Spoilers ahead for the fourth season of Strange things on netflix.
The last two episodes of Strange things Season 4 passed the point of no return , with cracks opening into the Upside Down and pushing Hawkins’ death toll to double digits. Most of those who died in Hawkins were off-screen, but viewers saw basketball star and mob boss Jason (played by actor Mason Dye) die a gruesome death. Probably few tears have been shed among fans over Jason’s death after all the damage he did to the heroes, and visual effects supervisor Justin Mitchell sat down with Gossipify to explain how the effects team made this possible. .
Justin Mitchell and Scanline vfx team guaranteed that Jason’s relatively quick death was also quite memorable and very gruesome, as he was the first victim of the cracks that opened at Hawkins. The Supervisor discussed designing the effects for Jason to die and said:
We had a digital render of Jason, which was animated to match what the actor was doing on set, and then there were a number of different simulations that were put together to create the final effects. So there were definitely some animated textures crawling across his body to combine what was photography and the CGI effect of merging him. So, for the fusion part of things there, we created fabric simulations and fluid and particle simulations to make it look like it was eroding. It was practically melting. The crack was melting through him.
From Jason’s interference in the Creel house when Lucas was there ready to destroy Kate Bush for max It’s safe to say that Vecna managed to kill her, and that was after leading Eddie’s witch hunt and fueling Hawkins’ satanic panic all season. He’s not the most complained character of season 4. Justin Mitchell shared that his death was “highly anticipated”. and the fans were probably “happy to see him go in such an epic way”.
Jason may have been lucky to already be unconscious when the rift opened and melted through him in House Creel. The “epic” moment for fans was another example of Strange things upping the ante for gruesome deaths, after spending the first eight episodes showing what Vecna could do to its victims. Justin Mitchell went on to explain one of the key images of Jason’s disappearance, beyond the blending effect:
And of course, it was important to have all of his inner parts within the character so that he didn’t feel like a shell. One of the key images was seeing a rib cage, which is kind of a distinctive identifier of what’s going on and that his guts are leaking and we can see all that’s left is his skeleton.
It cannot be said that Jason’s death was left ambiguous Strange things! maximum the current state is uncertain as she is technically (albeit temporarily) deceased and Eleven couldn’t find her when she was in a coma, and fans weren’t quite sure about Dr. Brenner and the late Eddie. that the Duffer brothers came out to solve the case But the former high school basketball star is no longer among the living.
Obviously, Jason has been acting based on limited information throughout the season, and he firmly believed Eddie killed Chrissy and Lucas hurt Max at Creel House, so he won’t be classified as the worst villain. Strange things history. Vecna is likely to take home the top prize in this category unless it is revealed that the Mind Flayer was the big villain throughout the fifth and final season.
Jamie Campbell Bower, who played Vecna, has spoken how he prepared to play the bad guy who wreaked havoc in and out of the Upside Down in season 4, and revealed how the firing order affected their performance . Vecna was still alive, albeit injured, at the end of the season, and could harbor even more grudges against Eleven than he had before their rematch in the Final.
The heroes also lost one of them with Eddie’s death, following the scene. which actor Joseph Quinn initially thought “shouldn’t work.” The actor also talked about his positive experiences during his time Strange thingsincluded a heartwarming revelation of what he’s most proud of after playing Eddie . There is no doubt that her character will be missing a lot more than Jason when season 5 finally arrives.

Unfortunately, it’s unclear exactly when to expect the Season 5 premiere, and fans can only hope that the wait after this cliffhanger won’t be as long as the wait between seasons 3 and 4.
