Are they on the polar reverse a part of the planet and journey days and days simply to go assault some children in Indiana? Do they only die after the Thoughts Flayer is destroyed?
In response to Matt Duffer, the writers did provide you with a scene the place we would see a number of the different creatures. “They had been going to return throughout an enormous area of demo eggs in sort of an ‘Aliens’ factor, however you’ll be able to’t get all of your concepts in there,” he stated. Along with time constraints, Duffer blames absolutely the and whole lack of non-Vecna and non-Thoughts Flayer creatures on “demo fatigue.”
“I felt like we did every thing we needed to do with them in [the last episode of the first part of the season] and wanting to maintain the deal with Vecna and the Thoughts Flayer, who’s been absent this season,” the co-showrunner stated. There you might have it.
