Lingering questions
- There could be other gates open to the Upside Down, right?
We know that Eleven sealed the main big one, but we also know there are multiple. Last season, there was one in the lab and one in the woods. At the beginning of this season, El opened one in the school to escape. So what’s to stop the shadow monster from just opening another gate to escape?
- Why were there so many monsters if Will only spit out one?
Where did all those Demo-dogs come from? Do they breed that quickly? Did the shadow monster create them all over the course of the year? If it did, why were they all the same size and growing at the same rate? Why was Dart so small if it had been a year then? Why weren’t there more fully-grown Demo-dogs? Where were the actual Demogorgons?
- Also, what the heck is the shadow monster?
And where has it been this whole time?
- Who did Jane’s make-up for the Snow Ball?
Was it Hopper, Joyce or Jane? Also, are we all going to call her Jane now? I think that’s fair.
- Is it smooth sailing for Nancy and Jonathan?
- How did Steve become so perfect? Seriously.
- I know I shouldn’t be romanticizing the children like this, but Mike and Jane are going to be together forever, right?
Obviously, if you haven’t watched Stranger Things yet or completed the season, you should definitely do so and if you need someone to discuss it with, we’re here and you can hit us up on Twitter, too.
