5 Plotlines Stranger Things Fans Beg Duffer Brothers to Avoid in Season 5 at All Costs
Stranger Things season 5 is going to be epic as long as it stays away from these unwanted plotlines.
As the anticipation for the fifth season of the beloved Netflix series Stranger Things builds, fans have been buzzing with speculation and hopes for the upcoming plotlines. However, there are certain scenarios that the fandom is collectively crossing their fingers to avoid.
Based on a lively discussion on the Stranger Things subreddit, here are some of the plotlines that fans are begging the Duffer Brothers to steer clear of in the upcoming season.
Demise of Main Characters
The thought of losing any of the main characters, especially fan-favorites like Steve, Dustin, Max, Hoper, and many others, is a nightmare scenario for many fans. Such a move would not only be heartbreaking but could also undermine the narrative cohesion of the previous seasons.
Time Travel
Fans are wary of the potential use of time travel as a way to reset the storyline. Similarly, the idea of the entire series being revealed as a Dungeons and Dragons game or a story written by an adult Mike (yes, there is such a theory) is seen as a twist that could diminish the impact of the series.
Unwanted Love Triangle Resolution
The love triangle between Steve, Jonathan, and Nancy has been a significant subplot throughout the series. However, fans are hoping that the resolution won't involve the death of one of the boys, leading Nancy to choose the other by default.
Overused Fake Death
The series has previously used the fake death trope, with characters like Will, and Hopper. Fans feel that repeating this plot device, especially with main characters, would lessen its impact and could come off as unoriginal.
The Sacrifice of Personal Dreams
Fans are also concerned about the potential for characters like Nancy to give up their dreams for a romantic relationship. The sentiment is that it's essential for characters to pursue their individual goals and not compromise them for the sake of love.
While fans have clear ideas about what they don't want to see, the excitement for the new season of Stranger Things is palpable. However, it’s unclear when we are going to finally see the final season as the production is currently on pause due to the ongoing strikes.
