Stranger Things

broke the norms for what a teenage science fiction is supposed to be as it amazed the world and became a global phenomenon that has carried on through more than a decade. From a unique plot with never seen before horrifying demo gorgons and a shrill inducing Vecna to characters that not only went through significant character development but also collided to give us some of the best love stories. However, with Season 5 of Stranger Things

around the corner, one of these love stories is set to meet its conclusion or so fans are made to think.

From Nancy and Jonathan to Eleven and Mike the show has provided a couple catering to everyone’s sweet tooth. However, it was Max and Lucas where the perfect balance was struck. With Max in a coma, and the brewing question being if she will survive and what is next for the couple if she does, Caleb McLauglin has told Film Stocked

that “things might go lef

t.” And surprisingly, fans have taken it pretty well.

Caleb McLaughlin on Lucas and Max’s Future in #StrangerThings5: ‘Things might go left’

“I just don’t know if things are going to go well for them. I think things might go left.

I just don’t think things are going to end for them the way we want them to end.” pic.twitter.com/8baUnHJ6Fs

The dark clouds have been making the round around Stranger Things

but with the saddening conclusion of the previous season, if things are ever going to be sunny in Hawkins again. This was especially true in the case of Max and Lucas as the latter failed to save her.

With Caleb McLaughlin’s statement, fans have brought about theories with spoonfuls of reality regarding what is going to happen to the couple.

With the upcoming season being set to be the final one of Stranger Things

, the cast and crew have kept their cards close, with the only real telltale sign being put forth was the tying of the threads left open. In the show that has gone on for more than half a decade, there are quite a lot of loose ends, and amidst all this, the chances of Max and Lucas getting a perfect ending especially after what the former has gone through were close to none.

I know people don’t want to hear this, but not every couple can be endgame. I see Lucas and Max as great first loves that will go their separate ways and always remember each other with fondness. And I personally think that is kind of beautiful. But we’ll see. 😊 https://t.co/gApFasgD90

Here’s my thoughts, what if max woke up from her coma and doesn’t want anything to do with Lucas cause she blames him for not turning the music on? Not knowing ofc Jason intervened and broke it, I’m surprised nobody’s rlly mentioned this possibility

I hope that doesn’t happen but you’re right it’s possible

Analyzing the dynamics between Max and Lucas, a few fans were of the thought that while they were perfect first loves for each other, they were “not endgame

.”

I’m honestly taking this as Max dies tbh

I honestly think Caleb is just getting people’s emotions on edge. Everyone is at risk this season, there won’t be much happiness for anyone, but I still think they make it through together. Max will wake up surprised that Lucas is there, and he will tell her “ I Never Left” 😁

While some fans took the statement and immediately thought of the worst, others held on to the drying ray of hope that the actor was simply gaslighting fans to think otherwise.
