I think “Heroes” was played at the end because it was supposed to be a clue that Hopper was still alive. They played it in season one when everyone found out Will was “dead”
Alexei's death was so telegraphed, I can't believe anyone was shocked by it. And I really didn't care about the character, because the writers tried too hard to make him "quirky and lovable" in the hopes of getting an emotional reaction by killing him. It was too much of a cheap trope for my taste.
@@amityislandchum your taste? You don't have any, dude. If you can't get emotional invested in a character that was meant to be loveable, then you simply don't ingest media properly. If you're THIS cynical, you'll never like anything. You'll only look for faults. It must be a lonely and miserable life you live
I honestly thought Dacre Montgomery did an absolutely fantastic job in this season and I actually did cry at his death, not really because seeing a horrible person die was sad, but because the flashbacks remind you that he was once an innocent boy who had all his potential stripped away from him
I'm from an abusive household and Billy's upbringing really made me connect with the character. It shows you that Billy wasn't a monster, he was just a human coping with his trauma in all the wrong ways. Perhaps Billy could've met someone one day who would've shown him how to healthily overcome his trauma but sadly that potential future died with him. He died protecting Eleven, it just shows that he was a good person who got corrupted by a bad life. 😥
"My heart bleeds for him as a child, someone took a kid and manufactured a monster, at the same time as an adult he's irredeemable" - Will Graham (Manhunter) while i don't think Billy is fully irredeemable i think this quote mostly fits well with how i see his character.
Amazing, welcome back James 🙌 the channel was in good hands while you weren’t hosting, but it makes me super happy to see you back hosting the Kill Count :)

Fun fact, when el collapsed after throwing billy through the wall, it’s because it’s so hot on set bc the sauna, you can even see mike look offscreen at the directors
Let me get this straight, James come back from a half year break doing kill counts and his first video since coming back is a kill count of the whole of season 3...? This guy is a legend!
Zoran and Chelsea were terrific, but it’s great to have you back, James! Hope your break was great, and looking forward to the future! Also god help us, he has bar graphs now.
28:38 Fun fact: Eleven/Millie did not collapse because of throwing billy across the wall but, in the set it was very VERY hot. Millie had actually collapsed because of exhaustion. You can actually see fin looking of set for help.
This is why this channel is leagues above and legitimately professional in every way, James took a more than earned break and somehow still gave us great content w two amazing hosts, shout-out Zoran and Chelsea, kept the community constantly updated, and then hit us with a freaking HOUR long Killcount. Praise be to Deadmeat, amazing!
I’m glad we all missed James, but can we applaud Zoran & Chelsea for keeping the KillCount alive. Yeah deadmeat has more content like the PodCasts & Special Guest interviews, but Zoran & Chelsea did a great job hosting the KillCounts! Huge applause to Zoran especially for carrying us through tremors! Gonna miss ya buddy!
I cannot tell you how excited I got hearing James say “Welcome to the Kill Count” again. And it’s a 1 hour video on Stranger Things? James really knows how to spoil us😁
The Numbers bit was so cool here!! You showed the victims like usual, then we see a bar graph of comparing how many victims were in each season (I bet you’d use it again when counting sequels for films), next we got a chart that shows how many people each character killed, then we get the usual kill on average. Such a huge upgrade!! It’s so cool watching this incredible series grow!
Mrs. Driscoll stole my heart instantly and completely and I was actually devastated when she died, even though I knew it had to be coming since she was so damn likeable.
@Garfieldpog24k he was taking a break for one, he also got married, and moved which is why he has a new studio. Also him and Chelsea are working on a film as well.
The way the episodes are set up is one of the reasons I love Stranger Things so much. In every season there is one or a group of characters that go around Hawkins each discovering something different about the main enemy of that season and at the last few episodes they all come together in the same place, like starcourt, and fight whatever it is they discovered.
Except in this season, they give us (the audience) the answers to the entire mystery within the first 2 episodes, and then we have to spend another 6 hours watching the characters slowly figuring out everything we already know. It was so poorly written. Even the characters themselves were suddenly written as very different and unlikable.
@@amityislandchum yeah i kinda agree with this season it could've been written better. i think it was set up to be a great season but it wasn't executed very well.
For me, Billy felt like he had a good blueprint for a strong character arc and possible change of heart. I felt bad that he came so close to redemption, but it still fell short compared to all of his horrendous actions the past two seasons. I cried for Billy, and wished he could have had the chance to learn and grow
I was personally really happy to see you compliment the CGI in this! Animation is so difficult and the animators deserve so much credit for their work, the CGI really looks fantastic in this show
RodeoFX (the studio that made the fx) came to my college to talk about their work on stranger things s03. Unfortunately I can't share what was said during the conference due to NDA but s03 was the most challenging season they worked on apparently. I've seen how the rats and flesh mass/ monsters effect was done. Impressive!
Dude idk how you don’t feel anything at Billy’s death… it gives me chills everytime and it’s so sad… his father made him a bad person by the abuse he went through and he ultimately saw through it and sacrificed himself
Came here to comment pretty much the same thing lol. It's a sad death, he definitely sacrificed himself for the kids. Also when he's locked in the sauna and he's pleading with Max saying "he made me do horrible things", I'm fairly sure it's really him up until Will gets goosebumps at which point the Mindflayer takes over and makes Billy grab the shattered tile.
@@alexg1778 I agree, Billy was an asshole (because of his abusive father admittedly) but he wasn't a murderer. I'm sure he felt real remorse for bringing innocent people to the mindflayer to be killed.
It didn’t excuse his bullying and light racism at ALL! It’s like we’re being gaslighted, bribed, or blackmailed into appreciating Billy, and I don’t like it at all.
I've gotta say, season 3 isn't the best Stranger Things season, but Mind-Flayed Billy was easily the best villain so far. The actor really sold the performance to make it absolutely terrifying
Dacre did amazingly! Vecna could never. I found the fact that Mind-flayed Billy could pass as human, as well as it not being 100% clear how much was the mind flayer and how much was Billy at times, as James mentioned, made him all the more terrifying.
I’m sorry but season 4 was hella disappointing….the whole small town thing was COMPLETEY gone and although there was a memorable villain and moments, there was a bunch more cringy and dumb moments and bad acting that really made some parts a chore to watch
I actually squealed in excitement when I saw you were back doing the Kill Count. Your videos started my love of horror movies and I am so thankful for it! You inspired me to subscribe to Shudder and I have been watching things on there while you have been away. Congrats on your wedding and I hope you had a good 6ish months, but I have to say I'm SO HAPPY you are back!!
18:29 The screams of primal terror Mike and Dustin let out after this moment goes to show what talented actors these kids are, able to capture the horror of the scene so masterfully.
Billy really reminded me of William dafoe’s green goblin especially when he was crying and grabbing the piece of tile on the ground. Reminded me a lot of goblin getting his glider out while talking to Peter
He was a good person corrupted by a bad parent/life. Many people can relate to this. The generational cycle of abuse is an extremely difficult one to break.
Love the updated “To The Numbers”, Zoran and Chelsea KILLED it, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m glad you’re back. Well deserved break and can’t wait to see where the channel goes 😁
Fun fact: When Mille Bobby brown (Eleven) was fighting Billly. She collapsed from actually being exhausted. If you replay Finn wolfhard (Mike) helping Eleven you can see him look at the producers.
i'm pretty sure he is talking about when El and Billy was "in" Hopper's house? when like Billy was telling El that she and everyone will die and be part of the army? Here's the timestamp of when that happens: 39:49@@thefluffyaj4119
Also, after season 4 with Vecna, and after the knowledge that he was in fact controlling every single creature in the upside-down, meaning he controlled Billy as well. You can very clearly see Billy's acting and 001's acting is very similar, even the same! I find it such a cool little detail
I recently just got into Stranger Things and man where have I been all these years? Fantastic show especially for horror and science fiction fanatics! Finished all four seasons in time for the final season next year but I may do a marathon leading up to it next year
The graphics for the numbers were so clean, I didn't expect that segment to get a new polish as well. I love the addition of the chart of who/what killed who.
I know series are difficult, but i sincerely hope that this, being James' first count after the break, was not so daunting that it in anyway way turned him off the idea. Weird as it may be to say, Kill Counts are a major highlight of my weeks, and i want them to outlast me. Love you, James, Chelsea, Zoran, Graessle (other James), and everyone else who makes this happen. You ALL rock.
Robin’s coming out scene is one of the best I’ve ever seen. It was handled and acted so well by Joe and Maya. And I love the Dustin Suzie scene because it reminded me that, at the end of the day, these are just kids having to deal with this.
“It stuns the Byer’s babe and the Big Hopper. But it amuses Alexie and brings him and Murray closer together. Do I sense some detenté?” Is also an incredible joke that deserves some attention.
Alexei's death made me sad... he was a great character and knowing what it is like to live in a terrible country like Russia first hand his childish delight at simple things hits hard because I know many people whose lives have been ruined by an evil regime that was supported by the evil from Russia.
Well, Russia isn't really a terrible country nowadays, expect Putin, but back when it was the Soviet Union or USSR it was pretty terrible, Gulag also existed those times in the USSR and might still exist.
"Terrible country like Russia"... Way to buy into the political propaganda portion of this show. The fact that freaking Americans have the audacity to establish that is just unbelievable. There is WAY more humanity in Russia than the country this show belongs to.
the 1st time I saw this season I was like "Oh all the people who were possessed will be set free when they beat the Mind Flayer right?" and then 40:19 happened. Not no Power Rangers ending where the mind controlled snap out at the last minute. Just countless innocent, men, women and children all turned into meat mush. Dark AF & wanna see Mind Flayer get his ass beat for good
Glad to see James back hosting the show! (Yes I’m late to watching this but I was planning to rewatch Season 1-3 of Stranger Things before rewatching Season 1&2’s kill count then watch this one for the first time but that plan fell apart, still haven’t finished the rewatch on Season 2 lol)
I was one of the artists who composited the opening scene, thanks for including the company shoutout and including the breakdowns! i did 4:45 - 4:50 ish and 4:38 and they're still some of my favourite shots I've worked on to this day :D
God, it took me so long to figure out why James says "Joyce takes Murray and the Alexeis to head back to town" at 35:48 It's because David Harbour's character in Black Widow, the Red Guardian, is named "Alexei Shostakov" Gotta love James and his Kill Count scripts. So many Easter Eggs
Yea it took me forever to figure that out too! And then when I rewatched Black Widow (yea I didn’t expect to rewatch that mid-ness either) and went in my head “OH YEAH!”
Billy deserves some respect. He was fighting the mindflyer so much. Karen could have been his fist victim but he told her to stay away. When you see him offer heather and family to the flyer you can see a tear in his eye. When he tricked el he was crying while the flyer was talking. In the sauna he was begging for help and apologized so much before it took control. In his final moments he took control and saves el el
Agreed. Billy may have been awful through most of his time, but he sacrificed himself for El. Seeing that he was once a normal kid who was abused horribly and lost his mom is tragic because you see what he could've been. El tapping into that humanity and him in the end saving her is beautiful and made me cry. No, it doesn't excuse his behavior to Max or anyone else, but it's understandable. His death is one of the most emotional.
@@leomashak6894 the actor said he sees how people could see that but Billy actually was showing so type of compassion. We know Billy's mom was hit and abused. Billy saw that lucus and max was arguing and max was upset. Even though Billy hates max and is a bully it triggered him seeing someone arguing like that. Billy is very complex but not a racist.
Zoran and Chelsea did such a great job that I hadn’t realized that James 6 months off was over 😭 speaks to how GREAT those two did with the tremors series, American psycho series & slither !
The ONLY small critique I would have with the new set is that the white background on the numbers greenscreen is wayyyy bright (especially around the top left). I absolutely love all the different graphs and charts tho, keep those up for sure! The set is IMMACULATE, btw!
Two fun facts: #1 during the sauna test, Dacre Montgomery actually bashed his head against the glass almost breaking it, which was taken out and replaced with him hitting it with the shard #2 The sauna test scene was so hard on Millie Bobby Brown that she collapsed in Finn Wolfhard’s arms, and him looking over to the side was him looking to the director for directions on what to do
The look on Hopper’s face when he realizes that the fate of the whole world is hinging on a prepubescent girl and a two kid rendition of Never Ending Story! Oh my god! 😂😂😂
@@CasualCat64 In the Stranger Things Season 1 Kill Count, James did a bit for Mike's dad where he's saying their entire family are "patriots" to the feds and James appears in a waiter's outfit and on a silver platter is a boot, saying "Your boot, sir" in a posh accent
28:37 I’m surprised James didn’t mention the fact that Mille Bobby Brown collapsed for real during that scene which is why “Mike” looks to the left confused, if I remember correctly he was looking at the directors.
Honestly Billy's death got to me. He was an awful person, but he was still a human who experienced his own life in a terrible way. As a result it's made him rage filled, ignorant and cruel. This doesn't excuse his nasty behavior but explsins why he has developed in such a manner. I kind of wish we got to know more about Billy since what we did see interested me. And when push came to shove, Billy did what was right despite being an awful person. Plus, Max is like...my favorite character so, yeah seeing her sad broke me a little.
exactly i didn't like billy at all the first time i watched it but on my series rewatch i saw someone who was an victim of his environment i mean it started in season 2 when he was scared of his abusive father in his bedroom then when we get the scene in mind this season and you see what all he went through from his asshole abusive father abusing his mother and a young billy trying to defend her only to get knocked to the floor, then billy's mom leaving him with that asshole to be raised into the bully he became it goes to show that parenting is important and if you don't parent your children correctly that will affect the child even more
So happy that James is back and on the show and finally started to cover the other seasons just yesterday was wondering when even season 3 was going to happen. (If James happens to see this just want to say love the todfther license plate)
Can't believe we got a full hour for James' return to his Kill Count glory. What a treat! So excited for this beautiful set and how good the Numbers green screen looks.
when eleven collapses at 28:37 she actually collapsed because she was so tired from acting. You can actually see Mike look at the producers because he wasn’t expecting it.
Leave it to James to come back from a long hiatus with the longest KC episode to date, and the timing is perfect, releasing between part 1 and 2 of the fourth season. Well done as always
The Dustin/Steve dynamic is the best thing this show gave us so far, plus Robyn came out of nowhere and become one of my favorites characters of the show
In my opinion the scene with Dustin and Suzie singing is one of the greatest scene I've ever seen in my life. No other scene made me laugh so hard while I was so excited. And also a lifetime earwig was born for me.
If you like the song, you should try and watch the movie it comes from, which is really good too (But not the second and third one because they are bad)
Love having James back even though Zoran and Chelsea were also amazing. Biggest thing I took away from James’ absence was being able to recognize Zoran’s voice as the bunny in the ice cream ads… hard to reconcile the bunny with the man who loves Bixby. Welcome back James!!!
High Robin being Yoda on crack is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life. “We all die, my strange little child friend. It’s just a matter of how. *And when.”*
Lolz. Also, random fun fact, the girl whose cup Eleven blows up with her powers is the same girl who rejected Dustin at the Snow Ball in the last seasons finale.
James I'm so glad your back!!!!! Also, I loved your Stranger Things episodes, even though I watched it already. You always bring humor into videos, keep it up!
I love all four seasons of the show, and I know there are a lot of people that don’t like anything after season 1, but I liked what Stranger Things was then and I like what it has become now
@@unfortunate1313 I wouldn’t call it milking since the differ brothers have had vecna planned from the start, and season 4 is on par with season 1s level of quality imo
@@jaybarbrey6511 Season 4 is good for now, only thing that excited me was Hopper scenes and Vecna. I feel like the main issue is the cast is very seperated which makes it get boring waiting for the next hopper scene.
In all fairness, when you don’t have a lot of friends from Middle School going with you into High School, you’re often in a friendless, bullied hell until you find that new friend group. They clearly also hated that their new DM and DnD Club President was a rabble rouser getting off on DnD’s “satanic” reputation, so they were soon wishing Will was the DM again by the end of their first semester.
Too bad he couldn't bring in a Marvel reference on Karen considering Cara Buono who played Karen Wheeler also acted in 2003 Hulk movie. Or Godzilla or Enola Holmes reference considering Millie Bobby Brown also acted in those movies too.
Seeing Will stay childish hits really close to home for someone with ptsd. It can make it so hard to be mature when you go through childhood trauma it makes it so hard to age the right way because you are either stunted or you are mature to the point you can’t connect with people your age :((
Without having finished season 4, I think this season of Stranger Things still remains my favorite. The amazing visuals, the horrific kills, all the moments that made me cry, and all the funny bits in between. Truly a work of art
So excited to have James hosting these again, Zoran and Chelsea are amazing (I definitely want to see Chelsea host more KCs) but kill counts hosted by James just hits different.
28:34 Fun fact: Millie Bobby Brown was so exhausted that she actually collapsed, and Finn Wolfhard looked at the director for approval, since he was genuinely concerned for her health.
The new style of this kill count is absolutely phenomenal. The graphics seem better and the numbers sequence was the best yet. I love how he worked out who had the highest kills and so on. It’s great to have you back James!
Looks like whoever asked James to cosplay as the Scoops Ahoy costume if he ever did Stranger Things season 3, got their wish to come true. Also welcome back James 😃🙌

I love ya man
Welcome back James love the new set 🥳
Finally!
I think “Heroes” was played at the end because it was supposed to be a clue that Hopper was still alive. They played it in season one when everyone found out Will was “dead”
That was the point I think
Using David Bowie's heroes as a lietmotif for a fake death is hitting way harder now that i realize what's going on.
Or maybe it's because it's a great song
It was always super obvious that Hopper wasn't really dead.
@@pthibault630 Yeah, the mid-credit scene in Russia basically gave it away. I hate how they undercut the emotion of his sacrifice almost immediately.
Ngl, Alexie’s death got me tearing up, like the wrote him to be so adorable!!! And the actor that portrayed him did such a good job
FOR REAL like I was so sad I never knew that I could be attached so much to a character
The actor was great at the innocence of someone who’s experiencing America for the first time which is a huge contrast of Soviet russia
I think it’s good they did it because STRANGER THINGS ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE ADORABLE! ITS SUPPOSED TO BE HORROR BASED
@@silashurd3597 Nah it kinda cringe
@@silashurd3597 are you okay…?
God Alexei’s death made me so damn sad. He was having such a great time.
i was staying up all night and that happened right as my mom woke up for work (YOU BEST BET THAT I WAS IN TO MUCH SHOCK TO FAKE SLEEP)
I was CRUSHED. so much joy just ripped away.
same.
Alexei's death was so telegraphed, I can't believe anyone was shocked by it. And I really didn't care about the character, because the writers tried too hard to make him "quirky and lovable" in the hopes of getting an emotional reaction by killing him. It was too much of a cheap trope for my taste.
@@amityislandchum your taste? You don't have any, dude.
If you can't get emotional invested in a character that was meant to be loveable, then you simply don't ingest media properly.
If you're THIS cynical, you'll never like anything. You'll only look for faults.
It must be a lonely and miserable life you live
I honestly thought Dacre Montgomery did an absolutely fantastic job in this season and I actually did cry at his death, not really because seeing a horrible person die was sad, but because the flashbacks remind you that he was once an innocent boy who had all his potential stripped away from him
He too
Me tooo! When Max talked to Billy’s gravestone in S4, I started sobbing
I'm from an abusive household and Billy's upbringing really made me connect with the character. It shows you that Billy wasn't a monster, he was just a human coping with his trauma in all the wrong ways. Perhaps Billy could've met someone one day who would've shown him how to healthily overcome his trauma but sadly that potential future died with him.
He died protecting Eleven, it just shows that he was a good person who got corrupted by a bad life. 😥

Yes! This exactly, I can’t see why people don’t see this point in why his death was sad.

Hi Cinema Summary, your amazing, I love watching your videos
Have a damn good day
Have a damn good day
Cinema Summary, what a surprise to see you here!
Fun fact, when el collapsed after throwing billy through the wall, it’s because it’s so hot on set bc the sauna, you can even see mike look offscreen at the directors
Let me get this straight, James come back from a half year break doing kill counts and his first video since coming back is a kill count of the whole of season 3...? This guy is a legend!
Zoran and Chelsea were terrific, but it’s great to have you back, James! Hope your break was great, and looking forward to the future! Also god help us, he has bar graphs now.
This
Yes they where but there was just something different about James glad to see him back
What movie did Chelsea do the Kill Count for?
Honestly, I hope that we can get more hosts on the kill count. I missed James and his iconic personality
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Steve went from protective boyfriend to Single Mom taking care of several kids and that's the best character development anyone could ask for
And poor little Stevie has to deal with being rejected.
Yep. He was gonna be Billy, but he became the big half of Stustin! Robin and Erica r part of it too, of course.

Eleven/Millie did not collapse because of throwing billy across the wall but, in the set it was very VERY hot.
Millie had actually collapsed because of exhaustion.
You can actually see fin looking of set for help.
Makes sense why that scene was inaudible as well 😅
that and in a interview she said that she had broke her foot on set thats why she was scream and finn wolfhard looked over because it wasnt scripted
This is why this channel is leagues above and legitimately professional in every way, James took a more than earned break and somehow still gave us great content w two amazing hosts, shout-out Zoran and Chelsea, kept the community constantly updated, and then hit us with a freaking HOUR long Killcount.

The way the episodes are set up is one of the reasons I love Stranger Things so much. In every season there is one or a group of characters that go around Hawkins each discovering something different about the main enemy of that season and at the last few episodes they all come together in the same place, like starcourt, and fight whatever it is they discovered.
@qopoy dnon Me too I think that the models and animations of the show are what make stranger things stranger things.
Except in this season, they give us (the audience) the answers to the entire mystery within the first 2 episodes, and then we have to spend another 6 hours watching the characters slowly figuring out everything we already know. It was so poorly written. Even the characters themselves were suddenly written as very different and unlikable.
@@amityislandchum yeah i kinda agree with this season it could've been written better. i think it was set up to be a great season but it wasn't executed very well.

RodeoFX (the studio that made the fx) came to my college to talk about their work on stranger things s03.

Came here to comment pretty much the same thing lol. It's a sad death, he definitely sacrificed himself for the kids.

Wrong it is the best season
Wrong. 4 is best.
Dacre did amazingly! Vecna could never. I found the fact that Mind-flayed Billy could pass as human, as well as it not being 100% clear how much was the mind flayer and how much was Billy at times, as James mentioned, made him all the more terrifying.

Billy really reminded me of William dafoe’s green goblin especially when he was crying and grabbing the piece of tile on the ground. Reminded me a lot of goblin getting his glider out while talking to Peter

I took it as it actually being the real Billy until Will got goosebumps and the Mindflayer took hold of Billy and made him grab the tile.
I actually felt really bad for billie when he died. Looks like he actually wanted to help out in the end
He was a good person corrupted by a bad parent/life. Many people can relate to this. The generational cycle of abuse is an extremely difficult one to break.
Yea. But, it doesn’t excuse his previous horribleness.

Billy deserves some respect. He was fighting the mindflyer so much. Karen could have been his fist victim but he told her to stay away. When you see him offer heather and family to the flyer you can see a tear in his eye. When he tricked el he was crying while the flyer was talking. In the sauna he was begging for help and apologized so much before it took control. In his final moments he took control and saves el el
isn't he racist?
Agreed. Billy may have been awful through most of his time, but he sacrificed himself for El. Seeing that he was once a normal kid who was abused horribly and lost his mom is tragic because you see what he could've been. El tapping into that humanity and him in the end saving her is beautiful and made me cry. No, it doesn't excuse his behavior to Max or anyone else, but it's understandable. His death is one of the most emotional.
But he’s a racist😢

@@leomashak6894 the actor said he sees how people could see that but Billy actually was showing so type of compassion. We know Billy's mom was hit and abused.

The fact that James managed to say "Really, Its Great" in all 3 kill count seasons of Stranger Things😂 Thought that was pretty cool
28:37 I’m surprised James didn’t mention the fact that Mille Bobby Brown collapsed for real during that scene which is why “Mike” looks to the left confused, if I remember correctly he was looking at the directors.
i thought he was going to and got my hopes up, then he didn’t :(
Honestly Billy's death got to me. He was an awful person, but he was still a human who experienced his own life in a terrible way. As a result it's made him rage filled, ignorant and cruel. This doesn't excuse his nasty behavior but explsins why he has developed in such a manner. I kind of wish we got to know more about Billy since what we did see interested me. And when push came to shove, Billy did what was right despite being an awful person.
Plus, Max is like...my favorite character so, yeah seeing her sad broke me a little.
Yeah, I was sad when he died
exactly i didn't like billy at all the first time i watched it but on my series rewatch i saw someone who was an victim of his environment i mean it started in season 2 when he was scared of his abusive father in his bedroom then when we get the scene in mind this season and you see what all he went through from his asshole abusive father abusing his mother and a young billy trying to defend her only to get knocked to the floor, then billy's mom leaving him with that asshole to be raised into the bully he became it goes to show that parenting is important and if you don't parent your children correctly that will affect the child even more

In all fairness, when you don’t have a lot of friends from Middle School going with you into High School, you’re often in a friendless, bullied hell until you find that new friend group. They clearly also hated that their new DM and DnD Club President was a rabble rouser getting off on DnD’s “satanic” reputation, so they were soon wishing Will was the DM again by the end of their first semester.
