Summary
With just over four months to go beforeStranger Thingsseason 5 premieres onNetflix, I’m ready to see Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and her friends again, andnervous abouthow they’re going to stop Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) from destroying Hawkins, Indiana forever. Ever since the first season’s premiere in the summer of 2016, I’ve been invested in the mystery of the Upside Down, and am also attached to every character.
After seeingthe hauntingStranger Thingsseason 5 poster, I was thrilled towatch the teaser today, and it lived up to my expectations. While I agree with other fans that the three-year-long wait has been frustrating,the teaser is a reminder of what an epic story this is, and I think the fifth and final season will be as good as everyone hopes.
I Love The Emotional Stranger Things Season 5 Teaser And Think The Long Wait Will Be Worth It
TheStranger Thingsseason 5 teaser is thrilling, memorable, and intriguing, and I think the final eight episodes will deliver on the satisfying ending that fans hope for.Although many storylines are still a mystery, includingwhether Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) is going to survive, I think the teaser shares enough plot details and character moments to get everyone excited again. Since fans have been concerned about waiting more than three years for new episodes, this teaser needed to be well-crafted. Thankfully, it’s as good as I hoped for.
Although I would have been thrilled to see the fifth and final season a lot earlier, I understand the long wait because this footage looks incredible. I’m impressed with the story the Duffer Brothers have told so far, and I’m glad thatthe showrunners and creators committed to a 2025 release.
While watching the main characters work together once again to save each other, I couldn’t help but tear up. The teaser is a reminder thatStranger Thingsis a show about the significance of the friendships you have when you’re a kid and teenager.While the show’s sci-fi elements are of course important, and I can’t wait tosee Vecna againbecause he’s such a strong villain, these relationships draw people in the most. I wantStranger Thingsseason 5 to have plenty of moving scenes where The Party connects even more, and it looks like that’s going to happen.
One of my favorite moments in theStranger Thingsseason 5 teaser iswhen Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo) stares at Eddie Munson’s (Joseph Quinn) grave, which has been vandalized. As Dustin angrily looks at the words “Burn in hell,” fans are reminded of the strong bond that developed between the two characters beforeEddie’s tragic season 4 death. AlthoughI’m not convinced that the final season needs to feature Eddiein a cheesy flashback or dream sequence, I like that he’s mentioned at least briefly. This is a powerful and moving scene that drives home the pain and suffering that the main characters have experienced ever since Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) first disappeared into the Upside Down.
While of course the final season of a long-running TV show needs to deliver big emotions and exciting moments, there have to be some nostalgic scenes, too. I think the final season ofStranger Thingswill deliver on both those fronts. Every time the characters huddle together to figure out a plan or hide fromthe Upside Down’s creatures, I can’t help but remember all the heartwarming times when they helped each other over the past four seasons. I also think that the action looks more exciting than ever, and the stakes have definitely been raised.
