Stranger Things Keeps Getting Stranger

Stranger things has become a cult classic over the past few years first with how it captivated audiences with its amazing retro style and then also with its spooky next worldly twists. Each season since the first has built upon this franchise and each has take us deeper and deeper into the world and lore of stranger things. From the looks of it season four will be no different considering that the trailer alone has so many nuggets of information.

Foremost lets address the elephant in the room hopper is still alive. Even though the fandom was more than sure they had died. But that being said Hopper is not in the most ideal of circumstances, currently being taken captive by the Russians. This just goes to show how out of left field stranger things can be and really makes you wonder about what other little secrets are going to be revealed once the whole season hits Netflix this year. Hopper also has a completely knew look with their head shaved and he looks a lot more menacing especially with that flame thrower one can only assume the sort of trouble he will get up to.

Fans probably saw this next revelation coming but it seems as though eleven has lost her powers. In the last season as it was ending she did seem to have lost her powers or at least had difficulty try to use them. This is a very sad turn of affairs because eleven’s telekinetic powers tied in so well with her personality and made her such an important strong female character in the franchise. The way you come to this assumption makes you feel even worse for eleven as this comes from the scene where 2 probably government suits, escorting her away from something. The old eleven wouldn’t let them dare. She is also looking at something with a rather concerned expression so who knows maybe there is even more to learn about this character come season 4.

What might help understand this scene is another scene hinted towards later in the trailer where a seemingly younger eleven is in a sort of jailed facility. Could this be where she was experimented on and got her powers? There is always a possibility what is definitely certain is that season 4 is a must watch if only for elevens back story as she has been such a secretive character in the franchise so far.

Things are also getting spookier as not only, is there a scene with a large grandfather clock showed is shown ticking down in what can only be a boarded up attic. We also have the gang exploring an old spooky house which is shown by a snippet of Nancy Wheeler walking through it with a large scary figure following her. You would think they would have learnt their lesson by now, but apparently not and honestly we are glad because it makes for great entertainment. These suspicions are especially confirmed when these scenes are put with the scene from the trailer where the entire gang is staring at something ominously. It can only mean one thing stuff is about to go down.

What makes it even more interesting is that, through the cheering scene we can conclude that the people of Hawkens have no idea what’s going or is going to happen. Even though every other scene of the trailer shows complete and utter pandemonium. With burning cars on the streets and odd silhouettes of people watching them eerily, one can only imagine. Something bad is coming.

Seasons four also seems to be appealing to some form of nostalgia factor. Showing a lot of seasons that seem like overlays with stuff you have seen in season one. Its nothing to complain about it is just very interesting to see things come full circle and also shows how everything is really just connected in the Stranger Things universe. These scenes are namely the scene where you see a dungeons and dragons board and dice being rolled on it. Consider that dungeons and dragons is very much how stranger things sort of started its interesting to see it make a comeback. The second scene which may send shivers down your spine is the bikes returning, the iconic scenes from season one where the entire gang rides down their bikes on an empty road at night is brought back but this time, where are they going? Time will tell.

All in all season 4 seems to be a hoot and a half. Something that will have you at the edge of you seat the entire time an will leave you mentally exhausted at the end because of all the cliff hangers it might just solve. It is a must watch Stranger Things is a part of iconic new media and even if you have not gotten round to it or left it off after a season or two now is the time to return to it.
