In a thread on the r/StrangerThings subreddit, some fans weighed in with their thoughts on the flirtatious sandwich assembly scene between Vickie and Robin. Many felt their awkward and slightly manic mannerisms were too similar to make them compatible as a couple, and some viewers even called their dynamic out as lazy writing and a disservice to Robin. u/Critical-Mouse-766 wrote, "They would be too boring together. I hate the writers didn't even bother to give Robin a proper love interest, and instead just gave her a copy of herself that had 2 minutes of screentime."
u/246ArianaGrande135 acknowledged that the two seemed very much alike, but expressed hope that the writers could make their pairing work in the upcoming season. "For now," they wrote, "I do think they're too similar, but hopefully in season 5 Vicki will be more developed and have other traits that differentiate her from Robin."
Potential relationship aside, Maya Hawke has expressed a far different wish for "Stranger Things" Season 5, saying she hopes Robin is killed off. "I would love to die and get my hero's moment," she told Rolling Stone. "I'd love to die with honor, as any actor would."
