100 subscribers With 0 videos exactly, he was protective over max like any big brother should be, he was just an asshole doing it because he was abused by his father 😢
Well yes and no , he was protective over her but in a abusive way because the anger that his father brought he released on Max so he wasn’t a good brother but that’s not his fault , I wish we could have seen more of Max and Billy instead of El and Billy
Sacha Girvan yah they’re step siblings I think that instead of el doing all the stuff with billy ( which didn’t make sense ) I should have been max so before he died she could see that billy was a good guy and learn about each other they could have done that max since she’s part of Billy’s family could see what billy was doing and I don’t know had a connection. In season 4 I would like too see what Billy’s death did to her and her back story and el didn’t know anything about billy before she came into his mind
@Productive Elf Well, the accuracy of the quote doesn't really excuse anyone's actions. Billy was abused and hurt, and he was also an asshole to many people because he can. All in all, his character is pretty depressing 😭
If it wasn't for Dacre probably none of us would've sympathized with Billy in the end. Dacre was bullied through all his school life so he knew how he wanted to realize this role, and that bullies always come from some inner pain or trauma at home... Dacre's just such a professional and the result obviously resonated.
15/10 actor right there. Not only does he know how to express emotions (especially utilizing his own past) but also he gives 110% when he acts, seeing as how he was covered in real cuts and bruises after intense filming scenes because of how hard he went. Ik it's cheesy but like, what a king.

@@mr.dog3472 nah, if someone has been horrible their whole lives, then that's who they are, that's who they chose to live as. Even if they did one good thing right before they died. Same goes for people who have been amazing their whole life but do one bad thing before they die.
Apart from Steve, Billy is my favourite character from Stranger Things. I feel like he elevated season 2 so much and I was gutted when he died in season 3. Unreal arc and the tears in his last moments before he sacrifices himself as El informs him that she knows of his inner pain is just amazing
@@BurningMarsh I don’t think he was racist. Yes he hated Lucas in particular, but they didn’t say why. Perhaps he was jealous that Maxine was making friends and he wasn’t. You gotta remember, he didn’t just hate Lucas. He hated everyone who wasn’t Nancy’s mum. He made degrading remarks about high school girls, he hated Hawkings as a town, he hated Steve Harrington, he called a fat kid “lard ass”. He hated pretty much everyone and everything. The way I see it. It was a projection. He hated himself coz he couldn’t protect his mum from his dad. He probably blamed himself for his mum leaving. He didn’t quite come to terms with his past. He was lashing out, taking it out on everyone because he didn’t cope properly with his mum running away especially with his dad around slapping him about. Hence why he worked out like a maniac. He’s a classic case of “Hurt people hurt people”.
@@akshaysingh4712 Lmao you’re kidding, right? “They didn’t say why”? They didn’t have to. He hated Lucas because he’s black. They didn’t really delve into why Billy was racist, but he targeted Lucas - the only black kid in their friend group. He literally told her “don’t hang out with people like that, they cause trouble” specifically pointing to Lucas. He didn’t like the idea that she was potentially romantically involved with a black dude. So yeah, he had many issues, he was hateful in general, he had trauma, but he was also racist lol
@@CrystalRose1111 you think he’d react differently if it was Dustin or Mike? I don’t think so. You could swap any characters for Lucas and everything he said about Lucas would still make sense in terms of his character. It would still be consistent with his character and role. “Don’t hang out with kids like that” could mean anything. He could mean, he hated nerds, or the loners in school or people with full families. Or he could be rambling nonsense like he always does. Adding that he was racist does not make sense. It doesn’t add to his story arch. His story is a redemption story, it takes you from hating him, to feeling sorry for him to loving him. He is a result of his childhood trauma, and environment. When the mind flayer possessed him, and he lost control of his body, there is a good person in there regretting the things he’s forced to do by the mindflayer. In the end, when he focused on the good memories with his mum, he came through and made the ultimate sacrifice, redeeming himself. Adding that he’s racist, doesn’t add anything to that arch. So I think he wasn’t a racist, he just picked on Lucas because he’s the one most frequently seen with Max and he didn’t like Max having any friends. But if it was Dustin, he would have said exactly the same thing. He hated everyone except middle aged mums, which again comes back for his unresolved issues with mummy. His control issues, and rage and hatred of the world was a result of his mummy issues, which came from his childhood trauma which were resolved in the end. He couldn’t control his dad being abusive, his mum abandoning him, his dad having a second family, so he tried to control max and in the end, he lost control of himself with the mind flayer. When he got it back, and sacrificed himself, his last bit of control he said sorry to max. So being a racist, doesn’t fit his character story arch.
Will The Wise honestly I hated Steve in the first half of Season 1 but then when he started to redeem himself he became my fav thing about Stranger Things and the main reason I watch it lol, hope he’s more of a main character in season 4 kinda like season 3
Thank you! Finally someone who acknowledges that he was a racist. I’m sorry but he deserved to die if that’s the person he was. His character wasn’t going to develop unfortunately and that’s why he had to get killed off.
You can’t ignore his mistakes, but season 3 showcased his full character way better and in the end proved that he was just lost. When given the right motivation, he became good
The only thing, is that earlier, in season 2, they could've written his character better, they could've showed the abuse seen when steve was holding off the demo-dogs in the junkyard, and Billy could've held them off too to help Max, but that all aside, he was one of the best characters in this series

I love the scene where he tells El that he's going to end everyone, as a tear falls from his eye. Such a nice touch, letting us know that the real Billy was still in there, and he knew that what he was being forced to do was so very wrong. I sometimes wish that Billy had survived as a newly self-aware and more empathetic person. The continued struggle between him and his own dark side could have been epic! Not to mention he would have made an awesome ally in the fight against the mind flayer. But I guess he had to die so that Steve could continue to shine!

Billy was a troubled soul. His mother left and his dad was abusive. I felt sympathy for him from the beginning and I cried when he died in S3. Underneath the hard exterior, he had heart ❤

@@jenniferharris4997 he had a point. Jonathan was taking pictutes of nancy and thats why he broke Jonathan's camera. And he also thought nancy was cheating on him that night
Billy literally deserved so much better. 1: He got abused by his dad 2: His mom left him and didn't say goodbye. 3: In season 2 episode 8, at 8:20 into the movie, you can see the pain in his eyes referring to how his dad slapped him across the face and canceled his date because his 13 YEAR OLD SISTER WENT OUT WITH LUCAS... 4: HE RISKED HIS LIFE TO SAVE HIS SISTER... I'm making a petition about how Billy deserved better 😡 NETFLIX YOU DID HIM WRONG
@@killboggins Not an excuse, you clearly didn't understand the comment. They are saying he deserved better because of his life and circumstances, as someone who has been through abuse I can tell you my reaction was to harden, it was to become mean and angry and defensive. This was clearly also his reaction, and it's difficult to be anything but abusive when it's all you've ever known. His character is complex and getting to know him through the series is what made people connect with him and see him as a hero in the end, someone worthy of redemption. He is not evil or irredeemable, he was emotionally stunted and abusive as most boys are in his shoes, he had room to grow and he did. He apologised to Max in the end, upon realising it was an option and something he felt he needed to do. He went through fear and trauma to understand, if he had been kept alive longer I'm sure all of these 'but wah wah he was abusive!!' comments would be fewer, because you would see his true personality and growth. P.S. he was nowhere near as abusive as his father to anyone despite this, and was constantly protecting Max from him and any other outside forces he (wrongfully) deemed harmful AKA Lucas.
@@killboggins you are evil too then, forgiveness is first characteristic of a good person and nobody is saint ,I've seen many bad people become extremely kind so ,stfu .
I swear to god, people just love making excuse to defend an a$$hole like Billy he tried to murder a group of kids, tormented other kids in school and at the pool, was violently abusive but his dad was mean to him so it makes it ok..
This kid had trauma that's why he was acting this way but in the end, he sacrificed himself and did apologize! This dude can freaking act tears just flows out lol!
It makes sense that theorized vecna went after him. He felt his vulnerable nature with a hard exterior. He was horrible and so was his father but vecna probably prayed on him because he saw and felt his weak and scared interior.
Steve: Season 1: jerk Season 2: best mom of the world Billy: Season 2: jerk Season 3: innocent traumatized boy Edit: sorry i forgot; Mike: Season 1: caring Season 2: caring Season 3: jerk Edit: Holy shit guys calm down. I did not want to attack mike, I just wanted to say that he has pretty much turned into the negative (in my opinion, this statement is subjective!) and I personally find that he has become really nasty in some points. Of course everyone interprets this differently and I do not understand why you have to attack me just because I personally do not like mike anymore. Come a little bit down „mike fangirls“, learn to deal with it if someone does not like your favorite character.
Even though Billy had a reason for being abusive, that doesn’t mean that it’s an excuse. You can tell that Billy wants to change (sorta), so it sucks that Billy died before he could change. Because Max never got to have the brother she hoped she would have. Max doesn’t deserve to feel so much grief and guilt over such a toxic relationship.
even if billy treated the ppl around him terribly, he’s such a fascinating character. there’s so much there and they opened the door for some real character development, but then they kill him off. wtffff
Not every character can live. The reason Billy was so great was because you saw who he truly was in the end. Sometimes you don’t appreciate things until they’re gone. So his death was actually a good thing.
I feel like Billy is a perfect example of how children mirror there parent’s behavior. You can tell with each instance he’s mean or cruel to those around him it’s because he’s doing it so he doesn’t appear weak. I remember Dax Shepard in his podcast was talking about how when he was younger, guys threatening him and being cruel used to make him feel violent rage, but as he got older all he saw in those guys was a scared broken child that was abused in some way or another putting on a facade of toughness so they can never be hurt like they were when they were helpless.
@@davidwallgren7575 What circle could he break if they didn't give him love since his mother left? I think that people who have never suffered any kind of similar intrafamily abuse should shut up.
@@afterlbbh4866 That's not the point. It's that bullying is unacceptable no matter what. Since when is it okay to make others' lives miserable just because YOURS is?
really wish billy didn’t die, he had an opportunity to really grow as a person. it would’ve been cool to see him maybe fight alongside steve and they could become a badass duo
Bro his death about destroyed me, the fact that in his final moments he was able to overcome the mind-flayer and sacrificed himself to save the kids,,,,, 😭 I loved getting to learn more of his backstory this season and the writers did SUCH a good job explaining but not excusing his actions. Like we learned what made him into this abusive piece of shit and are able to feel empathy for all that’s he’s gone through, yet that doesn’t make us forgive anything he’s done which made his death hit even harder, because this is a character who I wished would just choke last season, but now I’m full on sobbing over his death because him sacrificing himself was the ultimate price to pay to save el’s and probably everyone else’s life, which showed that deep down, underneath all that trauma and abuse he’s suffered in his life, he was still that young innocent little boy. Now that’s some powerful shit, Duffer Brothers, y’all really did the damn thing
Even though this was years ago, I cry every single time I hear "Billy" because I think of this scene. It's so sad dude. And Billy was only 18 years old.
I hate it how they make it so every death is extra devastating because of 1-2 reasons. Billy: He just redeemed himself. Barb: She died because of her best friend's choice which barb told her not to do. Her last word was "Nancy" Bob: Joyce was right there. He was so close. Hopper: Eleven and Joyce. Everyone knew he could survived if the song did not happen. Alexei: He was having fun. He was having fun.
Loser. DerpyDuck exactly billy literally just turned into a good guy but killed him I was thinking that billy would be really injured then become a lifeguard again he was my favorite character
He died sacrificing everything for a girl he barely knew, just by reminding him of this mother. Now THAT is compassion. Edit: ty for the likes, appreciate it !
billy is such a great character. he isnt evil. he is in anger. when eleven talked to him shortly before the mindflyer got him, i bet it was the first time since his mom died that someone showed compassion towards him.
Terminium uhh actually.. he does have a story, in season one we found out he had a daughter named Sara who died tragically from cancer and also how Hopper and his wife divorced .. But in season 2 he hid El after the gang thought she was gone and soon he adopted El after she found out her mother’s brain had fried and couldn’t take care of her. And everything else that happened, so you see he does have a story, but fans are making predictions that he is still alive and I’m one of them who thinks that way as well. But Netflix probably didn’t make one of these vids for him maybe because of that reason?
Yustin J. Don't you remember season 2. The mindflayer tries to erase your memories. El was able to remind him of what is probably one of his most private and favorite memories of his. That scene makes perfect sense.
would’ve been real interesting if the sauna test was a success and see him join the gang for the remaining of season 3 and see how much he knew about vecna for season 4.
My theory: Billy actually cares about max, he just doesnt know how to show them because he gets abused by his dad. Then when he wants to become a good person the mind flayer possessed him.
My theory : Billy probably thinks he could beat the shit out of his dad so he wouldn't abuse him but if his dad found out billy is stronger he's gonna start abusing max instead so he endured to protect her
Steve and Billy have an underrated relationship throughout the show. The scene where Billy tells Steve that he's moving his feet is awesome because it shows us that he's super tough, but not a total dick because he's giving steve advice. Also when they fight and Billy says "looks like you got some fire in you after all, Harrington!", that's Billy paying Steve legit respect. Finally, when Billy is beating steve up and says "no one tells me what to do" that was mainly just Billy taking his anger toward his father out on steve.
they probably thought she didn't give a shit about his death because they knew he treated her un-brotherly like, or, because 11 is the main character that everyone must protecc huhu 🙄
Well shit, Eleven used all her powers and almost life force and was sorta...clinging to life. She ultimately helped save everyone (along with Billie) So I think she deserves some type of hug. But I agree Max should’ve gotten a hug, but at least El was the first one to give it to her.
his death hurt me the most cause he reminded me of my own brother, down to the facial features and body type and memories almost. it was almost like watching my brother die in front of me, first person death on movie that has ever made me cry
Dante Valdez yeah, well a character that has a name starting with “B” needed to die this season because anybody with a name starting with “B” dies in Stranger Things

He literally told her “don’t hang out with people like that, they cause trouble” specifically pointing to Lucas. He didn’t like the idea that she was potentially romantically involved with a black dude. So yeah, he had many issues, he was hateful in general, he had trauma, but he was also racist lol
I don’t understand why people like to softball racism, even when it’s spelled out. Just call it what it is
@@CrystalRose1111 you think he’d react differently if it was Dustin or Mike? I don’t think so. You could swap any characters for Lucas and everything he said about Lucas would still make sense in terms of his character. It would still be consistent with his character and role. “Don’t hang out with kids like that” could mean anything. He could mean, he hated nerds, or the loners in school or people with full families. Or he could be rambling nonsense like he always does. Adding that he was racist does not make sense. It doesn’t add to his story arch. His story is a redemption story, it takes you from hating him, to feeling sorry for him to loving him. He is a result of his childhood trauma, and environment. When the mind flayer possessed him, and he lost control of his body, there is a good person in there regretting the things he’s forced to do by the mindflayer. In the end, when he focused on the good memories with his mum, he came through and made the ultimate sacrifice, redeeming himself. Adding that he’s racist, doesn’t add anything to that arch. So I think he wasn’t a racist, he just picked on Lucas because he’s the one most frequently seen with Max and he didn’t like Max having any friends. But if it was Dustin, he would have said exactly the same thing. He hated everyone except middle aged mums, which again comes back for his unresolved issues with mummy. His control issues, and rage and hatred of the world was a result of his mummy issues, which came from his childhood trauma which were resolved in the end. He couldn’t control his dad being abusive, his mum abandoning him, his dad having a second family, so he tried to control max and in the end, he lost control of himself with the mind flayer. When he got it back, and sacrificed himself, his last bit of control he said sorry to max. So being a racist, doesn’t fit his character story arch.
Dacre Montgomery is so talented I mean really
right !!
I love his poetry
Amen
AND he has very Beautiful EYElashes👁️👁️😍

I like how stranger things make hated characters likeable
For instance, Babysitter Steve
Will The Wise ikr
Movies do that all the time
@@silphias9572 yep
Will The Wise honestly I hated Steve in the first half of Season 1 but then when he started to redeem himself he became my fav thing about Stranger Things and the main reason I watch it lol, hope he’s more of a main character in season 4 kinda like season 3
He isn't evil, he was a broken person influenced by his abusive father, but that does not justify his racism and the things that he put Max through.
Thank you! Finally someone who acknowledges that he was a racist. I’m sorry but he deserved to die if that’s the person he was. His character wasn’t going to develop unfortunately and that’s why he had to get killed off.
it was the 80’s , serial killers were literally on the loose back then
@@Gabyrinconavila again it doesn't justify his actions.
@@editsbyshawn racism was the norm back then
@@AddictedSurvivalist again it doesn’t justify his actions
It's so weird how Billy tends to actually give Steve advice and somewhat respect him
He was most likely mocking him, trying to correct him and assert dominance. More like, "you're an apprentice at this.' Type of interaction.
Seriously. Steve can't fight for shit as we know
It was condescending “advice”. Basically telling Steve he knew how to play better by trying to give him “pointers”.
@@peytonteague5965 i agree 100%
True also the shower scene
You can’t ignore his mistakes, but season 3 showcased his full character way better and in the end proved that he was just lost. When given the right motivation, he became good
I think he HAD pottentiall but season 3 made HIM this dumb villain
The only thing, is that earlier, in season 2, they could've written his character better, they could've showed the abuse seen when steve was holding off the demo-dogs in the junkyard, and Billy could've held them off too to help Max, but that all aside, he was one of the best characters in this series
@Michael Moretti That can only come from a little 12 year old kid with no life experience
Michael Moretti he watched his mother get abused and then she left him with an abusive dad, who abused him what seemed to be daily. And All of a sudden a sister gets dumped in front of him

Possibly my favourite character other than Steve. His acting was absolutely incredible and his death so gut wrenching. Amazing.

Also this scene that first shows Billy in the sauna where he says he did horrible things is his own mind he’s crying and in pain and fear but the mf takes control only over his body and that why he takes the glass piece but then the mf takes full control that’s why Billy is calling max these words and completely rages because the mindflayer then has full control and the complete full control is this scene were he’s on the floor of the sauna spitting and cracking up as the MF takes complete control that’s also wenn will gets the goosebumps

I love the scene where he tells El that he's going to end everyone, as a tear falls from his eye. Such a nice touch, letting us know that the real Billy was still in there, and he knew that what he was being forced to do was so very wrong. I sometimes wish that Billy had survived as a newly self-aware and more empathetic person. The continued struggle between him and his own dark side could have been epic! Not to mention he would have made an awesome ally in the fight against the mind flayer. But I guess he had to die so that Steve could continue to shine!

nobody liked him but after the events of s3 he realised and he changed but the mind flayer possessed him still he only showed he changed when he died
cry me a river. no excuse for being abusive and bullying others
@@killboggins Not an excuse, you clearly didn't understand the comment. They are saying he deserved better because of his life and circumstances, as someone who has been through abuse I can tell you my reaction was to harden, it was to become mean and angry and defensive. This was clearly also his reaction, and it's difficult to be anything but abusive when it's all you've ever known. His character is complex and getting to know him through the series is what made people connect with him and see him as a hero in the end, someone worthy of redemption. He is not evil or irredeemable, he was emotionally stunted and abusive as most boys are in his shoes, he had room to grow and he did. He apologised to Max in the end, upon realising it was an option and something he felt he needed to do. He went through fear and trauma to understand, if he had been kept alive longer I'm sure all of these 'but wah wah he was abusive!!' comments would be fewer, because you would see his true personality and growth.
P.S. he was nowhere near as abusive as his father to anyone despite this, and was constantly protecting Max from him and any other outside forces he (wrongfully) deemed harmful AKA Lucas.
@@killboggins you are evil too then, forgiveness is first characteristic of a good person and nobody is saint ,I've seen many bad people become extremely kind so ,stfu .
I swear to god, people just love making excuse to defend an a$$hole like Billy he tried to murder a group of kids, tormented other kids in school and at the pool, was violently abusive but his dad was mean to him so it makes it ok..
This kid had trauma that's why he was acting this way but in the end, he sacrificed himself and did apologize! This dude can freaking act tears just flows out lol!

Man Billy was one of the greatest characters in this show. I started to hate him but more and more learned to love him and cry when he died.
THE BEACH SCENE AND THE SACRIFICE NEVER FAILS TO MAKE ME CRY I LOVE IT SO MUCH
The truth is that Billy never had a happy beginning and ending😢
He had a '79 Camaro, that's something happy at least.
He was happy with his mom, didn't you see? That was the beginning, air head.
Longwalktonowhere nerdwalk happy moments but not beginning or end they mean.
I hated him in the beginning then when I saw his dad slap him and he stated to cry I was like “OH HE GETS ABUSED” he was my fav character in season 3

To be quite honest Billy's character actually made Stranger Things even more interesting.
Yup. Especially in season 3
Activision Gamer Girl He is a badass tho

@Last_ Kiya yeah I was expecting a character development on s4 but he died 😭
still can't get over his death
spicy joon it is because Joyce closed the gate, but hopper died 😖 edit: he didn’t tho
Billy is the best character in stranger Things I'm so sad because he died but I'm so glad because he again appear again in season 4
But only in the imagination of max
I have this insane theory that everybody is gonna die in the season 5 finale 💀
Even though Billy had a reason for being abusive, that doesn’t mean that it’s an excuse. You can tell that Billy wants to change (sorta), so it sucks that Billy died before he could change. Because Max never got to have the brother she hoped she would have. Max doesn’t deserve to feel so much grief and guilt over such a toxic relationship.
“Steve did his best to protect them.”
Me: *dont mess with mama Steve or his kids*
... He is a great mom. We won't forget that.
Steve protecting the kids always reminds me of Sid trying to keep the baby T rex safe in Ice Age 3
even if billy treated the ppl around him terribly, he’s such a fascinating character. there’s so much there and they opened the door for some real character development, but then they kill him off. wtffff
Exactly, totally agree
They already did that with Steve (obviously not to the same extent but it was more realistic)
Plus he’s a good actor
Not every character can live. The reason Billy was so great was because you saw who he truly was in the end. Sometimes you don’t appreciate things until they’re gone. So his death was actually a good thing.
He can treat me terrible any time
I feel like Billy is a perfect example of how children mirror there parent’s behavior. You can tell with each instance he’s mean or cruel to those around him it’s because he’s doing it so he doesn’t appear weak. I remember Dax Shepard in his podcast was talking about how when he was younger, guys threatening him and being cruel used to make him feel violent rage, but as he got older all he saw in those guys was a scared broken child that was abused in some way or another putting on a facade of toughness so they can never be hurt like they were when they were helpless.
Billy and Bob are real heroes and will be remembered for their sacrifices.

Bro his death about destroyed me, the fact that in his final moments he was able to overcome the mind-flayer and sacrificed himself to save the kids,,,,, 😭 I loved getting to learn more of his backstory this season and the writers did SUCH a good job explaining but not excusing his actions. Like we learned what made him into this abusive piece of shit and are able to feel empathy for all that’s he’s gone through, yet that doesn’t make us forgive anything he’s done which made his death hit even harder, because this is a character who I wished would just choke last season, but now I’m full on sobbing over his death because him sacrificing himself was the ultimate price to pay to save el’s and probably everyone else’s life, which showed that deep down, underneath all that trauma and abuse he’s suffered in his life, he was still that young innocent little boy. Now that’s some powerful shit, Duffer Brothers, y’all really did the damn thing
He was my favorite character, I don't care what he did in the show lol it's all fictional
I was hoping for Billy to have a character development and join the squad 😭 he deserved better
Even though this was years ago, I cry every single time I hear "Billy" because I think of this scene. It's so sad dude. And Billy was only 18 years old.
I hate it how they make it so every death is extra devastating because of 1-2 reasons.
Billy: He just redeemed himself.
Barb: She died because of her best friend's choice which barb told her not to do.
Her last word was "Nancy"
Bob: Joyce was right there.
He was so close.

Kaya Joelle Yeah.
Kaya Joelle totally
@@uzi6497 ooh sorry please dont hurt me
He actually had a sad life if you really think about it.
Hes truely the most tragic character
The “I’m sry” hits different dacre is such a brilliant after he gave 110%
He’s one of those villains that are just too cool to hate. The actor really nails that 80s bad boy persona
He died sacrificing everything for a girl he barely knew, just by reminding him of this mother.
Now THAT is compassion.
Edit: ty for the likes, appreciate it !
No, he understood how dangerous the mind Flayer is, and how his mind was controlled all this while.

Hello
Billy Hargrove hello
just remember eleven saved everyones ass by telling billy his mum was cute
SyxKattz i’m crying 😭😂😂
HAHAHHAHAHHHA I CANTTT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
no billy saved everyone’s ass by SACRIFICING himself
@@scorpio.stellium No eleven did, thats what caused billy bob jones to make a sacrifice
billy is such a great character. he isnt evil. he is in anger. when eleven talked to him shortly before the mindflyer got him, i bet it was the first time since his mom died that someone showed compassion towards him.
Billy was the only one who had the guts to stand up face to face to the mindflayer
Damn, he was 18 ? ? nah, don't believe you
he was a senior in high school in s2 so yeah
but looks like a 35 year old man
@@ronyvffd1656 nah man roughly looks like in his mid twenties which he is,
@Siya He's actually 24, not 25
He looks 25
There isn’t a video like this about Hopper because he isn’t dead🙃
no it's because hopper didn't have any flashbacks and no story except that he's a sheriff and that's it
Terminium uhh actually.. he does have a story, in season one we found out he had a daughter named Sara who died tragically from cancer and also how Hopper and his wife divorced .. But in season 2 he hid El after the gang thought she was gone and soon he adopted El after she found out her mother’s brain had fried and couldn’t take care of her. And everything else that happened, so you see he does have a story, but fans are making predictions that he is still alive and I’m one of them who thinks that way as well. But Netflix probably didn’t make one of these vids for him maybe because of that reason?
He is just stuck in the upside down
SRT SunDown hopefully idk what I would do without Hopper 😭😭
@@Syphiix. no probs in russia because the russians said not the american
Billy's childhood was so so sad and heart-broken. nobody knows that except 11 , right?
I think max aswell
Billy saying he’s sorry was all I needed to hear. RIP king
it's a netflix thing to make me love character 0.5 seconds before he dies
g-dragon oh that means Steve doesn’t have long to live then
Max: tries to connect with her own brother by telling him his own name- doesn’t work.
El: sEveN FeEt
Yustin J. Lol I’m sorry this is sad
Yustin J. Step brother who hated her
Yustin J. Don't you remember season 2. The mindflayer tries to erase your memories. El was able to remind him of what is probably one of his most private and favorite memories of his. That scene makes perfect sense.
@@wasteoftime5848 omg i swear this is most legit reason
Yustin J. That username looks oddly familiar
i miss this man more than anything. i don’t know why but i have a massive emotional attachment to him
He had the craziest ride and he was human at the end of the day. Loved this progression
The actor (Dacre Montgomery), did an amazing job playing Billy. I think he was perfectly cast and his performance is flawless ;)))
Billy’s last words “sorry” 😩💔 catch me crying again
Yeh he was just a victim of the society of "being a man"
-El bromas
Magnus Sheck so true
Not to be annoying but “sorry” isn’t more than one word
The Gacha Couple they said sorry?
ooh I always thought he said hurry ahah
Really miss Billy on the show. I wish he had been able to help the kids fighting the mind flayer, not killed by it.
Maybe because billy would have been a really strong asset ...like this guy literally would have killed el by himself if mike wouldnt have interrupted
would’ve been real interesting if the sauna test was a success and see him join the gang for the remaining of season 3 and see how much he knew about vecna for season 4.
hes not evil just broken
My theory:
Billy actually cares about max, he just doesnt know how to show them because he gets abused by his dad. Then when he wants to become a good person the mind flayer possessed him.
My theory :
Billy probably thinks he could beat the shit out of his dad so he wouldn't abuse him but if his dad found out billy is stronger he's gonna start abusing max instead so he endured to protect her
Not a Gamer totally agree!!
Not a Gamer I agree with you, although I wish we could see Billy beating up his abusive dad in the face, that would be pretty satisfying
Ayanna Michaella Girao I wonder what would’ve happened if he survived that? Probably would’ve been a better guy. And stood up to his dad?
Ayanna Michaella Girao not a theory it’s a fact
Billy:Hurts Lucas and pushes him on a fridge
Steve:NOT MY CHILDREN BISH
LOL
Wdym he beat the fuck out of Steve if it wasn’t for max and her friends
Dashti Taleb cause Steve character is known as mama Steve cause of how well he babysat the kids and fought for them like a mom would
Steve is the best momma anyone can ever have
@VANESSA JONES ooh look the grammar police but uh actually people call it bish too
To be honest, I feel really bad for Billy. Being abused his entire childhood and his death was so emotional and sad :(
5:19 the car broke down, but at the start of episode 2, the car magically wasn't broken.
Probably the rats worked on it. They ate fertiliser, why couldn't they fix a car?
9 minutes of watching dacre montgomery's gorgeous acting
Aliefia Augustine and millie's (a little bit)

As all of our parents say:
“The older one is the one who sacrifices themselves for the young ones..”
Steve and Billy have an underrated relationship throughout the show. The scene where Billy tells Steve that he's moving his feet is awesome because it shows us that he's super tough, but not a total dick because he's giving steve advice. Also when they fight and Billy says "looks like you got some fire in you after all, Harrington!", that's Billy paying Steve legit respect. Finally, when Billy is beating steve up and says "no one tells me what to do" that was mainly just Billy taking his anger toward his father out on steve.
billy is a sissy that can't fight
So is no one gonna talk about how everyone was hugging El after Max brother died in front of her eyes? Like Max needs a hug rn.
Well, El hugged Max after that "incident" happened
El was letting Max cry on her and El was the first to hug her
they probably thought she didn't give a shit about his death because they knew he treated her un-brotherly like, or, because 11 is the main character that everyone must protecc huhu 🙄
That is like when Ron and Hermione were hugging when Dobby died in Harry Potter☹️
Well shit, Eleven used all her powers and almost life force and was sorta...clinging to life. She ultimately helped save everyone (along with Billie)
So I think she deserves some type of hug.
But I agree Max should’ve gotten a hug, but at least El was the first one to give it to her.
Me: I’m starting to like Billy.

idk what else to say other than i love this man with all my heart.
his death hurt me the most cause he reminded me of my own brother, down to the facial features and body type and memories almost. it was almost like watching my brother die in front of me, first person death on movie that has ever made me cry
It was a cool ending, but I really think that Billy deserved at least one more season
Dante Valdez yeah, well a character that has a name starting with “B” needed to die this season because anybody with a name starting with “B” dies in Stranger Things
1shot AlexXD lol, Benny, Bob, Brenner, Billy, Barb
_1k.ryan_ Brenner could be alive in season 4
watch him be "the american" - Russians took his corps
@@ryanquaddy9964 if the american isn't jim hopper i'm so fucking pissed off. He was my favourite character in the whole show.
Wish we had more scenes between Max and Billy :/
Yeah :"/
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m season 4 max was seen struggling with his death and we got some flash backs
TroubledMindsX there’s no season 4
@@Naomi.c773 yeah there is, they will start working on it in October.
Shannon Cotter you do know that this means right, if they posted Billy’s story but not hoppers story... maybe his story is not over...
When he propositioned Mrs Wheeler at the pool. . . I literally nearly soaked my knickers. Probably the best flirting scene I've ever witnessed x
His actor was so good he literally pisses charisma
