    This Lego set looks sick. You can pull the house apart and transform it into when it begins to split in season 4

     
  6. meh first episode. way too much exposition and it's hard to care

  7. Second episode good. My guess is max doesn’t leave the upside down + dies saving Holly

    I hope Max wakes up after 20 months in a bed and miraculously walks around with zero muscle atrophy

    I may be asking dumb questions because I’ve only watched the show once through and forget things:
    1. When 11 goes in that army guy’s mind and is like walking around and shit, have we seen her do that before? Is that a thing she does?
    2. Where is Holly? The Creel house in the Upsidedown? Why is it not all dark and ashy and shit?

    Holly is in a dream. Irl, she's strapped to a wall like Will was when he was trapped down there.

    When she gets to the secret door, does that imply that the army guy has seen behind it, or can she just walk around in memories even if the person whose head she is wasn’t actually there

    An inconsequential shift as the continents drift.

    1. it's kind of an extension of what she did in previous seasons, eg going through Billy's and her mother's memories. I think we're meant to assume her powers have gotten stronger because we haven't seen it cause pain before
    2. Max says she's in some kind of memory world and Will gets a brief flash of her tied to a pillar with a tentacle attached to her. presumably she's physically in the ashy UD but being kept placid with the fake world but it hasn't fully been explained yet

    Oh right so she has a weird venca tube in her face while she’s unconscious or whatever?

    she can’t see behind it because he’s never seen behind it.

    Yep! Man, Vecna tube is a better way of putting it compared to what I started typing up before backspacing it and just saying "strapped to a wall" lol. Not many ways to say it without sounding disgusting.

    I thought she can’t see behind it because they have it filled with “kryptonite” bc venca is in there (her immediate theory, I didnt finish so maybe that is challenged)

    So hold on, Max and Holly are in the same spot but Holly’s body is in the vecna tube trap and Max’s body is in a coma in a hospital in the real world? And Vecna leaves Holly to go to work or some shit? But knows Max is out there in the same world?

    again, maybe it gets answered in the next hour I have left or in the last few eps. But I don’t get that

    edit:
    Ok Vecna doesn’t want Max in his mind but she’s like stuck there for some reason?

    Won't stfu about Drake Maye Supporter

    Correct. There’s basically like 4 realms within this show.

    Real world - Where the gang is and is normal
    Upside Down - Buffer dimension between the real world and….
    Dimension X - Another dimension where all these monsters are from where Vecna first encountered the mind flayer
    Brain World? - Not sure what to call this but with 11 it’s usually manifested as those very black locations, for Vecna he can basically build entire worlds within this realm from his memories and trap others mental selfs in it.

    If that makes sense?

    Just going off s4 info (which is mostly what we know about that context), Max is kind of an anomaly. The other 3 that Vecna killed in s4 were physically broken and died. And stayed dead. When Max inadvertently sees Vecna’s inner thoughts or whatever, we saw that the others were present there, but also had dead bodies in the real world. Max was killed as they were in the finale, but El then brought her back to life a minute later or so.

    It was said that when Vecna took his victims, it wasnt just death, as they would become a part of him. Which I think is seen with the victims being trapped in the spires.

    Max died. But is now (physically) alive. Her mind is trapped in Vecna’s void world for the time being. There’s a detail I’ll leave out because I don’t recall if it’s in 5.3 or 5.4.

    Why Vecna seems to leave Max to roam free is not clear.

    Hm alright thank you for your service. There’s also a fucking stage play that has events that are canon to the show that I will have to read some offbrand wiki about???

    Having to know anything about the play for this show is absurd lol

    I’m gonna go out on a limb and say anything that happens to be in the play will be explained and presented in the show as if it’s new information.
