STRANGER THINGS 5 FANART POSTER "Fight for what you love at all costs"

[lokis-bitter-ghost]

interesting how i see two pictures of byler... 🤔

[smellslikesadgaychildren]

I see you duffer brothers! I see you!!

[sweeturis]

where was the scene where noah had to be “harnessed up”? where was the scene with lucas, mike, and will wearing winter jackets? where was lonnie, since his car was in the california poster? where was kali and her gang, since they’ve been seen in bts pics? where was the mike finn described, who was “trying to be as normal as possible and keep on a normal path” and “might be into some new things”?

i am genuinely so confused. it’s like they cut out half the scenes they filmed.

I know it's sort of on the nose (eye), but...

Let's talk about the heart(s).

I realize a lot of fans dismissed this as reaching recently, and so everyone sort of shut up about it, but I can't let it go. Especially when acknowledging what is literally happening on the show itself aka YOU'RE THE HEART, has convinced me that none of this is reaching. In fact, I'm certain that the heart imagery in the California poster(s) was intentional and intended to foreshadow requited Byler in ST5!

HEAR ME OUT!

The Duffers, when asked about the significance of the s4 posters, got excited, saying that it was indeed foreshadowing done by marketing, only to shut up instantly, steering the conversation elsewhere.

A little bit before season 4 actually premiered, fans got these posters as promotion and started noticing the hearts in the trees fairly quickly. So, this isn’t something that was only recently discovered well after s4 premiered. No, this was something fans caught onto way before 'you're the heart' was even a concept we were aware of. And I think there's a reason for that, in that it was foreshadowing what was still yet to come.

So, for starters, look at each of these trees individually…

They all look like your basic, run-of-the-mill palm trees. They have texture to them, which makes them fairly unique like trees often are. They were designed for the eye to instantly qualify them as trees.

These TWO below on the other hand, follow a different formula.

These trees look like hearts, point blank. They are much more defined into a shape than they are meant to look like realistic trees.

One heart is on the left and one heart is on right in this poster (smack dab where the rule of thirds lies, might I add). The left heart is a little bigger and therefore easier for the eye to catch first, while the heart on the right is a little smaller and therefore harder to notice, but it’s there.

Now get ready, because what actually sort of sealed the deal for me, is that it’s obvious these two trees, are the exact same.

Here you can see I reverted the right heart horizontally, and yep... They’re the same. Even down to the little detail of the small tree accompanying both of them. You can clearly see they are the same image, just copy/pasted, shrunk a little smaller and reverted horizontally.

So what does this all mean…?

Well, a couple weeks after Vol. 2 dropped on July 1st, after rewatching the van scene a bajillion times, numerous fans started to notice a heart shape in the light of Will’s eye. And once you saw it, you couldn’t unsee it, especially in edits that enhanced the quality of the scene and made it even more prominent than how it looked in the show.

But the thing is, the heart doesn’t stay there the entire time in Will's eye. There’s moments where it’s bright and clear as day, and theres other moments where it's just barely visible. And I think that was probably necessary, otherwise it would have been a little too obvious. But it's still just subtle enough, and within the context of the conversation literally happening on screen, YOU'RE THE HEART!, that it's... wow. It's beautiful.

Even more interestingly, similar to the posters, while there is a more prominent heart on the left, that being the heart in Will's eye in this scene, his heart is also accompanied by a second heart to the right, which is also slightly less obvious, but it’s there, and it's in Mike’s eye.

There’s moments where it’s bursting or, to even fit the context of the scene, ‘falling apart” (it quite literally falls apart the moment Will says those exact words).

Yes, Mike's heart is a little smaller, it's less distinguishable. And there's times when you can't really see it at all, just like Will's, but it's there, all while Mike looks, dare I say it, in love?!?

The van scene took over half a day to film, and a lot of evidence points to the fact that there is way more going on in this scene than meets the eye. (Like the fact that Will's monologue in the van parallels perfectly to Mike's monologue at surfer boy pizza...)

"I know it's sort of on the nose"

NO ITS LITERALLY ON THE EYES, YOU EVIL GENIUSES!

This, on top of everything else???? Like, Byler is so inevitable at this point, there’s seriously no room for doubts anymore.

I also want to add that, fans noticed Lonnie (Will's dad)'s car in the background of the main Cali poster, and we also know the actor who played him attended the table read for season 4. Which means that this poster has another element to it that confirms it's indeed foreshadowing what is still yet to come in season 5, not just season 4... So it's not a reach to theorize about the significance here of Mike, clearly walking towards Will, while everyone else is walking forwards. After all season 4 was just the beginning of the end. And the posters are confirmed to have hints pointing towards endgame...

Obey your master.

[zooperspy]

I can’t wait to see Will looking around Mike’s room in season 5 and seeing his own drawings on the wall along with a sexy ass dragon and the one way sign pointing towards the closet

Drew this right after S4 ended!

It was a lineless “painting” test, I think I’ll stick with lineart but it was certainly a fun experiment.

guys not to make theories because I'm not smart but i have some things to to say about this fucking poster specifically Lucas and Erica bc I haven't seen anyone talk about them yet,,, Erica's holding a green arrow which i think is either supposed to parallel Wills green fire balls, or maybe the weird green liquid from season three she found, maybe it has some kind of special ability and they use it to fight vecna?? ALso Lucas is riding a horse and Erica has a horse on her shirt so like r we getting a sinclair sibling horse girl arc? pls say yes bc they deserve it. ALSO Erica wasn't in the painting originally?? Its interesting that she was added instead of like El or something idk i hope that it means she'll have a big role in season 5 bc i love her lol. ok thats all like none of it made sense but lemme know your thoughts lol

Crack theory: Episode titles rumored for previous seasons, that ended up being false, were actually foreshadowing s5 episode titles
