Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo, known for his portrayal of Dustin Henderson, has voiced his opinion on the show’s future as it gears up for its final season. In a recent fan convention appearance, Matarazzo expressed a desire for higher stakes and more character deaths, echoing sentiments previously shared by co-stars Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp.
Stranger Things actor Gaten Matarazzo calls for more deaths in season 5: “We’re all too safe!”
As reported by CBR, Matarazzo stated, “This show would be so much better if the stakes were much higher… I feel like we’re all too safe.” He suggested, “It might sound messed up, but we should kill more people.” This sentiment aligns with his colleagues’ earlier comments. Back in May 2023, Schnapp (Will Byers) urged for a “massacre scene” to increase tension, while Brown (Eleven) demanded her own character be killed off, criticizing the showrunners for being “too sensitive.”
These remarks highlight a growing debate among fans and cast members regarding the show’s direction. While some crave the brutality of shows like Game of Thrones, others value the emotional core and character development established in Stranger Things. The Duffer Brothers, the show’s creators, have previously addressed this tension while speaking of their commitment to balancing exciting plot twists with meaningful character journeys.
With Season 5 set to premiere in 2024, fans can expect a thrilling conclusion to the Hawkins saga. Whether the showrunners heed the calls for increased character mortality remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Stranger Things will continue to spark conversation and debate as it approaches its final curtain call.
For the unversed, taking place in 1980s Indiana, Stranger Things follows the story of a teenager possessing extraordinary psychic abilities who manages to flee from a malevolent government facility. This teen, known as Eleven, forms an alliance with a group of young misfits consisting of Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will. Together, they confront various formidable adversaries such as demogorgons, the Mind Flayer, and the sinister Dr. Brenner.
