Stranger Things fans were stunned by the show’s final episodes of season three last year. With Netflix aiming to pull out all the stops for the show’s third instalment, viewers witnessed a huge Mindflayer flesh construct attacking the AV Club in the Star Court Mall. Although there were some casualties, the event was mostly covered up.
Despite the horror being covered up, residents of Hawkins, Indiana no doubt saw the giant flesh creature attacking the show’s heroes throughout the town.
Fans now believe this could lead to the desertion of the settlement, announcing season three’s events as the straw that breaks the camel’s back from over recent years.
Season one, of course, saw the arrival of the mysterious Eleven (played by Millie Bobby Brown), and also saw many people going missing and dying under mysterious circumstances.
Season two saw Hawkins plagued once again by creatures from the Upside Down, with crops being struck with some sort of plague, and a huge explosion taking down the Hawkins lab.

Stranger Things season 4: Hopper’s past finally exposed by star’s hint
Now, a fan has spoken out on Reddit to claim the news network featured in the final episode of season three could spark the end of the town.
They wrote: “End of S3 shows a TV news network called Cutting Edge reporting on the events of the Battle of Starcourt, mysterious deaths in the town, etc, but it’s all ‘watered down’.
“They say [Jim] Hopper [David Harbour] died in a fire, there are chemical leaks, and so on.
“How do you think this will affect Season four, and the rest of the show going forward, now that the general public is at least sort of in the know about what’s happened in Hawkins?”
Considering Hopper and the also deceased Billy Hargrove (Dacre Montgomery) were upstanding members of the community, could the town decide to cut their losses and leave the haunted settlement behind?
Another fan chimed in to point out things haven’t changed in Hawkins over the show, so fans perhaps shouldn’t expect any changes in the season to come.
They wrote: “Hard to imagine what they will incorporate into S4 (the events in S1-2 didn’t stop a huge mall from being built, people letting their kids go out trick or treating…)”
The fan also suggested the exit of Joyce Byers’s (Winona Ryder) exit may have prompted the abandonment of the city from many other residents.

They added: “I think it should have a big impact on Hawkins… that people would leave town and there would be a sort of mass exodus and downturn of Hawkins… I take the fact that the Byers left as a clue, but of course, they had the best reasons to leave, hehe.
“But you can get very detailed with the idea and show a rougher side of Hawkins emerge.. more metal heads and D&D fans in town.. feeding the moral panic.”
If this is to be the case, will the remaining members of Hawkins be left to take on the ongoing threat from the Upside Down?
Meanwhile, Hopper star David recently spoke out during Liverpool Comic-Con, where he teased the arrival of Hopper’s backstory.

He began: “In season two, Eleven discovers five boxes, one of which has Brenner’s stuff from Hawkins Lab, one of which says ‘Dad,’ and one of which says ‘Vietnam,’ and one says ‘New York.
“So there are these three things that we’ve established in the season that if we don’t pay off, it means that they’re bad writers. And the Duffer brothers are very good writers.”
He teased: “So I know specifically that in season four we will give you a big, huge reveal about Hopper’s backstory.
Stranger Things seasons 1-3 are available on Netflix.
