And now, let us begin...
Yesterday, during the Stranger Things season 4 volume 2 after show on the show’s official
YouTube channel, the Duffer Brothers gave out an interesting update regarding the fifth
and final season of the Netflix flagship series.
The show has had trend of introducing new fan favorite characters in one season and
killing them off at the end of that season.
That was the case with Bob Newby in season 2, Alexei in season 3, and now Eddie Munson
in season 4.
Lately, this has become a criticism for the show, as lots of viewers are starting to feel
that the original cast and the main characters all have plot armor, even defying death itself
in the cases of Hopper and Max, both of which had takeout deaths in seasons 3 and 4.
People even feel cheated out with the lack of deaths in season 4, after the Duffers said
that there will be a large body count in volume 2.
On top of that, the cast has gotten so large that some people are being benched in favor
of certain fan favorites and newbies that play a larger role in the plot than older
characters.
Even certain subplots don’t feel as interesting or engaging as others, with certain viewers
disliking the Russia and California subplots in Stranger Things 4.
But now for Stranger Things 5, Matt Duffer is starting to say otherwise.
“We’re stopping, we’re stopping!
We’re not adding anymore characters in season 5, I promise!”
It seems like this serves as both good news and bad news for the final season of Stranger
Things.
It’s good for the simple fact that all of the current characters won’t be sidelined,
and will instead be sharing the spotlight with each other.
Characters like Will and Jonathan will be much more active, especially since the creators
have already expressed an interest in going to back to season 1 character dynamics and
pairings, bring the show to full circle.
On the other hand, any major death or deaths that will happen in Stranger Things 5 will
be for those existing characters that had their introduction already and their mainstay
in the overall plot of the series.
This doesn’t just include the season 1 cast of main characters that seem unkillable, but
also fan favorites that were introduced in latter seasons like Murray and Robin, as well
as any new character from season 4 that is still alive.
Enzo was originally meant to die in volume 2, so now his final fate is once again up
in the air if he comes back for season 5.
Then there’s the question that has been going on in everyone’s mind since the finale
of season 2: will Steve Harrington die?
This was a concern in season 3, then once again in season 4, and now it will certainly
come back for season 5.
Now that there won’t be anymore fan favorite new characters serving as the season’s big
death, we should be more worried for poor Steve.
We shall see who lives and dies in Stranger Things season 5, whenever it comes out.
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
Are you disappointed by the fact that there won’t be any new characters in Stranger
Things 5?
