Who will die in this final season? What shocking truths will the show reveal? There are a lot of big<em> Stranger Things 5<\/em> questions that need answers, but the theories certainly outnumber those inquiries. People get very, very passionate and often weird when it comes to twisting up thoughts about characters and narrative arcs. While we cannot find nor discuss every single <em>Stranger Things 5<\/em> theory on the internet, here are a few of the wildest ones that we\u2019ve seen recently.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>The Real Will Is Still in Upside Down\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This <em>Stranger Things 5 <\/em>theory is certainly something. The idea is that the Will we\u2019ve been seeing for seasons is not actually Will at all but a clone created by Vecna. We know that there\u2019s an unsettling link between Will and Vecna, but it seems that we would\u2019ve gotten breadcrumbs about this before now. Will hasn\u2019t really done anything that would suggest that he\u2019s sabotaging the group\u2019s efforts until this point. His character seems to be pretty consistent with who we\u2019ve always been and his fear is palpable. And, a reveal like that would just cheapen all of the character development that we\u2019ve seen for Will over the years.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Erica Will Defeat Vecna\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Stranger Things 5 Erica\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"541\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/oBiW9v_nquI78erIIaQELQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/nerdist_761\/ea69467ba6f8670ffb6986d1547eb34b\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">More than one Facebook fan club and X (formerly Twitter) user think that last season gave us a big hint about who will be the ultimate hero in <em>Stranger Things 5<\/em>. In season four\u2019s first episode, Dustin and Erica are the two who are there to defeat Vecna during the big campaign. Dustin rolls and loses but Erica rolls and wins. Does that possibly mean that Erica will ultimately defeat Vecna in the final season? It is not totally impossible. She may not have powers like Eleven, but Erica is not someone to trifle with.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Everyone Is in a Psychiatric Hospital\u2026 Or Playing a <em>D&amp;D <\/em>Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"new stranger things 5 images bts lucas and robin\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/X0QgOAaPM_tYdUDNPdGu_Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/nerdist_761\/6a7ad2c736d77b0805f6a6ce786fdaad\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We have to say it. The psychiatric hospital idea is not a good theory at all for many, many reasons. First, suggesting that all of this is in all the minds of people who are dealing with mental health diagnoses feels quite gross. It is also not effective storytelling and would completely ruin what the show has built thus far. The theory that this is all just one big <em>D&amp;D<\/em> game isn\u2019t problematic like the first one, but it would still be a disappointing ending.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Eleven Will Defeat Vecna in <em>Stranger Things 5 <\/em>and Erase Everyone\u2019s Memories of Her and the Upside Down<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Stranger things 5 trailer eleven (1)\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"541\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/dCshkITu_MMG9i.41ef.UA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/nerdist_761\/118fe020570ec9f422ce394bcf5a23b0\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One <em>Stranger Things 5<\/em> theory that is circulating is that Eleven will defeat Vecna and somehow reset everyone\u2019s memories of what happened. Perhaps that is the only way that Vecna and the Upside Down can finally lose all its power. She does seem to have a level up in her powers and maybe this will include being able to mass erase memories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It feels very <em>Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em>, but not good at all. Eleven would lose everyone she loves essentially and have to watch them live from afar. One Redditor notes that the Duffers said they drew inspiration from <em>Eternal Sunshine<\/em>, which has an ending that\u2019s similar.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\"><strong>Eleven and Will Are Twins Separated at Birth\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Wil screaming in fear on Stranger Things 5 wild theories\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"541\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/6aEef0hqkBYv7picTvZkVg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/nerdist_761\/d5b1e91b7090317378d692810e4402b9\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This theory is quite interesting but also convoluted.

Mama didn\u2019t know it but she was actually carrying twins \u2014 Jane and Will \u2014 but in her drugged up state during the c-section she only saw Jane crying. Brenner did a test on the newborns and decided only Jane had Powers so put Will up for adoption. He was adopted by Joyce to cover for her own miscarriage in her troubled marriage. So Jane and Will have been fraternal twins all along and Will has had subtle powers like the ability to hide, which is part of what compelled Henry\/One\/Vecna to find him. Will is going to discover his powers when Jonathan is killed in front of him in a self-sacrificial move. Will and Eleven will join hands and combo power strike to strip Vecna of his vines and remove his powers, leaving him weak and vulnerable. He ends up blind and in the same cell next to his father. Eleven starts training Will in telekinesis, leading to the spin-off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Yes, please take a moment to absorb all of that. In a sense, the idea of Will having sleeper powers that will get active makes some sense. It could explain his continuous connection to the Upside Down\/Mind Flayer and explain why Vecna chose to not kill him. But, we actually like the idea that the entire thing with Will wasn\u2019t some premeditated thing by Vecna\/Henry. Can he not just be a strange, nerdy kid with a propensity to connect to Upside Down things? This <em>Stranger Things 5<\/em> theory makes some sense but it gets a little too chaotic at the end. Vecna must die.
