Every once in a while, we go down a WILD rabbit hole that is almost certainly not true….but it catches my attention enough that I just have to share it with you.

For those of you who find this stuff fascinating (like me) you’re gonna love this!

For everyone else, you are entirely free to click out now.

Ok?

Fair enough?

Ok, now let’s have some fun.

I don’t know this guy’s name but I guarantee you’ve seen one of his videos before.

And boy did he just knock it out of the park with this newest one….

Basically, he is making the case that Elizabeth Perkins (from the 1980s and 1990s fame) looks downright identical to Millie Bobby Brown (who plays Eleven on Stranger Things).  And also that those two look nearly identical to Judy Garland.

How can this be?

Time travel?

Aging in reverse like Benjamin Button?

Again, I told you this is almost certainly not real, but I think the video will blow your mind.

Just watch here:

You have to admit, the resemblance is UNCANNY!

And the fact Perkins starred in Big and that was kind of the plot of that entire movie?  Just a strange coincidence, I’m sure.

Backup video here if needed:

I think the part that blew me away the most was the fact that the eyebrows have a fairly distinct shape and line up nearly identically.

Oh, plus the two facial markings.  But again I’m sure that’s just random weird chance.

As usual, you know I like to take it one extra level and not just leave you there, so I asked Grok to run facial analysis on all three and give me it’s results.

Grok agrees that Perkins and Brown are virtually identical, but did not agree on Garland as much:

Summary of Celebrity Comparison Claims

The video in the post features a conspiracy theorist (a bearded man in a red shirt and black cap) presenting side-by-side photo comparisons and facial symmetry overlays to argue that celebrities can “age backwards” or reincarnate, using movies like Big and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as “clues.”

He specifically focuses on:

  • Young Elizabeth Perkins (from the 1980s, e.g., her role in Big) compared to young Millie Bobby Brown (e.g., from Stranger Things era).

  • Young Judy Garland (as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, with braids) compared to Millie Bobby Brown.

He also chains them by suggesting Elizabeth Perkins resembles an “older” version of Millie, who in turn resembles a “previous” Judy Garland.

Facial Resemblance Analysis

Based on the video’s images, standard portrait photos, and common online comparisons:

Elizabeth Perkins (young) and Millie Bobby Brown

Very strong resemblance. They share similar oval face shapes, large expressive brown eyes, straight eyebrows, nose shape, and mouth/lip structure. Side-by-side photos (especially from Perkins in her 20s-30s and Brown in her teens) often align almost perfectly in symmetry tests, with matching proportions. This is widely noted online as “uncanny” — many say they could play the same character at different ages.

Millie Bobby Brown and Judy Garland (young as Dorothy)

Moderate resemblance, enhanced by hairstyle. When Brown has braids or shorter hair, the wide eyes, heart-shaped face, and youthful innocence evoke Garland’s iconic Dorothy look. Eye shape and smile have similarities, but Garland has a slightly rounder face, smaller nose, and different jawline. It’s noticeable, but less precise than the Perkins-Brown match without styling cues.

Elizabeth Perkins and Judy Garland

Weak to none directly. The video implies a chain (Garland → Brown → Perkins as “cycles”), but no strong direct facial overlap. Perkins has sharper, more angular features compared to Garland’s softer, rounder youth.

Conclusion

Overall, the closest pair is Perkins and Brown (high similarity), followed by Brown and Garland (stylistic/partial similarity).

The video exaggerates alignments (e.g., pointing to minor skin marks as “evidence”) for conspiracy effect, but the base resemblances are real coincidences often discussed as celebrity doppelgängers. No evidence supports the theorist’s immortality/reincarnation claims — these are just striking look-alikes across eras.

Now let’s take it even one step further, speaking of Stranger Things.

Have you seen the show?

Did you realize it’s basically taken right out of the Bible?

A giant “veil” separates our world from the Spiritual World?

Gee, where have I heard that before?

And the main character, Eleven, has God-like powers right?

And what do they call her for short?

El.

You do know that “El” and “Elohim” is one of the most used names for God in the Bible, right?

1. “El” is one of the most common biblical names for God

In Hebrew:

  • El (אֵל) literally means God.

  • You see it in names like El-Shaddai (God Almighty), El-Elyon (God Most High), Emmanu-el (God with us), Isra-el (“He struggles with God”), Micha-el (“Who is like God?”), etc.

So simply calling the character El immediately evokes:

  • Power

  • Divinity

  • Deliverance

  • Someone who steps into the story at decisive moments

Even if unintentional, that association is automatic for anyone with a biblical lens.

2. El is a deliverer figure

Biblically, God (El) repeatedly:

  • rescues the oppressed

  • breaks chains

  • pushes back darkness

  • saves people who cannot save themselves

Eleven’s arc mirrors that pattern:

  • She arrives as a rescuer for people who are helpless.

  • She confronts evil forces that others cannot confront.

  • She literally pushes back a dark, invading realm.

  • She sacrifices herself for others.

These are the basic contours of what theologians call a “deliverer motif.”

3. El comes from outside the normal human world

In Scripture, God often:

  • breaks into human history

  • disrupts the natural order

  • empowers prophets or chosen ones with supernatural gifts

Eleven:

  • comes from a “different” world (lab-created, supernaturally endowed)

  • enters the boys’ lives as an outsider

  • carries powers beyond human ability

  • is the hinge between dimensions

This is structurally similar to biblical “God breaks in” narrative patterns.

4. El suffers, is rejected, and is misunderstood

Biblical figures representing or foreshadowing God’s work (prophets, messengers, Christ Himself) are:

  • misunderstood

  • rejected

  • hunted

  • pushed out of society

Eleven’s suffering mirrors that pattern:

  • isolated from birth

  • abused by authorities

  • feared and chased

  • forced into hiding

  • carries scars as the cost of saving others

This gives her character what scholars call a “messianic shape” to her story (not saying she is a Christ figure—just that the shape is similar).

5. El battles the forces of darkness

In Scripture:

  • God confronts Leviathan, the serpent, chaos, the demonic

  • God restrains and defeats forces that want to consume creation

Stranger Things visualizes the Upside Down almost as a biblical chaos-realm—dark, formless, ruled by a serpent-like mind (the Mind Flayer).

El repeatedly:

  • confronts the monster

  • seals the gate

  • pushes back the invasion of darkness

  • stands as the final barrier between the two realms

This is a direct narrative analogy to biblical “God vs. chaos” imagery.

6. El’s power flows strongest through sacrificial love

In Scripture, God’s power is shown most decisively in acts of:

  • protection

  • self-sacrifice

  • steadfast love

Eleven’s abilities intensify or climax when:

  • protecting her friends

  • acting in love

  • putting herself in harm’s way

  • willing to die for others

That is a deeply biblical archetype.

7. El’s name connects her with identity and destiny

In Scripture, “El” is frequently tied to identity revelation:

  • Gideon → “The LORD is with you”

  • Jacob → wrestling with God (Isra-el)

  • People are renamed when they discover their true calling

Eleven’s story is fundamentally:

  • discovering her real name

  • discovering her identity

  • discovering her mission

The name El sits at the center of that journey.

BOTTOM LINE

Even if Netflix didn’t intend any theological message, the symbolism is hard to miss:

A suffering outsider named “El” (God) who confronts the powers of darkness with supernatural authority, acts through sacrificial love, rescues the weak, and stands as the barrier between worlds.

You might not have realized this before, but “El” is incorporated into a TON of names in the Old Testament.
