Stranger Things Season 4 came out this year. It was the biggest season thus far, be it in terms of scale or runtime. The season was divided between two parts given the massive runtime of the season. Part One left us on a huge cliffhanger where we understood the broken narrative into wholesome one. Henry Creel, One, and Vecna are one and the same person. After this huge revelation, we’d have to wait for an entire month for part two. Part One consisted of 7 episodes that were well over an hour. Part Two only had two episodes, however those episodes were long enough to be feature films. The season finale ended on a bigger finale than Part One’s finale.
We saw that despite the best efforts of our heroes, Vecna was able to open the 4th gate and the Upside Down has begin to merge into the real world. Stranger Things Season 4 had many deaths, most notably Eddie Munson and Max Mayfield. However, just when Max was dying Eleven seemingly resurrected her. However, Max at the end of the episode was still in a coma and Eleven couldn’t find her mind when she went to find her. So, many viewers including me were confused as in where she really is. However, thanks to a new development we might get an answer for where Max really is.
Stranger Things Season 4: Max is in the Upside Down?
Stranger Things 4’s last episode titled, “Piggyback” script page has been circulating around the internet. The page accounts for the last 20 minutes of the finale. In that we see Max being resurrected by Eleven however, some lines written by the Duffer Brother may given us a clue as to where Max exactly is and what will be her storyline in Stranger Things 5. From what I make of it, Max’s story might be very much the main plot of Season 5 if not a very important subplot.
In an image tweeted by the Stranger Things writers, viewers are able to see the script for the scene in which Eleven revives Max. Though the dialogue is fairly similar to how it appears in the show, one line of direction stands out: “a BRILLIANT KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLORS fly at the camera. Just like when Eleven sent One into another dimension.” I don’t recall seeing the described line. I think it was very purposely removed from the finale to keep us devoid of information for the final season.
After Stranger Things Season 4 ended almost everyone unanimously agreed or believed that Eddie Munson would return in Season 5 as his body was left in the Upside Down. Vecna would resurrect him and he’ll be part of his army for the final showdown of Season 5. Eddie’s body may also be Vecna’s new haven given that his physical form was damaged at the end of Season 4. However, I think Eddie’s gone for good and this theory may apply to Max as her mind maybe trapped into the Upside Down with Vecna.
The description clearly states a kaleidoscope of colors, just like Eleven sent One into the Upside Down. I’m not sure how this will tie into the plot of Stranger Things 5 as we have no clue as to what is going to happen. However, if Max is indeed stuck into the Upside Down then it will be a very important part of the final season. Let me know what do you think of this latest development. Where do you think max is and what will be her role in Season 5.
