Stranger Things Season 5 trailers got me.
Again. I swear, every time I think I’ve moved on, they drop a few seconds of Eleven looking intense, or the gang staring into some ominous red sky, and I’m right back in Hawkins.
Season 5 is around the corner, and honestly, I can’t wait. But at the same time… I kind of don’t want it to come at all. Because that means it’s over. And after all these years, I’m just not ready to say goodbye.
I’ve been watching since Season 1, back when we barely knew what the Upside Down even was. I’ve grown up with these characters in a way. I know their quirks, their fears, the way they’d react to something before they even do. Will’s quiet sensitivity. Joyce’s full-on, unstoppable mom energy. Steve’s glow-up from the jerk we couldn’t stand to the guy everyone wants to hug. And Eleven, she was weird at first, sure, but now she feels like family. Watching her story unfold has been wild.
This show has been more than just monsters and synth music for me. It’s nostalgia, friendship, fear, love, all wrapped in that eerie Hawkins vibe. Every season pulled me deeper into the world. And now, with Vecna stronger than ever and the whole gang gearing up for one last fight, it’s hitting hard.
The Duffers say it’s “the end of the beginning,” but come on, how do you wrap up something that’s become part of people’s lives? I know whatever happens, it’ll be emotional, epic, and probably leave me crying in front of my screen.
One thing’s for sure: we’re all going on one last adventure. Whether we’re ready or not.
Also, why is nobody talking about Steve not being in the trailer? Has he died? Did he sacrifice himself for El? Because we can see El wearing his stuff in the new trailer.
Did you notice?
Not yet?
Go check the trailer again and tell me what it is that El is wearing that belongs to Steve? 😉
