"According to the theory, dubbed Conformity Gate, the Stranger Things finale's happy ending was just an illusion created by the villain, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). The forty-minute epiloguelikely designed to give fans enough time to feel closure at the endwas just one big fake out. There's still one more episode, they argue, that will answer all their questions and set everything right in their minds."
"After all, there's no reason to suggest that there's another secret Stranger Things finale. At the end of Stranger Things season 5, episode 8, Vecna is defeated, the world is saved, and we see glimpses of everyone's lives in the future. Still, a petition on Change.org demanding that Netflix release the real finale has reached over 400,000 signatures and counting."
"The extra in the top left holds a blank sign with nothing written on it. After perusing through TikTok and Reddit, Conformity Gate mostly feels like fans are grasping a lot of straws. Fans are mostly holding on to bizarre numerology theories, letters on Dungeons & Dragons binders spelling out X A LIE if you read it in a very particular way, and several continuity errors."
Many Stranger Things fans on TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram claim that the season 5 finale’s happy ending was an illusion manufactured by Vecna, a theory labeled Conformity Gate. The theory contends that the forty-minute epilogue was staged to give viewers closure while a secret, unreleased episode will reveal the truth. Supporters point to perceived continuity errors, cryptic numerology, and Dungeons & Dragons binder lettering that can be read as X A LIE. A Change.org petition demanding release of the purported real finale has surpassed 400,000 signatures. Netflix has not confirmed another episode and only updated its Instagram bio.
