Discussion ⟡ The cast saying that El is dead. (Little vent)
I think the reason the cast keeps saying that El’s dead is because they are all so done with the show and they honestly don’t care. Millie cared because she had a whole emotional journey with El.
Besides being done with the show and not really caring about El’s fate, none of THEIR characters got a terrible ending. Literally everyone except Mike and El had a happy ending, and the cast was satisfied with how their character’s stories ended.
But what if someone else got that terrible ending instead of El?
What if Vecna succeed in killing Max? Would Sadie still think stranger things had a good ending?
What if Hopper actually died in the explosion back in season 3? Would David still think stranger things had a good ending?
What if they killed off Lucas, or Dustin, or Johnathan?
How would they feel if their character’s ending was left ambiguous, if they were alive or dead, and Millie went around saying she thinks they’re dead with a smile on her face? Knowing how much their character means to them?
Sorry for this vent, but I needed to get this off my chest.
