I’m so glad they kept Steve. His character development is awesome to see, and it shows how people can truly turn over a new leaf :)

[@thaliabowen2006]

I’m glad it wasn’t Johnathan dad

[@gloopintoph6402]

Steve was never really a bad guy tho he just hung out with the wrong people

[@paweeze3328]

@@gloopintoph6402 bro what do you mean he was the leader of that group 💀💀 they followed him and once he changed they switched on him and went to Billy

[@mrpenguin0001]

Agreed

[@eleutheromania6191]

The fact that they said he was “supposed to die earlier” rather than just supposed to die is making me wanna cry

[@XxMariaOxX]

Right. I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that.

[@yoshifan33]

I think they were implying that Steve would've died before the scene where he fights the Demogorgon (hence why Lonnie would've been there instead).

[@XxMariaOxX]

@@yoshifan33 makes sense. We’re probably just thinking too much into it lol.

[@moonchiId.]

dude im scared about steve too but... I dont think the CREATORS of stranger things would give us this big spoiler just for fun

[@grclink]

He meant earlier than the season 1 finale that he originally mentioned

[@sebastienmelancon8499]

I'm verry worry about Steve now... The fact that they tought about his death is kinda interssting, but still worrying... 😓

[@mercy6549]

right omgg

[@lilymae7516]

I dunno... they wouldn't have kept him tho if they really wanted to do it..

[@lilymae7516]

I think Will may die tbh

[@vagabondfilms1623]

They thought about his death because Steve was written has a grade A son of a bitch. Like worse than the simple douchebag he was in season 1. He was even written to rape Nancy in one of the early drafts. But Joe Kerry had such a level of enthusiasm in his performance that they rewrote his arc into the lovable big brother we know him as today

[@liynne]

@@lilymae7516 levy said the day steve dies he leaves the show.

[@thayyibrumy9d913]

Steve is the goat of babysitting and protector, he will be in the history books with that title. He cannot die, he literally kept Dustin under his wing since S2, and protected all the other kids also

[@anish87]

This is the reason why I think he will die before S4 ends. Those kids losing their protector is going to hit them hard and will drive the story in S5.

[@rugr82day]

I can't imagine the last 3 seasons without Steve to help babysit the younger crew. Constantly putting himself in danger to help save those kids.

[@AprilAgustD]

After every season we love Steve more and more. So Stranger things without Steve, that is not acceptable.

[@beeztrees7732]

I’m glad he didn’t die, that would have made such an impact in the storyline!

[@ninacechova4998]

So he dont die?

[@plaggscamembert7465]

I can't imagine stranger things without Steve Harrington.....if anything the guy deserves an independent spin-off for his major and amazing character development. ❣️✨

[@aromalsb3121]

Hell yeah 😍🤩

[@karensmith5404]

The show won’t be the same without him

[@ComedyBros5]

Wouldn’t be much of a show without him. It’d lose a lot of charisma

[@kissmiss1936]

​@@ComedyBros5 True . Joe Keery is literally the most beautiful face on Stranger things series. Everyone else are just average par good. Joe literally looks like a movie star.

[@love-ip7sz]

@@kissmiss1936 I agree but I think Noah is really a pretty boy if he cut his hair idk I think Noah is gonna grow into his looks more this next few years. He has big expressive eyes.

[@eliasrp2986]

@@love-ip7sz it's not the physique, it's the charisma, joe and steve give him a touch that no other can

[@kylebyrne7961]

I love joe keery he’s such a great actor

[@moonchiId.]

I cant imagine stranger things without steve and his chaotic babysitter side if he dies in s4 i think s5 will be just weird for me idk

[@spirittammyk]

Right. Steve's clips with Dustin are the most popular ones on youtube.

[@aaliyan2]

this is so out of context but I’m so exited for the eddie playing guittar in the upside down scene

[@Hamzz25]

Steve is my favourite character hands down🤩

[@joeybrideau4124]

He definitely turned into my favorite charachter on the show, hard to imagine the show without him

[@aftab-4408]

It was your best idea duffer brothers to modify the S1 climax script of King Steve. I rewatched S1 and observed Steve's Joe Keery s name was not even in the intro list of actors. But now it's there and people watch ST more bcz of King Steve

[@divine7401]

I can assure that atleast a million ppl are watching ST because of Steve 🔥😁

[@jackburkhardt2528]

Can we get an Argyle saves the day scene? We need to see this man with a katana just going ham.

[@moonchiId.]

I'm so glad steve dont died I HOPE HES STILL ALIVE UNTIL THE SHOW ENDS OK....

[@spidey3576]

Please keep Steve alive

[@aditipillai8968]

The way Steve kinda twirls his bat omg

[@wavieeee4033]

Thankyou for showing us this sending prayers to you and your family and everyone God bless you and your family and everyone.

[@nurax44]

So glad he’s still here. Steve is like one of my favourite characters, especially together with Dustin

[@2eganja1]

Not only I like Steve character development, his fighting improved 🤣. He was getting beat left and right all 3 season. He's one of my favorite character to go with Dustin. They crack me up! Lmao,

[@NinthShinigami]

I love Steve as much as the next person and as sad as I and everyone else would be, imagine the impact his death will have on everyone, especially the kids. They’ll be motivated to just obliterate the threat of the Upside Down once and for all, and could lead to an epic conclusion in the fifth and final season. Could raise the stakes to a much higher level as well.

[@salaheldinshadi4938]

I know every one of was scared when the bats started chewing on him in the end of Ep 6

[@Erad1991]

The villains' and even the duffer brothers are after Steve! We must protect the babysitter at all cost!

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

I'm glad Steve survived and is now the mother of several children along with his lesbian bestie

[@zaytavion]

who woulda thought

[@mindbodyps]

I believe Steve gonna survive in season 4 definitely, Eddie will save Nancy by playing guitar in upside-down and in season 5 definitely Steve 😵

[@knharsha7]

Can you imagine ST 2 and 3 without Steve??

[@luxx4]

i cannot imagine lonnie being in that sceneee

[@cedricletho2971]

"He was supposed to die earlier" Me : Hold up...😳😳

[@samueldurham9476]

Well, I‘m really interested in the idea of ​​Lonnie fighting the Demogorgon with Nancy and Jonathan instead of Steve rn. If that would have happen, Lonnie would then perhaps play a bigger role in the following season of ST…

[@steveharrington2959]

I hope I don't die. More kids to babysit 🥺

[@traydaniel0403]

It’s gonna be just like Scream when Dewey Riley (played by David Arquette) was originally supposed to die in the first Scream 1996

[@livewithlibby1427]

I’m so glad they kept him

[@ayushi3361]

confident and charming personalityyy.... become effortlessly popular 🙂💗💗💗💗

[@themvtrooper]

I like the creativity

[@rhaeljus]

Omg it's Charlie!!! The dungeons nad dragons queen herself!!!

[@NIGHTMARE-ds2iv]

If he dies I'm not watching season 5

[@warnerswhore]

Steve's the best character

[@nicolearagon8065]

I'm so glad they kept Steve. I thought he's gonna die💀

[@namggi]

Subtítulos en español por favor!!???🙏🙏🙏

[@ABC.17]

Keeping steve in the show also gave us a love triangle.

[@Seanhaggs]

We all know they are killing Steve at the end of the final season..

[@sidharthkrishna9344]

0:34 He said pretty sure he would have died earlier.... does that mean steve is dead

[@aluminumroblox5442]

OMG PHEW

[@brainwave.spacestation]

normally the most pupular guy in high school cliche in any movie will die in a flash but damn.. this was a big twist for sure.. and i'm freaking loved it

[@sanidhyajainn6476]

steve is the pearl in the diamond that was Stranger things.

[@abhishekpawal0509]

please dont do this dont let steve die dustin will also die then whole stanger things will be alone please dont!😢😢😢😢😢 steve and dustin are life💙

[@Karanistheir._]

Chup ho jaa..kuch nhi hoga..

[@vinzcetron5384]

This is like.. Lowkey telling us that steve is gonna die in S4 vol. 2 :(

[@Ashley_Mariee]

this better not be foreshadowing

[@genn7766]

Imma cry if Steve does

[@HunkSupreme]

Stranger Things ain’t shit without Steve ❤️

[@paweeze3328]

I really thought it was curtains for Steve when those demobats were eatin him up 😵😵😵

[@zzztam]

q raro sería todo ahora con el papá de jonathan metido ahí

[@itschrisboi6539]

Is season 5 gonna be the last season?

[@menmakazama1747]

I hope not

[@nerdrage9739]

If Steve dies mid-season S5, he comes back as a vampire courtesy of demobat bites. If he dies in the final episode it's real.

[@TT-vy6mj]

Die earlier?!?! He's still on the list??!? 😭😭😭

[@strangerthingsmulti]

HELP WHY WOULD YOU POST THAT WHILE LIVESTREAMING I CAN'T WATCH BOTH AT THE SAME TIME😭

[@sadhikabose3023]

As long as eddie or argyle doesn't die 😌

[@menmakazama1747]

Too late Eddie is already dead

[@hopefullyhope3586]

"Pretty sure he was going to die earlier".....so they basically confirmed Steve will die at some point.....rip

[@andromedaone3640]

The one actor in this looks like a young John Delance from Star Trek, he would be good as a young Q, the boy with the big hair doo who is friends with Ethan Hawking Daughters character.

[@user-hl7sd6yq3w]

Joe Keery is a bit long in the tooth to be playing Steve, but the character of Steve is so entertaining to watch that I’m so glad they kept him instead of killing him off. It just wouldn’t be the same without his humor in S2 and S3.

[@strxberrycake]

[@wqndrland]

guys we should get a spin off show with just steve and all the kids drop name ideas in the replies

[@lexilex9317]

definitely someone is going to by the end of this season :(

why would they post man making me scared

But do you catch around 0:32... "he was going to die EARLIER..." Wait, he hasn't died yet?

What’s up with Steve getting beat up at the end of every season?🤨

My prediction is that Steve will die in part 2 or season 5 and him and Dustin will share an emotional moment where they acknowledge that they're like brothers. That would emotionally hit audiences like nothing else could.

I am a zookeeper in chicago and I regularly feed the hippos day old sausages so they have a taste of their home. I put strings on the sausages and swing them around the hippos they get so mad at me and scream but it's an obsession sometimes the hippos try and break out of their cages but I keep swinging those hotdogs in wide circles over their heads. Luckily my boss doesn't know I do this or my cowork
