“I was not expecting this”- Sadie Sink on Max’s Fate in ‘Stranger Things&#8217;

The fourth season of Netflix’s most popular series, Stranger Things, has been a
buzz. Especially one of its stars, Sadie Sink. Sink has been a part of many
critically acclaimed projects after the show. One of them is The Whale, which
was recently screened at the Venice Film Festival. Sadie’s character, Max
Mayfield, was one of those who survived Vecna’s attack in season 4 of the show.
However, the season ended with her almost dead. It will become clear in the next
season whether she survives or not.



If a character gets a lot of new fans, it’s not unusual for the showrunners to
change their minds about killing them. This is perhaps why Sadie Sink’s
astonishment at finding out about her destiny was so great when she discovered
the Duffer Brothers initially planned to conclude season 4 with Max dying. Sink
recently spoke out about her genuine thoughts on Max’s outcome in an interview
with W Magazine
[https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/sadie-sink-stranger-things-season-5-interview].

SADIE SINK DIDN’T KNOW THE ENDING OF SEASON 4 YET

At the end of the season, Max is in a coma and hooked up to machines in a
hospital bed. Luckily, Eleven can use some of her skills to bring her back to
life. According to Sadie, the stars never really know what will happen next
until they get the final script. She did not know what happened to Max until she
got the script for episode 9.

Sadie told the magazine, “When I got the script for episode 9, it said that Max
dies but that she sort of comes back. It’s uncertain, but she’s not fully
dead.” In Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]
season 4, Max is put through a lot, leading to possibly the finest sequence in
the series to date.

According to Sadie, Season 4 was a difficult road for her. “I definitely knew
nothing good would happen, but I was not expecting this—this was a crazy, crazy
end,” she said. She thinks that the Duffer Brothers are preparing Max for a
major event, given all she went through.

Let’s all hope that Max gets better in the show’s season finale and we get to
see more of the brilliant Sadie Sink. Do tell us in the comments what you think
might happen.
