Existe alguma conexão entre o Stranger Things e o filme IT?
Sim, a TI é uma das inspirações por trás do programa.
The Duffer brothers, who actually once pitched an “It” remake themselves, recently told Vulture that the connections are completely intentional. But there seems to be one big hole in the theory.
“Stranger Things” co-creator Matt Duffer first told Vulture that he had a problem with the 1990 “It” miniseries as a kid, and Bob’s story was inspired by that.
“I think [Bob’s clown story] was really me describing something that just freaked me out. I didn’t have that experience myself. I just had nightmares like that,” he said.
Duffer continued:
“I’m sure we were just like, ‘It would be cute if [Bob] suggests moving to Maine, right next to Stephen King.’ Stephen King exists in this world. Some of the characters have read Stephen King. But Bob definitely does not read Stephen King. He’s not interested at all in Stephen King because he hates that kind of story.”
O Stranger Things e o IT estão no mesmo universo?
Não, Stranger Things é inspirado por tantas coisas famosas dos anos 80, não é canônico para elas, mas uma homenagem a elas.
Até mesmo Finn Wolfhard desempenha diferentes papéis: Mike Wheele em Stranger Things e Richie Tozier in It (2017), dizendo que o mesmo diálogo é mais apenas de easter egg / referência.
Até mesmo Mark Hamill disse um diálogo sobre Guerra nas Estrelas em Flash, ainda que Arrowverse não seja canônico para Star Wars
