Relation between Stranger Things and Squid Game

The newest season of Stranger Things was insane in every aspect. We got to know a lot of new things not only about Eleven but also about the big baddie of this season, Vecna.

In the last episode, we really got to know Vecnas origin story. And how 001/One betrayed El into restoring his powers back. However, 001 also previously had been linked with another sinister character infamous for his betrayal. If you guys remember, 001 was also the number of Oh Il-nam.

Just like Vecna, II-nam too befriended the protagonist of the show only to show his true colors at the end and leave the audience and the protagonist with a bitter aftertaste.

Upon identifying this huge similarity between the two blockbusters shows people have started to react to it on Twitter. With many reactions of how they’ll never be able to trust someone with number 1.

Some of the tweets are.

Now obviously this doesn’t mean that the two shows exist in the same universe or they are connected in any way. It’s just that this small piece of coincidence really elevates the viewing experience for us all. And is a small detail for fans to enjoy.
