Stranger Things Season 4: Will Not Have A Happy Ending: The Menacing Words Of The Duffer Brothers

Stranger Things Season 4 currently available on Netflix, is one of the most followed, loved, and well-reviewed shows ever. Since season 1, the TV series has taken many viewers back in time, paying homage to the 80s atmosphere loved by Stephen Spielberg and by the two creators of the series, the Duffer brothers. Season 4 is very Spielbergian and follows tropes very common in adventure and blockbuster cinema by the beloved American director. However, Stranger Things Season 4 appears notoriously darker and harder to digest than the previous ones, in which the protagonists – from Undi to Will – were still children.

Stranger Things Season 4: Will Not Have A Happy Ending

Season 4 of Stranger Things forces its protagonists to put themselves in front of themselves, those they will become as adults and the dangers that the life of the “grown-ups” entails. The tones, but also the villain Vecna, have a much darker nuance and clear references to depression (like other psychological disorders typical of adolescence) as a disease of a certain age group. Just to maintain cohesion with the whole season 4 and its main narrative thread, it would be difficult to imagine an absolute happy ending for the inhabitants of Hawkins or the young protagonists of the show.

The claims of the Duffer brothers only worsen the concerns of Stranger Things fans about the fate of their favorite characters: “Volume 2 takes what happened in Volume I and raises it to the nth degree. Usually, at the end of the season, we try to close the circle of the various narrative lines and give a worthy conclusion. However, as we move towards season 5, this process will no longer be necessary. There will be no reset for where this season ends. ” In short, dear Stranger Things fans, the last episodes of season 4 will probably be complex to digest!
