Didn't run away | Stranger Things

"I'm gonna die someday. But not today."
Happy Summer holidays people. Hopefully everyone can have some time to relax a bit.
So here we go with yet another Stranger Things video. It has become a tradition for me to upload videos about this show since It first aired. This season was very ambitious and I want to congratulate the whole team for the amount of work given.
I was very moved by Eddie's character & his death. I wish It would've been better handled If I'm honest and I believe there was so much more do with his character. Max's death was, on the other hand really emotionnal and I believe that even If she might come back her arc was perfectly closed. Hopper remains one of the best character. My only regret is that many characters didn't had any developments such as Steve Harrington.
Enjoy the video!

[@fenrys4694]

@@delanie1275 I mean that's kinda a stupid argument for why it hit harder. Max also made the CHOICE to be the bait, to stop listening to music and let him in. No way he wouldn't of eventually just given up and gone after someone else no matter how much he wanted to hurt El by killing one of her friends ultimately it wouldn't of been worth it if they had completely stopped him. Though at the end of the day its just personal preference i suppose, I think both deaths hit really hard, however Max's hit harder me. Just because of how they were when they died, Eddie died knowing he did good and knowing for once he didn't run away when things got tough. But Max on the other hand died in terror realizing despite the shame and guilt she felt over billy she wanted to live on top of Lucas's just complete heartbreak and despair at watching her die and not being about to do anything about it just made it hurt and a little more then Eddies.

[@Pickle_Juic3]

I swear Eddie saying “I didn’t run away right” hits so hard it’s was his year definitely he protected a town that absolutely hated him that’s a true hero right there

[@Rebel-hl7oi]

[@AnoNymous-gn6tl]

Eddie's arc resonates so much with so many of us... We're willing to do everything we can for some people, maybe even when we are hated. Trying to be good when you're just a freak or a weirdo... This is why we play.

[@joepagram8287]

Season 4 was almost perfect in my eyes.Charachterization was done superbly and the plot with Vecna was incredibly intriguing. The only gripes I have is the bullies lead by Jason were underwritten and perhaps an afterthought to a plot that already had a lot going on.

[@delanie1275]

and also the fact they added a time skip completly skipping over where murray and enzo are and passing over everyone mourning eddies death

Genuinely one of the best videos You've ever made. The flow of the editing is impeccable and the vibe of the show is perfectly captured. Every sound effect from the clock ticking at the beginning, to the wooshes and to the reverb, they're all perfectly incorporated. Love the inclusion of subtitles too. The hype I felt when the Eddie guitar scene came up is just surreal, and it keeps that energy until the end of the song, genuinely incredible. 2nd part also completely destroys me emotionally, especially 4:46. Whole part conveys it's themes perfectly. Absolutely beautiful tribute to the show, no words are enough to describe how much I love this.

[@shomonsourav]

From running up that hill to I didn't run away this time, this show really had some great character development, Right?

[@MurphNTurph]

"I think it's finally my year" You're goddamn right it was, Eddie. In a single season, you reached the hearts of millions, and became and instant hero to them all. Growing up, I was also the outcast, who never got a break, and was always misunderstood. I was bullied, accused of things I didn't do, and constantly running from fights. It sucked, cause anybody who got to know me, knew I had nothing but compassion and love to give. Seeing Eddie, I never related more with a fictional character in my life. He used humor to make everyone around him smile, was willing to help people in need, and, in the end, found his moment to finally be a hero. You will be missed Eddie, the greatest hero I have ever seen.

[@TheGLA]

Amazing season. I was really rooting for Eddie, but he went out like a hero.

[@Twrite609]

Caleb and Sadie acting in Max death scene made it hard to not cry waterfalls they were amazing. The Duffer brothers know how to make you care about a character or couple so their death is so impactful and painful. I never cared about Lumax until this season making the moment Lucas holding her in his arms while she dies hurt so much more and wow did I believe Lucas was lost the love of his life in the tears and crying to the cracks in his voice.

[@DuendeTortuga]

Great video! Eddie's death and Dustin's reaction broke me, you can tell the level of writing when a brand new character leaves a mark that fast, that seeing him dying gets so many emotional responses, great acting from those two, and also from Sadie/Max, though I think El restarting her heart, kinda took away from the moment where she stopped moving at all, I guess it's not without a purpose and they will end her story for good next season, anyway, this was another great season, definitely.
