When Stranger Things was released by Netflix eight years ago, the show quickly earned a cult following. Recognized as one of the moving cultural forces of the streaming giant’s eerie catalog, Stranger Things was not only a success for ordinary subscribers but a league above that. As the Upside Down readies to rock it out next year with the final showdown between Papa Modine’s favorite lab rats, fans have taken over social media to promote this Avenger, Chris Hemsworth, to a superfan for his undying romanticism for the stranger. 

The Fright Night is over and fans are well past the Stranger Things Day. But Upside Down hangovers are like never-tiring fidgets, and hot on the heels of the highly anticipated update on the last installment of the show, a Chris Hemsworth X Stranger Things throwback picture series is doing the rounds of the Internet like it never missed a beat. The picture shows Asgard’s guardian locking lips with Indiana’s most notorious Demogorgon, or, to be fair, its statue to fill in on the post-Halloween eerie blues

While Chris Hemsworth is anything but an Avenger by the books, this strange love story was even a little too far for the likes of Thor. However, with its unearthing once again after Halloween and Stranger Things Day, it is just a friendly reminder that the most terrifying elements hilariously exist in the ordinary. Although Hemsworth has previously slipped into this avatar for his horror season inspirations, the chemistry was never really so out in the open.

Chris Hemsworth’s undeniable chemistry with this Stranger Things devil has fans in a chokehold

Stranger Things may have illustrated Demogorgon as the harbinger of the ultimate evil, but even Dustin Henderson found ways to befriend one of them. Hence, it is not surprising Stormbringer found a friend in the shadow monster. However, since a return like this was probably not in the horror bingo cards of fans this year, they have seized the momentum to celebrate it to the fullest. 

Many fans have already bestowed on him the badge of the “biggest fan” of Stranger Things.

Others were too busy laughing at Hemsworth’s antics, as they may never find a well-suited place than the world of the stranger. Although Stranger Things has happened in Upside Down to be true, fans celebrating this Hemsworth-meets-Demogorgon resurface from Indiana suggest they prefer this over the rest of the strangers.
