One Plot Twist Stranger Things Fans Would Absolutely Hate to See in Season 5
Fans say bringing back Eddie Munson is a terrible idea.
As Stranger Things fans are eagerly waiting for the next season of the beloved series by the Duffer brothers, there are a lot of speculations and theories revolving around the fifth chapter of the show.
Recently, one particular question about the upcoming installment has been causing quite a stir in the fandom. Will Eddie Munson make a comeback in Season 5?
Yes, Eddie was a fantastic character, and his death was a heartbreaking moment for all of us. But should the writers bring him back in the final installment?
The consensus among fans seems to be a resounding "no." As much as they loved Eddie, his revival could potentially undermine the gravity of his sacrifice. His death was a pivotal moment in the show, and bringing him back could cheapen that.
We all know that in the world of Stranger Things, death isn't always the end. Some people suggested that we could see Eddie again in a flashback of some kind. But while the idea of seeing Eddie again, even in flashbacks or dreams, might be appealing to some, many fans believe that his story should be left as it is.
Viewers argue that Eddie's death was tragic but it was also heroic. He stood up to the giant demon bats, sacrificing himself to save his friends. That's the Eddie we should remember.
There's also the issue of how Eddie's return would affect the other characters, particularly Dustin. Eddie's death had a profound impact on him, and seeing his friend again, even as a hallucination, could be incredibly distressing for the character.
Ultimately, the majority of fans agree that Eddie should remain a hero. His memory should be honored, and his sacrifice should not be undermined by a surprise return. Instead, fans hope that Eddie's reputation in the town will be revived, and that he will be remembered in a positive way.
We hope that the Duffer brothers respect Eddie's memory as much as fans do, and are looking forward to any updates on the production and release date for the fifth season. As of now, filming is on hold due to the ongoing WGA and SAG strikes.
