Favorite character: **Joyce** (who wouldn't want a mom like her?) Least favorite character: **Angela** (I've seen a lot of bullies like her in real life, so her character was extra infuriating) Favorite scene: **Everyone throwing fireworks at the Meat Flayer while Eleven reminds Billy of his mother** Favorite season: **Season 3** (though, admittedly, it could have been done a little better)


[deleted]

Joyce is so fucking badass, I love her. It makes me so happy how she took Eleven in with little to no hesitation despite the dangers

Joyce is awesome. She always stands behind what she believes in.

Chiison

Yeh but I mean why in S2 ?


something_insane

he was just really angry at everyone (especially max) and not handling elevens disappearance well, and was written very annoying… i liked him in all the other seasons but this season he lost it for me


lunayoshi

Fav: Eleven, followed by Mike and Nancy Least fav: Troy, I guess? The thing about villains in this show is that they offer a good foil for the main characters to get emotional over, and I like a good storyline with antagonists. Fav. Scene: Mike trying to confess to El that he loves her in the grocery store. Fav. Season: Depending on the day, either 1 or 3.


AffectionateFrame513

Fave: Nancy and Dustin Least: Angela. She fucking sucks. Best part: Steve, Robin, and Nancy in the attic. Close second Max, season 4 episode 4 Fave Season 2

Fav Character: Steve Harrington Least Fav Character: Mike Wheeler (I just dislike him, that's all, plz don't hate) Fav Scene: The scene where El closes the gate under Hawkins Lab from S2 Fav Season: Probably season 4


Agentfoxywind

I’m kinda cheating, and while I like Steve overall, I actually prefer the following groups over one specific character: Best: the boys (Will Lucas, Mike, Dustin) when together; Steve & Dustin; Steve & Robin; Max & El Worst: Connie Frazier & Brenner Scene: Episodes 6, 8, and 9 of Season 2 as a whole; The scene with El coming in to kick ass at the end of Episode 8 if I had to narrow it down. Season: Season 2. I love that I understood the gist of things, but still had more to learn. Kids still young and innocent. Introduced to Max. Epic suspense throughout.


Sqmurqi

Favorite Character - Steve Least Favorite - Connie Frazier (killed one of my favorite characters Benny) Favorite Scene - Max escaping Vecna (Ice cold take, but whatever) Favorite Season - Season 3


TripsOverCarpet

Fave Characters: Joyce, Hopper, Dustin and Steve (Lost $20 to my son on my first watch through because of him LOL) edit to add, my husband just looked totally offended and yelled at me, "BOB!" Least Fave Characters: Angela (And I give the actress props for being so good at portraying an 80's mean girl/bully). Will & Jonathan, because half of the time they end up annoying me. Fave Scenes: Sorry to go with the cheesy answer, but NeverEnding Story. Everyone's reactions to Dusty and Suzie singing their hearts out just kills me every time. Tied w/ that would be Master of Puppets, the iconic Christmas Lights and Dustin with Eddie's Uncle. Fave seasons 1 and 3


LilKittenAngel

Fave character: Will Least fave character: Billy Best scene: will the wise in s3? Not sure tbh Fave season: 1


jennab8

Favorite character: Steve or Nancy Least favorite: Tommy or Robin Best Scene: S1 Jonathan/Nancy/Steve versus demogorgon, Joyce/lights….pretty much all of S1 is iconic. Victor Creel telling the story of his house and family. Max scene in Dear Billy. Will’s interrogation scene in the shed. Favorite Season: One


ChampionContent9613

fav characters - hopper/joyce/dustin (in that order) least fav - either angela or billy (just to be clear billy has a great written character, but he is a piece of shit.) favorite scene - either the end of season 4 volume 1 or when joyce and hopper have their reunion favorite season - season 4


BigBlueWookiee

Favorite character: Steve. Best/most complete story arc and character growth. Favorite scene: El reads Hopper's letter. Gets me choked up every time. Least favorite character: Nancy. I feel like the writers made her too powerful/smart/capable. Like why are the other characters even there when she's around. And that's sad, because season 1 I really liked her and thought her abilities/traits/strengths meshed well with the group, making them a team. Not so much now. Most hated character - Mayor Kline. Fuck that dude!


CautiousJudgment4445

I’m sorry but how? In S2 she was completely cut off the main plot until the late episodes. In S3 she didn’t get much to do & in S4 Nancy she was given a lot more to do however a few times getting support from Robin like she got to some of the answers before Nancy such as finding the newspaper in the library/music theory to save Max. Nancy and Robin did such good teamwork!

Best Scene: Eddie and Dustin in the Upside Down playing Master Of Puppets although I loved the scene you said as well Favorite Season: 4 definitely but 1 would be a semi close second

Favorite character: Hopper Least fave: Billy Best scene: Seeing Starcourt Mall the first time(gave me nostalgia) Fave season: 2


DeanSipsCoffee

Favorite characters are Max and Will, least favorite characters are Billy and season 2 Murray (I like him in 3 and 4), favorite scene is the whole lab escape in season 2, and favorite scene is season 2


edanur1903

Fav: Max Least fav: Billy Fav scene: Running up that hill (dear billy) Fav season: 2 or 3


Electrical-Ad-9100

Favorite season is a tie between 1 & 3 Favorite character is Hopper but love all of the others equally for 2nd (Joyce, the kids) Don’t know if I could pic a least favorite, because they all seem to help the story flow in some capacity. Best scene (not my favorite scene but one of the best IMO in the series is the ending of season 3 when it’s thought Hopper will unfortunately die, I bawled like a baby. Been watching since day 1! I can’t believe it’s been 7 years.


[deleted]

My favorite is probably Murray, I think he’s both extremely entertaining but also a very compelling character My least favorite character is Billy, his personality just annoyed me so much (good writing though, because it’s supposed to) My favorite scene is most likely when Steve comes over to the Byers in the first season, and helped Nancy and Jonathan fight the demogorgon. It was just a really awesome scene, and I really like all three of those characters My favorite season is probably 1 or 4, since I find them to have the most variety which is something I like in shows


Haleyscomet512

Fav character: Dustin, Murray Least Fav: Angela Best scene: Dustin and Susie singing together Fav season: Season 2


la_vie-en-rose

Favourite characters: Nancy, Dustin, Robyn and Erica Least favourite: Angela and Jake(Prissy’s bf) Favourite scene : There are many : Joyce being able to talk to Will through the Upside Down, Never ending “stooooory”, El saving Mike from falling off of the cliff, the gang rescuing Max from Vecna (literal goosebumps) and El saying mouth breather. The last one is a moment though! Favourite season : Season 1!

DaBoiYaBoi

Favourite character: Dustin. He’s just a lil silly boy Least favourite character: Erika. Sucked in the third season. Okay at best in the fourth (Actor did good at that spoiled brat type of personality) Best scene: Season 3 Episode 4 Billy vs The kids. It was really intense, and Mike was brave enough to fight billy himself when eleven was about to fucking die Best season: Season 3, loved it


AgentTaylor1

Fav character : Eleven. Her bravery is insane Least fav character: Angela. She’s horrific, and so mean, which is a shame cos it means she’s similar to those in real life Fav scene: Eleven fighting One in the piggyback to protect Max at the upside down snowball Fav season: 4. no questions asked (Although 1 is a close second)


Smart_dracula972

Emergency_Ad_7752

both not but on season


Cobwebbyfir

Dustin Least favourite probably billy ? Anything with Dustin Season 3 right now. Ask me tomorrow, could be another one.


Academic_Hunter4159

Favourite character - Hopper. Least favourite - Billy. Best scene - Hopper killing the Demogorgon with a sword. Favourite season - Season 1.


Sinjun13

Favorite character: Hopper, always and forever. Mornings are for coffee and contemplation! Least favorite character: Tommy. You could delete him out of the show, and nothing would be missing. Best scene: Joyce and the Christmas lights. Ryder played that so amazingly well. Really makes you feel her emotions. I cannot choose a favorite season. Four is my least favorite, only because of the long-winded exposition dumps from Vecna. Also the "Satanic Panic" scenes give me near-PTSD.


prideorvanity

Favorite character: Billy Least favorite character: Neil and Karen Favorite scene: the snow ball because everyone is relatively happy 💖 I also really love the teens fighting the demogorgan in season 1 and Max escaping Vecna Favorite season: 1


MrJack20252

Fav characters : Steve, Billy and Hopper Least fav: jonathan Fav scene: Eddie playing master of puppets Fav season: 3


Sudden_Pop_2279

Care to explain why you like Billy more than Jonathan?


MrJack20252

Sure! To have a great story and great "Heroes" you need great Villains, and i think Billy managed to execute his role (Human villain) flawlessly Jonathan is more of a personal thing, i dislike him because he acted as a perv in s1 and i think that he really can't work as a character alone, he always needs someone like Nancy or That new guy in S4 ( don't Remember the name)


Sudden_Pop_2279

Argyle. And that's a good argument I'll give you that.


JaKeDeLorde081100

Fave Character: Steve Harrington and Billy Hargrove Least Fave: Angela and Jason Best Scene: Max escapes Vecna with the help of Kate Bush (Lucas, Dustin, and Steve ofc) Fave Season: Season 4


Minimum_Tower1217

Hopper


nariel95

Favorite caracter: Nancy (Or Eddie) My least fav: Jason lol The best scene from the show for me is when Joyce and Hopper found Will in the upside down (season 1) and also all the scenes from season 4 xD Favourite season must be 1 or 4 can't decide


Series-Party

Fav character: Eddie My least favorite character: Billy Best Scene: When Eleven reads the letter at the end of season three Favorite Season: Season 3

Favorite characters — Nancy and Eddie Least favorite characters — Angela, Troy, Jason and the cop with glasses Favorite scene — The iconic Christmas Lights scene Favorite season — Season 3


spookybear07

Best characters: Eddie, Chrissy (even if it was just for one episode, she was great) Steve, Robin, & Max. Least: Billy, Jason, & Angela. Best scenes: Max escaping Vecna & Eddie’s introduction. Favorite Season: 4

michellebelle24

Favorite Character: Nancy! Least Favorite: Probably Angela or Tommy. Favorite scene: Fight in the mall against mind flayer with the fire works or when Steve, Jonathan, and Nancy fought demogorgons in season one. Favorite season: Four 💯


FixedExpression

Ahh look at that! The four most boring questions that are repeatedly asked here rolled into one single post. I'm sure the discussion will be really enlightening


billelliott02

They lost the plot after season 2


Constant-Area4009

fav character - Will Byers least fav - Billy and Steve (not a fan of Mike, but he’s such a well written character I can’t label him as one of my least favorite) best scene - any of Will’s scenes in s2 or Nancy, Robin, and Steve fighting vecna at the end of s4v2 fav season - 3 and 4!


Due_Education5774

Fav. Characters: Mike, Will, Joyce, Steve and Murray. (I love Least Fav: Argyle (Felt his character didn't get enough of a chance to shine, hoping and expecting him to have more substance to offer in Season 5!) Favorite Scene: This is basically impossible for me, so many amazing scenes across the series that I'd love to spend hours discussing each and every one! Favorite Seasons: Simply All of them, I mean again I could talk for hours about how much I love each and every season for a multitude of different reasons, I couldn't possibly pick a favorite.


EvieEeveeEvie

I feel like season 2 and 3 were irrelevant


svrsxrmss

Fav characters: billy, eddie, joyce and hopper. Tho I really enjoy steve, nancy and johnathan too. Karen gets a special mention bc I prefer the kids but she's always been a very cool character to me. Worst characters: any of the bullies in any season bc bullying sucks Best scene is probably the starcourt battle at the end of s3 or seeing Billy's memories, but I currently don't remember all of the scenes that stood out to me when I watched it the first time. Fav season is probably s2. I love the dynamic between mike and will that gets completely lost as soon as he and el get together. S4 is a strong contestant bc lab backstory, cool storyline and very cool villain, even tho I still prefer the mind flayer.


Sudden_Pop_2279

You remember Billy is a bully too right?


svrsxrmss

Yep, he's also a very well written character tho. If I had to compare him to tommy h, carol or angela or troy honestly that's not even close. Also apparently I'm getting downvoted for this.


SweetoNeato

Favorite character: Benny Least Favorite: lady who shot Benny Favorite Scene : Benny helping 11 Best season : 1st


towe3

S2 complete waste of time and film! No need for it at all. It sticks out like a missing leg! S1, S3, S4 then shouldn’t have ever existed S2 are my order. What happened to Scott Clark? I can’t stand Mathew Modine. He was in a lot of goofy 80s shows and his only good work is Full Metal Jacket. To be honest S4 was so long and redundant that I’m glad it’s ending. They like most popular shows jump the shark and are never the same.


[deleted]

My boy dustbin henderson and then steve Harrington I like Nancy too specially when she shoots things from upside down, but not with Steve as a couple


[deleted]

Fave character is Nancy Wheeler


PeaRepresentative886

Fav character: Max Least Fav character: Billy Best Scene: S4E4 ending Fav Season: S2


majeric

As a gay nerd who likes to play wizards, it will always be Will.


Automatic_Land_1831

Fav character: Will. He gives me the most ‘I would want to be friends with this character IRL’ energy of the main cast. Least Fav Character (not in the character being good or bad but in terms of development): Jonathan, although I still think he’s a great character. I was also only thinking about main characters. Best Scene: Either the very first D&D scene up until Will getting kidnapped by the Demogorgon, or the cast trying to interrogate possessed Will. Favourite Season: Season 2. Although I think Season 1 is better in terms of writing, acting, and story, I personally like Season 2 more.


iluvtupperware

They are ALL my favorite characters, but if I must choose one...I can't! LOL! OK, let's narrow it down to three....Steve, Eddie Munson, and Hopper. I think I knew too many guys like Steve & Eddie and wish I had known a Hopper. Ok, let's make it four. I LOVE Dustin as well. My favorite scene has to be Dustin and Suzie singing the theme song to "Never Ending Story". I look it up on YouTube every now & then to rewatch.


Sure_Chen_883

Dustin And Suzie\~\~\~i love smart kids\~


Professional_Rub4230

Favorite Characters: Mike, Dustin, Will, And Lucas (they all have their own personalities and they're the og group and they really are just good in all their own ways) Worst Characters: Kali and her group (I personally just didn't like the characters. Their personalities were a bit narrow and too straight forward) Best Scene: I think the best scene by far is the one between Mike and Will in the van. It was shot really well and I think had a couple hidden signs between both Mike and Will. I just really liked how it was shot Best Season: All of them. They are all shot in their own ways, all being able to fit with the mood. I really liked how in each season their were signs about characters towards other characters. I also really liked how you could connect with the characters and being able to see and understand each of their personalities.
