Ok so Stranger Things 4 Volume 2 takes things to the Max with a big ending that sees several
characters dying.
This includes Dr. Brenner, Eddie and Max who we dies during the battle with Vecna.
Now though she's brought back, Max is left a little worse for wear and come the conclusion
she's in a non responsive coma.
The finale sees Max using herself as bait in order to draw Vecna out so that Steve,
Nancy and Maya can go to his body and burn him alive whilst he's distracted.
This works as well with them getting the drop on him whilst he's fighting Eleven and Max.
Unfortunately though he gets most of the way through his ritualistic murder and he not
only blinds Max but he also breaks several of her bones, killing her in the process.
Eleven reaches out to her mind and she manages to revive her but it is possible that she
should've let her sadie sink, ey into the void.
Using their good memories she pulls her back from the brink but she may be harbouring something
much worse in Vecna.
Now throughout this video we're gonna be going through our theories on what's going on with
her, how Vecna may be alive and a lot more.
If you have your own theories then make sure you leave them below and also don't forget
to subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, thanks for clicking this, now let's get into our big Stranger
Things 4.
Now the final fifteen minutes of Volume 2 has Eleven not only visiting Max in the hospital
but she also attempts to reach out to her through the void.
We find Max in a non-responsive coma and thus El tries to get through to her on the psychic
plane to see if she can pull her back that way.
However this is completely devoid of any life or signs that Max is there and this could
be because she's technically brain dead.
This is reflected in what Lucas says too.
-
Clinically she died and came back but her consciouness didn't.
Because of this she's now an empty vessel and it is possible that Vecna also now exists
in her mind, using her as a way to continue living.
In the Season Finale he ended up falling out of the Kreel house on fire but when Steve
and the gang went to check to see if his body was there he'd got out of it like Nancy did
her relationship when sexy Steve smiled at her.
Gaaadamn.
Though his was destroyed in the physical sense, Will confirms that he's still out there and
we see this reflected in the environment.
Not only is the doorway to hell starting to bleed the upside down into Hawkins but there
also exists a black cloud off in the distance that slightly resembles the Mind Flayer.
As a child, young Henry Creel used to be fascinated with Spiders and he drew the shape that would
go on to terrorise Hawkins.
This was clearly how he viewed himself as being and upon going to the Upside down and
coming across the shadow particles he said the following.
-
So it makes sense that if his physical body was to be destroyed that he'd then take on
something that looked more like the Mind Flayer for his final form.
However, I don't think that he is this cloud perse, it's more just a warning of what's
to come.
To me Vecna is licking his wounds and he's hiding out in Max, recovering along with her.
The series so far has also hinted at how this is possible at several points.
Firstly there is of course Will who in Season 2 was infected with Shadow Particles and this
created a symbiosis between him and Vecna that he still feels to this day.
He didn't fully take over the character but he was very much a parasite within him similar
to what I believe he's doing with Max.
There's also the fact that Max's mind was used as the battleground between him and Eleven.
It's a bit confusing as to how it all plays out but basically Max goes to the Creel house
and then she draws out Vecna who from his hiding place then pshycically enters her mind.
Using a Little Nina and The Boys, Eleven is then able to also project herself out there
so that the pair can battle it out in Max's brain.
Now, having access to this due to being one of his victims means that Vecna can technically
come and go as he pleases.
Throughout the first volume we watched as those he stalked ended up seeing vivid visions
of him before he eventually launched his final attack.
During this time he'd retreat back to his body but if he no longer had this to go back
to he'd likely have to hide out in Max.
I believe that he's actually somewhat feeding off Eleven though she might be completely
unaware of it.
In the final few scenes we see Eleven spinning a coca cola bottle and inbetween it get flashes
of her time at Max's bedside when she reached into her mind.
Coca cola is something that's popped up throughout the series and at several points this infamous
drink has been used to show Eleven's abilities.
I think the way that this edit is carried out and the order of the scenes could hint
towards what's going on and why Vecna is using her.
For example we get the coca cola scene, a quick cut to Eleven reaching out to Max, Hoppers
return and then the dark cloud coming in.
The way the sequence is set up makes it seem like it's all connected and how Vecna may
end up using Eleven as a way to power himself due to their ties.
For example, Love is something that definitely empowers Eleven and having Hoppers and Joyce's
return could've added the slight boost that Vecna needed to then push the Upside Down
out.
The chill that Will gets on the back of his neck comes immediately after this and though
I might be reaching, it does seem like these moments are played out like this for a specific
reason.
Now Max being lost in the void could also come back around and potentially she may be
the key to stopping Vecna as well.
Bringing her back from the brink and having the pair fight in her mind for who gets control
over her body would be a big battle and something that could end up being the way that the series
progresses.
I can actually see Eleven possibly venturing back into Max's mind and she'll start to explore
the darkness within it until she comes across Vecna who will have Max as his hostage.
The pair might potentially fight it out there and then Eleven could end up winning which
would free Max and allow her to come back.
This might then lead Vecna into going off into another one of his potential puppets,
aka Will.
Will early on was introduced as a character who had massive ties to the Upside Down and
though Max took a lot of focus in the fourth season, when we're talking human characters
that Vecna has his sights on, he'd definitely be higher up than her.
Because he can still feel Vecna I think that he'd be another possible Vessel that Vecna
could end up fleeing into.
If we look at the origins of the name Vecna, we of course know that it comes from Dungeons
and Dragons.
This powerful wizard has several abilities that also include possession, explaining how
he could potentially take over the future characters.
Now there's also the fact that we know shadow particles exist out in Russia that he may
end up attempting to get access to.
Though Murray bust the flamethrower to take out the Demogorgass I don't believe that the
shadow particles themselves were destroyed and we lingered on them enough for me to believe
that they'll be brought back in some form or another.
Now it is a long trip for them to fly to Hawkins so this might have just been used as a way
to explain the Shadow Particles before we learned that Vecna manipulated them in order
to attack Hawkins.
So this could have just been a way to hint the final reveal before we got it but let
me know below what you think.
Now I think that the other members of the group could end up becoming Vecna's victims
and that once he's back to full power he'll find away to hunt the heroes of Hawkins once
more,
Who he's after is anyones guess but Dustin does fit the profile of one of the people
he'd target.
Through Max we discovered that those he goes after tend to have faced some form of trauma
and they harbour feelings of guilt that make them easy to manipulate.
This could be seen in Dustin who could end up feeling guilty over the fact that Eddie
died to save him.
This is of course also mirrored in Max who felt like she was responisble for Billy's
passing.
Dustin could share this too as Eddie was getting away but he turned around to face the bats
out of hell which left him gone when the morning co..fuc....who writes this garbage.
Anyway you get the point with that and I definitely feel that out of them all that he's probably
the one who'll be sought after next.
It really makes me wonder if they'll actually kill some of the core cast next season as
they currently seem to playing it slightly safe when it comes to the ones they kill off.
Sure Eddie was a big death but he and Jason feel like they were created just for this
season so that they could be killed off.
Now that Brenner is dead I also hope that Dr. Owens comes back as well to somewhat mentor
Eleven and take her to the next level.
He's also a character that we don't relaly know what happened to and it's unlikely that
the military will still trust him.
He did however plead with the army to bring in El alive and perhaps after seeing the chopper
downed they'll realise that trying to assassinate her isn't the best way to go about it.
Not really connected to the original theory on this video but I just thought I'd throw
it in there so you get a bit of extra bang for your buck on the video.
