Dear Vecna, You is not the villain Jamie Campbell taking sides with the theories of fans as he considers him innocent in Stranger Things

Vecna is Not the Villain of &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217;? Why Jamie Campbell Thinks So?

All the monsters and fears of the fantasy game Dungeons and Dragons start
crawling up on the real grounds of Hawkins, surprising both characters and
viewers. In the sci-fi drama Stranger Things, we meet several horrors of the
Upside Down that are unnerving and compelling at the same time. But season 4
introduced the scariest beast of the whole series, who preys on the weakling
minds of teenagers. The beast fills them with horrible illusions from
characters’ past experiences. However, Jamie Campbell Bower aka Vecna has a
different opinion about the Stranger Things season 4 villian. 


JAMIE CAMPBELL BOWER HAS A HEART-TO-HEART CONNECTION WITH VECNA OF STRANGER
THINGS

In his interview with Vanity Fair
[https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/06/stranger-things-vecna-jamie-campbell-bower#:~:text=When%20the%20Duffers,I%20understood%20him],
Jamie gave his opinion about the monster terrorizing the kids of Hawkins. He
found this opportunity of playing Vecna to be something wild and challenging
because he is a fan of villains and sees them from a different perspective. It
is Campbell’s belief that antagonists do have their own story to tell.

“Obviously, he’s our point of contention, as it were. But I never saw him as the
villain because I understand him” conveyed Campbell.

Campbell [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jamie-campbell] has spent several months
executing the character of Vecna and has analyzed him from every angle. He told
in his other interviews also that undergoing such a transition takes patience.
In addition, he read about the negative characters and villains of all sorts to
prepare for his role. He used to listen to dark music and deeply dig into the
storyline of his character in Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things].

Surprisingly, the evil wizard Vecna has influenced fans and they sympathize with
him instead of being affected by his disturbing actions

in StrangerThings season 4. However, he has killed people in the most brutal
ways like smashing their skulls, crushing bones, and hollowed eyes. Still, fans
sided with him, as he was locked all these years in the Laboratory and was used
as a slave by Papa for his experiments. Fans and Jamie are convinced that he is
not the villain here its the ways of this world as he said in his interview with
TV Guide
[https://www.tvguide.com/news/stranger-things-jamie-cambell-vecna-episode-7-backstory/]:

“Ultimately, his main goal is still to bring righteous justice to the world, at
least his version of righteous justice”
