What should we expect from Stranger Things 3?
Now before we even get started with today's episode,
spoilers, obviously.
With our bellies full of Halloween candy
and our Netflix cues full of fresh new
Stranger Things episodes to binge on,
we're already looking past the events
of number two to figure out what
may be in store for number three.
Now executive producers Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen
said they know the setting and the key points
of the next volume but are wisely
keeping things under wraps.
But from what we've seen in Stranger Things 2,
we can already see some stranger things
lining up for Stranger Things 3 when the show returns.
First off, Levy and Cohen already let it slip
that there will be a time jump,
like the year that passed between Stranger Things 1 and 2.
It'll just get harder and harder to hide the fact
that these kids are growing up fast,
so rather than have the actors play younger,
they'll let the characters grow up right alongside of them,
the way that Harry, Hermione, and Ron
grew up throughout the Harry Potter films.
Now the Duffers have said they didn't
wanna leave a bunch of cliffhangers
like they did at the end of season one,
and they did manage to wrap things up
pretty neatly while leaving some possibilities
at the end of this season.
So with the time jump pretty much guaranteed
and fewer cliffhangers to clue us in,
what do we think we'll see in Stranger Things 3?
Well, first up, the Mind Flayer.
While the team was able to stop the shadow monster,
they didn't actually kill it.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter,
Ross Duffer said they've shut the door on the Mind Flayer,
but not only is it still there in the Upside Down,
it's very much aware of the kids, and particularly Eleven.
It had not encountered her and her powers
until that final episode.
Now, it knows that she's out there.
So could we see a rematch between
Eleven and the shadow monsters?
It almost seems to go without saying that we will.
As we saw at the end of episode nine
with the Mind Flayer hunched over the school
in the Upside Down, scored perfectly
to the Police's "Every Breath You Take,"
it's watching her.
We will also probably see more of
Eleven entering the outside world.
After the suggested additional year of laying low
while the dust settles on the Hawkins
lab infestation and news story,
we'll see Eleven emerge from obscurity
and start to lead a more normal life.
In fact, that diner scene between
Chief Hopper and Doctor Owens may have been
the Duffers straight up telling us
when exactly they'll pick things back up.
And the year from the closing of the gate
and Snow Ball will bring the kids to yet
another new, scary dimension, high school.
(silly distorted screaming)
Everybody's favorite time in life,
with the A-V club moving into 9th grade
having to navigate a whole new set of bullies
that will make the Mind Flayer
look as harmless as a pollywog.
Moving on to Will Byers, who has been
exorcized of his demonic dust bunny possession,
Actor Noah Schnapp, who plays Will,
isn't convinced his character
really is free of the Mind Flayer.
The Duffer brothers say he is,
but we think that Noah makes a fair point.
He will always have at least some
lingering effects from his experience,
whether it's physical trauma or emotional,
but if the Mind Flayer really is done with Will,
there might be a couple other people
it could try to use to get back into the human world.
Hopper and Dustin were both exposed
to the Upside Down's spores or toxins
or dust or whatever gross thing they both
got sprayed with while in the tunnels,
so they could potentially act as
gateways or incubators for a shadow monster
comeback in the next sequel.
Episode seven, "The Lost Sister,"
also brought up some potential story points
that could be explored more in Stranger Things 3,
Eleven's lab sister Kali is presumably
still out on her revenge mission
and might come back into the picture
to re-recruit little sis.
We could even see more of this family of lab children,
and in this Episode, Eleven also found out
that Dr. Brenner, the former head of Hawkins Lab,
who put her through years of torturous experiments,
is still alive somehow even though the last time
we saw him in season 1, he was being
pounced on by a Demogorgon.
We can't imagine Eleven will resist
trying to find him at some point,
but what do you folks think?
Will the Demodog in Joyce's freezer come back to life?
Will Mike and Eleven go on a double date
with Lucas and Mad Max?
And will Billy and Steve just make out already?
Let's discuss!
