Just the Stranger Stuff:

The last season of Stranger Things was filmed a while ago. What was it like to sit on the show’s secrets for so long?
I know that there have been dramas about people spoiling things at press events, but no one seems to press me very hard on it. I’ve never gotten any angry calls from Netflix. Maybe it’s because I go on talk shows and say, “I don’t know what happens!”

Millie Bobby Brown has said that the Duffer Brothers need to start killing characters — the cast is so large it can’t even fit in a photo. Do you agree?
Well, it’s the last season, so people are probably going to die. I would love to die and get my hero’s moment. I’d love to die with honor, as any actor would. But I love the way that the Duffer Brothers love their actors. The reason that they write so beautifully for me and for everyone else is because they fall in love with their actors and their characters, and they don’t want to kill them. I think that’s a beautiful quality that they have, and I wouldn’t wish it away.

I really can’t have Robin die, because I’ve been dreaming of a Nineties spinoff featuring her and Steve.
Where we go to New York and we’re just partying in the clubs and figuring our shit out. Normally I wouldn’t really be a proponent of a spinoff, but if I got to do it with Joe Keery, I would do anything. He’s so funny and wonderful and smart, and he’s got great boundaries. He’s an excellent coworker, and I would do anything with him.

Are you shipping Steve and Nancy?
I think that Robin’s definitely shipping Steve and Nancy. I think that Robin definitely wants whatever would make Steve the happiest, which appears to certainly be Nancy. I personally think that the thing that’s so beautiful about the show: it actually has never really been about romance. People are always shipping characters in that show, but really that show’s about friendship.

There’s such an over-emphasis in media that we consume about romantic love, and it being the ultimate destination that we’re all supposed to arrive at. Find this one perfect person and then everything’s good and the story’s over. Part of me would ship it way more if the story wasn’t ending, but there’s something about our female heroes always getting endings — which is them finding the right guy — that I’m super over.

Like you said about “Mermaid Bar” and finding your chosen family.
I think that’s what adult life is really about: those friendships that you find, and those other little weird sea creatures that you discover in the big ocean of the world, who have your back and help you grow up into the kind of adult that you’re going to be and build this network of support. I think that the show is really wonderful in that way, it has all these beautiful friendships. I hope that Nancy — whether she’s with Jonathan or Steve — gets an ending that feels rewarding in that way, too.

tl;dr - Maya wants Robin to die a heroic death, unless they give her and Steve a 90s spinoff.
