    Best quote from Stranger Things: Die Reise ins Upside Down

    “

    Stranger Things ist unterm Strich eine Geschichte über das Erwachsenwerden unter extremsten Bedingungen: Man kann nicht zurück zur Kindheit, sondern muss lernen, mit den Narben erwachsen zu werden.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Das klassische Upside Down, wie man es aus der ersten Staffel kennt, ist eine eingefrorene Kopie von Hawkins am Stand des 6. November 1983. Der „Abyss“ (oder Dimension X) hingegen ist der Ur-Zustand dieser Parallelwelt, den Henry Creel vorfand, als er 1979 dorthin verbannt wurde. Es ist ein Ort aus reinem Chaos, rotem Nebel und fliegenden Felsen, den Henry erst mit seinem Willen geformt und durch den Mind Flayer strukturiert hat.

    Laut der im Skript besprochenen Analyse ist das Upside Down in dem exakten Moment eingefroren, als Eleven am 6. November 1983 den ersten Kontakt zum Demogorgon herstellte und damit das Tor öffnete. Aus diesem Grund konserviert die Dimension diesen spezifischen Zeitpunkt; spätere Veränderungen in der realen Welt, wie neue Gebäude oder moderne Technik, existieren dort nicht.

    Musik fungiert in der Serie als eine Art akustische Rettungsleine oder Anker. Da Vecna seine Opfer in einer psychischen Trance (auf einer mentalen Ebene) angreift und ihre Traumata ausnutzt, hilft die Lieblingsmusik den Betroffenen, sich zu erden und den Weg zurück in die Realität zu finden. Ein prominentes Beispiel ist Max, die durch den Song „Running Up That Hill“ von Kate Bush Vecnas Zugriff entkommen konnte.

    Das Finale spielt mit der Fan-Theorie, dass alles nur ein Spiel sei, nutzt dies aber eher als erzählerischen Rahmen zur Verarbeitung der Erlebnisse. Mike fungiert am Ende als Dungeon Master, der die Geschichte von Eleven und dem Kampf gegen das Böse wie einen Epilog erzählt. Es bleibt jedoch ein realer Kern bestehen: Die Bedrohung wird als ein Muster beschrieben, das sich über Generationen legt, symbolisiert durch Mikes Schwester Holly, die am Ende ihr eigenes D&D-Abenteuer beginnt.
