What you don't Know About Stranger Things Season 4 (So Far)

The fourth season of the American science fiction horror drama television series, titled Stranger Things 4, was released worldwide exclusively via Netflix`s streaming service in two volumes, with the first set released on May 27, 2022, and the second to be released five weeks later July 1, 2022.

Here are the surprising answers to the most repeated and confusing questions from “Stranger Things 4”!

1. Connection between Vecna and Mind Flayer

Vecna is already the season's breakout star, with tens of thousands of tweets. So, who exactly is Vecna? And why is it so popular on the internet? Let's discuss it.

He's the giant, terrifying monster terrorising Hawkins. Season 4, volume 1 revealed more about the Upside Down through the main villain. What is the relationship between Vecna and the Mind Flayer?

Vecna and the Mind Flayer appear to have a link, but how close are they? The Mind Flayer and Vecna live in the Upside Down, with the latter as a vast, encompassing presence and the former in the parallel Creel home. The Mind Flayer's hive brain is made up of tendrils, vines, and monsters that may be found all around the Upside Down.

Vecna is the most humanoid monster in Stranger Things, as she is connected to the hive brain by a spider-like network of back extensions. He also can open miniature portals to the Upside Down wherever he makes a kill, which is interesting.

After being a relatively obscure enemy at first, Vecna's true motivations are gradually revealed in the second season, exposing a history interwoven with the Upside Down, Hawkins, and then extremely Eleven. Vecna grows to be far more enormous than his Dungeons & Dragons-inspired name suggests.

2. What's with that clock?

In season 4, Vecna's victims see a grandfather clock from the Creel House before they die, and this is what it means.

The grandfather clock in front of Vecna's victims has several meanings. Grandfather's Clock was one of the first components of Season 4 that fans teased (dating back to 2020). Vecna entertains his prey with a variety of sights, including grandfather clocks. Unfortunately for the Hawkins crew, this turned out to be a calling card for the fourth season's new adversary.

A standard theory is that the grandfather clock is a possible gateway to the Upside Down. In Stranger Things 4, it's seen inside the Creel House and even cracks (or entirely breaks) in the trailers, implying its more significant usage.

Considering that Vecna is a human who has been inside the Upside Down for a few decades (if not longer) and can open portals wherever he attacks his victims, it's plausible the original grandfather clock could be a gate to the Upside Down or at least an amplifier for Vecna's ability to open a gate, but that hasn't been confirmed.

3.Who will make it out of Russia?

Joyce and Murray's journey to rescue Hopper from a Russian prison was interrupted by numerous setbacks (some may claim too many), but they are finally united with Hopper.

But do they think it will be that easy? Not only will they get home, but how will they get out of this top-secret prison? Do you believe that one of them will die? (Obviously, Hopper's Russian guards have a shaky alliance, and it's probably not too far away.) We're betting Murray will at least return. In a recent interview with W Magazine's Brett Gelman, he was mentioned as the lead role in the show's fifth season.

4. Is Steve infected with something?

In Season 4 of Stranger Things, Volume 1 had a deep cut in the Upside Down that could turn the show's biggest hero into its most terrifying villain.

At the end of the appropriately titled episode “The Dive,” Steve goes through the “Watergate” and winds up in the Upside Down. That’s when the demo-bats attack him. Eventually, Nancy and Robin save him, but he gets evil. Later, we get a better look at the wound before Nancy dresses it. And it seems very Upside Down like maybe Steve has been infected with something.

5. Will Joyce and Hopper join others?

In the jam-packed full-length Stranger Things season 4 trailer, we get other glimpses at Hopper, but no reunions between him and Joyce or anyone else in Hawkins. Does he ever get to see his loved ones again?

The fate of Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) and Jim Hopper (David Harbour) in season 4 is still a mystery. Some believe that the two will join Eleven, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas in their fight against Upside Down. But some are not sure if they will make it out alive or not. What is your opinion?

6. Does Brenner know that one is alive?

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the release of Stranger Things season 4, part 2. Although the details are still sparse, one of the most burning questions on everyone's mind is whether Brenner knows that one is alive?

I think he probably does! Brenner knows that one is alive. Season 4, part 1, has been released, and Brenner is back. Some people say that he never left--that he's been in the shadows the entire time. Brenner was implanted with a chip in One's neck to track him and exert control over his abilities. Eleven snatched it off his neck. So, Brenner knew one was still alive because his estimates were off. He couldn't find him anymore, and he couldn't manage his superpower either.

7. Why did Vecna narrate the story only to Nancy?

In the latest season, we are only privy to the thoughts of one character, Nancy. This decision by the show's creators has led to a great deal of speculation, with some believing that it was done to make the audience feel closer to her and others thinking that there is a hidden meaning behind it all. I believe that Vecna chose to communicate with Nancy precisely because she was the most vulnerable person in Hawkins.

Nancy served as a proxy for the audience. Vecna wanted to tell his story, but he knew that the people wouldn't believe him if he just came out and said it. He needed someone to help get the message out there, and Nancy was the perfect person for the job. As for your opinion, that's up to you!

This summer, the hit show Stranger Things is returned for its fourth season on Netflix. Though there is still much that we keep as a surprise for you about what to expect from the new season, there are a few things that we can be sure of.
