[@shabbalo3191]

@@ggghhh1072 Not exactly. Billy was one of the few characters that tried the hardest to fight the mind flayer's control. Overall his character just didn't like being controlled. El frees him from the Mind Flayer with the flashbacks similar to how they freed Will in S2 and then he chooses to take on the mind flayer and gets rekt for it. He got possessed for being a fearless bastard to begin with, his character would've never ran from that monster.

[@pyxl666]

I don't think it was so much doing it for Eleven as much as it was a "fuck you for using me to do these horrible things". Eleven just helped Billy reach the surface to overpower the Mind Flayer.

[@jockturner1547]

I don’t think billy was a villain. Like yes he was quite the piece of shit but he was a product of his upbringing. I was really hoping throughout this season he wouldn’t die because his redemption arch could have been so strong! However his act of defiance against his oppressor was powerful and I like to think of it as him standing up to his father in a way.

[@AS-rr9km]

@@jockturner1547 It is so cool to see his “single tear” fall down his face in his scenes now. You know that Billy’s soul is still alive, inside of MF (Vecna/One/MF) because he “consumes” them. They don’t “die”. So Billy’s soul is trapped in the MF in the upside down. That’s why when Vecna still tries to use him as an image, his projection is always crying. It’s Billy’s soul shining through the meat puppet.

I'm probably not the only one, but I was not expecting Billy to end up saving Eleven and her friends in the end. Despite how badly he'd treated everyone prior to this and becoming an abuser like his father, there was still some good left in him and he ended up redeeming himself.

[@cmonmanyouknowthething8200]

I’ve thought about Billy’s death and I think it has a lot of symbolism towards the relationship he had with his father. His father always controlled him just like the mindflayer and when he was young he couldn’t defend his mom from his abusive father. So in a lot of ways this was his opportunity to defend somebody good like his mother. Especially because Eleven gave billy memories of his mother he might not have had anymore. Billy stood up to the mindflayer like he never could his dad before and I think it’s great. I wonder if the Duffer brothers meant to write it like that or if I’m reaching a bit ? 😀 PS: There is a scene in season 2 when Billy is fighting Steve and he says “Nobody tells me what to do!”. Which supports my theory even more, he didn’t want anyone or anything telling him what to do. Including his father OR the mindflayer. 😂

[@jypyj]

It doesn’t show, but as Billy’s dying and Max quickly runs towards him, he says he’s sorry before he eventually dies. What I think is unique about his last words, however, is the obvious and underlying apology hidden within it. His apology shows his regret over what he had done over the course of the season as well as how he treated Max and the other kids in the past. His whole character which was made familiar had changed in those final moments of his passing. Billy was introduced as a cocky, bossy, flashy, womanizing douchebag throughout season 2 and it had seemed like his character would just continue to remain that way. Then comes season 3 which showcases Billy for what he actually is: a boy who never felt any fatherly affection who also lost his mother who abandoned him. Witnessing the backstory and the inner vulnerability of Billy is what makes truly makes his character stand out from the cliche jerk in movies and shows. His sacrifice to save Eleven and share his last moments with his little sister is what makes Billy’s character arc complete. He went from being a arrogant teen from California to becoming the host and tool of the Mind Flayer, leading multiple people to also become mindless killers, to finally overcoming the monster that possessed him and become the unlikely savior of Eleven. He died knowing his final action was heroic and one he did on his own free will. RIP Billy.

[@emilykilpatrick9989]

He's like the Tony stark of stranger things

[@NoneShallDefyMe]

I really really wanted him and Max's last moments together to be more loving though. Until his sacrifice, their last interaction was him backhanding her into a wall. Like maybe once he breaks free from the Mindflayer, he looks back to her and says the "I'm sorry" then. In a comforting but reassuring way that let's her really know he wasn't a monster. His whole arc this season was cold and brutal and I just wish his last moments with her weren't.

[@peytonteague5965]

The complexities in this scene alone is insanely deep. Billy was a buff dude and very intimidating, but the only person he feared was his father, and so all that anger he has, it feels like he can only take it out on the people he thinks “weaker” than him (max, Steve, Lucas, etc…). His only form of control is when he’s the aggressor on someone else smaller than him, as being abused by his dad are his only moments when he doesn’t feel in control. So in this scene, when he decides to stare a giant monster in the face and stop it from killing El, he’s taking back his control in those last few seconds and using his strength for good instead of destruction. You see a persons true colors in their final moments, and underneath all the pain and hate, you see that he was never truly evil. Just a product of tragedy and abuse.
