A look at who survives and who does not in season 4, Volume 2.
Warning: This article contains spoilers fromStranger Thingsseason 4, Volume 2.
All we kept hearing about Volume 2 ofStranger Thingsseason 4 was that it was bigger and more deadly.
Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Dr. Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine) are back at it in the ‘Stranger Things’ season 4 finale episodes.Netflix
So, was it as fatal for our heroes as it sounded?
So, let’s say there were twomaincharacters who didn’t make it to the end.
Dr. Martin Brenner/Papa
Brenner (Matthew Modine) actually dies this time.

No seemingly getting devoured by a demogorgon off-screen only to come back three seasons later.
Although, it seems we might never find out how Papa survived that season 1 attack.
Brenner had other plans.
Will Max (Sadie Sink) and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) reconcile?.Netflix
Even though Eleven gets some good telekinetic punches in, that’s not what kills him.
Eddie Munson
Well, Eddie, it was good knowing you while it lasted.
The kids in Hawkins suit up to go back to the Upside Down on an assassination mission.
Eddie and Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) remain crucial for this plan to work.
But that means the demo-bats have now set their sights on Eddie and Dustin.
The kids lock themselves inside the house with the creatures threatening to break in.
Unfortunately, he does not survive.
Honorable mention
If we’re pulling hairs, okay,technicallythree people died in the finale.
But this third one came back to life, so it doesn’treallycount.
Unbeknownst to her, Eleven telepathically piggybacks into Max’s mind and waits for Vecna to emerge.
And because Max did die, that was all Vecna needs.
The gang figures out Vecna’s master plan: destroy the barrier between their world and the Upside Down.
How is anyone going to fix that big problem?
That’s for the fifth and final season to determine.
2, it wouldn’t be from the demo-bat bites he withstood.
The real surprise, perhaps, is that none of the mainstay players were killed off.
Not even Vecna, the big bad, died by the time the credits rolled.
Perhaps this is all just setting things up for an even deadlier fifth and final season.
Stranger Thingsseason 4 is now streaming in its entirety on Netflix.
