Stranger Things: ‘Master of Puppets’ solo hints at Eddie’s future, according to theory

Metallica song would have revealed the future of Joseph Quinn’s character in the production of Netflix

[Atenção: Contém spoilers de Stranger Things]

Since its debut in 2016, Stranger Things has been bringing several songs from the 80s to the present times, reaching a new generation to have contact with artists from the past. This happened with The Clash, The Police, Madonna, Limahl and, more recently, Kate Bush and Metallica.

In addition to the production going viral “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)”an old and forgotten song by Kate Bushthe fourth season also featured “Master Of Puppets” from the band Metallica.

But just as Bush’s choice of music was purposeful to fit in with Max Mayfieldwill the big hit of Metallica will also be important to the Upside Down narrative, especially with the fate of Eddie Munson?

despite the brothers Matt and Ross Duffer have already revealed in previous interviews that the character of Joseph Quinn in fact sacrificed himself for the group, fans of Stranger Things It didn’t take them long to delve deeper into the history of Dungeons and Dragons to create their theories for the series’ final season.


Kas the Traitor

the roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons always had a strong influence on Stranger Things, since all the strange events that happened in Hawkins are related to the fantastic world of D&D by children. In the fourth season it was no different, since the vecna was a name taken from the game and assigned to the villain by Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Eddie.

The villain’s name was first said in the first episode of season 4, when Eddie talk about “The Cult of Vecna”, which would be the reason for the Hellfire Club meeting that would take place at night. In the match, the character tells more about the villain’s past, who was not really defeated by Kas, as mentioned by Mike(Finn Wolfhard).

Just as we found out that Vecna ​​was a very powerful dark magic sorcerer, a little more about Kas was also revealed. He was a vampire who was granted by Vecna ​​himself a sword in order for him to act as his lieutenant and right-hand man. However, Kas was a traitor who tried to kill Vecna ​​with his own weapon.


Master Of Puppets

But after all, as the choice of ‘Master of Puppets’ may have told the end of the story of Stranger Things? The answer lies in the power of Vecna, who is able to control the creatures of the Upside Down.

As the lyrics of Metallica’s song translate to “Master of Puppets”, theories bet that Vecna ​​will have to have a soldier infiltrate Hawkins’ gang to fight by his side, just like Kas in D&D, making Eddie Munson in the “Puppet Master”. Of course, if the character of Quinn returned, doesn’t mean he can be a villain forever.

Another factor that makes the theory of making Eddie Munson in villain, is to take into account that the character is already seen as a satanic man by the citizens of Hawkins, for the supernatural deaths of Chrissy Cunningham (Grace Van Dien), Patrick McKinney (Myles Truitt) and Fred Benson (Logan Riley Bruner), which left the population extremely distressed.


Eddie, Max or Will?

After the events of season four, all eyes are on Eddie Munson, who was killed by the Demobats in the Upside Down. Since Kas is a vampire, it would be convenient if Eddie come back as Vecna’s servant, considering he passed away due to severe bat bites.

However, this theory can be applied to other characters. Starting with Max Mayfield(Sadie Sink)who although she died for a minute in season four, still remains alive in Hawkins hospital, although she is still in a coma.

Dr Brenner(Matthewmodine) says to the Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Vecna ​​consumes everything her victims have to offer, including their minds, which explains why El can’t find Max’s mind.

As such, Vecna ​​would use this power over Max to create her own female soldier to infiltrate Hawkins’ group. But does this character necessarily need to be dead to become Kas?

After all, the theory can also apply to the Will Byers(Noah Schnapp), who in addition to being the host of the Mind Flayer, can still sense the presence of the Upside Down and Vecna, which also makes him a possible candidate to be an infiltrator in the group.
