Spoilers forStranger Things 4: Part 2as well as guesswork spoilers forStranger Things 5and the rumored spinoff follow.
I came to the Duffer Brothers class in TV writing with the goal of ruiningStranger Thingsfor myself.
The result is that I experience stories likeJobu Tupaki, everything is everywhere all at once.
Do I wish I could justletstoryhappento me?
So, if theofficialMonopolyfor the show can spoil plot details, why not the MasterClass?
But by then, it was midnight and the show itself had dropped on Netflix.
But for trueStranger Thingscompletists, the class offers a lot to think about.
The Duffer brothers MasterClass is a multi-hour experience of twoNate Bargatzesteaching you the art of outlining.
Through them, you get a peek into their (poorly spelled) minds.
Steve (Joe Keery) and Billy (Dacre Montgomery) were originally the same character.
And Ross Duffer didnt like the nameStranger Thingsat all.
It is to those brainstorming docs where those also looking for spoilers should look.
Many ideas that were generated in the brainstorming, a.k.a.
They even write scripts in the style of comic-book narration with lots of ALL CAPS andfont changesfor emphasis.
References to popular conspiracy theories were a major part of theStranger Thingsplanning phase and, later, execution.
This has fallen by the wayside as the show goes on.
And the fourth season takes place in 1986, which means were just a year away from the Iran-Contra.
Plus, these boys researched the JFK conspiracy way too much for it to never even getmentionedon the show.
The Duffers know their shit, conspiratorially, and more of it could leak into theStranger Thingsuniverse.
