Stranger Things always had its name for killing the fan favorites, be it Bob or Billy or Alexei and now undoubtedly Eddie Munson will have this Golden Crown to his name.
Future of Stranger Things:
This is not the end of Stranger Things but as Vecna says it’s theBeginning of the End. The show will have its fifth season as the final chapter in its name. The ending of Season 4 also presents us that Vecna hasn’t died but got hurt and will surely retaliate against all of them and this time our heroes will have a tougher time defeating him.
