Spoilers follow for the final two episodes ofStranger Thingss fourth season, which debuted on Netflix on July 1.

For the most part, the majorStranger Thingsnames were safe.
But which of the deaths thatdidgo down during this seasons nine episodes hit the hardest?
Lets do some morbid ranking from most to least devastating.
1.Eddie Munson
1.
Admittedly, I did not see this characters appeal at first!
But probably midway throughVol.
2.Max Mayfield (maybe!)
Max would have been No.
1 if she stayed dead, butStranger Thingsprovided us with a technicality we have to honor.
Remember howGame of Thronespretended for ten months that Jon Snow was dead when hevery obviouslywasgoing to return?
The loss of Max hurts right now, but hopefully it isnt permanent.
Sam Owens (also a maybe!)
Is this another technicality?
Maybe, because we dont exactly see Dr. Owens die at the bottom of that abandoned laboratory.
4.Chrissy Cunningham
4.
Her friendship with Eddie was quietly charming, and the trauma she was living with was agonizing.
Actress Grace Van Dien did a lot with a little.
5.Fred Benson
5.
Pretty crappy of 001, IMHO!
6.Patrick McKinney
6.
Peace out, Papa.
I am not sorry to see you go!
Taking her collar off was nice, but you put it on in the first place?
So net zero there.
8.Jason Carver
8.
I have only one reaction to this death:the Ryan Gosling Bye!
wave.Bye, Jason, you jerk!
Trying to kill Lucas?
Going all white-suburbia vigilante?
You absolutely cannot live after that.
9.22 Hawkins citizens killed in the earthquake
9.
Unnamed by news reports but upsetting nevertheless unless some of the 22 were involved in hunting down Eddie.
If so, good riddance!
10.A bunch of military and scientist randos
10.
They died while hunting and harming children.
My sympathy is very low.
