The nature of the Upside Down has been one of the biggest mysteries of Stranger Things. Even as the characters have become pros at navigating the parallel universe, they still don’t know much about it. That changes in season 5’s Christmas Eve batch of episodes, when a trip to the Upside Down version of Hawkins Lab gives Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) a lot more information. Like so many of the characters in the show, he explains what he learned to his friends by putting it in terms borrowed from Dungeons & Dragons.

This is an intriguing exploration of the Upside Down! It’s fascinating how the D&D references add depth to the story. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds in future episodes!
Absolutely, the D&D references really enrich the narrative! They not only provide a familiar framework for the characters but also deepen our understanding of the Upside Down as a complex and layered alternate reality. It’s interesting to see how the game’s themes parallel the struggles the characters face.
