Earlier today it was confirmed that Stranger Things was coming back for a fourth season!
Now, there's a lot to theorize about from the 38-second teaser they gave us, but the only thing *I* care about is the theory that Hopper is still alive!
BITCH IM READY TO SAVE HOPPER
In case you forgot, Hopper ~allegedly~ died at the end of last season.
And THEN to add to the Hopper-not-being-dead theory, the post-credit scene showed some Russians talking about an "American." Perhaps, that American is HOP????
Which, brings us back to the Season Four teaser where they revealed that "we're not in Hawkins anymore."
Regardless, the internet has been having a field day with the possibility of Hopper being alive. Here are some of the best tweets:

wHAT IF HOPPER IS SOMEHOW SURVIVING IN THE UPSIDE DOWN AND HAS BILLY WITH HIM JKDFJDS THEYRE LIKE HIDING OUT IN THE UPSIDE DOWN VERSION OF HIS CABIN
2.
will and el meeting up with hopper in the upside down after they get trapped too in season 4
3.
ok so the clock is in the tree right? and in s1, nancy climbed through a tree and landed in the upside down right? so maybe the meaning here is that hopper never “ran out of time” and simply went through some type of portal to the upside down, thus the allusion to the tree in s1
