Stranger Things season 5, volume 1 has been released, and fans are already leaving their theories, reviews, and opinions about the four episodes, including why they think it closely resembles the horror smash-hit released earlier this year titled Weapons.

Social media is abuzz with the latest four episodes of the final season of Stranger Things, but more recently, it’s been drawing comparisons to Zach Cregger’s Weapons, which premiered earlier this year and currently holds an impressive 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fans have reacted on social media, particularly X, regarding the revelation that both stories are a lot more closely aligned than initially believed.
