The Season That Took Fans on a Roller Coaster Ride
There’s been no shortage of jaw-dropping moments in Stranger Things Season 4, and fans are buzzing with theories and debates. One big question hanging in the air like the fog in the Upside Down: Did Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) create that otherworldly dimension? Well, let’s dive into what Season 4 revealed and what Millie Bobby Brown herself has to say about it.
Eleven vs. Henry Creel: The Epic Showdown
The first seven episodes were packed with shocks, including revelations about Hopper’s fate, and the haunting secret of the Creel house. But what stands out is Eleven’s intense face-off with Jamie Campbell Bower’s Henry Creel at the Hawkins lab. In a chilling moment, Henry goes berserk and takes out other kids involved in Dr. Brenner’s experiments. Eleven narrowly defeats him and sends him to the Upside Down, effectively opening the first gateway to this dark realm.
“One of the biggest reveals was the flashbacks that saw Eleven facing off against Jamie Campbell Bower’s Henry Creel at the Hawkins lab… Eleven would narrowly defeat Henry and send him to the Upside Down, opening the first doorway to the terrifying dimension and putting the events of the series in motion.”
Millie Bobby Brown Clears the Air
So, did Eleven create the Upside Down? Millie Bobby Brown gave a definitive answer in an interview with Variety:
“[The Duffer Brothers] did tell me. She does. She opens the rift. This is too big of a debate for me to answer. I’m so worried. I think — no, no, no. I think that the alternate universe was always there. That is always going to be under Hawkins. I just think she has access to it. I don’t think that she created the Upside Down. No, I think that it was always there, I think she just created a gate to it which no one could before.”
So, for everyone holding their breath, you can exhale now. Eleven didn’t create the Upside Down; she simply opened a passage to an already existing dimension.
Deeper Mysteries in the Upside Down
Despite solving some of the series’ long-standing questions, Stranger Things Season 4 raises new mysteries, especially regarding the Upside Down’s history. Interestingly, the version of Hawkins in the Upside Down is perpetually stuck in 1983. Is Will Byers the key to this time freeze? And is Vecna, who has been terrorizing Hawkins, really the big bad?
“Stranger Things season 4 solved many mysteries on the show and also showed a little more about the history of The Upside Down. It turned out that Vecna was who has been murdering teenagers in Hawkins and is the main villain in the series – one that Eleven remains responsible for.”
What Lies Ahead in Stranger Things Season 5
With fans clamoring for answers, Season 5 could potentially tie up these loose ends. The intriguing possibilities include further revelations about the Upside Down, Vecna’s true role, and the implications of the rift staying stuck in 1983.
With the veil partially lifted on some of Stranger Things’ most intricate puzzles, Season 5 has a tough act to follow. But given the show’s track record, the ride is far from over, and we can’t wait to be thrilled and chilled in equal measure.
“While the question about whether Eleven created the Upside Down or not was answered, the question still remains about why the rift remains stuck in 1983… Stranger Things season 5 should answer these questions.”
So there you have it, folks. Stranger Things Season 4 has been a rollercoaster of revelations, and Season 5 promises to be an even crazier ride. Keep those Eggo waffles handy; we’re in for some more supernatural thrills!
