About this deal

Henry was jettisoned to a strange inter-dimensional space beyond the human world. For an indeterminate period of time, he fell between two parallel planes, marked by mountainous terrain and raging storms; he was constantly electrocuted by lightning leaping across the twin planes. The mutilation inflicted by the lightning strikes marked the beginning of a bodily transformation; from this point on, Henry slowly morphed into a form no longer recognizable as human. [8] Like the Demogorgon, the Upside Down was designed by Aaron Sims Creative. In early development, there was consideration of time changes between the Upside Down and the regular world. Meaning, if it was daytime in Hawkins, it would've been nighttime in the other dimension and vice versa. In the end, they chose an all around dark, nightmarish design. [31] One miniseries, Stranger Things: Tales from Hawkins, takes an anthology format and follows different characters in each issue.

Spores filled the atmosphere of the Upside Down, perpetually drifting through the air. After the Mothergate opened at Hawkins Lab, spores began to float in the corridors. The spores were also present in the tunnels. A growth found on the ceiling of the tunnels could produce a sort of “spore-spray”. This spray appears to be highly toxic, as Hopper collapsed almost immediately after he was sprayed directly in the face, and vomited at least twice. The existence of the Upside Down has been a source of fascination and horror for nearly all of the characters on Stranger Things. Introduced in season 1, it became evident thanks to the disappearance of Will Byers (and Barb later on) that this alternate dimension is inhospitable to humans and should be avoided at all costs. In season 2, Hopper was clued into the possibility the Upside Down was seeping into his world, affecting plants and animals in the immediate area. As such, it was established that, should the Upside Down successfully bleed into our world, it would prove fatal for all human, plant, and animal life.

When Vecna first entered the Upside Down, he wandered the wasteland until he came across a living cloud of dark mist, which was a primitive form of the Mind Flayer. Vecna, who absorbs beings’ consciousnesses and resultantly feeds off their power, knew he had stumbled upon exactly what he needed to exact his revenge on the world: Da ich ein großer Fan der Serie "Stranger Things" bin und nicht nur sämtliche Staffeln gesehen, sondern auch die Vorgeschichten gelesen habe, mussten auch nun die Graphic Novels gelesen werden. Den Anfang macht hierbei der erste Band "Die andere Seite". In the first part of season 4, Dustin guessed that Vecna was the Mind Flayer’s “five-star general,” but it’s actually the other way around. Sometimes there are questions that should just remain unanswered for the greater good. Will Byers’ point of view was a mystery that could have stayed unsolved, leaving the viewers the opportunity to speculate on what he has been through and what was going through his head throughout the whole season. To try to cover all that ground within four issues was already, beforehand, an impossible task, or at least one that would come with severe flaws. In this case, the pacing was the biggest issue as the accelerated rhythm does not allow the reader to truly absorb and comprehend the amount of time Will Byers spends in this dark and sinister realm. The pacing does not also allow the reader to understand how much resilience was needed to fight through all the obstacles he faced. To deliver such a story simply takes away the stakes and gravity of what he goes through, even if it is for the sake of finding out what exactly it is he went through. The team had to work closely with Netflix to figure out on what areas of the world they could expand on. Due to Stranger Things being an ongoing show, they had to tread carefully. [2] Eventually they decided to explore Will’s story. Regarding the decision, Houser explained that "Will was less a character" in the first season and "more of a treasure that the adventuring party was trying to find," and the team wanted to explore the Upside Down from his perspective.

The Upside Down was called the Nether in every season one script and on set" Insider. November 8, 2017.The third target was Max Mayfield, the stepsister of the Flayed's quote-on-quote 'leader', Billy Hargrove. Max was struggling with the loss of Billy, suffering through nightmares where she would re-experience his death. Though Max and Billy had a tumultuous relationship, she felt guilty for wishing for "something to happen to him"; Max's festering grief made her a prime candidate for Vecna's plans. However, unlike Chrissy and Fred, Max and her friends had prior experience grappling with the horrors of the Upside Down. She was Vecna's only victim from this time to have any understanding what was happening to her, and why. When attempting to open gates through this method, Vecna would strategically prey on teenagers with trauma, or experiencing mental health issues. He would go out of his way to psychologically torture his victims, making them experience disturbing and disorienting hallucinations, before ultimately killing them. The victim’s suffering, panic and eventual death seemed to be key to Vecna’s ability to open gates, likely maximizing the strength of the psychic connection. Vecna’s ultimate goal was to open four gates.

Exclusive ‘Stranger Things’ Art Reveals ‘Upside Down’ Secrets and Barb’s Alternate End". Screen Crush. August 22, 2016.Dr. Orlov's time is running out as his children continue their frantic search for him, now aided by a deadly spy known as Mr. Frost. However, Russian agents are determined to impede them and capture Frost no matter the cost. The good doctor finds himself face to face with the monster he has been kidnapped to save.. While speculating the shadow monster's weakness, Lucas, Mike, Dustin, and Max theorized that if they destroyed the monster, they would also destroy the monster's army. When they realized that the shadow monster controlled everything in a hive mind, they compared it to the Mind Flayer, a monster from Dungeons & Dragons that similarly controls the minds of its victims. The boys' D&D manual also stated that the Mind Flayer's goal was to spread and take over other dimensions, making them speculate that the shadow monster wanted to do the same. The group decided to interrogate Will to find the shadow monster's weakness. The Monster, known by some as the Demogorgon, moved through dimensions by creating temporary gates. It began harvesting the bodies of humans and animals, storing them in the Upside Down version of the public library. Around the same time, Hawkins Lab began investigating the Mothergate and discovering exactly what it contained. I was super excited to read this book which contains Stranger Things: The Other Side comics #1-4. Stranger Things is one of my favorite Netflix series (all three seasons), so I grabbed this as soon as I saw it. As far as can be determined, all native biological growth and organisms present in the Upside Down are part of a hive mind made possible through an enormous entity known as the Mind Flayer. Because of this, the entire dimension is virtually a giant superorganism. The entity possessed other creatures by embedding fragments of itself - clouds of particles - inside their bodies. As long as a gate remained open, the Mind Flayer's psychic link to its disembodied fragments would remain. In 1985, the opening of a new gate revitalised a Mind Flayer fragment, which led to the creation of the Mind Flayer's proxy form: a fleshy 30-ft-tall monstrosity, made from the remains of possessed humans.

However, at times, the two-way nature of the psychic connection was also a point of vulnerability. Any pain felt by the connected entities was shared amongst them; the physical suffering of Vecna's thralls would translate to every other being in the hive mind, including Vecna himself. That said, pain inflicted upon the hive mind produced varied effects, affecting creatures differently based on their resistance and strength.Years after escaping Hawkins Lab, two of Dr. Brenner’s former subjects seek to live normal lives. When news reaches them that the lab was shut down they go on a harrowing search for Nine, a powerful pyrokinetic, whose shattered psyche threatens to burn them all to ashes if they can’t find her and free her from her own malevolent imagination. Però, prima di commentare ciò che in quest'ultima stagione hanno vissuto i protagonisti, vi siete mai chiesti cos'è successo a Will durante la sua permanenza nel Sottosopra?
