In an interview with Variety, Matarazzo said that he thinks the show would be more exciting if the stakes were higher and that killing off some of the main characters would create a more suspenseful atmosphere.
The Duffer brothers, who created “Stranger Things,” have said that they are hesitant to kill off characters, as they don’t want the show to become like “Game of Thrones,” which was known for its high body count.
They have said that they believe that “Stranger Things” is different from other shows in that it is about the power of friendship and that killing off characters would go against the core message of the show.
In season 4 of “Stranger Things,” it appeared as though one of the main characters, Max, was going to be killed off. However, the Duffer brothers ultimately decided to keep her alive.
This decision was met with mixed reactions from fans, with some arguing that it would have been more impactful if Max had been killed and others saying that they were glad that she was saved.
It is interesting to consider whether “Stranger Things” would be a better show if it killed off more characters. On the one hand, killing off characters can create a sense of danger and suspense, and it can also force the remaining characters to grow and develop in new ways.
On the other hand, killing off characters can also be seen as a cheap way to shock the audience, and it can also make it difficult for viewers to connect with the characters.
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to kill off characters is a creative one that should be made by the show’s creators.
The Duffer brothers have said that they are careful not to kill off characters for shock value, and that they only do it if it serves the story. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do in season 5 of “Stranger Things.”
Do you think “Stranger Things” should kill off more characters? Why or why not?
