Matt and Ross Duffer, in addition to Shawn Levy, claim that Sadie Sink’s character is the true protagonist of season 4 on Netflix.
‘Stranger Things’ is finally going to premiere, after three years of waiting, its fourth season. The first 5 episodes will arrive on Netflix on May 27 and the last four on July 1. Although we have already seen a teaser, a trailer and the first eight minutes of the season, the truth is that most of its content remains a mystery. Of course, we know that Eleven is going to fight to get her powers back from him and that Hopper is going to have a really hard time in Russia. However, it seems that the series will have another new center, Max.
The character of Sadie Sink arrived in the second season to balance out the female leg of the gang a bit and give both Dustin and Lucas a romantic interest. In the third installment, her relationship with Lucas develops, but her friendship with Eleven also grows and we discover that her older brother bullies her. At the end of the season, however, he sacrifices himself to save her and we say goodbye to her alone in her house, remembering a brother with whom the relationship will never be fixed.
It seems that season 4 begins with Max and his problems as one of the fundamental pivots of this approach, and if there was someone from the younger squad who deserved more prominence, it was Sink. According to series creators Matt and Ros Duffer, and director/executive producer Shawn Levy, Mav shines this season. Speaking to IGN Ross Duffer described Max as the “emotional center of the season”. The brothers wanted to give Sink something he “could really sink his teeth into this year.”
Levy calls the fourth episode of the season, ‘Dear Billy’, a “Sadie anthem”, adding that it was the episode they had been waiting to give Sink “since the day we met her”.
Sink herself described Max in season 4 as “a little bit closer to where she was in season 2, because she had this guard up just being the new kid”.
In season 3, she loosens up a bit and we get to see a funnier, more comfortable version of Max. But with season 4 she went back to her old ways, but in another extreme. She took it to another level. So she kind of feels familiar, but it’s really heartbreaking to watch. It’s almost as if life has run out.
In the trailer we see her rising up into the air and in front of a clock about which Matt Duffer teases: “I shouldn’t have seen that clock, it’s not a good sign.” She will also face problems with Lucas who, while she is down, becomes one of the high school’s favorites as a member of the basketball team.
