 What's going on guys welcome back to channel critical overload here's you're talking about stranger things season 4 in this video here again today talking About the character of Vecna who has been positioned to be like the big bad of the upcoming season now We're going to be talking about to create Montgomery to start off with I've seen people talk about who This character could be the great Montgomery many weeks ago earlier in the year before the trailer for the fourth season Is even out post of this on Instagram? So a lot of people think that this means that Billy is gonna be Vecna in the upcoming season because he has this caption Caption photo on Instagram saying coming soon now me personally. I think that if he was actually Vecna They would have told him to take this down and that is not to say that the Kray won't return his Billy in the fourth season I just don't think he's Vecna, but I do get where people are coming from with that idea And then they also just have had an interview recently talking with IGN talking about some of the inspirations for the upcoming season And they're big bad as you see here on your screen here would you get is Vecna Vecna We know will be just another name that's been inspired by Dungeons and Dragons I think that's literally the name from Dungeons and Dragons that they just taken and now made it for the villain in Stranger Things season 4 our new big bad Where they explained their inspirations for it talked about nightmare on Elm Street and how they want to pay homage and kind of like Create their own Pennywise Freddy Krueger all that stuff So we also know that the another another thing people have been considering is that Vecna is actually Victor Crowell who I think that's his name portrayed by Robert England who joined the series this season and Given that they have already talked about the nightmare in Elm Street inspirations and the Fact that there's a house that seems like it's gonna be very much Of course if nightmare in Elm Street like in the sense that something went on in that house and that house has a lot of History to it and kind of like the Elm Street house from nightmare in Elm Street now you have the Crowell house I just think it's too obvious in the sense of who Vecna could be now I'm not saying it can't be Robert England, but of course Robert England a big bad of your series That's too easy to just have it be Robert England And I do I do understand again where people are coming from with the whole idea of Billy being Vecna the Kramer gummies post and the fact that Billy himself and Billy himself and Vecna Do seem to have an interest in max this season and they have made it clear that max is gonna be a big part of the season So I get where people are coming from there as it pertains to whether or not Billy is gonna be Vecna or not I just don't think that Vecna will end up being Billy or Crowell Victor Crowell I think that Vecna will end up being someone that we're not considering someone we haven't met yet But if it ends up being one of those two then I guess you were right But I'm going off of the trailers we've seen and the fact that I know that they've made it clear This is very max heavy this season I think that's why a lot of people are associating it with the fact that Vecna is just gonna be Billy and Going over something they said in the IG interview they said so much of this season is about max We open the season with her struggling with her grief and her trying to navigate that and max on the other hand Is also someone who doesn't really open up to people so a lot of what she's dealing with she's struggling with internally She shut a lot of people out which makes it even much more difficult So this is course would be dealing with the grief related to Billy I think in between season three and four six months have passed since Billy's death in the season three So I again understand where you're coming from I just don't think that it's going to be that easy to create Montgomery Of course would be be great in the role but going off of the even the voice even doesn't seem like it's going to be To create Montgomery as Vecna They talked about the inspiration how they said they wanted to do characters that was similar to the horror figures that Terrified them growing up from Freddy Krueger to pinhead to penny wise So again knowing that Robert England literally Freddy Krueger himself is in the series I don't think that you're going to then follow up with a season heavily inspired by nightmare and elm street Having nightmare and elm street figurehead face of the franchise the iconic horror villain himself Freddy Krueger Robert England in your series and then also make him your villain Vecna I don't think it's going to be that easy Vecna is someone who clearly has a lot of powers It seems that they're associated with the upside down It seems there's a lot of manipulation either going on with time or people's memories And either dream sequences that they can just cause people to hallucinate midday Again, just something that seems to be very much heavily influenced by nightmare and elm street So they're they're definitely tackling tapping into the horror elements here Vecna from what I have seen And considering some of the trailers and teasers that came out earlier in the years that we got in between season 3 and 4 Coming out in a couple weeks Vecna seems to have some type of ties to 11 mentally Bobby Brown's character and what I mean is I'm just thinking about the fact that they already made it clear that we're going back to the upside down The upside down is going to be heavily heavily involved this time around And there's going to be a reappearance from Hawkins lab According to some of the teasers that came out earlier when we got those little mini teasers showing the first Of course that hopper was alive and we saw it looks like Dr. Brenner will be back And just going off of Vecna's appearance alone the fact that he's very human in nature Makes me think that again, this is somebody we're not considering And it has something to do with Hawkins lab It has something to do with 11 mentally Bobby Brown's character The fact that this is a big bad who is like one of the most distinct humanoid figures we've gotten Has me thinking that Hawkins lab and Vecna are connected in the sense that Vecna is just number one You know how they have those things on their risk number 11. We've met number eight in season two. We know Jane 11 is number 11 as we saw the tattoo on her wrist many times in this series There is a teaser that was released that showed who I'm assuming is 11 Playing in the rainbow room with another child now in this theory of mind I'm saying that this is basically going to be Vecna Vecna is number one This would explain all the capabilities this humanoid creature seems to have in the upside down It might not even be the upside down all the way Maybe it's something that relates to a different plane that's separate from the upside down and somehow it's impacting Hawkins How it's connected to Victor Crowell in the Crowell house that I don't know But I'm pretty convinced that Vecna will end up being number one And it'll be somebody from the past of 11 that she has forgotten about that she spent time with in in Hawkins lab And they'll explore that further in the upcoming four season. It just seems like that's the direction They're going to take and it's not going to be something as easy as it being Billy back from from from the beyond the grave talking to max and I get there because max is a big focus That's where most people are drawing that that that correlation from but that just seems too easy Most of this season seems like it's going to be heavily related to uncovering more things with the kids from Hawkins lab who were involved with mk ultra and tying that into more of a 11 centric narrative outside of it just being Being focused on max 11 and her connection to this is probably going to be more prevalent in the sense that She's probably dealing with Vecna because Vecna is number one That's who I think Vecna will end up being someone who broke out of the lab and ended up in the upside down But let me know what you guys think about that down in the comment section below if you're having a question Make sure you subscribe turn on post notification never miss a video in the description I link some social media accounts on facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there of course There's any movies and those are views you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
