After escaping Vecna's mind prison in Stranger Things 5, Max is alive but still recovering from her severe injuries (broken bones, blindness) and remains weak, reuniting with Lucas and the group, yet unable to fight, symbolizing her transition from near-death to a hopeful, albeit fragile, life, ready to support the final battle.
Vecna was stopped before he could remove Max's eyes so that is why they was like they was. Afterwards Max ended up dieing due to the injuries Vecna caused. When El got back to them and saw what happened she restarted her heart, but this was after the gate was opened.
This was explained via the beginning of episode 9. Billy father abuses him because Max always leaves the house without him knowing. Even though Max…
The fan-favorite character ended the season in a coma with her bones broken and eyes blinded at the hands of Vecna. Max technically died for one whole minute before Eleven revived her friend, but Eleven's powers weren't enough to bring Max fully back to life.
There's no single "saddest" death, as it's subjective, but Eddie Munson, Bob Newby, and Alexei (Smirnoff) are consistently cited as the most heartbreaking due to their heroism, innocence, or tragic circumstances, with fans often debating Eddie's heroic sacrifice vs. Bob's pure-hearted loss or Alexei's joyful demise. Other significant sad deaths include Barb Holland, the first major character loss, and Billy Hargrove's complex redemption.
Yes, according to the show's creators, Mike did realize that Will's "crush" in his coming-out speech referred to him, even though it wasn't explicitly stated in dialogue; his reaction shots and subsequent apology scene were designed to show he understood the depth of Will's feelings, though the payoff for their storyline was minimal in the finale.
Billy Hargrove and Max Mayfield from Stranger Things are step-siblings. Billy is Max's stepbrother, a relationship that came about when Billy's father, Neil Hargrove, married Max's mother, Susan Hargrove. This makes them a part of the same family, despite not being related by blood.
Before they embark into the Upside Down, Will comes out as gay to his family and close friends, explaining that Vecna showed him visions of his failed and distant relationships with his loved ones after they learnt the truth.
So it's clear by now that vecna had control over billy. Right before he sacrificed himself 11 showed him memories of his mother, it brought him out of vecnas hold and he tried to stop the monster as himself fully.
In Stranger Things, several characters say the F-word, including Will Byers, Billy Hargrove, and most notably, Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) in a significant Season 4 moment when confronting Vecna, delivering a rare and impactful "You f***ed with the wrong family". Other instances come from characters like Billy (often possessed), and even faint or muffled uses have been noted from others like Jonathan.
max was feeling an insane amount of emotions in that moment, so she just broke down. it's normal and natural.
Stranger Things Season 5's biggest twist, that the Mind Flayer was the real villain all along, was pretty well signposted. The end of Season 4 had apparently turned the entire story upside down, with Vecna claiming he was the show's real villain and that he'd created the Mind Flayer.
Tragically, genetic health issues finally take over and Kevin passes away. Max does not see it coming because he believed the fantasy that Kevin had adopted: Kevin said that he would receive a bionic body. After Kevin passes away, Max just wants to give up.
Maxine Russo was an alter-ego of Max Russo that was created when Alex and Justin crossed spells and accidentally transformed him into a little girl. The cover-up story the Russos came up with to explain Maxine's existence is that Maxine is their cousin from North Dakota.
She leaves one last message: "I will always be with you. I love you." After one last kiss in the psychic-verse, the gang looks on as Eleven sacrifices herself to the bomb that closes the Upside Down.
The Duffer Brothers, confirm that in the coming-out scene, Mike realized he was Will Byers' crush. I liked this scene, Will putting his biggest fear — rejection of self — on the line before (most of) the people he cares about.
Billy's queer coding becomes more blatant during his interactions with Steve Harrington (Joe Keery), especially when they first share a scene in S2E2 (“Chapter Two: Trick or Treat, Freak”) at a Halloween party. At this party, Billy takes Steve's place as “Keg King” and does a stare off with Steve about it.
“He taps into the hive mind, and then he can manipulate anything within the hive. You'll see how far he can take it as you continue to watch. But that's how he's able to manipulate the monster.”
Yes, Alice Creel is Vecna's (Henry Creel's) older sister in Stranger Things, whom he murdered with his powers when they were children, with her appearance being a parallel to Holly Wheeler, making her a significant figure in his twisted past. She was the daughter of Victor and Virginia Creel, and her death by Henry's hand was a pivotal event that led to his eventual transformation into Vecna.
Internationally, he is known for his roles as Jaqen H'Ghar in the second, fifth and sixth seasons of the TV series Game of Thrones, as well as Sebastian Berger in the TV series Crossing Lines. He also appeared in four episodes of Jack Ryan. He plays Dmitri Antonov / "Enzo" in the fourth season of Stranger Things.
Jason became bent on avenging Chrissy, and wrongly concluded that Eddie was responsible for her death as she was in his home at the time of her murder. Part of Jason's motivation for hunting Eddie was out of concern he would kill again and thus, he desired to protect his town from future murders.
Eventually, she finally told him after the guilt was building up inside of her. Mike then storms out of the apartment and heads to Logan's condo to beat him up. Logan then tells him that she didn't just like the kiss, she loved it. Mike then ended things with Rachel, but they eventually reconciled.
Will Byers' love interest in Stranger Things is Mike Wheeler, with actor Noah Schnapp confirming Will is gay and has long-standing romantic feelings for Mike, a storyline intentionally built over the seasons, culminating in Will's coming out in Season 4 and continued development in the final season (Season 5) where he expresses this love and their bond deepens.
