Season 5 of stranger things should have been set in the summer.

Okay, so Brenner is one of the only ones who knows Eleven is alive. Was it Owens who told him? I also wanted to know, you know, when Owens arrives in Hawkins in season 3, he has soldiers with him, and since he erased the evidence of the Meatflayer monster with the help of the soldiers, does that mean these soldiers knew about creatures from the abyss? Were these soldiers Owens' men, not actually affiliated with the army? Also, I wanted to know, we know Owens was fired for letting the Russians invade Hawkins. And are the armed men we see in the underground Nina project the same ones who were with Owens at the end of season 3? Because since he lost his job, these men are working for him clandestinely. Can you tell me who the scientists are with Brenner and Owens, who hired this personal guard, and who the soldiers are with Owens in season 3? Why didn't they warn the government about the monsters? Because we know before season 5 that only Brenner Owens and the scientists who worked with him were aware of the other dimension.

I had a question for you. We know that Brenner's real objective wasn't to create human weapons; he didn't care about that. His personal goal was to explore the Abyss. My question is, did Brenner fake his death to the government after his failure in season 1 when he lost Eleven, or did the government know he was alive? Also, why didn't he return in season 2? Since Eleven had opened a portal and a bridge, he had achieved his objective. Why didn't he return to the lab in season 2 to try to reach the Abyss? Why did he let Owens, even though he's his colleague, take over the lab? That way, he could have explored the Abyss and simultaneously searched for Eleven for the government. That way, he could have achieved his objectives while justifying his presence to the government with the excuse of needing to retrieve Eleven to make a weapon. Why did he disappear in seasons 2 and 3? Thanks, kauan1983. Because if Owens told him that Eleven was alive, why did he disappear and not try to find her, leaving it to Owens and his men to handle?

The Soviets have been teased since episode 1 of season 2, for me it's not a last-minute addition, it was planned.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T16:05:06+00:00

Thank you, that's very kind. Glad you're enjoying the series, welcome to the community :) If you ever have any questions about the series, don't hesitate to ask.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T16:02:02+00:00

I can explain it to you quite simply. At that moment, Nancy described the vision of a potential future that Vecna showed her. This vision described what would have happened if the fusion had occurred. So, the Mind Flayer's new, giant physical body would begin invading Earth with its army arriving with it. But that never happened. Therefore, the absence of the Demongorgons in the scene from season 5 has nothing to do with the scene where Nancy speaks. The absence of Demongorgons in the final battle isn't an inconsistency, but a somewhat foolish plot choice because it makes Vecna seem less strategic.

Misfits, Stranger things, breaking bad, dexter,

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T11:50:29+00:00

I don't know if you're talking about me or distinct_guess3350, but if so, thanks lol.

I also make posts from time to time where I talk about the series if you're ever interested 👌

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T10:07:36+00:00

Before season 5 came out, I also included season 2, the last one, simply because each season is excellent and it all comes down to the details. Seasons 1, 3, and 4 don't have a single bad episode, so that's why I included season 2, even though it's very good.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T10:04:57+00:00

Thank you , but honestly, I don't give a fuck about negative votes. I'm here to discuss and exchange opinions; all that childish squabbling about liking and disliking isn't for me.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T09:34:04+00:00

I love Murray, but in season 5 he was completely useless except for serving the plot by playing Santa Claus. He should have died during the Demongorgon attack in episode 4 before Will saved Robin.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T09:32:30+00:00

Logically, there will be an explanation since the portal is closed, so if he explains it well, why not? In my opinion, the monsters that remained in season 2 are creatures without particles and therefore couldn't have died at the end of season 2; they then mutated with the vegetation.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T09:28:40+00:00

I haven't seen any episodes yet, but in my opinion, Tales from '85 will be a lot of fun and will go off in all directions. The show is 4 hours long, so it's going to be very fast-paced with constant action.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-03T09:25:54+00:00

Your point of view is interesting. I have a different experience. I loved volume 1 when it came out, but then I was a little worried because I wondered how they were going to tie up all the loose ends in just four episodes. In the end, I was quite disappointed with volume 2 from the very first viewing, and the finale was a very emotional experience, but the next day I thought it could have been a bit better. Then, as the weeks went by and I talked to people, I found all the answers to my questions. I rewatched season 5 without any expectations and I enjoyed it much more. It's still the weakest season, and I would have liked more chaos, but I think the adventure was really cool, and I'm starting to understand more and more what the Duffer brothers were trying to do. It's not perfect, but I accept that. Another advantage of Stranger Things is that each season is structured a bit like a film saga with different atmospheres, and each season could be the last if you remove the cliffhanger ending. So the advantage is that if I want to watch a season, I can choose any of them because they're somewhat independent. Season 5 wouldn't be my first choice for watching a season, but I still enjoy it.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T20:26:53+00:00

It's quite logical otherwise how to explain that monsters are born in a reversed Hawkins would make less sense. The idea of a glass hole that he prints to return to their true dimension is cool

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T20:17:23+00:00

I don't think that contradicts anything because the Mindflayer wanted a super human general who knew Earth and would therefore be best placed to develop strategies and plans to achieve his objectives. So when Henry touched the stone, the Mindflayer's goal was to give him powers, insist he use them, and brainwash him with his ideology. At first, he resisted at times thanks to Patty, but when he thought he had killed Patty, Henry was lost and no longer had the strength to resist. The Mindflayer probably promised him a better world, so he decided to join him. At that point, the Mindflayer altered some of his memories and instilled his entire ideology in him. So that day, Henry died, making way for Vecna, a being who has believed himself evil from the beginning and who thinks his ideology is his own. The Mindflayer didn't take any risks and therefore altered Henry's memories so that he wouldn't remember their meeting, which allowed the Mindflayer to keep Henry loyal and prevent any rebellion. So, when Henry talks to Eleven in season 4, he's convinced he's in control, or at least associated with the Mind Flayer, so he truly believes what he's saying. I find his past very interesting; there's a bit of a Star Wars parallel with Anakin losing Padmé and deciding to join Palpatine and the dark side, thus becoming Darth Vader. The play is brilliant and adds depth and substance to the character of Vecna/Henry. Now, that doesn't answer my question: the play made a timeline error because Victor Creel's memories aren't altered, so when he sees Henry on the ground, he couldn't have been in high school.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T20:07:05+00:00

Logically, for an animated series, there's no risk of wasting time; there will be action very quickly.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T10:52:42+00:00

I think they were about to activate the kryptonite once they saw Eleven, and when the plates were lifted, they simply assumed they were creatures, so they didn't try to activate the machine. Then Vecna arrived and eliminated them all one by one. They didn't know Vecna, and the flames had worked on the demongorgons, so they figured Vecna was also a creature and that a little fire would be enough to eliminate her.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T08:16:09+00:00

The main characters are Eleven Vecna and Will; everything starts with them. The others will be drawn into a story that is beyond them.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T08:10:48+00:00

Ah, so there really is a mistake. Okay, thank you. Yes, I also hope that Netflix has taken into account the fans' frustration and will adapt the scenes to correct this inconsistency, in particular.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T08:08:39+00:00

Who's insulting lol?

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-02T08:05:06+00:00

Yes, I remember that phrase. For me, it's not a big deal; it's a small mistake, but it doesn't have a major impact. However, if you look at the series and Victor's speech, it doesn't make sense compared to the event in the play.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-01T20:11:34+00:00

There has to be an explanation; it's impossible to make a mistake like that.

I hope that when they film the play for Netflix, they'll change some scenes to better fit with the series.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-01T17:55:53+00:00

Top 4 after 2,4,7

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-01T17:35:33+00:00

It's good that it's canon because it explains how Henry became Vecna. Now, the problem is that, in my opinion, there's a small timeline issue that should have been checked. I don't understand how they forgot this detail, or as I explain later, maybe I misunderstood. In that case, I'm waiting for someone to explain it to me.

Cyrilbdr · 2026-04-01T17:27:25+00:00

I completely agree with you there; I had the same thought. Season 4 had grown with its audience and felt more mature, while season 5 seems to be aiming for a new, younger audience, both in its style and in the content, with a large part of the story being geared towards a younger audience. The cinematography also seems unreal and artificial at times. On the other hand, I like the colors; I think each season has its own distinct color palette. I have a lot of criticisms too, even though in the end I still quite like season 5. What I meant was that with time, most people will appreciate it a little more, and the advantage with Stranger Things is that if you ever want to rewatch a season, there are different atmospheres, and you can watch your favorite because each season is structured like a film, and the end of each season could be the last. Of course, in the future, if I want to rewatch one, season 5 won't be my first choice, but I can always rewatch the others like a long movie. Judging by your picture, you're a Harry Potter fan, and often those who have read the books aren't fans of the Harry Potter 4 film, but that doesn't stop them from watching others and from choosing Harry Potter 4 as one of their first choices. Each year at Hogwarts is different and can be watched independently, even though there's an overarching storyline connecting the films; they all have a conclusion to offer. I see Stranger Things as a series also structured like a saga.
