Fans of the hit Netflix show “Stranger Things” are buzzing after Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin Henderson, revealed his pitch for his character’s death in the upcoming Season 5.

During a recent appearance on “Mythical Kitchen”, Matarazzo expressed openness to Dustin’s demise, claiming it should be a “surprise” and “something you wouldn’t expect.” He then described a scenario involving a chaotic hallway shootout, leaving Dustin fatally wounded with a bullet wound to the chest.

While Matarazzo’s pitch seems fitting for the show’s violent tone, fans on TikTok expressed disappointment with the lack of creativity, citing the cliche nature of the death scene. Many pointed out that the method of death was already employed in Season 3 with the character of Alexei.

While some fans might be saddened by Dustin’s potential fate, others are simply frustrated by the lack of originality. Some argue that Matarazzo, who previously stated his belief that more characters should have died in the series, should have come up with a more unique and memorable end for his character.

The show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, haven’t commented on Matarazzo’s pitch or whether they’re considering it for Season 5. However, fans are left to speculate about what the future holds for Dustin and the other characters in the final season of “Stranger Things.”
