Water theory may annoy me if it turns out to be true, but I wouldnt be mad at it.
Should be timestamped, by 4:45. Theory is water may be a weakness for Vecna/demogoden like it was for the aliens in signs. On top of the info at the timestamp he mentions the demogorgen not bothering to check the bath water where holly and her mom was hiding. It also may explain how the mom was able to fend off the demogorgen as long as she did with the wine bottle. Wine is mostly water.


Sidenote on the demogorgens ignoring bullets. How the hell did young will shooting a demogorgen seemingly hurt/stun them more than military guys blasting it repeatedly :dahell:

‘Stranger Things 5’ Turns Netflix Upside Down With Record-Breaking Premiere Week​

'Stranger Things 5' ratings


EXCLUSIVE: Stranger Things 5 is off to a monstrous start with the biggest premiere week ever for an English-language series on Netflix.
The first four episodes, which debuted on November 26, catapulted the latest season of the Duffer Brothers‘ supernatural drama to No. 1 on the weekly TV rankings with 59.6M global views. :damn: That bests the premiere-week record previously held by Wednesday Season 1, which accumulated roughly 56M views in its first four days. The second season of Squid Game still holds the all-time premiere-week record with 68M views.

It is worth noting that Stranger Things 5 debuted on Wednesday night (5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET), as opposed to Thursday at midnight eastern as with the other shows mentioned above, so it did have a few more hours to rack up views. It’s hard to say how much this might have impacted the totals, though considering Stranger Things 5 and Wednesday are only a few million views apart, it could’ve made the difference.

In addition to the latest season, all four previous seasons of Stranger Things entered the weekly Top 10, which is a first for Netflix. The first season was at No. 3 (8.9 million views), Season 4 at No. 5 (6.1 million views), Season 2 at No. 6 (5.6 million views), and Season 3 at No. 8 (4.6 million views). The streamer says that, since Season 1 debuted in 2016, Stranger Things has tallied 1.2B combined views.

“We are completely overwhelmed by the fan response to this season. It means the world to us, and we know it means just as much to the thousands of cast and crew who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into bringing this story to life,” Matt and Ross Duffer said in a statement to Deadline. “We’d like to give a special shout-out to all the fans who kept the flame alive during the long lead-up to release — through word of mouth, on social media, in fan art, rewatches, and in the thousands of unforgettable moments we and the cast have shared with you around the world. Your passion didn’t just inspire us; it helped bring a new generation of fans into the world of Stranger Things.

Will Stranger Things 5 Make the Most Popular List?

This debut performance primes Stranger Things 5 to easily make it onto Netflix’s all time most popular list. The Night Agent and Fool Me Once are currently tied with 98.2M views in ninth and tenth place, respectively.

Since there are four new episodes on the way at the end of the month, it seems safe to say that Stranger Things 5 will blow right past these — and likely the entire bottom half of the Top 10 as it currently stands. Wednesday still holds onto first place with 252M views in its 91-day premiere window.

Whether the final season of Stranger Things has enough juice to finally take that title after three years remains to be seen, though it is entirely possible. For split releases, the 91-day premiere window resets with the release of each volume, meaning that the series has until 91 days post-finale to solidify its place on the all-time rankings.
The response to Stranger Things 5 is all the more impressive given its been more than three years since any new episodes of the show were released. A lengthy hiatus such as that generally results in waning audience interest. The fact that, in this case, it did not pretty firmly cements the series’ cultural cache.
