Maya (Robin) At A Panel Said That

Maya (Robin) at a panel said that

She hopes that Robin survives and all the characters can leave Hawkins because it has bad vibes lol

Robin will have a mentor relationship with one of the younger kids, she talked about how she would want to have scenes with Max because she's friends with Sadie but then she says that there are also new people that Robin interacts with so I think she was talking about Will

She also said that they are using a little figurine in season 5 that she wants to steal once the filming is done, and I think it might be a dragon figurine from dnd !! She can't tell which one because it's a spoiler

Here’s how Lucas Sinclair can get a motorcycle:

So Will’s famous painting of foreshadowing as well as official artwork depicts Lucas on a horse:

Now it’s not too far fetched for Lucas to acquire a horse in Hawkins, there are farms around town, although they’ve been shown to be mostly for crops instead of animals. He could potentially also have a demogorgon horse (demohorse?) but I digress.

The more realistic “stede” for Lucas to have would be a motorcycle.

We also know that the Duffers take a lot of direct inspiration from popular 80’s movies. Well one of the most influential 80’s movies that have already had references in the show is 1988’s Akira

I say references loosely because I don’t know if there’s confirmation that they took inspiration from this film, but given it’s popularity and similar use of psychic children, hospital escapes and themes of nuclear war I’m inclined to believe that they must have taken some imagery from Akira. And considering how the time jump could place the show closer to ‘88 I think Akira could be the perfect film to pay even more homage too.

Not to mention a motorcyle is just something that I can totally picture Lucas having. He would definitely find them cool and his family has the financial status to get one. Plus when Max wakes up she can still “zoom” by riding on the back of it with him.

why do you think bylers are by and large so hesitant and resistant to accepting will byers as GNC? I don’t think it’s just because of the buff byers idea, as it seems to go way beyond

I think that people just often dislike canon characterisations and instead prefer to project on characters their own ideas. I think buff byers plays a big role in everything but also the modern biases that make people incapable of understanding the coding. The things will does are not considered gnc or "girly" by modern standards and are therefore mistakenly overlooked constantly, in favor for example for the idea of a gnc mike, because having long hair is sth that's considered gnc now. But in reality will is a product of his time and his colourful clothes and sensitive soft demeanor etc are more than enough coding. However all this requires people to actually think about what canon is saying instead of doing a thousand mental hoops to avoid it and we all know that's not this fandoms forte

Mike is being ‘followed’ because he is a target. and the disappearance of his sister is the plot device to make him the target. the ‘normal’ veil will finally fall.

do people really believe that it is Mike who goes missing… do I really have to debunk this for good

I didn't really want to comment on the titles since they're still very unofficial, but I did have a thought.

"The Vanishing of (Holly) Wheeler"

If they really do go the route of mirroring season 1, then I think Mike is going to be under suspicion much like Jonathan was when Will went missing. Except since Mike was a known member of a "satanic cult," it will be more than just whispers and taunts. I think he may need to go into hiding like Eddie did while they all work to try to find Holly.

This is a hill I'll die on: Vecna/One still has a massive exploitable soft spot for El.

Between:

The way he immediately swaps from pissy/killer mode to "augh...why are you crying..." when he spots El in 4.07

The way he seems completely incapable of getting around to physically harming her in any lasting way

The VR game Shadow Brenner telling Vecna that El's a weakness for him/She makes him emotional

The way he treats her in non-massacre NINA and TFS scenes

I feel like it's a pretty safe bet that deep down he's still very much attached to her.
