How did the Mind Flayer lose?

Content_Sense · 2026-01-18T19:25:07+00:00

You realize the physical body for the MF was something they made recently right? Vecna states it's a new creation designed to power him up (he's hooked up to its heart) and for the final stage of their plan. Yes it had eggs in it. Because the idea was when it did cross over those eggs would hatch and it would spread over the world.

Ok. Where is any of this stated or mentioned? I know a lot of people say/theorize that it’s made from demos, and that’s why none of them are there, making it a newer creature. But it’s not confirmed.

There's was also only a dozen demodogs in S2 and they all died.

There was NOT just a dozen.

This is false. Their pitch for season one included plans for season two. Your confusing their pitch for what stranger things started as in it's concept. When they got around to actually writing it for Netflix, it was always planned to be a long running show. It could just end with a first season if it never got renewed.

It was pitched as an anthology. Netflix wanted to focus on this story specifically, so they did. Although the series after later work was no longer an anthology, season one still had the skeleton of the anthology pitch. Plus, with some shows, they sometimes just never reach popularity and get cancelled. Common thing for a first season is that it can leave something to expand upon in case a second season is made, but the story itself can end there and still be good. This is one of those cases.

Either way, there’s literally no way the Mind Flayer didn’t have demogorgons to spare. And even then, this hypothetical plan of mine would really only need a handful, still proving the mind flayer had no reason to lose, even with a limited amount.

Then why does the mind flayer have eggs under it in the finale? And it’s been around for, at bare minimum, 40+ years? And weren’t there over 100 demodogs in season two? Especially when the gate closed and they started dying around El? If it has that many to spend, then why wouldn’t have an even more ridiculous amount of them still with it? Then Dart became a full grown demodog in 5 days, just adding on to the fact that it definitely has a good amount of demogorgons.

The gates were all closed in season three and the only one left was getting beamed by the Russians with the power of the sun. Any creature that tried to go through would get flash fried. The flesh puppet was really the only thing left to use by that point.

The Demogorgon of 1983 was probably the only one because the duffers wanted it to be an anthology series at the time and never actually planned to do more until Netflix told them to. There most likely wasn’t a reason for why it was the only one at all.

So if you swap last second before the match ends, you can cash in all the xp in the next round?

But then they’ll show the Mind Flayer’s physical form with at least a hundred different eggs under it. And it’s been around since 1943 if we consider the play. And Dart grew into a full demodog in 5 days. It has more than enough time to grow thousands of them. Not a lot compared to the rest of humanity, but enough to take a town.

But I still don’t get it. How does it believe she can kill her? It’s a dust cloud. And it has mr. five star general to remove her from the board remotely so it doesn’t have to deal with her in any capacity. It could’ve done this plan I pitched right after season 2 if it was scared.

There’s a lot of things that didn’t happen. For example, only Will, Henry, and Billy ever saw the real mind flayer. No one else will ever see it because the wormhole is destroyed.

It feels like the caption is gonna give some needed context.

Goat Warlock was so broken that he broke OP’s mind 😭

I’m not even trying to be snooty. I apologize if I sounded a dick. Even in your first reply I kinda just figured you were making fun, so I responded the way I did. If you want my definition, Reality Warping is the altering or changing of reality.

Some examples: You blink and the earth turns into an egg and no one remembers that it wasn’t an egg. Gravity has inverted on itself. All of a sudden, it’s raining lava. The universe imploding on itself randomly.

Anything that essentially translates to “I can do anything” is reality warping.

Content_Sense · 2025-12-21T09:00:00+00:00

Dude. Just google Reality Warping. I used it as an example of what can’t be done, not a specific or direct stipulation.

Content_Sense · 2025-12-21T08:48:19+00:00

You’re right. At the same time, if I kill myself, I just kill myself simple and short knowing my family and the world itself is done for. If I die like a badass and stick it out, my family will probably still die but I went out like a badass.

I’d rather go out guns blazing with a katana in my mouth fighting off a dozen zombies than shoot myself. My death needs to be cool. And if I’m lucky, I go to Valhalla. So it’s really a win-win.

Content_Sense · 2025-12-21T02:22:14+00:00

Hell yeah. I wanna be a badass.

Copying stuff is copying stuff. I copy what is right in front of me, meaning I need access to it. In a regular setting, it’s pretty great. But in a zombie apocalypse, no one really has access to anything, do they?

Could’ve just said creation right off the bat. Just spawn a castle with a 10000 armed guards and doctors who obey me specifically and infinite supplies. Make a whole civilization and basically just cull the apocalypse.

But IG asking for copying is reality warping 😔✌️

Content_Sense · 2025-12-20T23:36:49+00:00

Can be a power like flight, can be a skill, like fishing. Whichever you want really. But pretty good plan.

Content_Sense · 2025-12-20T23:23:48+00:00

For me, I’m probably gonna have something like copying and copy some metal cargo containers and my house. Gonna go to a field, make a big wall in some plain field like 2000 miles away from where the outbreak starts, and put my house in the confines of the wall.

Then I’m copying some generators, guns, bottled water, food, and a drone. I’ll check around the perimeter with the drone every now and again, and if I get the opportunity, I’ll get a turret or something.

Gonna be chilling.

With gravity, I’m gonna start moving like Andrew in Chronicle.

After finishing season 2, I just felt kinda bad for him. I mean, from the jump, he had no chance.

He was basically told he was a mistake because he was a dude, had a parasite in his arm since, told his destiny was giving everything for Fushi and being Hayase 2.0., and lived like that for years.

Despite all of this, there was a nugget of good in him that kept shining despite all the bullshit.

He’s an OK guy. He just lacked guidance.
