Duffer brothers on Eddie Munson and Stranger Things 5 + Spinoff 

They struck gold with Joseph Quinn playing Eddie they HAVE to bring him back idc how

I’m happy they chose Max, they gave her a great storyline and gave Sadie more well deserved screen time. BUT Eddie needs to come back somehow, his story was not finished yet.

Eddie is the one character they should NEVER have killed off. He’s one of the few characters who ISN’T a complete stereotype and is actually a very multi-dimensional and deep character. He actually has a personality and felt much more realistic than all of the other characters. One of the only characters I felt like had good character development, apart from Steve. He felt like the most realistic and likeable character in the entire show, by far, for these reasons. He had such main character energy. I’m so disappointed in his death - and on top of that, his death was so meaningless and there didn’t seem to be any good reason for him to run out to die that way when it wouldn’t have saved anyone else from dying anyway if El hadn’t stopped Vecna in the nick of time. And everyone apart from Dustin acting like nothing even happened after he died and only Dustin mourning him just felt so off.

If the Duffer Brothers don’t bring Eddie back for season five, there should at least be some kind of memorial scene for him- where Dustin, Nancy, Steve, and Robin set up a small funeral to honor Eddie. I would like to see at least that (if they don’t bring Eddie back) because that “two days later” scene in the finale made *ZERO SENSE* because we didn’t even see Steve, Nancy or Robin react to Dustin telling them that Eddie is dead.

the duffer brothers are getting so much hate bc of eddie, like boys what did you expect he was a likable character💀

While eddie munson getting all the love from 90% people .. these two get the most biggest hate of all the time 💀

Somehow someway Eddie has to come back. He's an amazing character and Joseph did such an amazing job. So well liked and well loved.

Not only has Eddie become real popular character but the actor has done a ton of press I didn't see this happening with other characters/actors that have been killed off.

WE DONT CARE HOW YOU DO IT. YOU CAN PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED AND WE WONT QUESTION IT. JUST BRING OUR MANS EDDIE BACK!!! Okay im done yelling 😭😂

They need to bring Eddie back for season 5. Just his character alone had such a huge impact on me. I would literally trade any of the other characters just to get him back and I really don’t think I could watch season 5 if he wasn’t in it.

I'd love a Hellfire Club spin off about Eddie and the other three older members and their band.

"Season 5 is about the original group coming back to Hawkins" yeah, but i want Eddie though...

Eddie should be kas.... If you really do know D&D lore...

We need Eddie back, he was Just too good…

they better bring back eddie i dont even care if hes the bad guy but he just HAS to be in s5 he didnt deserve enough screen time !

Everyone loved Eddie and tbh I do agree that he deserves better but we all just gotta hope nd pray nd Just wait nd see what they bring in for season 5

I can already see the rampage of stranger things fans if they dont bring back eddie (me included)

bru being eddie back I have been crying non stop it’s not far

Eddie is by far the best character. I'm now obsessed with the show.

I loved Eddie he’s my favorite part of the season but despite that I’m ok with him not coming back if he doesn’t. His arc was very well written and dying a hero’s death is a perfect ending for the guy who said I’m Not a hero and I always run

They better bring him back idc how I just want him back

I just want Eddie back to me 💔😭🎸

There is currently a petition for Eddie that has over 50,000 signatures so please sign we have to let them know we give a shit about his death

I can imagine how happy the fans will be, including me, if Eddie comes back alive in season 5. That would make it the best season for me :))

I'm still in Denial. Eddie will come back.

They obviously didn't realize what a phenomenon Eddie was going to become. On paper, they might not have thought he was that special, but Joseph Quinn played the hell out of that role. He made the world fall in love with what the writers saw as a disposable character. Now they need to seriously course correct. I hope they do.

Shut up and bring my boy back

Eddie deserved better

People will think I’m crazy or ridiculous. But I don’t care what they do, I have faith that they will give us an absolutely crazy and satisfying final season. Thank you duffer brothers for this amazing show and everything you bring us in the future

They better bring him back.I’m not gonna watch it without Eddie

Literally every comment is bring eddie back. Which i agree they should bring him back

My theory is he is going to come back as a vampire, or something similar… hear me out! In the first episode, in the d+d scene where they did a hint to Eddie’s death and the Metallica scene, a character is mentioned in the campaign: Kas. This character fought with a sword and shield (like Eddie), and died. He then came back to ‘life’ as a vampire bc he was killed by a demobat……. Deja vü anyone? Also, (I think it was on Eddie’s jacket) the brothers indicated towards the Iron Maiden album Somewhere in Time, which is filled with song titles that can be used to explain a situation where Eddie is alive in the upside down (eg. The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, A Stranger in a Strange Land, Wasted Years, Deja vu etc.) A coincidence? I think NOT! Often, when there is detail in the show about the opening d+d game, it usually reflects the shows ending. Think back to season one…..

I think it’s almost thrilling to see people take characters you created, so seriously. They must be very very proud.

HEAR ME OUT: EDDIE MUNSON, THE SPIN OFF.

I absolutely love the inclusion of "the Talisman " omg my absolutely favorite book ever

The love for Eddie character is palpable and listening to your fans is valuable. I am not sure I want to watch season 5 without Eddie.

Honestly I wasn't suprised Eddie died, but I really wanted to see more of him...such a great character that sums up the prejudice of The Satanic Panic of the time. On the flipside I do not think Max should have survived, I think that was a cheap save while killing Eddie...although he had an epic and character affirming end, was an easy kill for the writers. I wish Eddie lived and Max died...I feel like that would have made more sense.

I'm sure they had no idea the impact of Eddie's character and how well Joseph Quinn played it, he was amazing. To be so moved over the death of a new character says a lot. Hopefully he comes back in some way!!!!! Give him more screen time please!!!!

Season 4 brings back memories of playing D&D while listening to Metallica, Dio, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and the other rock gods in the background. With one D&D arch, I had players go into the planes of hell taking the fight to the source. It would be interesting if Stranger Things takes the arch of Eddie's character resurrected as "Eddie the Head" (Iron Maiden reference) into the "upside down" to raise a little hell. Perhaps some kind of super "bard" getting to play some mean riffs on his axe.

Oooof, season 5 is gonna be such an emotional rollercoaster. I am NOT ready.

Pretty much the entire narrative arc of this show has been realised before the cameras began rolling. That is testament to the Duffer Brothers' vision and creative genius.

Much as I loved Eddie, he's not coming back. Just as Barb's death informed Nancy's character development, Bob's informed Joyce's and Billy's informed Max's, Eddie is the catalyst for Dustin's. None of the deaths in this show mean nothing, even Chrissy's changed Eddie. In a way Hopper should have died too but seeing the story as they wove it, it makes you wonder where Joyce would have gone had he not been taken to Russia instead of dying

I'm sorry, but we need Eddie back. Don't care how. Spin off idea -- an Eddie prequel?

How have I only just now found out some of these new Season 5 details from this? I've been looking everywhere for an interview like this and this has been here for 8 months?!?! I'm really happy that they plan for the dynamics of Season 1 to be re-visited because I really miss having all the boys together in a season, as it's not really happened since the first half of Season 2.

WE NEED A EDDIE SPIN-OFF.

Eddie still needs a redemption in the eyes of Hawkins

Also The Lost Boys is also an 80s movie, I’m sure you two have seen it, might take notes from it.👀

Bringing Eddie back would ruin the Legend….it’s perfect as it is.

Y’all have to, HAVE to bring Eddie/Joseph Quinn back! Even if Joseph plays another character or something, PLEASE

I’m calling it Eddie comes back as a upside down vampire 🧛‍♂️/🎸

I'm not really into series shows but stranger things got me hooked. Love the cast Nat 11 Max Eddie and the other's. Love the show. Great job to you all.

Season 4 had me on the edge of my seat! I cannot wait for 5.

All I heard indirectly is that Eddie is coming back frozen in time…as a vampire 😂 aka “It’s Finally my year.” Aka “I’m forever stuck in this year at this age.” (I’m reading into slivers of nothing)

bro everyone in the comments wanting eddie back are so stupid😭 he literally completed his story arc with being a hero and him continuing it would just mess it up

Okay Duffer brothers, you are gonna end the show in next season and you guys have been brilliant. So please listen to the audience and their heartfelt love for Eddie. His character is so monumental, there's only so many times that a character is adored like this in such a small time. Eddie needs and deserves to come back. Period.

I would trade El for Eddie.

Suzie has to be the main character of the spin-off. Her computing skills help her solve mysteries.

It was strange, to me Eddie dies sacrifices him self for the good of others, and except Dustin no body else even mentions him, it seems so cold and like others don't care about him but fantastic character hope to see him back in season 5🔙

The Duffer Brothers have confirmed that Season 5 will pick up where Season 4 left off. “It will be 100km/h from the start. We have already plotted the opening scene.”

I hope the bring him back i cried for a week i had makeup running down my face i lost i started crying when dustin told his uncle

The plot armor is thick on the main cast. If they don't bring back Eddie, I feel he's a very wasted character. The two days later jump and no other characters acknowledging Eddie's death gives me a small measure of hope.

this is how we bring back Eddy in season five. lets say there are two types of monster that attacked Eddy and Steve ,one that has a venom that make you paralyze, like a blow fish or snake so Vecna can come and get you later on another type that just bites like the ones that attacked Steve....maybe one with stripes and one with spots which shows why Steve just had wounds where Eddy looked to die. With the big battle at the end it gave Eddy enough time to wake up from his bite and the venom to where off and he comes out of the woods through the four gates looking for Dustin not knowing they think he is dead. he walks into town and that's how we keep Eddy for the last season...just a metal Dad that loved the character...please start liking it so maybe it gains so traction and the two brothers see it ..thanks love the show .....Dad

as long as stancy doesn't happen, i'm tired of the stupid love triangle stnacy have shown time and time again they aren't compatible romantically let it rest

I'm fine with Eddie dying and not coming back. He died a heroic death to save Dustin from the bats and he seemed at peace with that when he died. So I don't need to see him come back. What I WOULD like to see in Season 5 is all the residents of Hawkins learn they were wrong about him and learn what Eddie did to save Dustin and his friends. Eddie doesn't need resurrection. He needs redemption. As an 80's metal head and D&D nerd, I'm just happy to see all the love a character like Eddie is getting.

ok but what if Eddie was just passed out instead of passed away

Stranger Things: Wrath of the Beholder - Spin-off Series Synopsis This is set in 2009. The kids are older now, and they have children too. Mike and Eleven live together in Indianapolis with four kids, aged seven, twelve, seven, and three, near where Lucas and Max (Who is in a wheelchair) live with their ten year old, six year old, and newborn baby. Dustin has moved to Utah and now lives with his wife, Suzy, and their two kids, who are five and two years old. Unfortunately Will has passed away, and his old friends attend his funeral as pallbearers. Joyce and Jonathan vow to get revenge on the drunk driver that crashed into Will when he was driving home one night. Meanwhile, Steve lives with his wife Yvonne in the new Hawkins, which lies just outside the old one. Robin and her wife live nearby. Nancy and Jonathan are married, and have three children. Dustin, Lucas, Mike, Max, and Eleven love paying Dungeons and Dragons with their kids, but one day Dustin comes into contact with a Beholder in real life. He thinks it may have gotten from the upside down to the real world through one of the four gates made in Season 4. But then, super suddenly, he is zapped by the Disintegration Ray of the Beholder, and disappears, reappearing in the upside down. The Beholder won't stop until all the friends are in the upside down, and then he will zap them all with his most feared ray, the Death Ray! What will happen? Find out in this spinoff series on Netflix, coming out late 2023. (Disclaimer: Not actually real).

I hope they take a lot of time to polish and make season 5 as good as they can. You could tell that season 4 had extra thinking time.

They made me cry my eye's out at home when I had to play eddie death it was sad

so excited to see Jopper thrive

Keep in mind vecna is a lich. liches in D&D control the undead. That would be neat if he came back as a Undead creature of some sort and betray vecna in the end like Darth Vader did the emperor. And for vecna to tell 11, 11 I am your father!

Eddie 🖤🖤🖤

Duffers. Me want more Eddie. DUFFERS. ME WANT MORE EDDIE YOU LIE Y O U LIEEEEEE

Them saying that they wanna reference the empire strikes back move is really foreshadowing. I’m a huge Star Wars nerd, and you can’t fool me with that reference. In Empire Strikes Back Luke finds out Vader is his father and trains under Yoda to master his Jedi skills and face that dark reality. Luke has visions, one of these visions is seeing han and leía suffering and in pain and thus goes forward to battle Vader. At some point luke and Leia are telepathically connected, and Leia I’m return taps into her Jedi powers to save her brother. Luke= El Han= Eddie Leia= Max El and Max are now telepathically and “supernaturally” connected, this is now proven because El can tap into the “white noise” to hear, see and talk with Max. If max is in a coma, El is the only one who can communicate and reach out to Max. Max in some way is connected to the upside down, therefor connected to the “supernatural” power of Vecna as well.Vecna being the Vader in this situation. She sees Vecna controlling creatures and the upside down getting stronger; she sees lost friends and towns people down there including Eddie. They are all reaching out to Max in someway, but more importantly, sees that Eddie is under influence from Vecna and “frozen” in the upside down. (Just like Han was frozen for a bit in empire strikes back) He is down there but cannot escape the upside down. Only max can hear Vecna, Eddie and El and the upside down. El taps into this, and along with the rest of the crew they tap into fighting Vecna in the upside down and out in the town. The townsfolk will battle as well (the rebellion) and the crew will head into the upside down one last time to rescue Eddie and beat Vecna.

Them killing off Eddie was such a stupid move

OMG the guy doing the interview has a flipping step brothers t-shirt on. !!!. RESPECT! my fav movie .

Funny they said Bob's death was a shock bc the moment he appeared onscreen as Joyce's new love interest I knew he was probably gonna die. Jopper was made to be endagame so there was no way Bob would continue on the series past season 2.

So when are you dropping season five? Halloween?

I really wish they would reconsider season 5 being the final season I love this show and don’t want it to go! I love the dynamic between everyone writers director cast!!!!!! Wishful thinking.

2:52 they scared me i hope jancy is endgame and they wont make her go back to st*ve

That Sneakers hoodie is pretty sweet! Love that movie.

I mean, them saying their decision to have a dark season 4 where they “lose” isn’t really a choice. It’s a very basic formula device. There’s a reason it’s used in nearly every film franchise.

I'm convinced Eddie will come back as a Puppet for Vecna. I think the title of the song Eddie playrd was very intentional not just with the way Vecnas been doing it but Eddie's fate.

the best part of this video is the cat :D

I know Elevens mother was presented in season 2.. however it would have been cool if there was a 002 female character that was also in the program who came back to protect Eleven, and opened the gate that pushed 001 into the upside down.

The Wheelers Synopsis Mike and El have married and now face the important task of raising children and it will be especially challenging when the kids have inherited their Mother's powers.

Stranger Things: Season 5 Synopsis UNOFFICIAL PLOT: The Upside Down violently opens with fiery rifts in the town of Hawkins after Vecna succeeded in his plan. Eleven and her friends will find a way to stop Vecna and the Mind Flayer for the last time to prevent them from taking over the whole planet.

HNL Synopsis Martin Brenner is the head of Hawkins National Laboratory, experimenting the power of telekinesis in child test subjects. But as people are suspicious, the police begin to investigate and one of the subjects escapes, Brenner's life falls apart...

Bring Eddie back!!

Theres so many things that points into eddie coming back

Okay you Eddie stans- stop attacking the duffer brothers Eddie would have not even existed without them- and you guys should have known he was gonna die its pretty common for them to kill off good or new characters- example barb and bob were good characters but they got killed off-

Yall eddie stans wild in deez comments bro ☠☠

Bring Eddie Back! Bring Eddie Back! Bring Eddie Back! Otherwise this ending sucks, and you and suck . I am just gutted that none of the characters even acknowledged him...WTF.

I won't be popular with this opinion, but I don't want to see Eddie back if he would be a vampire or a zombie. Eddie is too pure and humble I don't want to see him being evil. The only way I can imagine, if it would be a flashback, when Dustin remember him like when they met and Eddie called Dustin and Mike to the Hellfire Club. Or some kind of scene like that. But not vampire, zombie or any evil character. Joseph said it well int the Access Interview: Eddie got a great arc in the show. We fell in love with him at first sight and get an important role in the story, and got a very heartbreaking end. It would be ruined with a vampire/zombie Eddie. I want to remember Eddie like this, as we met him, saw him in this season.

Time stamps 1:17 season 5 stuff 5:00 spin off info

Love the SNEAKERS Hoody. Such an underrated movie.

In Lord Of The Rings when Gandalf the Grey “died” he came back as Gandalf the White…. Will they do a version of that for Eddie?

You are both geniuses.....!!!!

please for the love of my stranger things life bring back Eddie he is my absolute favorite character

everyone is forgetting that the upside down is stuck when will first disappears. season 5 finale will be eleven somehow reversing everything saving hawkins and not surviving the process. last scene of season 5 will be a flashback of will finding eleven in the woods except this time they don't find her. or something along those lines. Now that the Upside down has leaked into the real world, this time reversal thing is even more plausible in my eyes. Not to mention the overall time imagery of the 4th season with the clock etc.

Duffer Brothers just took him away like villains
