+ like him. max doesn’t just break stuff, that’s how her brother was. there’s many things that are weirdly different , like the ring in the epilogue is the exact ring that was left to be blown up in the upside down. the graduation, dustin’s speech was exactly what eddie said he was going to do, which mike was there to hear. the dial thing idk what it’s called, changed from blue to red— there’s no way that was not intentional.

ALSO, everyone in the graduation is siting the exact same way, like henry. they literally look creepy asf. mike is given the same haircut as henry in the epilogue too.

while playing dnd in s4, eddie says vecna loses his left arm, his left eye, and then says vecna was dead. then proceeds to say “or so we thought” and “vecna lives” el says mike does “get to write the ending” but then he literally ends up doing exactly that. weird. max says while playing dnd “that’s it? comfort and happiness? could you be more trite?” kind of making fun of the fact all of the characters got “happy endings” that mike wrote. the entire 5th season, it’s repeated so so so many +

+ sorry im half asleep i forgot to mention that in ep4, mike is the first one to notice vecna. when mike saw him, there is that clock sound from season 4 when vecna was going after people.
