After 29 days of waiting – or nine years, depending on how you look at it – fans got to see the continuation of the epic story come to a close. ends December 31, 2025. Although the result is getting closer, there are still many questions to be answered. Time was precisely one of the things that was most criticized about the series, and that was that the years that passed from one season to the next, along with all the subplots and universes, monsters and mysteries, made it difficult to follow the thread. However, Brothers Matt and Ross Duffer assured that everything will be clarified in the final chapter. There are only five days left until this big moment, we’ll tell you that below. Everything you need to know to say goodbye to the Upside Down.
on Wednesday December 31st at 10 p.m (Argentina time) “The End” premieres on Netflix Stranger Things. The eighth and final episode of the fifth season – and the entire story – is named after her The right side up. Although it was initially speculated that it could last around three hours, recent information suggests this may be the case would take 128 minutes.
Brothers Matt and Ross Duffer knew from the start that they wanted to close the door to the fantastic world they had created. Matt Duffer recognized it esquire The They always knew what the final scene would be.although it took a while to figure out the “finer details”: “As we were writing the final script, we handed out pages. Every time we finished ten pages, we gave them away. Not to Netflix, because they actually didn’t know what we were doing – I didn’t want any suggestions at that point. We just needed our team to know what to expect.”
One of the things that characterizes the series is the number of subplots. In addition to what happens to the groups during missions, each character has their own story and unique problems to solve, from romantic relationships to personal dilemmas, traumas, resentments, fears and disappointments. During the Volume 2 There were revelations, tremendous acts of bravery and also vulnerability, righteous killings and resurrections, key moments so that everyone was ready for the final battle.
“For us It was important that all of our characters resolve these tensions or conflicts as they entered the final battle.. That they work in harmony, be it externally with others or internally with themselves. Because, in our opinion, if the group wants to defeat this great evil, everyone must do their best and be on the same page. Therefore, it was important to resolve these tensions and conflicts. In fact, there’s one left,” Ross Duffer said diversity.
Likewise, the end of Volume 2 added new questions to the long list written over the course of the five seasons. From the discovery that the Upside Down is a wormhole between the real world and “the Abyss” to Henry Creel’s connection (Jamie Campbell Bower) with the cave where Max (Sadie Sink) hid and also the contents of the briefcase he found when he was little. In addition, there are the plans of Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), the decision of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), the influence of Kali (Linnea Berthelsen), the connection between Vecna and Will (Noah Schnapp), the fate of Holly (Nell Fisher) – one of the key characters of the season – and the resolution of the love triangle between Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Steve (Joe Keery).
While it may seem like a lot in the remaining two hours, the creative team is confident. “I would say that The brothers don’t want to leave any question unanswered. There may be literally less than a handful of things left unexplained and unresolved, because ultimately the Duffers want to please the audience. They make the program for themselves, but they also make it for our audience. That’s something I’ve always loved about them and it’s an aspect that always connects us,” he said diversity Shawn Levy, producer and director of the series.
How fascinating, exciting and complicated the world of theories is, right? They are, in a way, what keeps the stories alive. There are hundreds of them on social networks. Speaking of which Stranger Things, Some believe it was all one big game of hunters and dragons. that the protagonists started out at the beginning of the first season when they were still children. However, for others it is unlikely.
Long series usually end up dividing the audience. Some hate it and some love it, there is no middle ground. The conclusion of game of Thronesone of the most celebrated productions of recent years, met with more rejection than acceptance and remains a controversial topic to this day. In the case of Stranger ThingsThat’s what the creators had in mind when they sat down to write.
“The brothers have always talked about being successful in landing; they do it in terms of the films and the series (…) When we started talking about season five, it was non-negotiable that we would land.” Shows they loved broke their hearts and ultimately disappointed fans. They did not want, do not want and do not refuse to belong to one of these programs. “So that was extremely important to them,” Shawn Levy said. Although the final verdict is left to the audience, it is safe to assume that at least the makers know that such disappointment exists and have done everything possible to avoid it. It remains to be seen whether they succeeded or not.
At the same time, there are strong bets on Who will survive the final adventure?. Many believe that Eleven and Will are more likely – especially given the revelations in Volume 2 – and also place Steve and Holly in this group. There have been several deaths throughout the series, some more tragic than others, such as that of Bob Newey (Sean Astin) in the season two finale and that of Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) in the bottom of the fourth.
Although none of the main characters have yet lost their personal battle against the darkness, it is inevitable that one or more of them will not make it to the end. In dialogue with The timesMatt Duffer assumed that “the fifth season isn’t as violent as the fourth, but it is.” the most violent death ever“We should prepare the tissues, right?
Before the fifth season premiere, the Duffer brothers suggested fans rewatch the following four episodes to better understand the ending: from the second season four and six with the title Will the wise man And The spy and from the fourth season, seven and nine, with the title The Hawkins Lab massacre – what they attached particular importance to – and The Guest (The Piggyback).
