Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has finally come forward to give his take on the drama surrounding his statements that angered netizens.

‘Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp Makes a Solemn Call For “peace and safety” Amidst Online Backlash

The Stranger Things [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] cast has
been on location in Atlanta for weeks filming the last season of the Netflix
series. However, people in online communities have been calling to disrupt the
show and remove Noah Schnapp, who portrays Will Byers in it. This backlash is a
result of the actor’s statements on the Israel-Palestine conflict from last
year. As a central character in the sci-fi show, Schnapp is an indispensable
piece of the puzzle the show will finally complete in season 5.

With tensions still running high, the 19-year-old has come forward to share his
thoughts on it all. 


NOAH SCHNAPP TRIES TO DE-ESCALATE THE BACKLASH   

Yesterday, Schnapp shared a video on his TikTok account, clarifying his previous
statements. He felt that his “thoughts and beliefs” were being “misconstrued” by
people and that he simply wanted to speak from his “heart”. For him, the “peace
and safety and security” of victims affected by the conflict was what was
paramount. According to him, “open discussions” were key because they helped him
learn “a lot”.

According to the Abe actor, everybody was hoping for “the same things”
especially because of the “loss of innocent life” in particular that of “women
and children”. The actor reached out through social media to try and calm the
online ecosphere, spewing judgment over him and the state of affairs across the
ocean. Maybe his statements achieve the effect of appeasing those who demanded
his removal from Stranger Things.

In a way, the series might just find it impossible to finish its narrative if
Schnapp is removed for this reason. 


SEASON 5 OF STRANGER THINGS CENTERS ON WILL BYERS

Ever since season 4 ended, fans of Stranger Things have heavily theorized the
possibility of Will Byers becoming the main character in season 5. Then, in
August last year, co-director Ross Duffer gave a nod to this speculation
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-stranger-things-creators-confirm-the-show-will-come-full-circle-through-this-aspect-of-will-byers/].
He revealed in an interview that the younger Byers brother will kick off a
series of events simply by “coming into his own as a young man.”

According to Duffer, one aspect of Byers that will finally come to light is “his
sexuality”. Well, many believe Will to be queer and in love with his best
friend. So, Schnapp’s character, who spent the majority of season 4 in the
shadows of the Hawkins gang, will finally enter the spotlight beside Millie
Bobby Brown [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/millie-bobby-brown/]’s Eleven.
Therefore, the 19-year-old actor’s presence is crucial to the show receiving its
intended finale.
