Characters Who Didn’t Deserve to Die in Stranger Things

‘Stranger Things’ has established itself as among Netflix’s top popular show. And we all loved watching it. Let’s discuss something interesting about it.

The show is amazing because of the compelling personalities at the period and in the place. Stranger Things is full of shocks and heartwarming moments, and each death of a beloved character teaches us that horrible things can happen to good people.

When we talk about the characters who died in stranger things we surely know some of them didn’t deserve this unusual circumstances. So, let’s remember the characters who will always be in our memories.

‘Stranger Things’ Characters Who Didn’t Deserve To Die

Let’s get over this. Here’s a list of characters in Stranger Things, that definitely didn’t deserve to die.

1. Billy Hargrove (Max’s Brother)

As we all know, Billy’s past and the reasons for his rudeness toward her sister Max are well-known. Though we initially felt he was self-centered, learning about his background shattered all of ours heart.

He loved his mother so much that they would spend time together at the beach and other places, as they’ve showed us. His father was physically abusive to him and his mother.

And because of his father had married another woman, he was enraged, which is why he disliked his stepsister.

And, as we all know, he was seized by the mind flayer in the end. He expressed regret to her sister and engaged in combat with the demogorgan, he tried he tried so hard to fight but eventually he died.

(I simply feel horrible for the characters who start out as evil but turn out to be so kind when it’s time for them to go. Ughh, upsetting but okay.)

2. Benny Hammond

He was the proprietor and cook of Benny’s Burgers, a Hawkins, Indiana eatery at 4819 Randolph Lane.

Benny decided to help an odd and untidy little girl by supplying her with food and contacting Social Services after spotting her. However, he would die as a result of his good deed at the hands of DOE agent Connie Frazier.

As a stranger, he was so good to Eleven and definitely didn’t deserve to die.

3. Barbara Holland (Nancy Wheeler’s Bestfriend)

Nancy’s growing popularity worried Barb, especially when it came to her burgeoning relationship with Steve Harrington. Barb consented to attend a party at Steve’s house since she didn’t want to jeopardise their friendship.

She was worried about Nancy and felt that Steve wasn’t good for her but Nancy just ignored her and told her to go home, because Nancy wanted to be with Steve (as you guys know what I’m talking about).

Barb, on the other hand, did not return home; she remained near the pool and Blood from her wound which she got before by opening a beer can was dripped through her bandage and was dissolved in the water.

The aroma drew the Demogorgon to her, who appeared behind her and dragged her into the Upside Down.

This demonstrates the importance of listening to the advice of a loved one who genuinely cares about you before it’s too late.

Nancy’s heart was broken by this tragedy, but in the end, a funeral was planned for Barbara and it gave a bit of satisfaction for the audience.

4. Bob The Brain

He was Joyce Byers’ lover and worked as the manager of the town’s Radio Shack.

Will, Joyce’s son, began to have memory problems and seizures as a result of a tunnel that was slowly forming in Hawkins. Weird dog-like animals from the tunnel began attacking the Hawkins National Laboratory while the Byers and others were caring for Will there.

Bob assisted Joyce and the others flee by utilising his computer abilities to disable the security system, but he was cruelly trampled to death in front of her by a juvenile Demogorgon.

Even though Jonathan and Will weren’t his blood sons, he was a true lover who strove to be a wonderful husband and parent.

5. Hopper

Hopper was the Chief of Police in Hawkins, Indiana, a tiny, tranquil town where he used to live a carefree existence while being haunted by a traumatic past.

Hopper’s life grew much more problematic after an old acquaintance, Joyce Byers, reported that her son, Will, had inexplicably vanished.

He realises Will’s abduction was caused by a Hawkins National Laboratory experiment. And assists Joyce in finding her son through an other dimension known as the Upside Down. Where they are able to safely return him home.

As we all know, Hopper used to live with Eleven in secret and never told anyone. Also, eleven used to scream at him for not allowing her to meet Mike. But she had no idea it was for her own protection.

Finally, he died when Joyce halted the machine that was opening the gate.

After that when Joyce came out hugging Will, her eyes were all saying to eleven that Hopper sacrificed himself. That was one of the most heartbreaking moment for all the viewers.

But wait wait wait!
