Stranger Things finale failed to give a proper ending to these integral characters

Stranger Things has ended, leaving us with memories of Hawkins and things to discuss in the future. Though the conversations around it are already at the peak. Some are still wondering what happened to Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and her sister Eight (Linnea Berthelsen) after the Hawkins crew destroyed the Bridge, which was revealed to be a massive wormhole.

But these weren't the only two whose fates were left ambiguous in the show. There were some others whom it failed to give a proper ending. Some deserved to die, and some deserved a good one. But eventually, all we can say is that these have been left hanging, so we can only hope they might return in a spin-off.

Regarding our main team, consisting of Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Max (Sadie Sink), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), and Will (Noah Schnapp), we all saw them becoming what they intended to in a final show of the Dungeon Master Mike. Hopefully, they'll make it.

These Stranger Things characters deserved an ending

Erica Sinclair

Dustin Henderson may have become the most badass character after Hellfire creator Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) in Stranger Things, but it was Lucas' sister, Erica Sinclair (Priah Ferguson), who stole the show every time she was on the screen. She had become a major part of the main team by the end of the show and had seen things that just existed in nerds' fantasies. At the end of the show, she deserved more than her minor appearance at the graduation scene.

Scott Clarke

Randy Havens's Scott Clarke is one jolly and enthusiastic teacher, who was always there to solve things when things didn't work out. And he was always one to care about Dustin and might have thrown his life on the line for his favorite student like Eddie and Steve (Joe Keery). Throughout the show, he wasn't aware of what the Hawkins crew was up to. Hell, he wasn't even aware of the Upside Down until the final season. But he was fascinated and assisted the team big time alongside Erica.

Murray Bauman

If there was a character with energy who brought laughter to our faces as we watched Stranger Things, it was Brett Gelman's Murray Bauman, who began as a journalist, speaking of which, you should see how you can water down a story to bring down evil, as he explains to Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton). Later, he became part of Hawkins' crew, bringing supplies and destroying helicopters in the Upside Down. But then he vanished, just like that. We deserve to know what happened to him.

Dr. Kay

Linda Hamilton's Dr. Kay is one character who should've gotten a proper ending in Stranger Things. That proper ending would've been best if she died at the hands of Eleven, whose sister was killed by one of Kay's soldiers. Though, her expressions when she saw her longtime target vanishing in the Bridge were worth watching. Stranger Things: Tales from '85 is dropping this year, so maybe her character will appear in it too. And, maybe, she'll get what she deserved.
