Should we prepare ourselves to cry over Will’s death in season 5?

Summary:

  • A hidden detail was found in the season 4 premiere that hints at Vecna's presence.
  • It involves the name Henry, which is Vecna's real name, appearing behind Will's neck.
  • There's a fan theory suggesting that Vecna actually needs Will Byers to survive.

If you watched Stranger Things, you probably know that the Duffer Brothers always leave some hidden details or Easter eggs, and sometimes, they can be pretty much foreshadowing. A fan on Reddit shared a mind-blowing detail in the season 4 premiere that many of us missed.

In a scene featuring Will, there's a sneaky appearance of Vecna. Well, not literally, In a school scene, there is a presentation of some kind and it reads “Henry,” right behind Will’s Neck. For those who forgot, Henry Creel is Vecna’s real name.

Now, why is this interesting? Well, remember how Will always gets those goosebump-inducing feelings on his neck when the Upside Down is up to no good? This could be more than just a coincidence.

Some fans are theorizing that Vecna, not the Mind Flayer, might have been the one who established a connection with Will. The Mind Flayer, as we know, operates more on instinct, lacking the strategic thinking that Vecna possesses.

And to add to the intrigue, there's also a mention of William at the top of Vecna's clock in his old family home. This could imply a deeper connection between Will and Vecna.

Of course, there's always a chance that this could all be accidental or just fans reading too much into things. But not with Stranger Things, no way.

Fan Theory Suggests Vecna Actually Needs Will

Among countless fan theories, there's one that stands out: what if Will Byers is actually one of Vecna's Horcruxes? This theory implies that Vecna has intricately woven a part of himself into Will.

It's a twist that could redefine the entire narrative of the series, especially as we anticipate season 5. What if Vecna intentionally allowed Will to be rescued in season 1? What if every step Will took away from the Upside Down was actually a move within Vecna's grand, dark chess game?

If this theory holds true, season 5 could revolve around a heart-wrenching realization for the group: to truly defeat Vecna, they might have to face the sacrifice of Will.
