&#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; Season 5 Set Inspires a Flurry of Theories, as &#8216;Karate Kid&#8217; and &#8216;Batman&#8217; Make an Appearance

Since the shooting began for Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] season 5, the anticipation has
been heightened. Not to mention, pictures from the set have been adding to the
hype as fans dissect every single detail to know more about the culmination of
events. The world has waited long to know how things go for the Hawkins gang
while the Upside Down has taken over their city. Until the show sets its foot on
the OTT giant, fans have occupied themselves with speculations and theories, as
new glimpses from the set make their way.

A new sneak peek of the Stranger Things season 5 set surfaced on X, formerly
Twitter. The picture featured a retro cinema with movies like Batman and Karate
Kid 3 listed on the board. Fans instantly noted and assumed that this scene
might take place in 1989 because both films came in the same timeline. “Stranger
things 5 spoiler set? If so, Then they must be in 1989! Because of these
movies!” read the caption.

Seeing this, fans have come up with new theories about this depiction of films

FANS CURATE NEW THEORIES FOR STRANGER THINGS SEASON 5

It is by far no secret that fans have always loved making assumptions about the
storyline of the horror drama. Since the Duffer Brothers have maintained silence
on how things would turn out in the fifth and final season, fans rely on these
glimpses. Some fans wondered if this was one of the ending scenes where Max and
Lucas go to watch a movie together. Others presumed that the season might have
done the time jump.
