it's no secret that stranger things is one of Netflix's most popular shows and
season three is one of the more highly anticipated releases of 2019 with a
strong cast sharp story and a group of lovable misfits ala every 80s throwback
ever stranger things proves time and again that retro will always be cool
reformed eighties bullies challenging stereotypes old-school childhood sci fi
adventurer's they've done all that there is to do but still keep the surprises
rolling in with season 3 right around the corner there's a lot to look forward
to for example we see that the Hawkins mall is going to play a seemingly
pivotal role in the story Hawkins is taking another step into the future with
the brand-new star court mall just to make the show even more 80s nobody hangs
out in malls anymore but more importantly we're talking about the mall
being a potential minefield for trouble all things upside down and more
what's the gang going to run into on this new battlefield and for that matter
what's going on with the gang in general if you can't seem to scratch that
speculative itch don't worry we've got you covered and we expect season 3 to be
the darkest season yet so much so that we've compiled the darkest theories
about stranger things season 3 that we think might be true let's get started
you know I despise Dig Dug the death of a main character let's state some facts
hopper is the only character apart from will and 11 who's been in the upside
down twice nothing's happened to him so far but who knows what's in store for
him next as far as television goes it's not
unusual for a main character to kick the bucket at around this point in a story
to propel the story into a new darker direction and some believe that that
character in this case will be hopper and look we get it we love the guy too
but as reddit user under Guardian rightfully pointed out the show is about
11 each season we watch her discover something new about herself and
eventually experiencing life outside of the lab and finally as
copper's adopted daughter when is soon soon is when it's not dangerous anymore
the one thing that we can expect for sure from season three is more of a
father/daughter dynamic between the two deepening their relationship you just
graduated from no TV for a month to no TV however with all of this buildup his
death would be the perfect catalyst for Elle maxing out her rage and pushing her
over the tipping point cuz you're a brat avenging a father figure she's grown to
love could fuel her telekinetic abilities further to defeat the mind
flare who has been presenting itself as a keen antagonist for this season
Hopper's daughter was a test subject we know that this one sounds like a doozy
but hear us out in this one shot in season two when the group are stuck at
the Hawkins hospital there's a scene with a staircase yeah not super
convincing yet but get this maybe this was a lazy production which i think is
highly unlikely or it could have been an important plants definitely but this was
the same staircase we saw hopper crying next to during the flashback about his
daughter's death in season one now it's never really been clarified so we don't
know how exactly she died was it a medical condition that killed her the
wide assumption is for obvious reasons cancer due to the hair loss but what if
she was actually the subject to horrible experiments at Hawkins lab Sara hopper
may have visited Hawkins lab in order to get some experimental drug therapy an
effort to combat her illness where well the same psychoactive drugs used to
subdue Elevens mom could have been administered to Sara while she was in
the hospital without her father's knowledge what do you think Terry Ives
might be alive in upside-down remember Terry Ives blonde catatonic Elevens mom
mom not from the moment we mirror when eleven finds her in the upside down it's
weird isn't it it's almost as if she was more lucid than we've ever seen her
before while down there
like her usual locked-in state she grabbed her daughter's hand the moment
that she saw her very clearly stating no no after their connection in a very
telepathic moment between mother and child we see Terry's nose bleed just
like 11s and eights after they use their powers coincidence
I think not the mere fact that she was able to show 11 what happened to her
through that fine ability is indicative of the fact that Terry's consciousness
is more powerful in the upside down and like her daughter she has the
supernatural abilities to match will we get to see more of it come season 3 we
hope so 11 at full power is actually bad news 11 has become an incredibly
powerful character in stranger things at this point we're used to seeing her
execute her powers alongside a few other things her crush on Mike being one and
her regular nosebleeds being the other more important one Elevens nosebleeds
have become a very common sight especially so deep into her story but
what if it's a sign of something far worse like internal bleeding perhaps
it's pretty obvious that despite how powerful she is every time that she does
use her powers it exerts some crazy amounts of strain onto her body she's a
child after all I mean if that wasn't the case why the constant nosebleeds I
mean 11 might be getting terribly hurt without even knowing about it and
eventually it will kill you season 3 might just be
the place she realizes that something's amiss
maybe the scare even leads to her reducing the frequency that she uses her
powers but as we know nothing stays hidden when the upside down comes
a-calling given her nature we know that we can count on her to save the town
with whatever powers that she can muster hopefully she doesn't have to sacrifice
herself heroically by using her powers one last time man there are too many
cool characters on the show that we could potentially lose mind flayer uses
eleven as a host this right here is essential information so if you've been
lazy about catching up with season 2 of stranger things stop right now
stopped yes No all right you're your own captain but don't say we didn't warn you
you've always been a favorite at the end of the season eleven confronts the most
enormous eight-legged spider monster to have walked the earth or the upside down
called the mind flayer she uses her awesome powers to seal it way back
inside the upside-down by closing the tear that separated our worlds and the
alternate dimension were the upside down resided
however in that magical powerful queen light display the mine flare was made
aware of Elevens existence I repeat the mind flare a creature that possessed his
people and uses them as puppets and spies knows about eleven a very powerful
young girl but kid with extraordinarily deadly powers definitely not a good sign
given how the show has a tendency to mess you up and ask no questions and
even worse give no answers there's something rotten in Hawkins let's talk
about our boy Dustin he took a spray to the face from one of the upside-down
tentacles in the finale much like hopper we can't imagine that
little fact just being ignored you really don't just forget about
something like that when Hopper was assaulted he was rendered unconscious
for an undetermined amount of time could it be the show setting us up for a
possession much like wills in season two or maybe it could be something even more
sinister what if the upside down is slowly rooting itself deep into the town
spreading itself into people's homes and wind pipes forcing the government to
finally take notice of something Shady and maybe quarantine the population now
imagine that as the setup for season four I'm okay not to mention the fact
that there are rats on the season three poster and one of the episode titles of
the upcoming season is mall rats could they be involved with spreading an
infection around Hawkins 11 will be plagued with flashbacks we already know
that Elevens childhood was less than stellar to say the least
she's pretty haunted and the demons aren't going to rest just because she
got to go to prom I mean if that were the case life would just be a lot more
easy anyway Elevens only just learned of the horrible horrible trials she faced
while growing up and is deeper than ever in the web of conspiracies owned by the
Hawkins lab she's even met her mother in the real world as well as the upside
down all of this is just the tip of the iceberg in some set pictures we see 11
rolling and basically freaking the heck out in the ocean at some point and
that's never a good sign to top it off her mother seems to be there with her
then again we have no confirmation this might just
be a flashback that in turn stresses out her body and causes a nosebleed
therefore making her weak enough to be invaded by the mind flare no but I
digress anyway what do you think these are our favorite dark theories that have
been floating around about stranger things season 3 but do you have any
interesting theories of your own let us know in the comments section below and
for that matter what character do you think is in the most danger for season 3
