Stranger Things star shuts down secret episode theory after finale backlash
Stranger Things star gives verdict on ‘Conformity Gate’ theory
- The Netflix series Stranger Things concluded its five-season run on New Year's Day, sparking debate among its fanbase.
- A fan theory, known as 'Conformity Gate', suggests a secret final episode is yet to be released, claiming the shown epilogue was an illusion created by the villain Vecna.
- Jamie Campbell Bower, the actor portraying Vecna, seemingly refuted the theory by stating the final episode was 'the ending the show deserves'.
- Proponents of 'Conformity Gate' cite perceived continuity issues and specific character placements in the epilogue as evidence for their theory.
- Many viewers, however, dismiss 'Conformity Gate' as a coping mechanism for fans who were disappointed with the official ending.
