ended<\/a> \u2013 with Joseph Quinn\u2019s Eddie sacrificing himself and Sadie Sink\u2019s Max in a coma \u2013 the comments certainly seem to put the rest of the characters\u2019 fates at

spoil anything but I will say the thing about these Duffer brothers is that even though the show has gotten so famous and the characters have gotten so iconic and there\u2019s so much about the \u201980s and the supernatural and the genre, it\u2019s about these people, it\u2019s about these characters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeason 5 is already so clearly taking care of these stories of the characters because that\u2019s always been the lifeblood of Stranger Things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s hoping that involves making it out of the Upside Down alive.<\/p> <div
