After the conclusion of Stranger Things, some stars criticized the messaging habits of the Duffer Brothers. Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers, brought up the "unanswered" messages he sent to the show's creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, during an FYC event at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Schnapp noted that after feeling excitement and fear when he first entered the sets as a child, he gradually realized his growing attachment to his character and the importance of his opinions. "As a kid, you feel a bit nervous and scared, thinking your opinion isn’t valuable," Schnapp said, adding, "But as you grow up, you understand that you’ve been with this character for years and that you have an important opinion too." He expressed that he feels more confident as the final season approaches.

These statements sparked significant interest among fans of the series. The communication between Schnapp and other actors with the Duffer Brothers, as well as their involvement in the creative process, enhances viewers' attachment to the show. Additionally, such candid shares provide a valuable opportunity for fans wanting to learn more about the show's background.
