Kali Becomes Focus of Fan Theories as Stranger Things Finale Nears

New episodes have fans questioning Kali’s intentions ahead of the Jan. 1 conclusion.

Overview

  • Viewers on X and Reddit are labeling Kali as a possible “traitor,” pointing to recent scenes that, in their view, suggest divided loyalties.
  • Some fans counter with theories that her actions could be a misdirection or protective strategy rather than a betrayal, stressing that such ideas remain speculative.
  • Linnea Berthelsen, who plays Kali, has said she did not play deceit in these episodes and described the character’s choices as coming from a well‑intended place.
  • Fresh reporting includes a new interview framing the storyline as an existential test for Eleven, with Kali’s stance forcing difficult questions about what doing the right thing entails.
  • Volume 2 is now streaming after a Boxing Day release, and the feature-length finale is scheduled to arrive on January 1 on Netflix.
