Part 7/13:
Music plays a significant role in Stranger Things, with the trailer’s use of Deep Purple’s song adding to its nostalgic appeal. The performers’ transformations are also discussed—actors like David Harbour (Hopper) and others now look considerably older, a visual reminder of the passage of time.
Characters like Eleven and Max have grown significantly, and the nostalgia surrounding their past selves is mixed with a sense of loss. The show’s ability to revisit certain themes—such as friendship and heroism—remains intact, but viewers acknowledge how much the cast has matured.
