Now, let’s talk about Steve Harrington (Joe Keery). He started as the bully you wanted to punch, and now he’s the babysitter we all wish we had. He’s the guy who shows up with snacks, a nail bat, and a smile. Steve is the Underdog King, and his death would be like finding out your favorite local coffee shop is closing forever—heartbreaking and unnecessary. But the Duffer Brothers love a redemption arc, and a heroic death is the ultimate redemption.
Slideshow: Who Will Die In Stranger Things Season 5?
Don’t forget Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) from Season 4. Wait, he’s already dead? Oh right, the guitar shredding hero went out like a legend. But in Season 5, we might see flashbacks or his legacy haunting the story. Still, his death taught us that even the weird kid can be a hero. It’s like when you finally admit that pineapple on pizza is actually good—surprising, but you respect it.
And then there’s Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink). She’s in a coma, her bones are broken, and she’s blind. If she wakes up, she’s a beacon of hope. If she dies, it’s like stepping on a Lego in the dark—you knew it was coming, but it still hurts like crazy. Max is the friend who’s been through hell and still makes sarcastic jokes. We need her to survive, or the entire town of Hawkins will feel emptier.
