The first episode of Netflix'sStranger Thingsis called "The Disappearance of Will Buyers." Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is a character positioned as the show's magical superhero, while Will Buyers (Noah Schnapp) start the drama and magically turn it upside down. Survive. Later, Mindflare invades Hawkins in vision, spoils monsters, and still sees an unnatural connection with — Spoilers — Season 4 Volume 2 Bekna (Jamie Campbell Bower). .. She survived when Will told Mike (Fin Wolfard) that he could detect him.
Sure enough, Will's physical and instinctive connection with Vecna is of monetary value. Stranger ThingsThe last moment of Season 4shows that Vecna's plan worked. The gate connecting upside down and Hawkins is wide open, and Vecna is invading our world.
Perhaps whileStranger Thingsfans wait for Season 5, the question is not how Eleven destroys Vecna, but the connection with Vecna / Henry / One. ..
I know all the similarities and differences between One and Eleven, but the younger version of Vecna is most clearly similar to Will Byers. The young Henry Creel and Will Buyers were both sensitive and artistic boys who were misunderstood by those around them. The main difference between the two is that Will was enthusiastically loved by his mother Joyce (Winona Ryder), Brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton), and friends like Mike. Henry instead stuck to the Black Widow Spider and used his power to attack his family. Will has always dreamed of killing monsters and has been famously rescued from upside down by his loved ones. Does the parallel end there?
From the early days of Stranger Things, Wilbuyers knew that there was something to do with the forces that were still upside down. But what is the exact nature of the connection between Will Buyers and Vecna, which could be the key to the ultimate victory of our hero.
Here are the three biggest theories about the nature of Will's connection with Vecna / Henry / One ...
1
Connected to Vecna while being kidnapped upside down
There was always the assumption that he survived upside down with utter stupid luck before being trapped in the eerie collective spirit of the vines. Will was rescued, but the time spent upside down seemed to forever connect him to the prisoners. This appeared in some horrifying forms in Season 2. Now we know that Will's connection has always been directed to Vecna (not Mindflare). So he can feelStranger Thingsstill alive at the end of Season 4.
Will and Beck's Connection — Can I just call Bekna / Henry / One "Beck"? — One of the chances. They are connected because Will was the first victim. that's it.
11 is the true foil of Vecna, and if you do, it is anti-Vecna.
We learned a lot about the relationship between Eleven and Vecna, and how their brutal battle at the Hawkins Institute manifested upside down.Eleven created it (or a portal to it) to imprison Wang, who transformed into Vecna on the other side. After "exploring" for a while, he discovered that he could be the ultimate predator. Eleven has no memory of their early encounters, but Vecna is about to reach her. She says she wanted to create her own portal because she opened and then closed her door during her world.
Also, in Season 3, Mindfredo Billy (Dacre Montgomery) found that he believed that Vecna was building an upside-down hell world for 11. (This will appear in flashback format when Vecna explains his motives.) Vecna has also repeatedly revealed that he wants to share his power with someone, her. increase. Once again, she rejects Vecna and rejects it. She does all of her to destroy him.
All this seems as easy as upside down. Eleven and Vecna are characters destined to face death for the fate of Hawkins, upside down, and everyone we know.
But ... and if we hear ... Eleven is not a true anti-Vecna. What if he was Will Buyers?

Will is a fool 11 Destined to destroy Vecna, not humans
Up Everything about the sideStranger ThingsSeason 4's down "origin story" makes sense except for one thing. When Nancy (Natalia Dyer), Steve (Joe Keery), Robin (Maya Hawke), Eddie (Joseph Quinn) first noticedStranger Thingsupside down in Season 4. They made a shocking discovery that "upside down Hawkins" had been frozen in the past. Specifically, the day Will Buyers disappeared: November 6, 1983.
Why is the upside-down version of Hawkins stuck that day? More specifically, why did the child Vecna steal Will Hawkins, but he didn't kill him at first like Barb (Shannon Purser) in the first place.
We must question everything that Will Buyers and Henry Creel have in common. In other words, does Will have the same abilities as Eleven and Vecna? The only reason he doesn't show them off is because he wasn't forced by emotional distress or laboratory experiments. And because he was born naturally like Victor, Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine), not Project MKULTRA, didn't know Will was there.
The upside-down Hawkins copy is desperately attempted by the terrifying Will Buyers, just as he took an upside-down neutral landscape and turned it into a mindflare-dominated hellish landscape with his power. Go home that may have been created. And the reason we don't know that Will did this could be because, like Eleven, he suppressed all memories of traumatic trials.
In addition, I learned that Brenner pushed Eleven upside down in the darkness. Isn't it interesting that Will used light to reach his mother in our Hawkins? The techniques used by gangs in Season 4 are very effective.
He was kidnapped because Vecna saw another child he could potentially connect to. And are they connected? Will Will Buyers, not Eleven, ultimately understand how to destroy another naturally-born super-powerful being? And the difference between them is that Will was loved, while Henry wasn't. Can Will understands how to manipulate and control problems upside down in ways Eleven has never done before.
Or all these insane questions from someone who wakes up in a crevice in the ass at dawn and smashes a four-hour TV for work.

Maybe it's all useful It's a coincidence of storytelling.
We will be the Byers / Vecna connection. After all, theDuffer brothers forgot the date when Will Buyers' birthday was. If you haven't tracked the details of such an important world build, they're probably making it all up.
It's ridiculous to think that Will is the key. After all,Stranger Thingsis an eleven show.
Or is it?
