There's a rumor (or wild unhinged speculation) that the finale of Stranger Things wasn't ACTUALLY the finale, and it's a fake ending where everyone is just stuck inside Vecna's mind still. Do you believe that X is a lie? Or that Karen Wheeler's scars are actually gone? Some people think S5, Episode 9 is on its way!

A northerner from England, Iain is passionate about all things film, TV, and video games (he has an obsession with popping them trophies in PlayStation games). When not consuming pop culture, Iain can be found drawing on MS Paint, learning Mandarin, watching football (soccer), or at pub quizzes. Mostly the pub thing, although he actually has not drunk a drop of alcohol since a messy Christmas Eve over a decade ago...
In one sense, this would be the most incredible TV stunt in the last 50 years. But on the other hand, this isn't going to happen, and it's sad that a TV show finale disappointed so many people that they want so badly a different version of it to air weeks later, and are finding random production mistakes and coincidences to make their theory believable. Crazy stuff.

Do the Upside Down’s monsters live up to the tabletop hype? I’m dusting off the Monster Manual to pit the show’s villains against their original lore. Are they a Total Party Kill or just a low-level encounter?
