Stranger Things Season 2: 13 Big Questions We Need Answering

11. What Will Justice For Barb Look Like?

When watching Stranger Things, which was just before it hit Netflix and way before it truly exploded, I remember being a bit irked about the fact that, well, no one gave a f**k about Barb. Although not a main character, her disappearance and death were completely overlooked, without anyone really caring or mentioning it. It wasn't that Barb was a truly great character, but just a baffling oversight.

Since then, the show has became huge, and Barb is its biggest character, at the very core of the series' social media, meme-fuelled popularity. And while it's surprising just how big the character is now, the basis is the same.

The Duffers have promised that we'll see Barb get justice in Season 2, but how will that take place? Is there going to be a funeral/memorial? Could she even come back?! Heck, just a few people acknowledging she existed and then died would be a start.
