I squealed when Andrew predicted him being vecna AND #1 😂😂 I predicted it early too only thing I didn’t see coming was him being Victor Creels son. 3 different reveals in one show for one character. ICONIC
That shot of them on the bikes is one of my favorites in the series. The transition to the other four in the upside-down is perfect.
Vecna got his powers from hate and El got hers from love. ❤
Jamie Campbell Bower brings it as Henry/Vecna. He’s such an underrated actor. His acting just pulls me in.
Now imagine having to wait 5 weeks for the final two episodes🥲 But the era of theories and discussions in the fandom were so fun!
I love how when 11 puts 1 through the gate it flashes to him advising painful and angry memories. When she does that she fails against him. But the real memory to give her the strength was her mother saying “I love you”. Pain is a visceral power of memory but love has deep roots and is stronger.
56:09, Actually, if you remember, this scene is happening in Eleven's memory and is in the year 1979. She didn't escape from the lab until 1983 but did use the tunnel that Henry/001 showed her. 56:45, Remember when they were competing against each other in the two circles with #2, Papa made a statement about not letting anger into their thoughts or they would fail. Also, hate and anger is what Kali was trying to get Eleven to use when she was trying to 'teach' her. In this present timeline she tried to use that hate and anger. However, Henry/001 is a master at using that method. It was only when seeing in her memory of being born and hearing her mother saying, "Jane, I love you," that triggered her strength against him. It's the old trope, 'Love conquers all.'
"Something so small could cause so much trouble" I imagine is a reference to Boromir in the Fellowship of the Ring.
I think Vecna is the father of all the children in the lab. Brenner used his DNA to make more people with powers.
