![]() ![]() Though the fire is devastating to Vecna, it does not fully defeat him. Meanwhile over in Upside Down Hawkins, Steve (Joe Keery), Robin (Maya Hawke), and Nancy (Natalia Dyer) toss some Molotov cocktails at the weakened monster, taking him fully out of Max’s mind. That gives her just enough psychic strength to blast Vecna away from Max before he can fully complete his dark ritual. The only thing that saves Eleven’s skin is Mike’s desperate yelling at her unconscious form that he loves her. In any case, Vecna comes very close to defeating Eleven. Perhaps it’s because Vecna, as Number One, is simply stronger than Eleven or that he’s just more familiar with both the Upside Down and other people’s brains. About that though… Is Vecna Defeated?Įleven doesn’t do too well in her mind battle against Vecna. So once Vecna hops into Max’s brain space, Eleven will join him and there they will have the psychic battle to end all psychic battles. Well, Eleven can do that too! She recalls that she was able to enter into both her mother’s mind and Billy’s before. One of those abilities just happens to be psychokinetic in nature.Įleven realizes that when Vecna attacks Max (Sadie Sink), he will enter her mind. Eleven, being a psychic and all, has access to certain abilities others don’t have. Thankfully Eleven realizes that they won’t have to. Mike, Will, and company correctly realize that they’ll never make it back to Hawkins in time to help their friends defeat Vecna. It’s Team Eleven in the Nevada desert that has the most unique plan, however. Since Upside Down monsters operate as a hive mind, attacking any Demo-creatures should buy the folks back in Hawkins some time. Team Hopper in Siberia opts to return to their Soviet prison and attack some of the captured Demogorgons. Team Nancy in Hawkins has a sophisticated four-part scheme to attack Vecna while he’s vulnerable. Like all great Stranger Things finales, our central heroes have a plan to take down the villain threatening them. As it turns out, he only needs to kill four. Some fans (re: me) were confused as to how Vecna planned to dominate the real world operating at a snail’s pace of killing three people within a decade or so. Vecna’s goal is still the generic “unleash general evil upon an unsuspecting world” thing but the method he’s using to go about doing so is very deliberate. Now, thanks to another conversation between numbers One and Eleven in episode 9, we have a better idea of what he’s after. ![]() Based on his monologue to Eleven at the end of episode 7 it seemed as though he was interested in just the usual general evil things. One thing that no one could quite figure out though was what Vecna’s whole plan was. We even indulged in a few of those theories ourselves. New Stranger Things big bad Vecna was the subject of many theories in the four weeks separating season 4’s first and second volumes. Will’s mythical painting has now been revealed but the conversation about his crush will have to wait for season 5. Mike, beautiful dumbass that he is, has no idea what’s going on. Here Will is obviously referring to his own situation and hoping Mike will pick up on it. He then goes on to assure Mike that Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) still cares for him despite their youthful inability to communicate their feelings. ![]() Will carefully points out that Mike’s character is the guy with a heart sigil on his shield because Mike is the heart of their group. Beneath that tableau, however, is a pretty clear subtext. It’s quite a lovely work! It features their whole D&D group as Medieval knights trying to take down a dragon. Will finally shows Mike his painting early on in episode 8. So one would assume that the painting and the revelation of Will’s crush would be related. It’s also quite clear that Will is struggling with the reality that he’s gay and has a crush on his best friend. We know that Will (Noah Schnapp) has been working on a painting that he wants to show to his buddy Mike (Finn Wolfhard). Before we get into the meat (gross) of the Stranger Things season 4 ending, it’s worth addressing a mystery that the show gets out of the way in episode 8. ![]()
