Stranger Things 5 Trailer Reveals Max’s Shocking Coma—Is This the End for Her?

by

The trailer for Season 5 of “Stranger Things” has shed light on Max’s future, and unfortunately, it doesn’t look promising. In the previous season, Sadie Sink’s character Max (introduced in Season 2) took significant risks, engaging with the dangerous Vecna through a ritual involving Kate Bush’s music and ending up in a coma by the season’s end after her life was put at stake.

As a fervent cinephile, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the unveiling of Stranger Things Season 5, and my patience has finally been rewarded with the release of its tantalizing trailer. Although the fresh footage was sparse within the trailer itself, it did provide a definitive update on Max’s destiny—a revelation that offers some insight into the upcoming season’s narrative.

At the start of the season, a trailer was unveiled during Netflix’s yearly TUDUM celebration, offering brief glances of upcoming episodes. Among these, there was also a quick glimpse into Sadie Sink’s character.

It appears that the show suggests she may not recover from the coma she entered while fighting Vecna in Season 4, contrary to some people’s hopes.

In the short glimpse we had of the character in the trailer, she appears motionless on a hospital bed. Caleb McLaughlin’s character, Lucas, is seated by her side.

Max appears to no longer be wearing the numerous splints and orthodontic appliances that were noticeable at the end of the previous season. However, it seems her progress hasn’t been significant enough for fans to notice a marked improvement. It remains unclear whether she is awake or not when Season 5 arrives, but based on the trailer clips, it appears her condition has not shown signs of improvement.

In the last season of the series, she might not meet her end, but instead could become less influential, spending most of the final episodes confined to bed.

At long last, the fifth season of Stranger Things is all set to premiere, marking the conclusion of The Duffer Brothers’ extraordinary sci-fi journey. This new installment will make its debut on Netflix, divided into three parts: the first part arrives on November 26, followed by part two on Christmas Day (December 25), and the concluding part (and final chapter) on New Year’s Eve (December 31).

In the upcoming fifth season, we follow Millie Bobby Brown’s character Eleven and her high school companions, which include Finn Woldhard’s Mike and Gaten Matarazzo’s Dustin, as they confront the threats lurking in a mysterious dimension called “The Upside Down.

Will Max Survive in Stranger Things 5?

At the conclusion of Season 4 in “Stranger Things”, it’s Max who remains in a hospital bed. The central query now is whether her character will make it through Season 5.

It appears that Sadie Sink’s character may still be in a coma-like state, and it’s yet to be determined how much she will feature in the upcoming season. Generally, a completely unresponsive character doesn’t provide the most engaging scenes for viewers on either the big or small screen.

Although Sadie Sink’s ‘Stranger Things’ character remains hospitalized and appears unconscious, she is being highlighted as a crucial figure for Season 5. Her name surfaces among the key cast members for the upcoming episodes, which could suggest a significant role for her in both the penultimate and final season of the series.

It’s possible that Max might serve as a messenger to the Upside Down given her encounter with the frightening Vecna and her survival. Although she is in a coma, Max could embody the role of a significant character by having Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven communicate with her subconscious from the other side, making Max a crucial link to the Upside Down.

This situation might drive the character to a breaking point, possibly resulting in Max’s demise during Season 5. This tragic event could inspire the rest of the characters to band together and combat the malevolent entities from the series’ dark, otherworldly realm.
