“lucas, i’m scared. i’m so scared. i’m so scared. i don't wanna die. i’m not ready. i don't wanna go! i’m not ready.” if the duffers kill max in s5 after that we will be having words.
#not only would it destroy the message of hope and perseverance in the face of personal struggles- the message that’s been a consistent
#thread through all four seasons- it would make max’s first “death” scene incredibly pointless when it could have been
#so impactful had it been real
#obviously i very much want max alive and healthy and happy but there’s something so cinematic and so awe-inspiring about that
#shot of max in lucas’ arms with el by her side and the blue light bouncing off their blood-and-tear-soaked faces
#before the camera draws back and begins to spin over them... anyway. my point is:
#i will be very angry if they end up killing max via coma when they had OPTIONS. well. one option. but it was a really extraordinary option.
#her death in s5 despite /everything/ would cheapen the final season immensely and would come off as almost laughably
#desperate- but above all so so CRUEL to max and her friends
#if she can't live and she can't just die in the attic don't prolong her and her friends' suffering for a far less impactful departure
#and furthermore if she can’t live don’t purposefully degrade the meaning and remove the consequences
#of a visually and emotionally stunning moment to string along viewers who want to know if max is going to be okay either!!!!
#they're already on thin ice from the whole 'el revives max' thing (which i will expand upon in another post) but i've made my peace with it
#because it kept max alive and it would actually tear me in two if she died for real but even so. thin fucking ice. to drag max over to
#another season after all of that fragile ice walking- only to pass on resolving her arc in a careful way- would be devastating.
#in terms of emotional and visual impact we have ‘max actually dying in the creel attic’ up /here/
#(imagine my hand hovering slightly above my hairline)
#‘max pulling through the coma and learning to survive and thrive’ right /here/ (hand at eyeline)
#and ‘max dying at the hospital’ allllll the way down /here/ (hand at stomach)
#which would really fucking SUCK
#to be clear i think she’s going to pull through the coma (thank god) because a) the duffers are cowarddddds and b) narrative reasons that
#i don’t have enough time energy or tag space to elaborate on
#but i also have trust issues from this season so i can envision a scenario in which they metaphorically pull the rug out from under
#us and we all riot at dawn together <3
