Stranger Things Season 5 Poster Might Have Given Away the Tragic End for Vecna

Stranger Things Season 5 is approaching us at light speed, and with each passing day, as the anticipation grows, so do the theories around what it could be about. A few theories are floating around that seem to be quite interesting; however, I have one that would either make you a regular on my author page or make you say not nice words about me, nothing in between.

Recently, a new poster for Stranger Things Season 5 was released online, and while it looks just like a fine piece out of a graphic designer’s mind, what if I told you it holds the clue for how Vecna will die in the finale? Sounds interesting, right? So put on your silver foil hats as we dive into conspiracy.

Vecna Is Going to Die in Stranger Things Season 5, but It Will Come at a Price

It goes without saying that Stranger Things Season 5 will give us a conclusion to Vecna. We all know that in the end, Vecna will most likely be defeated, but the new poster for Stranger Things might just have solidified it, and also given away the way it will happen. If you look closely at the new poster of Stranger Things Season 5, you will notice that the massive image of Vecna in the background is missing an eye. Now, while keeping that in mind, let me drop a bit of lore on you.

In D&D or Dungeons and Dragons, to kill Vecna, one must acquire his eye and his arm and attach them to someone who willingly wants to do so. Then the recipient needs to be sacrificed, on his own will, using the Sword of Kas. Coming back to the poster, it shows us that Vecna is missing an eye, which could point towards this very plot unfolding, but of course, with some alterations to make it fit in the world of Stranger Things.

Who Could Die in Stranger Things Season 5?

Now we move to a topic that would make most of you uncomfortable – who will die in Stranger Things Season 5?

Before I tell you, let me just share that at this point, this is just a theory, so don’t take it for an absolute. Since we have already discussed that if Stranger Things decides to stay lore accurate, someone will need to sacrifice themselves to take down Vecna. I believe that the one to sacrifice and die in Stranger Things Season 5 could be either Eleven or Will. Now, you might think, what makes me come up with those names? Allow me to elaborate.

When we talk about Eleven, if we take everything into account, she is essentially a weapon created to take down Vecna, and she is aware of this fact. There have been instances where she has been more than willing to sacrifice herself for her friends, and I am certain that when the time comes, Eleven would be the first one to volunteer to be sacrificed.

Now, when I say Will could sacrifice himself, it could be a result of all his trauma and a realisation that Mike does not want to be with him the way he does. We could see him get a release in death from all his trauma and the pain of an unrequited love, and hence, he could volunteer himself to be sacrificed instead of Eleven or any of his friends.

So, here’s my theory based on the evidence we have at hand, and if you have anything else to add to it, do let us know in the comments!
