Happy Tuesday, my dear strangers!
This is Mrs. Strange, and on today’s episode for Stranger Universe, I will go over rumored
plot details for Stranger Things 5 that were supposedly leaked on the web.
With filming delayed and no update on when the writers strike will end, Stranger Things
fans out there took this opportunity to pass off their fan fiction as purported leaks and
spoilers.
Most of the leaks seem to be coming from the same source of information: someone simply
referred to as “James,” a burner account from Twitter keeping himself incognito.
James says he only has information about the beginning of the season.
That right there is our first big red flag that everything he said is false.
He claims to know this info from character blockings, moodboards, cast and crew comments,
and costume designs.
One of our frequent collaborators, the subreddit “Hawkins AV Club,” rounded up this list
of all of the plot details that James shared with several fans on social media.
Before I delve into this supposed spoilers for Stranger Things 5, let me clarify that
all of these are not confirmed.
For the sake of discussion, we will be labeling this plot information as rumors, but if you
want to avoid hearing about them in case some of the details are actual spoilers, then here’s
a slight spoiler warning for you.
You’ve been warned!
With all of that said, it remains to be seen if this person is a reputable source of information,
but he shared quite a lot here, and we will be going over all of it in detail.
Just sit back and enjoy.
The general plot of Stranger Things 5 picks up briefly where we left off in 1986 before
a time jump to either 1987 or 1988, taking place entirely in a post apocalyptic Hawkins.
It is said that Labyrinths and Mazes are important to the supernatural plot and the interpersonal
relationships.
They're inherently linked.
In regards to the characters, Eleven is said to have a lot of development with most of
the cast, and she becomes a badass who doesn't take anything from anyone.
She will be sharing lots of scenes with Lucas and Erica in particular.
On the other hand, we are going to see more parallels between Will Byers and Vecna.
Will is going to sympathize with Henry because, unlike Eleven, he knows how and what Henry
thinks, and he can feel him.
Vecna and Will are very similar, but the difference is Will is made stronger by love, not hate.
They will play into that duality in season 5.
Soteria, the device seen in Stranger Things 4 that was used to block Henry’s abilities
in the flashbacks, is going to be the key to saving Will.
If they want Will to be untraceable to Henry, they'll have to insert it into his neck and
it'll be painful.
Vecna not having access to Will screws up his ability to leave the Upside Down.
As for Mike, he will be dealing with a lot of guilt this season.
Mike feels stuck in a loop that keeps him from a truth he's scared to face.
While everyone's together plotting how to defeat Vecna and brainstorming how to save
Max, Mike brings up the painting El commissioned for a D&D analogy.
Will has to pull Mike aside and confess he lied about El commissioning the painting.
Mike gets angry, because he doesn't know about Will's feelings and feels embarrassed that
Will thought he was that pathetic he needed to be given a pep talk.
Immediately after their fight, we get the time skip.
If you don’t like what you are hearing so far, let me remind you all that this plot
leak is most likely fake and is probably an elaborate prank meant to stir up fan debate
and speculation, but more on that later.
It is said that both Murray and Argyle are back, but Dmitri and Yuri don't seem to be
in the beginning of the season.
Hopper has a secret from season 1 that was never addressed, but it comes back to haunt
him now in the final season.
It is said that Joyce will sustain an injury in season 5 that is reminiscent of the way
someone was injured in season 3, but it isn't critical and she'll be okay.
There will be a moment where we are led to believe that Jonathan dies but he doesn't,
like Hopper in season 3.
Other details he shared is that two of the songs set to be featured are 'Listen to Your
Heart' and 'Alone.’
And last, but not least, there will be one important death that they're nervous about
doing, because of the reception to Eddie Munson’s death in season 4.
And with that, we conclude the alleged plot details for Stranger Things 5.
The story details coming from James seem to have started a wildfire of leaks and spoilers,
with more fake leaks emphasizing on character relationships and couples more than the actual
storyline of season 5.
There may be some details here that are close to the truth, but at that point are they actual
spoilers or just good fan speculation?
I think this plot leak offers a few interesting ideas but it sounds too safe, and seems constructed
based of a fan’s interpretation of what is going to happen in season 5 based on the
events of season 4.
