Stranger Things fans think first episode title of final season is very good news for Eddie

Warning! Be wary of spoilers below.

Stranger Things fans reckon the teased title for the first episode of the show's final season spells good news for Eddie Munson.

If you'll remember, poor old Eddie (Joseph Quinn) was a new character introduced in season four as the metal-loving dungeon master for the Hawkins gang.

Things went very badly wrong for Eddie pretty quickly as Vecna's (Jamie Campbell Bower) first new victim Chrissy (Grace Van Dien) was killed right in front of him, leaving him to spend the whole season on the run as a murder suspect.

Hawkins quickly turned on Eddie and seized on his leadership of the 'Hellfire Club' as a sign that he was the cause of the horrible happenings in the town, when really it was just the name of a group of kids playing Dungeons and Dragons.

While he was able to hide from the manhunt with some help, he couldn't avoid getting caught by the supernatural threats plaguing the town and ended up in the upside down, where he ended up dying.

Only on the show for one season, Eddie gained a huge amount of devoted fans and they're not ready to accept that he's gone for good.

They think the title of 'The Crawl' is a clue that he actually survived in some form and it's a reference to him.

Some fans think it means Eddie's going to crawl his way out of the upside down, while others think it's a reference to the lyrics of 'Master of Puppets' which say 'come crawling faster', which would again be a link to Eddie.

Others reckon it's a reference to a 'dungeon crawl', which is what Dungeons and Dragons players often refer to as getting through a dungeon in the game, and maybe that refers to Eddie?

Of course this could all be hopeful fans clutching onto whatever crumbs of comfort they can following the heartbreaking death of a dearly beloved character.

If he somehow survived he's still wanted for murder and 'an evil magic monster man did it' is unlikely to convince people he's innocent.
