Long ass theory warning
Guys, I might be lowkey crazy but I gotta be like Joyce and not give up. The Russian code from season 3 MIGHT be a parallel to Jan 7/#whatsnext ad + extra because a watched this ad in slow-mo 7 to many times.
The first clue is that the week is long (and yes, it has been), and this parallels two things. It took them a week to find will in the first season, and the number seven is heavily used throughout the show, especially at the end with the dice and also 7 days after the "finale," which would be Jan 7th.
Now, getting into the Netflix #whatsnew ad. It starts with immediately showing us the ST5 promo poster in the back of the scene.
I think it's kinda strange that they would put that in their ad about new things that are going to get released. Why not put a Tales of 85 poster if that's the supposed next big ST release.
It then cuts to a cat, and not just any cat, a silver cat.
This cat then follows this girl as she goes on the bus, as there's literal hallucinations getting flashed on the screen throughout. Possibly implying that this girl is like the GA and not seeing the full story.
The cat follows her into the convenience store, and she goes to the snack isle.
The cats feeds.
Now there isn't the greatest parallel for then it come to "when blue meets yellow in the west" but here's my 2 cents.
(The second image in the post is the image I'm describing)
From the point of view of this scene, the bus is entering from the west. Now, what if blue already met yellow in the west? That would mean it's green, a green bus coming from the left. And this is not even mentioning that the entire bus is blue and yellow on the inside. Byler parallel? I like to have hopes and dreams.
Bonus stuff, I found that adds to this whole plot idk:
This is the girl we follow around this ad, and you know what's kinda crazy? She looks exactly like Joyce fucking Byers.
Even down to how she dresses
There's even another parallel to Joyce that we can see through the LIGHTS!
Also, just the fact that the lights throughout the whole ad flicker a lot is a good sign.
Back on the topic of hallucinations throughout the ad, we get this one, which can parallel with Holly falling from the sky.
And we get this other one that parallels Vecna with the tarot card reader and how she makes her victim float much like Vecna. She even has her hand positioned up like she's casting it.
Also, with the imagery of the tarot cards, it leaves me guessing. This is because they could be used in 2 different scenarios to show/predict ones future or to create your own future.
Anyways, that's all I got on this for right now, I'm I on to something? God, I hope so. I think I going crazy a little bit. 💛💙
