Stranger Things season 4 is getting bigger. The Duffer brothers compare it to Game of Thrones and we decode the parallels in the trailer.

&#8216;Game of Thrones&#8217; Parallels You Missed in &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Season 4 Trailer

We are certain that even the die-hard Stranger Things fans have missed the Game
of Thrones parallel in the season 4 trailer. Well, we don’t fault you for that
because the new monster and the Creel house distracted us as well.  The Duffer
jokingly referred to Game of Thrones in an interview. 

“We kind of jokingly call it our Game of Thrones season because it’s so spread
out, so I think that’s what’s unique, or most unique about the season.”

The high production value and the epic scale of this season can only be compared
to Game of Thrones. With the gang dispersed across 3 different locations. The
sci-fi series can even have a Game of Thrones introduction with maps and all.
Coming to the trailer, the blue-eyed monster may remind you of Night King in
Game of Thrones. Well, it’s because the brothers hired Barrier Gower

who created the Night King! 



“Game of Thrones is one thing we’ve referenced, but also for us really what it’s
about is revelations, in that we really wanted to start giving the audience some
answers. What occurs in [Creel House] is pivotal to understanding what has been
happening in Hawkins all of these years,” they added.

The Duffer Brothers have worked on a supersized season that will have 9 episodes
in total arriving on May 27.

the show, after moving the Byers to California.

“Joyce and [the] Byers family…left at the end of Season 3. They are in
California—we’ve always wanted to have that like E.T.-Esque suburb aesthetic,
which we finally got to do this year in the desert,” explained Matt. The big
evil this season, Vecna, is a direct reference to Dungeons & Dragons. Whereas
Joyce and Murray’s adventure to rescue Hopper may give you Indiana Jones Vibes.
Although Brett Gelman (Murray) thinks it’s more Star Wars.
