Let’s talk about the guy we all love. Steve is the babysitter, the hair icon, the redemption king. He is also walking death flags.
He has a new girlfriend (Nancy), a noble heart, and zero self-preservation. That is a recipe for tragedy. Every time he picks up a bat, you should hold your breath.
Funny detail: Steve has been knocked unconscious in every season. It’s his signature move. If he dies, it will probably be while he’s napping from a concussion. That’s a very Steve way to go.
The Heartbreaker: Max Mayfield
Remember when we all thought she died in Season 4? That was a fake-out. The Duffer Brothers played us like a fiddle. Now, they have to finish the job.
Max is blind, broken, and in a coma. Her soul is technically trapped in Vecna’s mind palace. That doesn’t spell “happy ending.”
Who dies in Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 2?
Quirky fact: Sadie Sink (Max’s actress) admitted she had to film the blind scenes using contact lenses so thick she couldn’t see a thing. She literally couldn’t see her own death scene coming. That’s commitment to method acting.
