As Stranger Things heads into the ultimate finale, things between ‘Jim Hopper’ and ‘Eleven’ seem a little salty and ready to implode, after ‘Hopper’s’ attempted suicidal sacrifice in Season 5 Volume I. Though he claimed it was just a “failsafe”, ‘Eleven’ was not convinced, and her distrust has lingered into the next round of episodes. While the tension carries forward into Volume II, let’s see if ‘Hopper’s’ fear of losing ‘Eleven’ and the growing tension will impact the upcoming finale.
Will ‘Jim Hopper’s’ fear of losing ‘Eleven’ shape the finale?
There have been several fan theories about how the Stranger Things finale might go. From one of the main characters sacrificing themselves to ‘Vecna’, straight up having a change of heart, we have more stories lined up than we can count. Amid that, the Duffer Brothers have hinted that the father-daughter tension will impact the finale. Especially after ‘Eight’ tried to convince ‘Eleven’ to participate in a plan that might lead to her demise. Matt Duffer, in a chat with PEOPLE, was quoted as saying:
“It’s just a dynamic that we really wanted to explore, which is this dynamic of a parent and their child, who’s actually no longer really a child anymore, is actually a young adult, becoming an adult — and how do you deal with that? How do you deal with letting them go, giving them independence, when, especially Hopper, feels protective of her?”
