Following the series finale premiere of Stranger Things, many fans are wondering why The Mindflayer and Vecna didn’t use their terrifying minions in the final battle at The Abyss. Even though they’ve been a significant part of the show’s five-season run, the demogorgons were nowhere to be seen during the final episode, as well as the demodogs and demobats, which Vecna was able to fully utilize in Season 4.
Why weren’t the demogorgons included in the Stranger Things Season 5 finale?
In a recent interview with TheWrap, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer explained why Vecna didn’t summon his demogorgons, demodogs, and bats against El and her friends during the final fight. They confirmed that Vecna was actually blindsided by their sneak attack, revealing that the villain never imagined that El and the others were able to infiltrate The Abyss.
“Mainly, it’s just that Vecna was not expecting this sneak attack on his home turf. Never in a million years could he even imagine that. They’re there somewhere. We obviously discussed having a demo battle on top of the Mind Flayer battle, but it felt more right to us that why does he needs the demos when the Mind Flayer is this giant thing and can attack them? He doesn’t need his little ant army to attack; he’s going to take care of this himself. It’s a giant, desolate planet,” Matt Duffer said. “If you recall, you see Henry wandering the planet back in Season 4, and at some point in his journey, he does see a demo far in the distance, but it’s not like they’re hanging out in little huts. There’s not like a giant civilization of demos up there.”
However, the Duffer Brothers admitted that they originally planned to include a demogorgon battle scene in the three-hour version of the finale that they had initially intended to write. However, they decided against it because they felt that they’d done everything they could with these creatures.
Matt Duffer continued, “We did at some point have that they were going to come across a giant field of demo eggs in kind of an ‘Aliens’ thing, but you can’t get all your ideas in there. You remember the eggs?”
“Yeah, that’s in the three-hour version of the finale, which was never written,” Ross Duffer chimed in.
“One of the other things we talked about was just demo fatigue,” Matt Duffer clarified. “I felt like we did everything we wanted to do with them in ‘Sorcerer,’ and wanting to keep the focus on Vecna and the Mind Flayer, who’s been absent this season.”
