Been thinking about the The First Shadow spoilers for days and like I obvi wanna watch it myself to get the full picture (the moment a slime tutorial drops I want to be notified please) but it's very funny how it turned me, a major Will-has-powers sceptic, into a huge Will-has-powers truther like...I don't want Will to have powers to solve the plot but if that could cause more problems? That would be delicious actually, maybe. Like I need the full picture but we can cook with that, I think

#stranger things #st theories #st the first shadow #like idk if I like 'it's an alien did it' but then again...what was s1 but 'an alien did it'? so like I'd need to see the whole thing and #then the execution of S5 to judge it but in gernal idk if I'm upset about it. It feels a bit weird with the vecna reveal but we'll have to #see how they do it #but for the will has powers because of his time in the ud aspect? I'm down actually that could be FUN. and it would work with the whole #powers as metaphor for otherness aspect. Because the protags are portrayed as not-bigots. So they won't react to any normal 'otherness'#badly. But to something stranger? Something that was portrayed as smth you can/should fear a little maybe? Are justified in othering a lil?#imagine if that applied to Will and he suddenly had a reason for believing his friends and fam might hate him for who he is? and then we ge #proper Will Henry parallels?#plus the bigness of that could maybe actually be a good reason for will to run off into the UD prompting the party to go find him again.#and this time they find him not el bringing us full circle #the first shadow spoilers #tfs spoilers
