Did Eleven Save Max From Vecna in &#8216;Stranger Things&#8217; 4? Fan Theory Explains the Possibility

It has been almost a week since Stranger Things has been streaming globally on
Netflix. So naturally, when almost 7 billion people stream a show, only one
thing can happen next: theories. Thousands of theories for Stranger Things
season 4 have started to pour in and have completely taken over the
internet. Now some of these theories are too far-fetched to be true. However, a
theory has come up about Max and her miraculous escape from Vecna’s trance. And
it does sound convincing.

Let us see what the theory was.


DID ELEVEN SAVE MAX IN STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4?

One of the most thrilling and nerve-wracking moments of season 4 was Max
escaping Vecna’s curse

It not only established the medium of defeating a previously unbeatable villain
but also gave us a look at Max in a way we had never seen her before.

However, a fan of the show has posted a theory about the victory of Max over
Vecna, [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/vecna/] and she is suggesting that it was
actually Eleven who saved her.

The argument that the fan has put forward is that music as such did not have
much of an effect on Vecna/01. But it was the fact that 01 was still afraid of
El, and the last memory that flashed in Max’s mind was of her friends El’s.

So it could be possible that seeing El made Vecna scared, giving Max a chance to
save her life.

The fan also mentioned that it could be possible that music might not have such
a great effect on Vecna as everyone is thinking. Because according to the fan,
when Vecna was about to kill his dad, he got unconscious and not because music
had anything to do with it.

The theory certainly has a base to it as it was indeed El who banished 01 to
Upside Down after he betrayed her

Maybe this theory will become clearer when Stranger Things
