Spoilers below for those who haven’t seen it yet. Strange thingsSeason 4 finale, so proceed with caution on the Upside-Down.
After being going through the wringer physically and mentally altogether Strange thingsIn season four, David Harbor’s Jim Hopper finally found a taste of freedom in the 142-minute finale, allowing him a tearful reunion with the not-so-worn XI from Millie Bobby Brown’s battle. However, given the hell he’s been through before, it’s understandable that series creators Matt and Ross Duffer want to give the character a great moment of victory to unleash his pent-up aggression. But I’m not sure anyone would have predicted that it would involve a prop-based recall for one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most classic films .
As fans will no doubt remember, Strange thingsThe Season 4 finale, “The Piggyback,” featured Hopper and Joyce’s prison breakout team taking on the monstrous task of tracking down the Demogorgons within the Russian facility. Sure, it was easy when Murray’s flamethrower worked flawlessly, but once it exploded, Hopper had one last face-to-face with one of the Upside Down Beasts, cutting off his dirty head with that of the previously discontinued swords. the pit And here lies the essence of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
David Harbor enthusiastically explained to the British HQ that Hopper’s sword used to bring down this Demogorgon is a Hollywood relic. In his words:
I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but this sword I collected is the real sword they used in Conan the Barbarian. This is the sword that Schwarzenegger wields in the film.
It’s as crazy as you can imagine, at least in terms of pure luck. Okay, it sounded pretty specific Strange things‘creative team to set up this sequence that goes from Natalia Dyer’s Nancy using a shotgun to shoot Vecna in Upside-Down and Hopper showing her sword skills in Russia. So, at least in this sense, it’s not that surprising to hear that the sword had more underlying meaning than the other weapons used in the episode.
Considering Conan the Barbarian was released in the United States in May 1982, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first hit could have been seen and enjoyed by Hopper and others Strange things characters. Despite Conan It’s not technically in the realm of science fiction and horror that the Netflix series usually pays homage to. like season 4 Star Wars consent for example, anything cool and suitable for 80’s toys is applicable.
It would also have been great if Hopper had used a support sword from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? Definitely, even though it first premiered in 1990 and was shot after the show’s timeline so far. However, if there has ever been a show staged for tons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles references, it is Strange things. I strongly believe that most of these characters (at least those familiar with D&D) will become in bad taste with TMNT when comics, cartoons and movies arrive.
Either way, as incredible as it may seem to hear that Hopper beheaded a Demogorgon with an iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger prop, I can’t imagine how hot and upset he was. Strange things the public would be yes Fan favorite survivor Steve Harrington I was swinging at Conan-Season 5 inspired dress and abs, with or without sword. However, perhaps after these demonstrations, the bat bite wounds heal sooner. And while we’re fantasizing about things, who are we talking about Joe Kerry’s election? only in development Conan TV show ?
