Pop culture, chaos, and my unsolicited opinions — let’s get into it.

Okay, buckle up. Stranger Things fans, I need you to follow me here. Everyone’s busy obsessing over Eleven and Max — and yes, they’re doing their hero thing — but the real twist no one’s talking about? Will Byers.

Hear me out:
1. The Horcrux Theory: Vecna needs a vessel, right? What if that vessel has been under everyone’s noses this whole time? Cue Will Byers — traumatized, tortured, and yet somehow walking around like nothing happened. Classic Horcrux energy.
2. Eleven as the Exorcist: While the gang’s off fighting literal monsters, Eleven is basically doing the priest/exorcist thing, purging Vecna from Will — who, in true Frodo style, survives but is forever scarred.
3. Max is the Kink in the Armor: Let’s be real. She’s trapped in Vecna’s mind, which makes her the ultimate wild card. Will survives physically, but his psychic baggage? That’s Eleven’s problem.

And here’s where I get really spicy: nobody’s talking about how this makes the finale basically a D&D/LOTR/Harry Potter crossover. Yes, I said it.

Look, I could mansplain this for hours (and I just might), but the takeaway is: Will Byers is quietly the most important character in the series, and people are missing it because they’re too busy shipping Max and Eleven.

Thoughts? Disagree? Want me to dive deeper? Drop your theories below — but be warned, I will mansplain them.
