Fans Think These Characters Should Team Up In Stranger Things Season 5
Whilefans have some intense theories about the fifth season, they also have talked about the characters they think would be fun to watch inStranger Thingsseason 5. In a Reddit thread about “unlikely duos,” many viewers said they would like toseeEleven team up with various characterssince she hasn’t gotten one-on-one time with everyone. While Eleven has been close to Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) in the past, and she has dated Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) for several seasons, fans would like tosee Eleven with Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) or Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo).Eleven would see things from a new perspective, which could help her fight Vecna. Redditor @PrinceTrexus would also like to see:
“El and Nancy. Both of them share the knowledge of Vecna’s past that they could use to their advantage.”
Redditor @AlternateBrittania also thinksEleven and Will need more screen time together. The fan wrote:
“Both have got a lot to do with the UD and I feel like there is a lot of missed potential in the two.”
Several fans think Jim Hopper (David Harbor) and Steve Harrington (Joe Kerry) would be a great matchbecause they would bond, learn from each other, and leave their interactions even stronger than they were before. Afterwhat Hopper experienced in season 4, he definitely needs to have more fun inStranger Thingsseason 5. Redditor @Key_Shallot_2415 wrote:
“Hopper could see himself in Steve and takes on the responsibility of mentoring him. I can picture the both of them fighting an army of democreatures together.”
Redditor @uhh-adam agreed that Hopper and Steve would be a fun character duo. The fan said Hopper could show Steve what he wants to do with his life. This idea works well sincea lot needs to happen inStranger Thingsseason 5and the show has to tell fans where everyone ends up. The fan wrote:
“I kind of want hopper to inspire Steve in a way. Like maybe Steve finds purpose in protecting others and joins the police force/other agency. Two very protective guys protecting.”
Fans suggested other great character duos such asErica Sinclair (Priah Ferguson) and Max,Robin Buckley (Maya Hawke) and Will, and Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) and Mike. These would all work since Erica and Max would outsmart the creatures in the Upside Down, Robin would show Will compassion, and Nancy and Mike would finally bond.
Who Are The Best Stranger Things Character Duos?
There are several great character duos in seasons 1 through 4 ofStranger Things, but many would agree thatthe best character duo is Steve and Dustin. The two connect in the first season, which surprises both since there are many years between them.
InStranger Thingsseason 4,Dustin connects with Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn). This causes a bit of tension between Steve and Dustin since Steve feels a little displaced and envious. Not everyone agrees onwhether Eddie should come back inStranger Thingsseason 5, but either way, Eddie plays an important part in the fourth season. In an interview withNetflix.tudum.comin May 2022, Matarazzo talked about the compelling dynamic between the characters:
“Steve helped him feel confident, but Eddie made him feel accepted for who he is. Not that he isn’t grateful for what Steve has always provided him.”
