Summary
The upcoming season ofNetflix’sStranger Thingsshould include more action, but along with some fast-paced scenes, there should also be a focus on the characters that fans know and love. Viewers expect each member of The Party to take center stage as they face Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower), and of course everyone needs a logical and compelling conclusion to their character arcs. But there is one figure from past seasons ofStranger Thingswho could also come back.
ThisStranger Thingscharacter is intelligent, confident, and kind, which are all necessary qualities as The Party prepares for a final fight. While there are several possibilities for this character’s return, fans have some smart ideas.
How Can A Fan-Favorite Character Appear In Stranger Things Season 5?
Scott Clarke (Randy Havens), the kind Hawkins High School science teacher, should appear inStranger Thingsseason 5.It would be exciting to see the beloved characterhelp the others take down Vecna. Even though Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) is intelligent and follows her intuition, she needs some help if she’s going to be successful. Since the characters trust Mr. Clarke, they’ll listen to his advice, and he might see something that they can’t.
Fans would love to see Mr. Clarke come back inStranger Thingsseason 5 and several viewers talked about how he could be featured in aReddit thread. Redditor @Lowlandlightening thinks thatClarke should figure outthe Upside Down’s mystery. This is an interesting idea since he has been studying history and science for a long time and could likely propose some cool theories. The fan wrote:
“Time for Mr. Clarke to put two and two together about the questions the kids and Joyce asked him with the inter-dimensional hole in the center of Hawkins and join the party!”
Redditor @Wikinetti agreed thatMr. Clarke’s expertise could be valuable when it comes to ending the battle between the Upside Down/Vecna and Hawkins. The fan wrote:
“He seemed to have knowledge in radio contact and electronics. I’m hoping we get him back to help with that in S5 developing a communication between the crew and the upside down.”
Redditor @RalphTheNerd added thatMr. Clarke should play an active part inStranger Thingsseason 5 when it comes tothe monsters in the Upside Down. Since fans expect Eleven to use her powers on the different creatures, it would be fun and surprising to see another character defeating one of them. The Redditor explained:
“I will be disappointed if there isn’t a scene in Season 5 where he kills a monster with the help of science.”
WhetherScott Clarke finds a way to talk to characters who are trapped in the Upside Down or comes up with a great master plan to kill Vecna, there are definitely a few ways to include this character inStranger Thingsseason 5. Even just a single appearance would be enough to give The Party some support as they embark on what is sure to be the most terrifying battle they’ve ever experienced. The possibility ofStranger Thingsbeing a post-apocalyptic storywould make Mr. Clarke’s appearance even more meaningful since he and the other characters have a bond.
What Happened To This Character In Stranger Things Seasons 1-4?
Scott Clarke may not be a main character inStranger Thingsseasons 1, 2, 3, or 4, butMr. Clarke helps the characters understand the world around them. In season 1, Mr. Clarke talks to Will Byers’s (Noah Schnapp) friends about “the acrobat and the flea” so they can figure out alternate dimensions more easily. He also tries to find Will along with the other characters. These scenes are important since they prove that he’s compassionate and tries to be the best teacher and person that he can be. Even beforethe main villain Vecna is introduced, Will’s friends know something evil is in Hawkins, and they want Mr. Clarke’s assistance.
One of the most memorable scenes involving Mr. Clarke is inStranger Thingsseason 1, episode 7, “The Bathtub,” when Dustin Henderson wants to talk to the teacher, who says it should wait until Monday. Dustin shows that he has learned a lot about being open-minded and thinking more critically about the world around him when he says:
“You always say we should never stop being curious, to always open any curiosity door we find… Why are you keeping this curiosity door locked?”
However,Mr. Clarke isn’t inStranger Thingsseason 4, which was a shame considering how popular he is. There is also no confirmation that he will be inStranger Thingsseason 5. Whilethe new season should be violentsince that proves that there is a lot on the line, there should also be appearances from fan-favorite characters to wrap things up well.
