Amidst the feverish anticipation and excitement for new seasons, the most eagerly awaited installment is undoubtedly Stranger Things season 5. Fans can’t help but fondly recall the spine-tingling moments of ‘Running Up That Hill’ that rescued Max from Vecna’s curse in a thrilling showdown. However, fate took an unexpected turn as Max’s luck ran out in season 4. We see her on the brink of death, trapped in a harrowing state of coma, blindness, and shattered bones.

The ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike prolongs the wait for another season. Fervent fans of Stranger Things can’t help but concoct their own elaborate theories about Max’s fate in the highly anticipated upcoming installment.

Stranger Things Max’s fate has theories from fans

As the previous season came to a gripping conclusion, viewers were left in shock when Max found herself trapped in a coma, teetering on the brink of death. Miraculously, Eleven, portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown, managed to bring her back from the edge, defying all odds. However, intriguing theories have surfaced. Could there be more to Max’s survival than meets the eye? Speculation arises that during Eleven’s powerful revival, an unexpected twist in the fabric of time occurred, inadvertently transporting Max’s soul to an alternate timeline, as per Bustle.

As time travel theories continue to swirl, speculations suggest that Max’s timeline could be unlocked by none other than Eleven. She possesses the ability to manipulate gates and even access alternate timelines. In this intriguing narrative, some hypothesize that Max might inadvertently find herself in a different timeline, where she stumbles upon a young Henry, possibly using him as a means to communicate with others across timelines. The possibilities of a Stranger Things plot akin to Terminator-style time travel intensify, especially with the recent addition of Linda Hamilton to the cast.
