With the finale almost knocking at the door, fan theories are piling up each passing day. It cannot be denied that a TV show such as Stranger Things would definitely not give us an ending without any intense bloodshed and sacrifice, as suggested by the Duffer Brothers.

The finale is definitely going to be devastating. Hence, fans all around the world have indicated some intense theories about the characters who could end up not making it till the end in the Stranger Things Season 5 finale. If we look at the interview with Noah Schnapp, there is an indication that Vecna is the most misunderstood character, which is definitely an indication of a redemption arc that could be possible in the finale.

In Part 2 of the final season, there is a memory in which Holly and Max come across Henry killing a scientist, but not before trying to save him. He only attacks the scientist after he shoots Henry in his hand. Throughout the series, there were often hints about a bigger villain puppeteering Vecna. Hence, it is definitely a possibility that Vecna’s redemption arc could bring forth a surge of emotions amongst the fans after his full story is revealed.

Throughout the series, there were multiple times when Hopper came close to death but survived. Many fan theories indicate that he might not be able to make it in the finale because of his sacrificial nature. In the first part of Stranger Things Season 5, Hopper secretly implanted bombs in his body with the motive to kill Vecna.

Hence, in the finale, there could also be a possibility of him ending his life to protect others, especially El. It cannot be denied that, through the five seasons of Stranger Things, a character who often gets overlooked is Jonathan Byers. After his brother disappears, all of his mother’s focus goes towards her. There were times when Joyce herself admitted that Jonathan is capable of taking care of himself.

A fan theory indicates that in the finale, he might end up dying, which would become a wake-up call for Joyce to finally understand the neglect she had towards Jonathan. Jonathan’s presence throughout the series added to the love fans have for him. Hence, his death would definitely be heartbreaking.

Fans would definitely not be able to stop their tears if Steve is not able to make it. Steve showed constant care towards the group, along with taking care of them, becoming their mentor and guide. He protected them through every danger throughout the season. These actions made Steve an indispensable character in Stranger Things.

His death would undoubtedly create a traumatic situation for the viewers. A fan theory indicates the death of El because of the constant words from Kali about the experiments that could happen if they remain alive. Many viewers pointed out that there is a possibility that El would listen to Kali and sacrifice herself so that the experiments end with her and Kali.

It cannot be denied that El and Will’s powers are quite lacking compared to Vecna’s. A theory amongst the fans indicates that Mike’s death would become the driving force in making El and Will even more powerful to be able to stop Vecna. Mike’s death would undoubtedly be extremely devastating.

Through the years, each and every character in the group in Stranger Things slowly created a special place in the hearts of the viewers. Seeing any of these characters die is not something that the viewers are prepared for. These fan theories undoubtedly make us aware of the extreme situations that could happen in the finale, preparing us to brace ourselves for the impact.
