Noah Schnapp is quite a public and influential figure. Having been an important part of Stranger Things, one of the biggest series to this date, he is one of the most recognized people of this age. With this, it is natural to assume that someone of this high stature has some responsibility for the things that they say and preach.
This is why the actor has come under a lot of heat after his recent comments and alliances with Israel. This has infuriated fans to such a great degree that many are wishing for his character to not return in the upcoming season of the hit series. Some of them even claimed that they hoped that his character is killed off via an inconsequential or ridiculous death.
Noah Schnapp Has Become A Controversial Figure
Noah Schnapp has become quite a figure of controversy after his recent comments on the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict. After the actor spoke in great detail about his support for Israel on Instagram, he was spotted sitting with a group of people who were sharing stickers with ‘Zionism is sexy’ written on them. These comments have prompted many to heavily criticize the actor, calling these comments, disgusting and showcasing a lack of knowledge.
“As a Jewish American, I am afraid. Afraid for my brothers and sisters in Israel, who have been senselessly attacked by Hamas. I am truly heartbroken to see the brutal murders of innocent children, women and soldiers fighting to defend themselves. I, like others, want peace for both Palestinians and Israelis. Let’s stop the rhetoric and choosing sides. Instead, we must recognize that we are all on the side of the fight against terrorism. Choose humanity over violence,”

Needless to say, when actors make such strong comments on controversial topics, it’s bound to affect their professional lives. This is clear to see with respect to Schnapp, with many claiming that they want to boycott the actor altogether.
Fans Want Noah Schnapp’s Character To Get Killed Off
After it was recently announced that the final season of Stranger Things would begin filming early next year, fans were quick to flood the comments of this announcement with something completely unrelated.

No one would even question it, considering how his character hasn’t had a purpose since season 2.

Others were quick to voice their support, with some even coming up with hypothetical situations that could lead to Byers’ death. Some attacked his character as well, stating that he hadn’t been of much relevance in the newer seasons so his absence would not be felt. One fan even suggested that this death be done off-camera. Hence, it is safe to say that fans are not happy with Schnapp and it would be very difficult for him to come back from this.
