Stranger Things Season 4’s Subtitles Have Dungeons & Dragons Easter Eggs
Warning: Spoilers ahead for Stranger Things season 4!
There are Dungeon & Dragons easter eggs hidden in Stranger Things season 4's subtitles that viewers may have missed. The Duffer Brothers' smash-hit Netflix original series released the last two episodes of season 4 last week, and the Stranger Things season 4 finale saw its heroes face their deadliest threat yet. As Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Max (Sadie Sink) confronted Vecna/001/Henry Creel (Jamie Campbell Bower) in Max's mind, the other party members fight off enemies both in and out of the Upside Down.
Stranger Things' tense season 4 finale was packed with emotional twists and turns, and all of that emotion had to be conveyed through the subtitles. Many viewers have noticed that the subtitles for Stranger Things season 4 were more vivid than in the past seasons, sometimes describing sound effects with appropriately unsettling detail. This increase in descriptive language was a result of Netflix's urge to improve the viewing experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers by adding more emotive subtitles. This way all viewers could experience the true horror of Vecna's tentacles "squelching wetly."
