Massive. Spoilers. Ahead. Now that we've got that out of the way... After inhaling the third season of Stranger Things, fans were super excited to see that the show isn't slowing down. The popular characters have grown, Hawkins has been saved once again, and the portal to the Upside Down has been taken care of. At least for a little while. A lot of things happened throughout the entirety of Stranger Things season 3, Bored Panda has compiled a list of Stranger Things memes that are so accurate, they're hilarious. Of course, they probably won't save you from rewatching everything all over again, but why would you give up on this experience in the first place? Scroll down, enjoy, and upvote your favorite funny memes... you know the gig!

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the critics think that the third season of the show "transforms itself into a riveting -- if familiar -- summer ride that basks in its neon-laden nostalgia without losing sight of the rich relationships that make the series so endearing." However, not everyone thinks the popular TV show was that good. "Instead of reminding us of what we have lost, the show gets caught up in the kind of patriotic fantasies that adults love so much, things like romance and defeating communism in a mall with fireworks on the fourth of July," Aaron Bady wrote.

Shawn Levy, the exec producer of the show, sees each new set of episodes as "basically an eight-hour movie." According to Levy, season 3 is their most comedic and pop-y season yet, but it’s also their most cinematic and epic season. "It opens in the summer of ’85, filled with the idyllic nature of summer and adolescence in the ’80s, the fun of mall culture and young love, a world of innocence and promise. But as new threats are revealed — and there’s more than one in season 3, both supernatural and human — the season takes a turn toward darkness. And it is far creepier than anything we’ve done yet. It gets an epic scale in terms of action and emotion. By the end of Episode 8, it’s like a gut punch to the heart. I know I’m mixing metaphors with two body parts, but it’s a deeply emotional ending to the season," the filmmaker told Variety.

To make us all more hopeful, there was also that phone number that David Harbor gave that when called has the message of Murray calling Joyce saying " I have an update. It's about, well, it's probably best if we speak in person. It's not good or bad, but it's something. " I think that hints even more that the American in the Russian Prison is Hopper.

Hopper is alive for one reason. We never actually saw him die. It is a cardinal rule of television writing.

Super thinking Hopper is alive for the following reasons: "As they’re loading up the truck and Hopper’s speech nears its end, a certain song starts playing. “Heroes” by David Bowie . To a lot of people this may not mean much in the context of the show but for me, and probably others like me who have watched the show in its entirety countless times, it brings me back to Season 1. At the end of Season 1, Chapter Three: Holly, Jolly, Will’s body is found in the quarry (or so we were lead to believe) and what song plays as we see this unfold? “Heroes” by David Bowie. I can’t think of any reason that they would have picked that song, given the countless songs perfect for that situation, other than them subtly calling back to another time where we were told a character was dead when they weren’t." AND “Leave the door open 3 inches.” The gate still had light peeking through~ Hopper is in the upside down and the Russians have Dr Brenner which is how they knew to go to Hawkins for the gate.

Wasn't really surprised at this line. I mean, they could make it to mean anyone, but we all pretty much figure it's Hopper in there

I totally think they were referring to the Battle of Agincourt. Which is really smart and funny! :)

I am sure Steve will still be there working and serving ice cream in his chips ahoy outfit.

I laughed, then wondered what Gaten Matarazzo would think of this himself if he saw it. I hope he doesn't see it.

It's weird that I call them my babies even though I am literally the same age as them.
