Cast your minds back to season 4 episode 1, to The Hellfire Club’s battle against Vecna in Eddie’s final D&D campaign. Season 4 brings Vecna, one of D&D’s most powerful villains, to life as the actual threat brewing in Hawkins, and he’s also the key figure in Eddie Munson’s Hellfire Club D&D campaign. A decade later, the Satanic Panic lost steam, and the public attitude toward it was best exemplified by Dana Carvey’s “Church Lady” parody on SNL. Religious activists would be replaced by secular critics like Jack Thompson, who went after Grand Theft Auto for allegedly encouraging violence.
His goals came after previous trebles in victories over South Park, Chertsey Town and Binfield earlier in March. The Briton’s promoter, Hearn, has already travelled to hold talks with Ngannou over a potential future in the squared circle, mentioning a fight with his stable’s biggest star. But in a fresh update, Hearn has suggested that the Cameroon star is highly interested in a showdown if it can be arranged. Several potential big fights could open up for later in the year if Joshua is to progress beyond Franklin which could include contests with rivals in the division including Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. However, in a different style of outing, Joshua could be thrust into a potential showdown with ex-UFC champion Ngannou, who is a free agent after leaving the promotion. Eddie Hearn has declared Anthony Joshua is open to the possibility of a boxing fight with Francis Ngannou.

Until further notice, this question remains on the table for Stranger Things 5. Back in season 4, episode 1, The Hellfire Club face off against Vecna in Eddie’s final D&D campaign and it falls to Dustin and Erica to take their final rolls of the dice and try to beat Vecna themselves. Eddie Munson has had a significant impact on Stranger Things fans, with a petition calling for him to be resurrected for season 5 now reaching thousands of signatures. While Eddie rising from the grave is unlikely , The Duffer Brothers have revealed that, at the very least, his sacrifice will have «huge repercussions» amongst the surviving members of the Hawkins gang. Eddie Munson star Joseph Quinn is then bought into the fray, and Bower looks him in the eye as he offers his sorrow for taking his life. «I’m really sorry about that.» He even offers his apologies for killing Chrissy saying, «I also want to apologize for Chrissy as well,” before giving Quinn a giant bouquet of flowers, which Quinn gracefully accepts.

DeVitto went Instagram official with Estes in October of that year, according toPeople. The actor also shared a photo that he took with someone who may or may not have been DeVitto. However, those pics have since been deleted, and their relationship status remains a big ol’ mystery. If a Kas analogue is to appear in Season 5, Will and Max are once again the obvious choices due to their pre-existing connections to Vecna. Another option is Eleven, as she and Vecna are both powerful psychics who were experimented on in Hawkins Laboratory. Although the character was seemingly killed off in the final episode of Season 4, the villainous Dr. Brenner could potentially return and serve as Kas, as he is deeply connected to Vecna’s origin story.
It’s not to suggest that facing Vecna – whether in the mind or real life – was going to be a walk in the park. But at least the others had armed themselves adequately – Max with her proven Kate Bush ‘Running Up That Hill’ method, and the others with an arsenal of effective weapons. Quinn’s misdirection may have done the trick ahead of Stranger Things season 4 vol 2’s release. But as we dive into the massively long finale, we can’t be too surprised.
However, in his own personal life, Tom Selleck has always carved out time for his loved ones. «Stranger Things» has pulled multiple fake-out deaths throughout its run. If the show were to pull this again with Eddie, it would be an incredibly lazy narrative move.It’s also necessary to remember that Stranger Things is not actually Dungeons and Dragons. Yes, it uses in-show D&D games to foreshadow events, such as Will being taken by the Demogorgon way back in the first season. It also uses D&D names, such as Demogorgon, Mind Flayer, and Vecna.
Introduced in Season 4, Eddie Munson is the president of the Hawkins high school Hellfire Club, a group of Dungeons & Dragons players that also includes Mike , Dustin , Lucas and Erica . He is present when Chrissy is killed by Vecna and is framed for her death, forcing him to go on the run and join Dustin and the gang in their quest to defeat the demon. He is later killed by Vecna’s army of demobats, sacrificing himself to buy more time for the rest of the team to take down Vecna. Through tears, he explains, “When you’re different, sometimes you feel like a mistake, but you make her feel like she’s not a mistake at all.
In 4th edition, Vecna’s main foes in the realm of death and undeath are Kas, Orcus and the Raven Queen . Among the gods, Ioun is something of Vecna’s antithesis, for she would share with the world all the knowledge he would keep secret. At his empire’s height, Vecna was betrayed and destroyed by his most trusted lieutenant, a vampire called Kas the Bloody-Handed, using a magical sword that Vecna himself had crafted for him, now known as the Sword of Kas. Only his left hand and his eye survived the battle, perhaps because of the previous events in Fleeth. In 2000, Wizards of the Coast released the last adventure to be written for the 2nd edition ruleset, Die Vecna Die! Set up the transition between the second and third editions of D&D.
Can Vecna be defeated?
While it has not yet been confirmed that Max will be returning in Season 5, fans hope that the character’s story is not yet done. One of the ways in which she could return is as a brainwashed servant of Vecna, as the villain already has access to her mind and memories. While Dungeons and Dragons’ Vecna had loyal cultists, the Stranger Things version seems more likely to accrue followers via mental manipulation and control.
Introduced at the beginning of Stranger Things Season 4, Eddie is the charismatic leader of the Hellfire Club; a Dungeons & Dragons group that includes both Dustin and Mike. After being present at one of Vecna’s many murders, Eddie spends most of the series Here on the run from the law and vigilante justice. The actor, who played Eddie Munson on the new season of «Stranger Things,» told ScreenRant that he was offered the chance the view the death, which his character is present for, during post-production.
Eddie’s death is supposed to be payoff for his season-long arc about what it means to be a hero. He ran away when Vecna killed Chrissy and spent most of the season in hiding. In the finale, he charges back into the fray, becoming the hero he claims he’s not. All of this would be satisfying if he hadn’t gone out with such a whimper. If you’re going to kill a heroic character, at least give him a better death.
