I also want to add a note about the significance of one of the names. #008 is named "Kali". Here's the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article on Kali: Kali (/ˈkɑːliː/; Sanskrit: काली, IAST: Kālī), also called Kalika, is a major goddess in Hinduism, primarily associated with time, death and destruction. Kali is also connected with transcendental knowledge and is the first of the ten Mahavidyas, a group of goddesses who provide liberating knowledge.[2][3] Of the numerous Hindu goddesses, Kali is held as the most famous.[4] She is the preeminent deity in the Hindu tantric and the Kalikula worship traditions, and is a central figure in the goddess-centric sects of Hinduism as well as in Shaivism.[5][6] Kali is chiefly worshipped as the Divine Mother, Mother of the Universe, and Divine feminine energy.[7][8][9] Any way you look at it, Kali is a superbly-chosen name for #008. Not only is (Stranger Things) Kali a self-appointed "bringer of death" who strives to protect the ST "mutants" from further harm, but she also provided El with liberating knowledge. Here is an AI-generated answer that explains some of the ways in which the mythological Kali acts as a catalyst for enlightenment: Kali is thought to provide liberating knowledge because she represents the destruction of ignorance, ego, and false identities, which are seen as obstacles to spiritual awakening. She is viewed as a force that shatters preconceived notions and conditioned beliefs, freeing individuals from the illusions of the self and enabling them to recognize their true, divine nature. This process is described as wrathful wisdom, which, though fierce in appearance, ultimately leads to peace and liberation. Her role as the destroyer of the ego—symbolized by the severed head and garland of skulls—signifies the release from attachment to the temporary body and the cycle of birth and death. Kali is also associated with the power to dissolve the fluctuations of the mind (chitta), a key aspect of Yoga as defined by Patanjali, allowing the individual to experience the silent calm of the Purusha within the heart. As the goddess of time and change, she facilitates transformation and renewal, helping devotees transcend suffering and achieve moksha, or liberation. Her fierce energy is not destructive in a harmful sense, but rather a necessary force to eliminate negativity and spiritual blockages, making her a central figure in spiritual liberation. When ST Kali makes a figment of Papa speak to El, it seems cruel to the viewers, but Kali knew (from her own life experiences) that El needed to recognize and deal with her festering mental wounds, or they would literally kill her someday.
