Likely because of these storms, the Upside Down affects the electromagnetic field of our world. This is how Will was able to use the Christmas lights to communicate with Joyce and why compasses will, if they’re in close enough range, point to Upside Down gates rather than true north. Then, of course, there’s Vecna, the monstrous evolution of Henry Creel/One who preys on humans’ trauma before gruesomely killing them. Is Vecna the Mind Flayer? Image: Netflix

Joyce's way of communicating with Will through the lights and hearing him in the walls of the house is an allusion to the 1982 horror film Poltergeist, in which young Carol Anne goes missing in another dimension and can be heard through the TV and walls. Also similar to Joyce, Carol Anne's mother ended up entering the other dimension to save her child.

Henry was jettisoned to a strange inter-dimensional space beyond the human world. For an indeterminate period of time, he fell between two parallel planes, marked by mountainous terrain and raging storms; he was constantly electrocuted by lightning leaping across the twin planes. The mutilation inflicted by the lightning strikes marked the beginning of a bodily transformation; from this point on, Henry slowly morphed into a form no longer recognizable as human. [8] The third target was Max Mayfield, the stepsister of the Flayed's quote-on-quote 'leader', Billy Hargrove. Max was struggling with the loss of Billy, suffering through nightmares where she would re-experience his death. Though Max and Billy had a tumultuous relationship, she felt guilty for wishing for "something to happen to him"; Max's festering grief made her a prime candidate for Vecna's plans. However, unlike Chrissy and Fred, Max and her friends had prior experience grappling with the horrors of the Upside Down. She was Vecna's only victim from this time to have any understanding what was happening to her, and why. Although Will Byers was taken into the Upside Down by the Demogorgon, he managed to evade capture for several days. During that time, he attempted to communicate with his mother after he realized he could manipulate electricity in his home dimension. On one occasion Will found a partially resealed gate in the wall, using it to briefly talk to his mother before it finished resealing. But if the Upside Down didn’t always mirror Hawkins, is it truly a parallel dimension that reflects our world or an alternate dimension that was transformed to reflect our world? Or maybe it’s simply that the Upside Down expands far beyond Hawkins and we’ve previously only glimpsed a small portion of it. Did Eleven create the Upside Down? Image: Netflix Però, prima di commentare ciò che in quest'ultima stagione hanno vissuto i protagonisti, vi siete mai chiesti cos'è successo a Will durante la sua permanenza nel Sottosopra?

Während Will in der Netflix-Serie immer ein wenig kindlich und naiv wirkt, ist er in "Die andere Seite" deutlich mutiger und entschlossener, als man ihn bislang kennen lernen durfte. Auf der sogenannten anderen Seite, die nahezu wie die normale Welt aussieht, bekommt er es nicht nur mit einem Demogorgon zu tun, sondern muss auch einen Weg finden, um Kontakt zu seinen Freunden und seiner Familie aufzunehmen. Dabei zeigt er sich nicht nur als sehr kreativ, sondern überzeugt auch mit einer gewissen Reife, die ich bei ihm bislang immer vermisst habe.

Success!

Stranger Things 4 revealed a lot about Eleven’s past and dropped a big twist about who is the true mastermind behind the Upside Down’s war on humanity. But with only one season left to go, we still have a lot of unanswered questions — several of which center around the Upside Down. Flying predators known as Demobats reside in this dimension. They are seemingly related to Demogorgons, as they share a similar petal-like maw, brimming with teeth. [20] Exhausted and at the end of his rope, Will Byers seeks shelter in a dark mirror of the fort he created in happier times, Castle Byers. Will must fight to keep his sanity just as surely as he must fight to keep out of the Demogorgon's clutches in this suspenseful conclusion. Da ich ein großer Fan der Serie "Stranger Things" bin und nicht nur sämtliche Staffeln gesehen, sondern auch die Vorgeschichten gelesen habe, mussten auch nun die Graphic Novels gelesen werden. Den Anfang macht hierbei der erste Band "Die andere Seite".
