It is metal-rocker and Dungeon Master Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) who perishes in this season of Stranger Things. Long dwell Eddie Munson and his wonderful hair!

Much like Barb Holland and Bob Newby earlier than him, Eddie follows the pattern of being launched this season simply to die.

As chief of the Hellfire Club, Eddie was prime suspect primary in the murders and spent his ultimate days hiding away from the indignant mob of basketball jocks.

How does Eddie die?

In the depths of the Upside Down, Eddie and Dustin group as much as distract among the creepy bat monsters. Eddie performs a sick guitar solo, and so they find yourself hunkering down in the Upside Down model of his trailer. While Dustin is ready to make an escape, Eddie decides to purchase all of them extra time and heads again to struggle off some monsters. The battle grows extra intense, and there’s a second when Eddie decides to simply run off — however then he remembers how, when Chrissy died, he didn’t do something and simply ran away.

So, Eddie turns again round and makes a final stand, combating off sufficient bat monsters in order that the remainder of the Hawkins gang can pull off their grand heist. When they lastly defeat Vecna, Dustin runs again to search out Eddie. He tries to get Eddie up to allow them to go to a hospital, however Eddie says he simply wants a second to relaxation, which mainly means he’s about to die. With his dying breaths, Eddie makes Dustin promise him that he’ll maintain “those little sheep” for him as a result of he’s truly gonna graduate. And then he tells Dustin he loves him and dies.

While Eddie dies a hero, solely our lead characters know something about it. The remainder of the city merely thinks he’s lacking in the ruckus of the “earthquake,” and he’s nonetheless needed for the murders. Dustin does handle to search out Eddie’s uncle and provides him Eddie’s guitar choose necklace, explaining as finest as he can that Eddie died defending the city, although the city hated him. Eddie’s loss of life is already actually unhappy, however the truth that most of Hawkins nonetheless thinks he’s a bloodthirsty cult chief makes it all of the extra devastating.

I do know Max survived, so is there an opportunity Eddie may come again?

Probably not! The key distinction is that Max’s loss of life was largely carried out by Vecna’s thoughts management, and Eleven was capable of kinda reverse that and convey Max again to life. She is, nonetheless, nonetheless deep in a coma, so there’s no phrase on whether or not she’ll get up (she most likely will, although). Meanwhile, Eddie was repeatedly slashed and stabbed by these bat thingies and positively died of bodily wounds. Stranger issues have occurred on Stranger Things, but it surely does seem to be Eddie is certainly deadie.

But I needed him to kiss Steve and/or Chrissy!

Didn’t all of us? The good (???) information is that now each he and Chrissy are lifeless, so when you’re a Chrissy/Eddie shipper (like Chrissy actress Grace Van Dien is), they’re now reunited in the Stranger Things afterlife, wherever which may be.
