People have been talking about how we should take our mental health seriously, but I don’t feel like we are taking it seriously. We are just talking about it, but we have seen people who recently seems like their happy take their own life. Even though Stranger Things is about a fictional world in the 80’s being attack by another dimension. the show has a real-life lesson that goes with it. This season’s monster represents people who suffer from anxiety and depression. The monster attacks people who are having a hard time with dealing with life. His first victim is a cheerleader who seems perfect, but she is dying on the inside. We see our favs/celebrities go through this type of anxiety and depression. Where it seems like their life is perfect but, on the inside, they are dying to be just a normal person. His second victim is a nerd who feels bad about something that he couldn’t help with. He played on everybody’s weaknesses. That is what depression and anxiety does to you. It plays on your weaknesses regardless of if it’s the death of someone you love or your guilt for not doing enough for that person. Vecna is not just what children fear. Adult fear him too. I was wondering why it took me so long to start this season because it is a demon so common within today’s society. This season is deeper than you think, and I appreciate the creators of Strangers Things for creatively expressing that.
