUYS WE’RE GETTING BYLER UNDERWATER ANGST‼️I NEED a drowning & rescue scene lol
While we know Will’s always in between shots of Mileven, let’s talk about how the Duffers made Mike ALWAYS just watch every time Will hugged EVERYONE but HIM?
He must be thinking about the missed chance he had at the airport 😖 I need him to sob in Will’s arms in s5
And when Karen dies early in s5 right IN FRONT of Mike & Nancy & we get a parallel to Max witnessing Billy jabbed by the MF…
Will watching in agony from the side as he’s crushed by the consequences of his connection with the UD (he unconsciously caused her death)
Throw back to these MAJOR snippets of S5 scenes. There’s not a single week where I don’t think about these gems. Steve & Jonathan scenes ep1 & car mania, ep4 👀 Who’s driving that car & r they being chased? Why’s the whole flipping car falling? Also incredibly worried about Mike
OK WTH. Someone save ME but save Will first. VECNA STAY AWAY FROM HIM. MF STAY AWAY FROM HIM. WILL don’t take a step further into those woods. Where is everybody else?! I swear if he’s going through this alone, in his mind…please get out of those visions. Hoping it’s only a gate
Bringing back this leak bc I’m really hoping that EXACT CUT is used in the show. It would be sad if it wasn’t bc that was the most perfect scream & I wanna SEE Will’s face at that moment. So when we’re watching we can think back ‘so THIS is what went on beyond that vast field!’
Reminder that we’re gonna see the other side & truth to this moment in s5: I hope they show young Will communicating w/ Joyce in the UD
The way she caresses the lights like it’s Will & the “no” for “are you safe?” is sending me uncontrollably sobbing rn
I’m lil confused.If we’re hoping Will’s choking a party member while possessed,let’s hope they were practicing out of order;it’s odd if he’s grabbing them & THEN screaming like he still wants to protect everyone?So it might be an enemy he’s grabbing non-possessed(less exciting)😅
I’m sorry but if Mike was with them here & saw Joyce enraged, willing to increase Will’s pain to save him, Mike & Joyce would’ve lowkey been ENEMIES by now lol. I think a Hopper/Mike fight part 2 would’ve erupted. Will’s pain is serious for Mike 🤧
The church has a RED door.The colour coding to the entrance of this building is so purposeful; what LIES BEYOND that door is pure DANGER (obv) Will’s gonna go through hell…oh save everyone
🚨🆘🩸⛑️🪫🚩🔻🪓🕹️👹🧯🛡️
The entire church post cgi & vfx is gonna be the death of me…
That crane is GIGANTIC!
Apparently this big of a crane has never been spotted on other ST sets b4 👀 This church set really is getting bigger & bigger & more insane…& I’M going insane
HOLLY & DEREK at downtown Hawkins W/THE CREATURE STUNT?? Now Karen really IS in TROUBLE…no way she let those CHILDREN roam those streets w/ demos on the loose?! First Holly supervised just by byler, now this?! Sheesh
Also rip to Holly’s colourful outfits 💔
Sorry I’ll never shut up about this s5 Will screaming. Lives were changed (Specifically mine) I have that audio ENGRAINED in my memory, down to EVERY DECIBEL & SYLLABLE. Come at me if u must do soo
“He doesn’t play by the rules!”
As Jimmy says this, Shawn’s smiling knowing his s5 directorial plans will break the internet like the s5 byler rain fight he promised
Don’t forget this is the man that directed “Dear Billy.”So we know his potential. ONLY U CAN MAKE HISTORY FOR US
ik military plot is boring but just smth about this being the closest peak of downtown we have yet, which noah said is his fav: The rapid flickering lights outside & the intense, strong BEAMING light INSIDE the main building…bc what if the mains are in there??
Churchgate byler confession;
There’s not much time left,Vecna’s taking over Will ENTIRELY.He’s scared he’ll never be the same again:”It’s too late, he’s got me.”Mike remembering all the times he’s pulled Will out of it “No I’ve done it b4, I can do it again.”Mike says ily first+
Breaking my silence…
I actually like this scene of Stancy…Pls tell me i’m not the only one. It’s just smth about Steve so worried & panicked (we’ve never seen him like this b4) & then catching her while she falls to the ground trembling 😖
Why am I just noticing the bombastic side eye Lucas gave Mike after their hug? He looked at El and then back at Mike with that stare. He’s like “smth is off.” This was surely purposeful. I wonder what the directors said to Caleb lol. Mike you’re gonna get Lucas’d soon…
Imagine Will screams like this AT MIKE to “Go away!” bc he’s having a vision/vecna’d in a way he looks & moves normally irl but was actually seeing Vecna the whole time…Irl, Mike is facing Will screaming, eyes open but Will doesn’t see Mike who’s bawling, trying to calm him down
Why didn’t I pay more attention to this?! Will couldn’t wait for El & Mike to finish talking,so he did a lil skip towards them, barging next to El before she could even RESPOND to Mike. Mind you, his hands were SHAKING earlier. I had to take 5 deep breaths bc of this. My poor guy
Joyce & a supposed Hopper photodouble has been spotted ‼️ This is most likely the same road in front of the mansion. That is, if this location/ building is the mansion 👀 I see Steve’s car as well. That’s the only thing I’m sure of.
I better be trippin. I better be seeing things. It better be the lighting because I can’t be the only one seeing a bruise near his eye. Though it’s minor, it’s not okay. Someone punched him, someone ran him into a wall, someone hates his guts. Who hurt my boy?!
Guys what If Joyce is rushing to the mansion in the van after hearing smth bad happened to Will over there?! She seems very determined in this pic. Protective mother here we goo 💪
i was so tempted to make a mega s5 mike collage. this had to be done. this is my contribution to society. he’s SO ANGSTY & serious this season <3 — ❤️🩹 ily mike, you’ll do great in s5. just….um….don’t die ye?
Surely they knew that we knew about the chocking scene b4 this vid? They knew we’d catch on IMMEDIATELY from the “grab them by the throat” if we saw this. OR they’re laughing at us rn bc the scene is VERY diff & they’re FUELLING OUR FANTASY so we don’t figure the bigger reality…
I NEED to see Finn’s face now. If he was just looking in shock, taken aback at this boy breaking down in front of him, this is a callback to s3 rain fight. But if he was also bawling…this had to be them goofing around OR smth more serious lol
And if this really IS Will going all spider-man “kablooey” in the middle of this dark UD forest out of nowhere…we gon get a parallel to Vecna throwing El into his red mind lair YAYY!And then Will gets choked & vecnad for good there just like Max. Boom I just predicted his fate‼️
Still in shock that we’ll see more to this scene in s5 with smth similar as the opening…I SERIOUSLY can’t even handle 2 seconds of this 💔 He even had a TEDDY BEAR by his side 🧸
The sigh of relief when there was no Finn to be seen on that DANGEROUS church set only to realise,SOME church scenes w/the teens could be earlier eps. So Meanwhile Mike’s getting his HOUSE OBLITERATED by who knows what,finding out Holly just talked to HENRY & witnessing Karen die
“Gunshots, (military?) running down the hallway, the door closes behind us, we made it, celebration.The camera pans over & it’s me (Dustin) “guys…”The blood reveal all over his shirt. I’ve been hit”
Gaten. WHAT are U TRYING TO SAY from the s5 basement the Suffers locked u in?🤨

What’s everyone’s opinion on most shocking stranger things cliffhangers?
The following shots are my top picks! How dare they end the episodes like this?!
Challenge for the st5 editors: beat these…
I’m still here if you even care. haven’t moved on & I don’t plan on doing so bc wdym I’m seeing s5 possessed Will in PROGRESS ON MY SCREEN ALREADY?…and I can replay & go back to this as many times as I want?! No wayyy. Someone slap me awake rn
Just saw a CRAZY thought on the “U need to run” leak by br0oklynxbaby on tt:Remember when Will made Joyce’s lights spell “RUN”?What if older Will is trapped in that moment & we see his pov. Only this time,the memory is manipulated.He sees smth bigger than a demo going to kill her
ONE MENTION in s5 of Will putting himself in danger to save his bro or vice versa, Jonathan thinking he deserves to die bc he’s the reason Will went missing & at the core of this escalated Vecna mess, & that’s my CUE to sleep on the highway
DON’T MESS with my Byer bros Duffers‼️
Byler height difference LOUD & CLEAR‼️
Honestly it’s all a lil trippy bc I thought my screenshot of byler walking in the school halls was the moment when both their shoes were as flat as possible? Now that they’re not walking or moving, standing still side by side, ITS SO DIFF?!
I’m genuinely intrigued by this scene.This goes to show the insane MOBILITY capabilities of UD creatures;Jumping, speed & climbing is their forte!
If grown adults struggle,including Steve & teens, I don’t wanna imagine our s5 party w/several diff creatures in a vicinity at once
We’ve secured a Nancy/Vecna and Holly/Henry interaction, so it’s only right & fair that Mike is confronted by Vecna/Henry too
I have a feeling s5 ep6 or ep7 will do that justice! So Shawn & Duffer bros…
“whatever it is…whatever you do…try not to miss.”
The fact they’re prioritising nailing those CHARACTER CLOSURES for our mains over anything else made me suddenly so excited to see the DEPTH, DETAIL & EMOTION prepared. We know they’re also upping the game with vfx, complex action sequences & set pieces so s5 will be invincible!
Sorry for talking about byler being bones. I just had to 💔
Imagine Will jumps into an unknown dimension & Mike goes after him. Both die from the impact of the fall & that’s how vol 1 ends…
(We don’t find out it was a vision until vol 2)

“I can still remember what he thinks & HOW HE THINKS & he’s not going to STOP”
This has me SO STRESSED rn.They did not just foreshadow s5 as Vecna never leaving Will’s mind. It should be Byler glued tgt every scene not VECNA & WILL(Actually Vecna do whatever u want w/ Will LOL)
