5 things fans got wrong about GTA 6's trailer 2
The second trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI dropped like a bomb on May 6, 2025, and fans wasted no time dissecting every blink, explosion, and palm tree. But in the frenzy of trailer breakdowns and Reddit theories, some got a little carried away.

Here are five things fans misinterpreted in GTA 6's Trailer 2.
1. Jason Isn't Robbing Stores, He's Collecting Protection Money
When Jason smacks a cashier and grabs a wad of cash, many assumed he was pulling off a robbery. But that's not the full story.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
Earlier in the trailer, local crime boss Brian tells Jason: 'Get those businesses in line.'
The scene isn't a stick-up; it's organized extortion, part of a protection racket.
This lines up with the broader theme of GTA 6: rising through criminal ranks, not petty theft.
Why Jason Isn't A Cop in GTA 6
2. Jason Could Not Be an Undercover Cop
A single line from a police officer:
'Us cops, we gotta protect each other',
launched wild theories that Jason is a fed.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
Jason's official Rockstar bio confirms he's ex-military, not law enforcement.
That cop line? It likely hints at police corruption, not Jason's secret identity.
If anything, it sets the stage for the cops being another antagonistic force, not allies.
3. Lucia's Ankle Monitor Didn't Just Magically Disappear
Fans were quick to cry 'mistake!' when Lucia's ankle monitor, visible in early scenes, was missing later.
But this isn't a goof; it's storytelling.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
The ankle monitor only disappears after Lucia is seen committing major crimes (bank heist, nightclub shootout).
That likely means it was removed, either as part of a plot deal or a forced escape.
Rockstar doesn't do continuity errors by accident. This is intentional plot progression.
4. The Motel Fire is Not Just Some Random Footage
The burning motel? Some fans brushed it off as visual filler. Big mistake.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
That exact same motel appeared in Trailer 1, and we think it was Jason and Lucia's safehouse.
A cheeky sign reading 'In Case of Fire' inside the room? Classic Rockstar foreshadowing.
Most likely, the fire is deliberate arson, pushing our protagonists into full-blown fugitives.
Will GTA 6 Have A Third Protagonist?
5. A Third Playable Character Seems Unlikely
Some thought the police raid scenes meant a new, playable character—maybe even a cop. But that theory doesn't hold.
Why Fans Got It Wrong:
Rockstar's official site names only Jason & Lucia as protagonists.
The raid scenes are likely cutscenes or mission setups, not POV gameplay.
It makes more sense narratively for cops to chase the duo, not become the third wheel.
Fan theories? Always fun. But Rockstar is known for intentional, layered storytelling. What looks like a goof is often a setup. What seems random usually pays off later. Trailer 2 isn't just a visual tease—it's packed with plot, if you know where to look. Watch closely. Question everything. But maybe… don't overthink it
too
much.

Stranger Things 5 hype is already breaking records, but are fans actually still into it?
Stranger Things is back (well, almost), and it is already rewriting the streaming rulebook, at least, according to Netflix. The final season, set to hit screens this November, just racked up a jaw-dropping 250 million impressions on Netflix's socials in just four days. That's more than any other show announcement in platform history. Insane, right? Stranger Things 5 is breaking records before it even drops, but is the hype real? But not everyone is buying the Upside Down hype. While the numbers are objectively wild, some fans are starting to question if the excitement is still genuine, or if Netflix is simply winning the marketing game and juicing algorithms for maximum clout. A long wait, a three-part drop, and a lot of raised eyebrows The announcement came during Netflix's Tudum event in LA, where it was revealed that Stranger Things 5 will be released in three parts — four episodes on 26 November, three more on Christmas Day, and a final goodbye on 31 December. New Year's Eve with Vecna? Sure. But it is been over four years since Season 4. Some longtime fans are thrilled. Others? Not so much. Reddit threads and TikTok comments are loaded with a mix of "finally!" and "do we even care anymore?" The wait has been brutal, and some viewers feel like the momentum has flatlined. The story so far, but is it still gripping? Season 5 picks up in the fall of 1987, with Hawkins in pieces after the Rift disaster. The town's in quarantine, the military is sniffing around for Eleven, and Vecna is MIA, but definitely not gone. The stakes are higher, the darkness is deeper, and the full cast is back for one last ride. Sounds epic on paper, sure. But let's be real, after years of delays, cast ageing out of their roles, and the explosion of other breakout shows (hello, The Last of Us), Stranger Things has a lot to prove. Is the finale going to live up to its legacy… or collapse under the weight of its own hype?
