why do I have to see Murray’s balding ass???? according to the duffers and stranger things writing process, he’s served his purpose—should’ve been gone after S3 if not S2 so why do I have to see him over and over again? why did this fucker get a call so he can keep pointing out the obvious?

they’ll keep the raging z*onist but not Kali (Eleven’s sister character who was meant to just be edgy but brought so much depth to herself AND El, 008, test subject with fucking powers that would be beneficial in taking down Vecna) or Argyle (literal ride or die who got roped into the upside down business, was shot at with his friends, buried a dead body, drove across the country to reunite the group, is linked to the group in multiple ways, played a similar role as Robin’s in ST3 but apparently he doesn’t get to stay).

they’ll keep the ugly, old white guy who is just a companion at this point but not the POCs that go MIA after they’re used to further the plot for a white main character.

I need people to stop spouting total bullshit and say "It makes sense Argyle isn't in s5 he has a family back home". The fucking government chased his car the entirety of season 5 while shooting at him, he is a literal active government fugitive. It is genuinely bad writing to just have him disappear in s5 like nothing happened and doesn't make sense. He's not going home to his parents or to Utah to bang Eden like nothing happened. S5 also clearly has extra space for another teenager given that Vickie is getting a bigger role. Stop spouting Bullshit. They just don't want him in season 5. Idk why people can't be honest and acknowledge it. Just BTW these are the only two major characters who only showed up for one season and never showed up again and aren't dead.

Wonder why it's just these 2 eh?

listen i know “‘we want women who [x]’ you guys couldnt even handle [y]” is a meme now but i will never ever forget being a teenager when the second season of stranger things dropped and they introduced a morally-grey badass punk anticapitalist woman of color with SUPERPOWERS who was taking justified revenge on the people who tortured her and her siblings and genuinely loved the people around her and had the most sick-ass style on top of it and then going online and seeing the fanbase proceeding to HATE on her SO much that they declared the Actual Textual Racist the breakout character of the season instead and it’s been literal YEARS since she’s even been MENTIONED so. yeah you guys couldn’t even handle kali

I think the Duffer Brothers' history with racism in their show goes a lot deeper than a lot of people realize.

Lucas as a character has three distinct B plot stories that get assigned to him: being a minor antagonist to Eleven in season one, being a good friend to the rest of the Party, and being in love with his girlfriend. While Mike's plot is directly centered around two of the most pivotal characters of the show, Dustin is given two different role model characters that shape his arc and is overall the genius that helps the rest of the cast get out of several difficult situations, Will still being connected to the Upside Down after his disappearance in 1983 and that playing into several major plots, Max having a multitude of centric storylines especially in season four and Eleven literally being THE main character- Lucas is only ever given plots that help serve and uplift the other (white) characters. Unless you count him... playing basketball and being friends with Jason. I guess?

Erica is similar to Lucas, but to a much larger degree. I'd like you reading this to think of any single Erica standalone plot in the show that has nothing to do with/does not predominantly or solely benefit the white characters around her. I'll wait.

The Sinclair parents are only touched on in brief sections for the sake of filling the episodes, only ever playing a more major role in Season Four. If you could call it that. I'm sure most of you couldn't even tell me their names off of the top of your heads. (It's Charles and Sue, by the way.)

Argyle was the first somewhat major character of color to be introduced to the show after Erica played her part in season three. I could say similar things about his role in the season overall that I can about Lucas and Erica. Except they set him up to play a bigger role in the next season at the end of season four, going as far as to show him in Hawkins and have Jancy verbally allude to him sticking around, only for the show heads to ghost Eduardo Franco and let him find out he wasn't being brought back through an official social media cast photo.

Kali was a former subject from the same lab El came from, having escaped and subsequently began to lead a vigilante life of enacting revenge on those who played a hand in her suffering. She was the first subject El ever met after leaving the lab, shown to be incredibly powerful and strong-willed. Her and El had an immediate connection, calling themselves sisters right after meeting. But after El was finished with her self-discovery period on the S.S. Kali Gang for one (1) often-forgotten and poorly-written episode, Kali was quite literally abandoned both in spirit and on screen, never to be seen or even mentioned again.

All other characters of color are either killed violently (Patrick), have like ten minutes of screentime total (Jeff and Calvin Powell), or are just straight up background only and may not even have names.

They can dedicate an entire section of season four's plot to Suzie's family, but not to genuine character development for Erica or for Kali to return. They can make room for a whole pointless predatory plot between Billy and Karen, but not to give a more important role to the Sinclair parents. They have room to include a whole plot about El getting bullied in school, but not for Lucas to have a more meaningful story outside of his white friends and girlfriend. They can platform three known white zionists while Palestine currently undergoes a gruesome genocide even as I type this, but they don't have room for Argyle in season five (or even the decency to give Eduardo a fucking phone call).

Not only do the Duffers constantly write themselves into holes because they keep adding unnecessary fodder to the plot, and refuse to kill ANY of their main characters in favor of just creating new characters for the sake of killing them off in mediocre ways despite the fact that they're trying to fit 20+ B plots into 8-9 40-50 minute episodes per season and wondering why half their show doesn't make sense- The time they DO dedicate to character-specific B plots and character arc progression visibly favor the white characters.

If I watch S5, and that's a huge if, I will be sailing the high seas. Between all of this, the fact that they filmed part of season four in an old Nazi prison and tried to turn it into a fucking AirBNB, and the fact that at least four people who play major roles in the show actively support the current genocide of Palestine- I won't be giving them (or Netflix for that matter) another cent of my money.

While you're here, please do your completely free daily click to send aid to Palestine, and here's a list of other resources for how to help more directly.

I get people are upset that Eduardo didn't get a call to say he wasn't coming back to season 5 but, guys remember these actors are under heavy NDAs. Even if Argyle is coming back, in any capacity, Eduardo would not be able to reveal that. Maybe they filmed the pre-time-skip stuff already, as some people have theorised, and Argyle doesn't come back after that for whatever reason. Maybe Argyle is in the full season but they're not filming his scenes until later so he hasn't been called in yet. In either circumstance, he wouldn't be able to confirm that since it would be a spoiler, however minor.

The same goes for Kali. If she's coming back, they're not going to spoil that by showing pictures of Linnea Berthelsen on set. Don't leap to the worst conclusions just because actors who can't say anything are giving the only answers they can.
