It all has to do with one of the key elements of the character (and the series): ‘Dungeons and Dragons’
‘Stranger Things’ fans have a theory that could return Eddie Munson, the character played by Joseph Quinn, to the fifth season of ‘Stranger Things’. Despite her tragic fate at the end of the fourth season of the series, luck could be on the side of viewers, who miss one of her favorite characters.
The story of this character is curious to say the least, despite having had secondary relevance, the charisma he conveyed captured the love of the public in an exceptional way. So much so, that the most deniers of his death have developed a complex (and well argued) theory about his possible return.
‘Stranger Things 5’: Will Eddie Munson return?
It all has to do with one of the key elements of the character (and the series): ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. The expert gamer could find himself transformed into one of the characters in the role-playing game, which would be directly related to the type of death that Eddie has suffered in the fiction.
Within the lore of ‘Dungeons and Dragons’, a character named Kas appears which, according to the theory that emerged in Redditis a character that he transforms into a vampire after being bitten and attacked by bats. Do you remember the way Eddie Munson dies? Indeed, because of bats.
Another point in favor of this theory is that Eddie has a bat tattoo on his forearm.
In the past, other characters have also emerged from the symbolism of ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. Vecna ​​himself is the result of the Universe of this game.
Adding arguments that prove the fan theory, in the role-playing game, the characters that inspire Vecna ​​and Eddie, face off in a bloody battle. Also, the fact that the character plays ‘Master of Puppets’, could hide a slight subtext. Is Vecna ​​the master of the puppet that Eddie represents? Will Eddie return to the Netflix series in an evil form?
As a final detail, fans point out that the symbol of ‘Iron Maiden’, the group that Eddie follows, is a dead man named (incidentally) Eddie. And, that one of the characteristics of Kas is that he wears horns on his helmet. What peculiar gesture did Eddie make in his famous scene from the series?
Those furthest from this theory also suggest that Eddie’s return in season five is possible. Maybe not in the form of a vampire, but as a zombie under Vecna’s command.
Knowing that music is the key to rescuing the people from the clutches of the villain, Will the young friends be able to free Eddie (should he show up) from the ties that keep him locked up?
