These Stranger Things Theories Will Piss You Off (As They Did Every Fan)

Recently, however, several suggestions have been circulating that have caused a great deal of controversy among viewers.

Of course, a very unpopular theory is El's death. Many people believe that she may be trapped in the Upside Down permanently to keep the forces of darkness at bay.

Another speculation has to do with a complete reboot of the world as things return to normal. No one will remember 011, and the alcoholic version of Hopper and the idiot side of Steve will return.

Much of the unpopular speculation is about family matters. Some fans think Vecna might be Will's or El's father, or Brenner might be Vecna's dad.

Some don't like the time travel story that was hinted at in season 4 when Nancy found herself in her house reading a diary with no new notes.

Another theory with the same effect on viewers is that all the characters in the show are actually dead and trapped in some kind of purgatory. This assumption is based on a number of different clues and hints.

For example, some fans have pointed out that the show is filled with references to the afterlife, including numerous scenes set in haunted places and paranormal realms.

But perhaps the most unpopular theory is that it was all one big batch of DnD that Mike came up with. Sure, it would be an M. Night Shyamalan-style twist, but there's no denying the show leans heavily on board game mythology.

Though the Duffer Brothers will be able to bring beloved characters back to life in this way. But fans are not happy with it, thinking it would be the laziest way to end the iconic series.

We don't know where these theories will lead, but they have sparked such a passionate debate among the show's fans. And now the Duffer Brothers should think hard before the denouement.

The long-awaited finale is expected to be released in 2024 or 2025. Fans are hoping that season 5 will manage to surprise and deliver a stunning conclusion.
