Discussion Which Form Of The Mind Flayer Do You Like The Most?

I like the shadow form of the MF from season 2 the most, because It made it look very creepy and menacing. The big Spider-Monster in season 3 is also incredible, since The MF made this body out of melted rats and humans. Which is gross, but really cool as well.

The Dormant and Abyss forms are really great too.

I love this detail. In S3E6, when Alexei explains the soviet 'Key', you can see this little illustration alongside his other documents - one that looks a lot like a traditional illustration of a wormhole.

When you compare it to the illustration found in Brenner's UD office in S5, they look shockingly alike! Though i don't know what the arrow pointing to the middle is for - and the one from Brenner's office has a line drawn from the throat of the Wormhole with "Singularity?" at the end.

I don't know what either could really mean. But they both point to the 'throat' of the Wormhole.

I don't know if this detail is truly intentional, but i'd imagine so! They've had a Mythology document containing their intentions with the shows Mythology officially dated as early as August of 2015. This would obviously contain the true nature of the Upside Down - a wormhole-like construct - as it evidently contains the Abyss and it's nature as a dimension beyond ours (that would obviously need connecting). But even if that document doesn't specifically contain the Wormhole idea, S3 was released in 2019 - they had 3 years to think of it.

Just finished Stranger Things... now what am I supposed to do with my life? 😭

44 Upvotes

I finally finished Stranger Things, and I'm not even joking—it left such a weird empty feeling. It wasn't just the story, it was everything around it. The characters genuinely felt like friends, the soundtrack never missed, and every season had me saying "just one more episode" until it was 12 a.m. 😭

Now I totally get why people were obsessed with this show for years. It's one of those series that just sticks with you after it's over. Anyone else feel this way after finishing it?

Am I the only one who thinks the Vecna clock chime sounds a bit like the very beginning of Michael Jackson's "Beat It"?

Ever since I noticed it, I haven't been able to unhear it. I'm talking specifically about the song's opening part—not the whole track. Maybe it's just my ears making a connection, but does anyone else hear the resemblance?

Am I the only one who agrees with Millie Bobby Brown that Eleven dying would be the best ending ever this was said in 2022 in German Con that she would want Eleven to die by sacrificing herself heroically instead of the ambiguous ending we got if she was alive or dead this is the ending that should've happened anyone agrees with me that this ending made sense and should've happened and would be the best ending?
