Warning, spoilers. It is recommended that you watch Season 4 of Stranger Things before you continue reading this article.
A true worldwide hit, Season 4 of Stranger Things revived the popularity of the Netflix series. Thanks to its intrigue, its twists and revelations, this new burst of episodes captivated fans as well as fascinated by the new characters.
In addition to the villainous Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), Eddie (Joseph Quinn) has become a public good. The Hellfire Club leader and heavy metal fan broke many hearts throughout Season 4 until his tragic demise in the finale.
With the fourth batch of episodes available from July 1, fans aren’t let go yet and are looking for the slightest hint of Eddie’s possible return, for which they’ve even started a petition. There have been many theories about the character’s appearance in Season 5, including a very rock and roll one.
The theory is placed Reddit Wish Eddie wasn’t really dead, but stuck in an upright position. And it is thanks to music that the Internet user develops his theory. It’s a really dominant place in this Season 4, especially Max’s (Sadie Sink) scene. Running Up That Hill About Kate Bush or Eddie’s guitar sequence Puppet Master by Metallica.
And Eddie’s obsession with heavy metal may have something to do with his survival in Season 5 of Stranger Things. Flashing back to the scene in episode 7 where the gang searches for a song to save Nancy (Natalia Dyer) from Vecna’s clutches, Eddie keeps an Iron Maiden tape at home that reads:This is music!“.
An internet user pointed out that it was the album Somewhere in Time, which was released in 1986 album cover, we can see these letters with the inscription on the right: “EDD LIV”, which may mean “EDDIE LIVES” (“Eddie lives”, in French). In any case, that’s what’s encouraging a user on Reddit who sees Joseph Quinn’s character there.
It also goes further and takes an interest in the titles that make up this Iron Maiden album, such as Caught somewhere in time, Wasted years, Sea of Madness and on a foreign land. Uplifting songs that could refer to Eddie, “Stuck in Time Somewhere,” “In a Foreign Land”…
To an internet user, these links cannot be a coincidence and it is clear that Eddie is alive and stuck upside down waiting for his friends to come and rescue him. Perhaps the gang preferred to have Eddie appear dead in Hawkins because the authorities would arrest him for the murders of Chris and Vecna’s other victims.
To answer this question, we will have to wait for the release of Stranger Things season 5. For now, the Duffer brothers are writing these final episodes.
