Brace Yourself: Two Beloved Characters Will Die in Stranger Things 5, According to Fans
The show has always said goodbye to minor characters almost at the end of each season. We lost Bob, Billy and Eddie, but the finale should give us a lot more emotion, so fans are expecting some big changes.
Stranger Things fans are speculating that the writers' next victims will be Steve and Max. The rumors of these characters' possible demise have caused quite a stir in the fandom.
Many are upset and worried about the fate of their popular heroes. Others, however, are excited to see how the show will handle such a significant move.
Steve Harrington was portrayed as a stereotypical jock and bully. But as the series progressed, he became a fan favorite due to his character development and heartwarming friendship with Dustin Henderson.
Meanwhile, Max Mayfield was introduced in season 2. She quickly became the popular member of the gang due to her fiery personality and ability to stand up to the show's monsters.
Max also had a close relationship with her abusive stepbrother, Billy, which added depth to her character.
While it's unclear how Steve and Max will meet their demise, fans are already speculating about possible storylines. Some believe that Harrington may sacrifice himself to save his friends, while others believe that Max may fall victim to Vecna.
Steve has become a sort of "mother" to the gang, so it would not be surprising if the guy decides to sacrifice himself for a higher purpose.
Harrington was once an observer of the conflict before he became a participant. It wouldn't be surprising if the writers decided to make a hero out of the former bully and end his arc nicely.
While Steve is likely to die in battle, Max is already in a coma. Vecna possesses the girl, and Max may share a connection with him similar to what Will had in season 2 — but hers could be potentially fatal.
Fans speculate that Max will forgive herself for what happened to Billy, but will never come out of this state.
However, some viewers are still hoping for the ending that Game of Thrones didn't give them.

The fans wanted to see the White Walkers on the throne, and now they dream of Vecna succeeding in his plans and turning Hawkins into the Upside Down. So yeah, basically, they want Vecna to win.
Someone thinks that El will die before Vecna and finally close the gate, but since her death would be an obvious move, the Duffers may want to play a different card.
No matter how things go, fans hope that season 5 will provide unforgettable emotions and end the arcs of beloved characters on a high note.
The finale will be delayed due to the writers' strike and may not be released until 2025.
