- SPOILERS for Stranger Things Season 5 lie ahead!
- Fans have seemingly found a pretty big continuity error in Season 5 Episode 4.
- The scene in question involves Will and Jonathan building Castle Byers.
Stranger Things is finally back for Season 5 after literal years, and fans are doing what they do best: watching every episode multiple times and....noticing things. Specifically, what looks to be somewhat significant continuity error.
As you might recall due to it being a HUGE twist, Will taps into Vecna's powers at the end of Season 5 Episode 4—right after a sweet montage of his childhood, complete with footage of him and Jonathan building Castle Byers. The thing is: this footage was filmed during the day, in full sunshine. Buuuut the show had already established that it was raining when the kids created their fort.
As Jonathan put it several seasons ago, per E! News, "Do you remember the day Dad left? We stayed up all night, building Castle Byers, just the way you drew it. And then it started raining, but we stayed out there anyway. We were both sick for like a week after that. But we just had to finish it, didn't we? We just had to."
Cut to a fan on Twitter, who wrote, "Jonathan once said that when he and Will built Castle Byers, it was pouring rain and they both got so soaked they ended up sick for a whole week. And it also makes no sense for them to act so normal when it’s literally the day their father left the house."
Okay, points are made. But to be fair, maybe Will and Jonathan started building Castle Byers during the day and then it started raining? Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt here for my own sanity!
