The first part of the final season of Stranger Things is here and fans aren’t holding back on their reactions.
After waiting four years to return to the Upside Down, viewers bombarded Netflix on Wednesday when the first four episodes dropped (they even crashed the streamer initially). And between Vecna‘s new look, Will Byers’ glow up and that epic final scene in episode four, fans are rightfully going through all the emotions.
Ahead of the Volume 1 releases, the Duffer Brothers admitted to The Hollywood Reporter that fan reactions are one of their favorite parts of releasing a project.
“One of the things that’s so exciting about the show is we’re surprised constantly by the reactions,” Matt Duffer said. “We think we know what are going to be the big moments, what fans will react to, and sometimes we’re right and sometimes we’re wrong. But then there are often surprises, going back to season o

It appears some fans are less terrified of Vecna this season and are actually more envious of the villain’s new “snatched” look this season. After he made his grand return in episode four of the new season, viewers were rapid to take to social media to point out the notable differences in his physique from last season, with some jokingly blaming the viral weight loss medication Ozempic for the changes.
“I think vecna along with the rest of the world, got hooked on ozempic in the last 3 years.Check out that snatched waist,” one user wrote on X, while another person added “Vecna got on that Ozempic shit between seasons 4-5 or mother fucking inflation happenin in the upside down too.”
And there are many more similar comments where those came from. While fans are eating up Vecna’s new appearance, Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays the villain, recently explained to ScreenRant the reason for his much more skeletal frame this season.
He said it’s “partly a byproduct” of suffering a fall and being almost burnt alive in season four by the Hawkins gang,”and also just having spent more time not in the human world,as it were. He’s become more resentful and just hideous within that process, and the part of the world in which he was thrown into.”

Will Byers left that bowl cut in the past and has officially moved to heartthrob status. Aside from the epic Volume 1 finale, which saw Will gain his own powers (more on that later), fans also couldn’t get over his new look.
“Will Byers being extremely hot at the end of Stranger Things is not something I was expecting, but I’m sure not complaining,” one user wrote on X. Another person also commented“Stranger things this that but someone tell me how did Will byers turn so hot by the end of 4th ep.”
The final moments of “Chapter Four: Sorcerer” were a specific highlight for viewers, leading to quite a number of fan edits of Will Byers on TikTok.
While there’s no doubt that Noah Schnapp’s character leveled up this season, just based on his newfound powers alone, it’s also safe to say he got a glow-up appearance-wise. And that’s likely partly due to just maturity, as Schnapp was 11 years old when he started Stranger Things in 2016 and he’s now 21.
