‘Stranger Things’ Star Caleb McLaughlin Says Secret Episode Fan Theory Was “Dumb”: “The show is done, guys. It’s been 10 years. We were full-on kids, and now we’re full-on adults, and we don’t need any more of us.”

McLaughlin:
>”At first, I thought the “Conformity Gate” theory was dumb. I get that people want to live in this optimistic place of, “Oh, we want more Stranger Things,” but the show is done, guys. I was like, “Guys, it’s over. It’s been ten years. We were full-on kids and now we’re full-on adults, and we don’t need any more of us.”
>”The Duffers, our wonderful, amazing creators, wanted to leave everybody with this level of optimism that the show has always given everyone. So if they left the show without that, we would have left Stranger Things without the true essence of what we’ve been representing forever.”
>”We started off season one playing Dungeons & Dragons, and we ended just like that. And Mike’s storytelling and writing ability [that’s rooted in D&D] is how the show should have ended. I think people missed the concept of what the show is when they were like “Oh, there’s going to be more.” No, that’s just Mike’s imagination. That’s who he’s always been, even in season one. It’s all just storytelling.”

It’s dumb bc the stranger things finale was never going to be good. They wrote themselves into the corners of all corners. People who think they could redeem themselves w one final episode did not track the writing well
