Nor does it prevent Chrissy’s boyfriend, Jason, from rounding up a hunting party to enact vigilante justice when he feels that the police aren’t doing their jobs. The only real evidence against Eddie is that Chrissy was killed in his trailer, but that doesn’t stop the crack team that is the Hawkins Police Department from naming him as the prime suspect. The main suspect is Eddie Munson, the leader of Hawkins High School’s official D&D club, and the Dungeon Master who was running the campaign. The fourth season has chosen to focus on the “ satanic panic” of the ’80s, which primarily centered around the popularity of D&D. The third season perfectly encapsulated the grandeur and allure of the local mall (an aspect of my childhood I sorely miss – New York City doesn’t really have the space). One thing I’ve always felt that Stranger Things did exceptionally well was to capture the overall vibe of the 1980s. By the end of the first episode, Chrissy has been killed. ![]() During “The Hellfire Club”, she seems agitated and jumpy Max spots her coming out of the counselor’s office looking upset, and later when Chrissy is in the woods, she startles at every sound. Based on the dialogue during the visions, and given how Max finds Chrissy being ill in the bathroom at school, it seems that Chrissy has body image issues. Vecna’s first victim in Hawkins is cheerleader Chrissy, who is tormented by visions of her mother. It’s an extremely gruesome way to die, and I really feel that Stranger Things upped its horror quotient with this season. ![]() In the world of Upside Down, Vecna uses psychological attacks to torment his victims before breaking all of their bones and removing their eyes. Vecna is considered one of the greatest villains in D&D he also happens to be the main antagonist in the campaign Mike and Dustin are playing in the first episode, “The Hellfire Club”. The new big bad from the Upside Down in Stranger Things 4 is a creature that the boys have dubbed Vecna. I do think that the Russia subplot dragged a bit, and we didn’t spend nearly as much time in California as I would have liked (please give Will and Jonathan more to do in Volume 2), but otherwise the pacing was fairly well balanced between the different locations. Each episode in Volume 1 is longer than in previous seasons, but they didn’t feel long. And, of course, the core group back in Hawkins finds themselves facing off against a new big bad.įor the most part, I think the show handled the three separate plotlines well. Joyce and Murray journey to Russia in hopes of saving Hopper. Mike is visiting El and Will in California on spring break. Our characters are separated for the entirety of Stranger Things 4 Volume 1. ![]() Spoiler Warning: This review of Stranger Things 4 Volume 1 contains spoilers. ![]() But by the end of the first episode of Volume 1, we learn that nothing has really changed in Hawkins after a cheerleader is brutally murdered by a mysterious assailant. The Byers family, along with Eleven, have relocated to California. Courtesy of Netflix © 2022 Stranger Things 4 Volume 1 returns us to a very different Hawkins, Indiana.
