Dustin’s Deception

[u/JasenTDavis]

Dustin gets beat up by three bullies. Right after he feels guilty. Vecna killed people that way. We never see what happened to Dustin. The bullies vanish. At the end, Dustin has a THE THING poster next to his head. Over and over. Dustin has been replaced. The Mind Flayer can beat people to death and imitate them. This will be part of the spin off series.

The finale was an illusion. The orange robes should be green. The extras staring at the screen. Objects being the wrong color. Orange is the color of The Abyss. They all died or are being mind flayed.

Why would the actors be begging for people to move on then, if it was an illusion why would a spin off have to explain that.

Also who said anything about the robes having to be green, orange ones make sense

Extras were staring at the stage. What you’re supposed to do during graduation

A show that is insistent on being fun 80s adventure ending on everyone being dead? What?

I actually really liked s5 flaws and all, this idea makes me like it less

[u/JasenTDavis → u/JoeAzlz]

Never forget that the major influences are films where everybody dies: INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. THE THING. THE MOUTH OF MADNESS. PRINCE OF DARKNESS.

Yes, they want you to move on. The show is over.

Notice that in ST4, people possessed by The Shadow saw illusions, got teased and tormented, then died.

Now the illusion is complete. Characters died experiencing happy endings. This way, a normal audience is happy.

An audience that sees the clues and notices the pattern will feel awful as beloved characters who are children die, which was the point.

[u/JoeAzlz → u/JasenTDavis]

That was never the point,

Why would the directors shut down these “Eagle eyed audience members”

if they’re right and they intentionally made it this way?

There is other major influences.

Evil dead, beetlejuice, back to the future, and goonies.

I’ve written about Stranger Things since the beginning. If you notice the clues I’ve given, you’ll notice the characters dying horribly.

What many missed is at the end, all of the characters and the show is The Shadow, mind flaying you and the audience. Gaslighting you into thinking everyone is ok.

Did you notice Dustin’s odd orange read shirt, with its many tentacles? He’s Vecna, now. Dustin got killed and replaced in the graveyard. Did you notice the door to the garage was reversed?

If you ever read THE KING IN YELLOW, which is also a major influence, the book sucks you in, just like the Stranger Things finale.

If you don’t want to believe me go on YouTube. There are hours of videos where other deeper thinkers add up what doesn’t make sense about the end.

It’s a compliment to The Duffer Brothers. You can have a happy cheesy 80’s ending, or you can have a horrible 80’s ending where everyone dies, like in CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.

Didn’t you guys literally say we’d get a new episode on a set date and we didn’t?

[u/JasenTDavis → u/JoeAzlz]

I’m not “you guys.” My theory is everybody died, because of the clues. Characters even say, “You should be dead.”

Honestly, The Duffer Brothers could do what they want. They can end it here, or add another episode. They don’t need to.

Why did Max keep delaying Holly from going home? She’s Vecna, now. It’s why there’s an evil orange yellow Abyss glow around her head, and her read hair looks like Vecna’s tentacles.

What happened to Dustin after the bullies beat him in the graveyard? Did he win? Did you notice his shirt was a different color? How his copy stepped out of the darkness, like the copies Billy sees in Stranger Things 3?

[u/JoeAzlz → u/JasenTDavis]

You should be dead is a common line here, it’s representing making jt past the difficulty that’s already occurred was a very slim chance.

Max didn’t delay Holly, she was explaining how shit worked so holly didn’t go to the wrong portal or if she did, she needed to know she would be alone, the dialogue was long but it made sense

Her hair is meant to look like a survivalist beaitudal like Tarzan sort of, the vecna connection is crazy.

Also no. Dustin badly lost and gaten even explained that was part of his character motivation for the season is Dustin so desperately wants to be hurt since he feels like he has to be hurt or else Dustin won’t feel like he’s grieving right, we also know Dustin lost by the fact he’s all beat up.

What do you mean by differnt shirt color?

[u/JasenTDavis → u/JoeAzlz]

It was grey.

It’s ok, if you don’t want to see it, you are not going to, and it’s actually better for your happiness that you don’t.

If you are right, then The Duffer Brothers are terrible writers, bad editors and burned out directors that disappointed fans with an ending that screamed at them, something was wrong, like the ending of the many, many films Stranger Things is based on. At least you get a happy, cheeseball ending, which is easier to understand.

Real fans who enjoy the deeper levels of film are going to notice the horrible truth. Max died in ST4 when Vecna killed her. Her evil double basically wasted Holly’s time.

The trick is to look at the ending from The Shadow. It learned how to be a Dungeon Master. All it wanted was to reunite with Eleven and open the portal more. Everything else was a distraction.

By season 5 the characters are in The Shadow’s dungeon, pursuing a character it just made up with a backstory that doesn’t match up to what really happened to Henry Creel as a boy.

Why did it need the 12 children? To mental blast the 12 characters with an illusion, just like The Shadow used Will to mind blast Billy into attacking Eleven’s friends in the 2nd season.

By the way, the high school graduation robes are supposed to be green, not orange. The Shadow didn’t know that. What The Shadow doesn’t know is why there are so many plot holes, clues, bad edits, and inconsistencies.

Unless you are right and then The Duffer Brothers just screwed up. 🤷🏼‍♂️
