Why do people love this character so much? The actor was constantly chewing the scenery. I was already fricking sick of him after his introduction.
Very rarely do I ever get the feeling that someone is seriously overacting, but this dude takes the cake.
 It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
 UFOs Are A Psyop Shirt $21.68 |
It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
its the opposite, the actor was able to sell the cringe character amazingly well. think you just want to be a contrarian because he has become the most popular character now
I thought he was a douchebag the second I saw him in the cantina.
>we don't serve their kind here!
Cafeteria, anon. High schools don't serve booze.
I honestly thought he was going to be set up to be the villain the way he was bombastically introduced.
same, thought he was going to turn heel for greater power or some dumb shit
glad he got the boromir ending instead
ah yes, like how in the middle of the fighting, boromir killed himself by abandoning the fellowship and running across the river then picking a fight with the trees on the other side for no reason
He was just there, I don't know why anyone cared so much.
Its honestly just because he died. Stranger Things fans do this every season with the red shirt character who gets introduced only to die in the same season
>Sean Astin's character in season 2
>Alexei in season 3
>this dude in season 4
By the next season they're forgotten
but you can't compare Eddie's popularity atm to Alexei or Bob
Barb in season 1
Who?
NICE SPOILERS A-HOLE!
if you're browsing Cinemaphile and read any unwanted spoilers, it's your own fault, summergay
>t. unironic autist
you have to go back, adolf
he was popular before he died tho
This is utter bullshit, because he didn't die til the last episode, which came out a month after the rest of the season, during which time he was by far the most popular new character and cited as a highlight of the season.
Billy was cool and I still wish he hadn't died. Billy + Steve would've been such a based duo
sean astin is a homosexual
the billy character was a super homosexual
this character wasn't but you're right in that he'll be forgotten like the other red shirts
You sound like a homosexual and not in a gay way. You should fix that.
you clearly are a homosexual and should have a nice day.
bob was fine but billy was definitely an overacting gay
He was nerdy but with a charismatic/chad energy. Also handsome (or at least not ugly). Really likeable guy if you ask me idk.
>Really likeable guy if you ask me idk.
Yeah hes very charming
>handsome
Doja cat wants his dick, you don't get that happening unless you're handsome
lol
looks good
post face
I admire your commitment to the bit.
he cute
He's not good looking, but he's not ugly and the character is very charming and has a great aesthetic.
Women don't care about looks unless you're on the extremes of the Ugly/Beautiful scale, so great personality with okay looks can make you pretty popular
Correct poster. Lookism incels will seethe at it
Lookism is just a massive cope by asocial pricks.
Yes, homosexuals, if you look like Chris Hemsworth you don't really have to make any effort. Women will likely throw themselves at you.
But that's a tiny majority of people. If you're just good looking but has a personality of a weirdo autist you're not getting laid either
>If you're just good looking but has a personality of a weirdo autist you're not getting laid either
I know many examples to the contrary. If you're actually "good looking" in the way that women care about, you no longer have to try to get laid, you have to actively try to NOT get laid, just like women do.
yeah, but that's like 1-2% of men. you can find a lot of super weird shit that applies to 1-2% men, it's nothing to generalize on.
> If you're actually "good looking" in the way that women care about, you no longer have to try to get laid, you have to actively try to NOT get laid, just like women do.
Nope, doesn't happen.
Try that thing of the Tinder profile that is a model pic but the guys is a nazi or a pedo or something. But instead of a model, just pick a random good looking guy from getty images
You won't get the results
tinder is full of sex addicted morons
In my country it's just full of cleaning ladies
Would Delon count? Keep in mind he was 5'10.
Delon is a 6/10 in 2022. Foids would use him as a betabux and put out like 2 times a month when they're drunk
>If you're just good looking but has a personality of a weirdo autist you're not getting laid either
an actually good looking guy can literally just install tinder with 3 selfies on and get plenty of matches
Unless, as usual, by good looking you mean under 7/10
1-2% of men would be 9 and above that could spit on passerbys and have them lick it up
you are a moron
>Unless, as usual, by good looking you mean under 7/10
As usual? Have we met?
I don't know what kind of grading your using. But I'm talking about your 7/10s and 8
as usual by coping morons just bee yourself guys like you idiot
the 7+/10 and 8/10 can literally tell "wanna frick b***h?" at a random matches until one agrees
>as usual by coping morons just bee yourself guys like you idiot
Damn I can smell the virginity of this post
>the 7+/10 and 8/10 can literally tell "wanna frick b***h?" at a random matches until one agrees
Are you moronic? Yeah if you hit on 3 million women it's statistically impossible you can't get one.
We're talking a reasonable approach on attractive women, not massive amounts of approach or trying a ride on the school's bicycle
>it's statistically impossible you can't get one.
not even remotely true you moronic 14 year old
Stop thinking just because you can't get laid no one else can
How many women you've even approached in you life?
Why would I approach women? Women approach me. 🙂
>Damn I can smell the virginity of this post
nice comeback idiot, I'm 37yo and had countless b***hes
>Are you moronic? Yeah if you hit on 3 million women it's statistically impossible you can't get one.
Untrue, a autistic ugly guy hitting on 3 million women asking to "having sum fucc" will almost surely get rejected, moreover he wouldn't even have the possibility to hit on 3 million of them to begin with, if he tried off the streets, he would get arrested in mere hours
>We're talking a reasonable approach on attractive women, not massive amounts of approach or trying a ride on the school's bicycle
No we're not, we're talking about "not even hot guys can get sex without trying" stupid cope
Yes they can, a 9/10 will have women even super hot ones approaching HIM
And a 7.5 to 8/10 will have SOME women approach him or actively approach some with basically no effort and score some times
>nice comeback idiot, I'm 37yo and had countless b***hes
Clearly, it's obvious you had to resort to bestiality
>Untrue, a autistic ugly guy hitting on 3 million women asking to "having sum fucc" will almost surely get rejected,
Going to the absurd extremes agaiN I see
>And a 7.5 to 8/10 will have SOME women approach him or actively approach some with basically no effort and score some times
Maybe, doesn't mean he can get laid if he doesn't know what to do after he's approached
>Clearly, it's obvious you had to resort to bestiality
this is so lame i won't even bother
>Going to the absurd extremes agaiN I see
dumb bastard, you brought up the 3million women, I simply said a hot guy will get hundreds of matches and some will want to frick
>Maybe, doesn't mean he can get laid if he doesn't know what to do after he's approached
Yea, he can literally say hey b***h suck my dick, or act autistically until the b***h prostitute will make a move
It's simple, the hotter you are the less you need to put effort into it, the uglier you are, the more effort you need, there are thresholds at BOTH SIDES were "trying" is unnedeed or alternatively, not sufficient
>this is so lame i won't even bother
Your seething is noted.
>you brought up the 3million women
As a counter example to your absurd example
>Yea, he can literally say hey b***h suck my dick, or act autistically until the b***h prostitute will make a move
Nope, he won't be able to close it
>Going to the absurd extremes agaiN I see
there are absolutely people this moronic out there
e.g., I was at a fast food join with some friends when I was in high school. the waitress was cute. as we were paying, one of my friends suddenly asked her out of nowhere if she wanted to go on a date or if he could get her number or something, I forget specifically what he asked but essentially he hit on her. OBVIOUSLY, she said no, because they'd not even so much as made eyecontact before he suddenly asked out of nowhere. we laughed at him, and then he smugly responded "at least I tried"
but he didn't "try". he wasn't even close to trying. what he did was just a more autistic 'want sum fucc niggy?"
want sum fucc is extremely common. and you can do millions of those without getting a single yes. unless you're hitting on chicks whose brains are off because they're too drunk to even think or whatever. I've seen that as well, obviously. man, there's so much fricking """rape""" going on at clubs and bars its insane. every single one of my friends get "raped" constantly, going by the current, inane definitions of being so drunk they're "unable to consent" and ending up in bed with someone who, when they're sober, not only would they not frick but - while sober - they would explicitly tell them to not try to frick them after they do get drunk, because they don't want anything to do with them. but then they wake up next to them anyway. and they do it all over again next weekend. you can get laid doing that easily, no matter how horridly disgusting you are. like, one guy in my friends group, was a hideous, moronic filipino who got kicked out by his parents as soon as they legally could and who spent half his nights literally sleeping in the bushes outside school then showing up to school still drunk. got laid every weekend, and probably more often too.
anyway, I digress
I can guarantee that if that friend was an extremely attractive guy the waitress would have giggle and considered his proposition dumb frick
I know it's hard to believe for someone like you but some people naturally attract women, and they get women turning off the streets and are the equivalent of hot women perceived by men in regards to women
their heads*
>I can guarantee that if that friend was an extremely attractive guy the waitress would have giggle and considered his proposition dumb frick
Extremely attractive? Sure. Not if he was just handsome
depending on your definition of handsome, yea
getting hundreds of matches isn't absurd, and claiming it's impossible to close a deal unless you try is
I think you are just some tryhard average homosexual hellbent on coping, both ugly as shit guys and successful handsome guys know for a fact you're full of shit
tired of this
>getting hundreds of matches isn't absurd
When you're not fantastically good looking and starting with "want sum fuk"? Yes it is.
>I think you are just some tryhard average homosexual hellbent on coping,
The thing I already accuses you of being?
>both ugly as shit guys and successful handsome guys know for a fact you're full of shit
No they don't and if you had any friends they'd tell you that
as i said, im tired of this cope or act your putting on
yea 8 or 9/10 is "fantastically good looking" and in the sub 20% bur realistically 5% of males
i have nothing to cope about, i literally had women wanting to frick me while i tried my best to turn them down, literally asking me out, trying to kiss me while i told then i wasn't interested, etc and im not even that good looking
the notion that only a god on earth would be unable to not be an incel unless he tried is stupid, just as the notion that some ugly abomination needs to just try and be sociable to get some
won't reply anymore
able not to be incel*
>the notion that only a god on earth would be unable to not be an incel unless he tried is stupid, just as the notion that some ugly abomination needs to just try and be sociable to get some
Nobody claimed that you larping homosexual
>won't reply anymore
Thank God
I appreciate the story anon, but I known these people exist, but I'm going for a more reasonable approach here.
I don't know what you think you know, but if you think more than a few % of dudes can get pussy because of their looks only and don't have to put any effort in, you are quite misinformed. I guess your social circle and life experience is very small and you draw your conclusions from tv and use your own confirmation bias to crystallize them. Don't be afraid to let those conclusions go, they don't serve you.
literally betabux cope: the post
>than a few % of dudes can get pussy because of their looks only
approximately 20% can
this
>some trashy 5/10 negress wants your dick, you made it bro!
Doja cat is the only hot black woman in america
eat shit and die troony homosexual mod loser
he is though, especially with the wig
I'm trying to understand this phenomenon too
Are beauty standards plummeting due to "fat acceptance" and "ugly mutt acceptance" and "nerd acceptance" in media, or is it simply the case of audiences being memed into liking ugly people via the mere exposure effect?
If it were the former, it would fix hypergamy via memeing women into dating ugly or average men
>it simply the case of audiences being memed into liking ugly people via the mere exposure effect
Just look at Euphoria. Almost entire cast looks like a bunch of washed up morons. And yet they are memed into being beautiful.
so ur saying it won't translate to real life aesthetic canons?
>Really likeable guy
He was by far the most likable "red shirt" character they've had on Stranger Things yet. And they played up his situation, sympathetic to the fact everyone hates him.
I had a few friends growing up that were exactly this Eddie Munson. Good hearted metal heads with an emotional instability. They always wanted to do the right thing but had no impulse control. They loved whiskey and weed.
Those are the type of dudes that live fast and die hard.
He was the alpha nerd, they exist. Love that they didn't make him a complete butthole. Really reminds me of my best friends older brother growing up. Some guys are just awesome and they aren't buttholes.
I guess its a similar thing as with Steve, he's like a big brother figure to the other kids, Dustin especially.
Is that fricking bladee
he is a cool character. rebel and an underdog, but also a geek. talented, but not successful etc.
the alpha nerd archetype isn't done very often, it was a great inclusion.
Also I'd like to argue that the Crissy drug deal scene in the forest was extremely well done and played nicely with subverting the cheerleader/nerd archetypes. Kinda sad Crissy had so few scenes, but they were mostly brilliant.
Because he's literally me
He looks like and reminds me of someone I used to work with, but this guy was a skater Chad who wouldn’t be caught dead with the nerds. The punk scene used to be about losers and outcasts banding together, but now it’s just about fashion and popularity.
he was literally one of the only actual good actors on the show playing a likable character and they killed him off. unbelievable.
>one of the only actual good actors
I think there's plenty of good actors, but how come the kids acted better when they were younger and are now somehow worse?
Lucas was never good, but Will and Mike used to be better.
Will was never good. Lucas is fine.
Yes he was, he really convinced me he was a scared little autistic boy
Lucas is fine, I just don't think he was as good as the others. He seems to enunciate his lines for some reason
Will and Mike have always been the most irritating to watch. Dustin is saved by his dynamic with Steve. Lucas is just neutral. Mike grates on the nerves post S1 and Will has never been good after S1. Always an annoying character and I'm not sure if they're making the gay this annoying on purpose or not.
Lucas got cucked out of the cynical skeptic role by Max. All of the sharp tongued sarcastic humour would have been his were he not reduced to a stupid bland love sick puppy once the ginger monkee showed up
This
He turned into Max's little b***h the moment she became an important character
I was never a big fan of the lucas character or actor but this is 100% true and max is significantly more annoying for it, and season 3 is by far the weakest one because of it
Name your 3 worst actors of the show
Jonathan
Mike
Will and Ryder
but most of them are shit lets be real
>Winona Ryder
Really? I always thought she was one of the better ones.
Shes always been a mediocre actor, she was the weakest one in Girl, Interrupted
well knowing her history it's not fair to call her a bad actor, but she comes off almost quirky in her hysteria, I'm sure she was directed to go that way and the writing doesn't help (weird stimuli -> hysteric, almost comical behavior to address the stimuli -> some big puzzle reveal that furthers the plot and legitimizes her previous actions).
Ryder is a one trick pony who has just been playing herself in Beetlejuice for 40 years.
She was great in season 1 and 2. She's been fricking awful after that
mbb's autistic act is really wearing thin.
#1 MBB/Eleven
#2 Jonathan
#3 his "dood weed" friend
Ericka, the main jock henchman and the russian colonel
1. Jonathan
2. Winona
3. Dustin's GF, let's call her Ernetinebeth
Jonathan
Jonathan
Jonathan
Unless the idea is that his character is a dry boring cardboard cutout of a man, who emotes like he's on hardcore painkillers. Then by all means he's absolutely nailing the role.
Jonathan seems like a dude who fell into this role on accident and they didn't correct it or care to.
Jonathan has done nothing since S1, he's been a non-character after taking Nancy from Steve & getting his brother back.
The best part is even the writers know that and they are trying to hook up Nancy and Steve together again.
Will Erica Jason
>OP pretends he hates popular character because he's epik contrarian
Lame
Fujos
I immediately hated him because he's the type of person in highschool I wanted ot be, but instead of everyone thinking how cool he is I was just shunned and made fun of
So you hate yourself and are projecting it onto someone who has nothing to do with it. Why would you type this? I'd be embarrassed to admit as much
>le projection
no, I hate his character and how stupid and unlikely it is for someone like that to exist. idk why you have a hardon for a fictional character but suck his dick already homosexual
no he wasn't, if he was he wouldn't have been shown in the type of light he was
Just because the jocks didn't like him doesn't mean he was not shunned he was the school drug dealer for fricks sake
I only see cope and seethe emanating from this post
>Just because the jocks didn't like him doesn't mean he was not shunned he was the school drug dealer for fricks sake
drug dealers often get into dealing drugs because they are losers who can't get "friends" or pussy any other way
chicks will bone you 100% to get drugs for free
>drug dealers often get into dealing drugs because they are losers who can't get "friends" or pussy any other way

lol LOL
>moron can only communicate in memes and contrarianism
>this character isn't believable at all because I've experienced what it was like to be that guy in high school
>lol ur projecting
dummy
C&S
>I was only pretending to be moronic
Cope and seethe
but he was shunned, only his group of dnd nerds saw him as cool, but he owned it.
Literally everyone apart from the nerd gang he created himself thought he was a fricking weirdo
Was he supposed to be cool? Only the literal goblins that were the moronic main characters through he was cool.
And Crissy
But Crissy was too cute + based for this show thats why she got offed ep 1
she wanted to buy drugs off him
This reminded me of Nancy's nerdy friend who died ep 2 and literally nobody gave a frick, not even Nancy
she was so qt 🙁
I didn't really like him at first, but he grew on me. I think they put a little too much in his initial introduction and you just wonder why you should care about him, but then all the stuff he grows through and his interactions with the rest of the characters you can't help but like him.
He did a really poor job of demonstrating that he felt bad and that made it make less sense when he suddenly sacrificed himself.
Based on his popularity they are bringing him back next season. It’s been confirmed. They don’t want to leave his story as the “cult leader killer”
>source
>my ass
lets fricking go
>Speaking to Variety about the big revelation this season the actress commented "It was kind of a shit twist right?"...when further questioned about it Sink quipped "Mind Flayer Maniacs will rise again"
my gripe is that he hardly spends any time or development with dustin, so that scene where he tells him to never change just doesn't have that much weight. It would have if it was steve telling him that in his own steve way.
Because muh metal. That's literally all it takes for x-ers.
I honestly liked him a ton, and I thought the idea of the concert atop the van was neat, but they didn't quite get there. When they showed the Kate Bush scene I thought that he would be playing a song to keep Vecna away, but instead he was just a distraction for the sake of doing something cool. Also, Master of Puppets is too normie a song. I'm not a metal head and I know it, but for sure they coudl've gotten something a bit less known.
Now I kind of want to watch a show or movie where he just walks around the upside down with a guitar and an amp on his back just killing demons with metal riffs, like that game Brutal Legend. The visual seems neat, and if they could somehow approach it to Mad Max Fury Road-tier aesthetics, it would be the dopest shit ever.

Kino
Right? Just literally pay Jack Black for the rights for the concept of Brutal Legend and have Eddie travel the upside hunting some sort of altars for pulling his former band members into the upside down to help him in his quest, or whatever. Make it saving the girl from the early episodes.
Eddie's the paladin, the bassist is the healer, the drummer can be the defense, and travel around in some sort of chariot pulled by some cool demon beasts whilst seated so he can keep playing.
They can have cool sideways shots of him like pic related, except they are all walking/riding instead of falling from the sky, and he's throwing lightning from his sick riffs.
HMU Netflix, I'll save your stock crashing.
>he just walks around the upside down with a guitar and an amp on his back just killing demons with metal riffs
That would have been a great cliff hanger for the character. Dude just disappears into the woods and that's the last you see of him until Season 5 when he gets an arc like you mentioned.

Would be based
People like the character because he wasn't a DUDE WEED archetype junkie and dove straight into the K when he needed to solve a problem. This is probably a faucet of his 'running away' but it was still based.
I have never done ketamine, or any psychoactive drugs for that matter, in my life btw.
K makes weed look like ritalin. Wouldnt be my first choice if I had a problem to solve.
>Billy was a gay
HOT girls love him. HOT girls are shifting the culture and soon metal will be mainstream again.
Metal couldn't get shittier.
>Metal couldn't get shittier.
You and I both know it absolutely can lol
Name a good modern day metal band, that isn't a gimmick shitter like sabaton.
Jinjer
Can it be hard rock?
Also, how come Led Zeppelin is classified as Heavy Metal?
Holy shit why is her face so edited looking
They better bring him back or i won't be torrenting the next season.
