After disintegrating the monster in the classroom at the end of season one, Eleven essentially disappears into thin air. Where did he go? Where is his body? Did he escape? Did he run into the Upside Down? Was he captured by the Russians? All of these are viable options because we didn't see a body.Īs a matter of fact, the show has used this trope one time before, in its first season. But what has become increasingly popular is the Where Is The Body trope, which is the one that Stranger Things seems to be employing with Hopper's "death." The show clearly did not show Hopper actually being visible when everything went boom, and Joyce turned away during these final moments as well. There are also sub-tropes of the Back From The Dead, and chief among them is the Faking Your Own Death trope. At the inevitable conclusion of Stranger Things, we'd all want to see a happy ending with Hop included, but at which point does a show go too far at taking viewers through emotional sensations that reviving a "dead" character would be just emotional manipulation?

And while I'm fully aware of the fact that Stranger Things is a sci-fi series where rules and logic don't always apply, giving the presence of large, dog-like creatures whose heads open wide like a creepy flower. All of this is fine and dandy, as Harbour turns in stellar performances and his character is ingrained in the fabric of the show – who wouldn't want Hop to be alive?īut in the same turn, it's hard to ignore that in doing so would render all of those powerful moments in the wake of his death virtually pointless. In a recent interview with /Film 's Chris Evangelista, Harbour confirms his character's fate and says that he is alive. So, despite inundating viewers with pain and sorrow in the aftermath of Hopper's death, the show uses multiple easter eggs to drive home the point that Hopper will make an eventual return-from-the-dead, or at the very least, the door is open for the character to make a comeback. We were dealing with some heartbreaking stuff. Until then, sound off below.For me, my first true tear of the finale came when Will broke down when hugging everyone, beginning with Lucas (Caleb McLaughin), as well as the reactions of the rest of the gang Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Max (Sadie Sink), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Nancy (Natalia Dyer). We’ll have more coverage of the final two episodes of Stranger Things in the coming days, including an exclusive interview with Matt and Ross Duffer. So…much…more happened in the final 3 hours and 45 minute of Volume 2, like how Max finally articulates to Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) why she’s been so sour and closed off this season or how Will (Noah Schnapps) comes to the conclusion that his feelings for Mike (Finn Wolfhard) are painfully one-sided or how Nancy (Natalia Dyer) discovers that Steve (Joe Keery) might just be the one for her or how Eddie (Joseph Quinn) paid the ultimate price to prove that he’s no longer the coward who can skillfully thrum a guitar. With ash falling all around them, the Duffer Dream Team can only stand by in total shock and awe. Who says Doc won’t live to tell the tale, again?įinally, Vecna/Henry may be history after his earth-shattering revelation to Eleven about how he became so bad, but his legacy looms large: the final scene of Volume 2 is of a black cloud shaped like a gargantuan spider, hovering over Hawkins. It would seem as if Papa was fatally shot by a military sniper - and that Eleven is definitely over her Stockholm syndrome and sees Brenner for who he really is - but we can’t forget how he survived an attack by the Demogorgon in Season 1. Brenner ( Matthew Modine) remains undeniably and reliably dead is another matter.
