Usually characters with long hair, denim jackets and metal heads wind up being bullies in the movies. Eddie was just a dork like the rest of us, but instead of being a dork who was obsessed with computers or sports or makeup, he is obsessed with a game with his friends. He wasn't perfect but he had a heart of gold . . . breaking that stigma that . . . long hair metal heads were all violent jerks and punks. He was like me and my buddies. I loved metallica, guns and roses, Dungeaons and dragons, and still managed to make my grades.

Then the bastard writers killed him off! I will never forgive them for that.

Sometimes adding a new cast members It can completely fuck up the beauty and chemistry that had already existed with the original cast. However, that hasn't happened I think Max (Sadie Sink) is a great example, I hope she doesn't die Robin, and Erica 2 more additions that rock. Murray, I friggen love him. . We already know what happened to Eddie maybe flashbacks or dream sequences but we can't undo it we have to live with it even though it sucks. I also feel so strongly they cannot make Vecna good guy. Looking back he was never a good guy because even if he was abused by "Papa" that may have drove him further into his madness and homicidal ways, however he came the lab like that. He had already murdered his family and all that other stuff so at any rate I just wanted to totally geek out over this!! I'm so happy the show makes me so happy. It's the little things. Man, my mom just passed away in May and grieving has been you know cathartic (also very sad. She was the most beautiful human, ever) there's a difference between being depressed or having anxiety and to actually grieving it seems more of a organic and a healthy process Having things like this to take my mind off of it I'm utterly grateful.

[@chickiechalupie7066]

Eddie Munson was so popular because it's very VERY rare you'll find a metal head in a mainstream show and not completely botch the shit out of it or just have the character be super depressing. Eddie brought that side that people don't always care to get to know. We're loud tenacious, charming, funny, loyal and despite what we look like or listen to, we're a really solid community of people. Eddie represented us in a way that hasn't been done in a really long time, if ever. The way the Duffer Brothers incorporated him seamlessly into the show and didn't overdo him. Even down to his outfit, Battle vest and hair. He looks just like every metal head I know. It was super surreal and fun to see and it's a shame he had to go. His last episode was every metal heads dream in high school. Getting to play some heavy fuckin metal to such a broad audience is the goal and he killed that shit 🤘🤘

[@tarap.m2376]

I couldn’t agree more!!!!! Metal heads are usually portrayed as depressed MF’s with dark aura’s, but the way they portrayed Eddie was fantastic!!!

I agree with you. In most mainstream and even more underground media, alternative people whether they be metal heads, punks, goths, etc are almost always portrayed as bad guys and not fully fleshed out characters.

[@robertdraper5782]

Joseph Quinn proving that there's no such thing as small parts just small actors, he took very little and made it memorable

[@geegeezlouis86]

I don't think that's super fair to the writers; Eddie was huge part of season 4, to the point where Joe did a lot of interviews alongside cast who have been mains since season 1 (including before the season premiered, so it's not like he was only there because he blew up). He had an actual small part on GoT and no one cared. Joe brought an amazing amount of talent and charisma to the role of Eddie, but he was also given a really fun character to work with, and got a pretty large amount of screentime given the cast is so big.

[@ghuleh969]

@@geegeezlouis86 they gave him a good base but even the duffers said they didn't had Eddie figured it out until Joe auditioned and how they didn't know how much Eddie was going to be part of the main story until they saw Joe play him. In the last 2 episodes he has like 10 mins of screentime and look at how much those minutes are talked about. As much as the writers did he took that and made it memorable and fun and interesting and more than what was in the page, his improvs were also some of the most talked about moments. Same with his voice, facial expression, tantrum, the whole scene with chrissy and his introduction scene where the duffer said every other actor that auditioned made Eddie too threatening and unlikable and Joe took it to another place.

@@Moneymannn02 yea, but like, Walter white isn't that likeable, he is in some scenes like "IM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS". A lot of well written characters aren't the most likeable. Eddie was well written even with just one season to develop his character, and he is super likeable. he 100% isn't the best character in television criticaly speaking.

[@EmmaBGames]

Absolutely stellar performance of a character, fully fleshed out and only appeared for such a short time. Joseph Quinn, thank you. The reason we all love Eddie Munson is because of his genuine kindness, openness, and compassion towards anyone and everyone. He is a truth teller and a story teller...which is very hard because it is hard to write someone genuine who tells stories without also making them a liar. Most of all Eddie is the face of a generation of freedom fighters...those who stood up against the world and died for a cause greater than themselves...for the freedom of self expression and the freedom to nerd out and enjoy playing games and being heroes to ourselves and eachother.

[@AmberKateD1995]

I love how nervous he was to do the accents lol. He’s just such a REAL guy. You see people on these talk shows all the time who have a big head or seem extremely superficial, but he’s just so down to earth.
