Bower, who played the villain Vecna in the Netflix smash hit, reflected on the end of Stranger Things while attending 2026's San Diego Comic-Con for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, telling Entertainment Weekly that the craziest fan theory he had come across since the December finale was none other than the viral "Conformity Gate."
"Conformity Gate," as it was known by fans, theorized that there was a secret ninth episode of the final season that would drop after the finale, revealing that the supposed ending of Stranger Things was actually an illusion created by Bower's Vecna. Fans cited the main characters' conformity to societal standards, despite the show's usual rebellious attitude, as the main clue that the finale had been an illusion, digging into various inconsistencies across the episodes to find evidence that not all was as it seemed.
Bower told EW that it was "pretty crazy" to watch the theory spread online, remembering the "confirmation bias" fans were feeding into to convince themselves that the Stranger Things actors were also providing evidence to the theory.
He continued, "And I still get asked the question, even now. People are like, ‘Is there a ninth episode coming?’ I’m like ... it’s been six months! If there is, they’re kinda behind."
