Among other theories, a unique theory suggests that ‘Vecna’, whom everyone considers the primary villain on the show throughout the five seasons, may not actually be the true source of evil in the show.
Instead, there could be a hidden, darker mastermind throughout the show, whose identity might have been trustworthy. Ahead of the release of upcoming episodes, here’s the truth behind the viral possibility claim.
Is ‘Vecna’ not the real villain of Stranger Things Season 5?
According to a rapidly spreading theory on the internet and Reddit, some netizens have speculated that Upside Down’s most terrifying figure, ‘Vecna,’ might not truly be the show’s final boss or villain. Instead, they believe that he might be secretly a puppet controlled by a more powerful force.
