We’re sure that it’s not the first time that you’re hearing this. Lots of people believe that Stranger Things was stretched unnecessarily in the middle seasons and they seem pointless. This leads to the theory that the middle seasons could’ve been skipped. We’ve also got some follow-up comments.

Okay, so remember the scene where Hawkins split into two? You can clearly see Jason’s body turning into a skeleton. But, if they close the portal in the next season, there are chances that Jason’s body will unspilt, and hence, he’ll be back.

We’ve got a juicy one. This is one of the worst theories anybody could come up with. Sure there were some things that were wrong with Mrs. Wheeler, but that doesn’t make her Vecna’s sister. However it is Stranger Things, so you never know.

However, the show does have some things inspired by IT, like curious, risk-taking kids discovering supernatural stuff. But that doesn’t make the show a “copy”. We even found a comment with justification.

This is a funny one! Will Byers has been the king of weird haircuts since season 1 of the show. Let’s hope the makers give him a good one in season 5.

That sounds fishy. Actually, the reason behind people thinking that could be because Bob was super nice. Almost every character in the show has a bad side or a weakness, but Bob was very nice to everyone. Plus, his sacrifice for Joyce might’ve struck you as “wait, nobody’s that nice,” hence leading to this theory.

Some fans want Max to be blind. Because if she is restored back to her previous healthy self, that would become very unrealistic. Hence fans want Max to at least be blind forever, so that the show becomes more realistic.
