The video gives us a course of time as ‘In the Fall of 1987’ followed by a dire reminder ‘One Last Adventure Begins’ leaving the fans to fend for themselves, truly grounding the beginning of the end for the huge ‘Stranger Things’ fandom.
What does the Stranger Things Season 8 Episode Titles Mean?
Season 5 with 8 titles has left fans speculating even more as they are the key elements shadowing the events to follow on each episode. With titles that is consciously unfinished as ‘The Vanishing of ____’ could mean the possible disappearances of a major character or titles like ‘The Crawl’ indicating Vecna crawling into Hawkins. The most interesting guess would be ‘The Bridge’ and the Series Finale Episode titled ‘The Rightside Up’ as the former could me bridging of both worlds or the character who bridges the worlds while the latter is just a bittersweet reminder of things are finally right, leaving fans hollow or satisfied depending on how the season is layered.
The Season 1 Finale contrasts the Series Finale
The Duffer Brothers love a good throwback as the Season 1 finale was titled “Chapter Eight: The Upside Down” which is ironic as Season 5 filters down to the finale titled “The Rightside Up”, may mirror the first season with the main gang uniting to finish what they started like a full circle moment of sorts or could go the other way with one of the characters, assumably Will taking things on hand and sacrifices himself for the sake of others. Honestly, the possibilities are endless as the Duffers just love to play with our emotions and leave us on the edge of our seats, startling us with something huge and unexpected.
What to expect from Season 8?
The writers have given us a sneak peak of what to expect from the final season by posting the glimpse of their writing for “Season 5. Chapter 1. Scene 1.” in their socials.
This post sets the pace and simply tests the patience of the fans while the writer/ director duo has also been posting some behind the scene photos from the shooting. Will Max wake up from the Vecna attack? Does the portal open up other creatures as well into Hawkins? Who are the Creels and is there an easter egg that connects them to the Wheelers? While the epic battle is yet to commence, the fans are on their last string of patience, all set for the finale premiere in 2025.
