Eleven is faced with the horror of high school and the terror of bullies, and is oddly powerless to do anything about either in a newly released clip from Stranger Things Season 4. Released courtesy of Twitter user THE STARCOURT FOODCOURT, the clip sees Millie Bobby Brown return to the role of Eleven, who is clearly feeling alone as she attempts to enter some semblance of ordinary life. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot more wrong than she first thought…

As you can see in the clip, Eleven seems to have lost her powers of telekinesis. While reacting to the bullies using her powers would certainly not have been a bright idea, they clearly deserve it. Lucky for them, but seriously unlucky for Eleven, raising her hand as she has done so many times before to unleash her power results in nothing but laughter from her peers. The second-hand embarrassment, however, is extremely powerful indeed.

While it remains a mystery why Eleven has been left powerless, it no doubt has something to do with the latest villain of Stranger Things. Named Vecna after the Dungeons & Dragons character of the same name, the latest bad guy looks to be more of a threat than Eleven and the rest of the gang has ever faced and could be the reason behind her lack of abilities.

The recent trailer for Stranger Things Season 4 has also seemingly suggested that Max will gain powers similar to Eleven’s. Could they have been exchanged somehow? Whatever the case, it is likely to be just one of many mysteries presented by the fourth season of the hit Netflix show.

Stranger Things Season 4 will pick up around six months after the Battle of Starcourt. Struggling with the aftermath, our group of friends is separated for the first time – and navigating the complexities of high school hasn’t made things any easier. In this most vulnerable time, a new and horrifying supernatural threat surfaces thanks to a secret Soviet laboratory under Starcourt, which seeks to open the gateway to the Upside Down, allowing the entities from the Upside Down to possess people in Hawkins.

The series will reunite audiences with the wonderful ensemble cast, including Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield, and Joe Keery as Steve Harrington.

The first episode of Stranger Things Season 4 has now premiered to the cast and crew, as well as a small number of lucky members from the media, with early reactions describing the series opener as “the scariest outing yet”, a “return to form” and “thrilling and horrifying.”

Stranger Things Season 4 will be released in two parts, with the first volume set to premiere on Netflix on May 27, 2022. The second volume will be released five weeks later on July 1, 2022.
