It’s been three years since we last saw Vecna and some all Stranger Things fans can’t stop talking about the villain’s slimmer appearance.

Part 1 of the show’s fifth and final season dropped on Wednesday, November 26, with Jamie Campbell Bower returning as Vecna. The actor, 37, also reprised his role as Henry (a.k.a the human version of Vecna) who appeared as a friendly despite having ulterior motives with a secret plan to kidnap the kids in Hawkins.

While the story line was more focused on Vecna’s revenge, the biggest conversation about Vecna was related to his appearance.

“I wonder, why does Vecna look so different? The „branches“ on his shoulder? Slimmer waist?” read one post via X while another fan wrote, “Vecna coming out with a 14 inch waist.”
