      I feel like millie may have the spotlight over Sadie now, but her ego/ personality is gonna catch up to her. 5-10 years, the script will be flipped and Sadie will be a mega superstar. Im calling it. In a way, it’s already happening.
      Character matters in the industry. You have to remain humble just like Sadie has. Can’t say the same for millie. Could be a case of becoming famous too early. Sadie has definitely been eased into it more. Nonetheless, fame is getting to millie and it’s showing. Why i think Sadie will be more successful in the long run

      Jamie played beautifully, he had perform the role of a guard to the insanely twisted evil that doesn't just blame papa for what he has become. But rather who he has always been, is what most modern villain fail to deliver and trying to hard to justified them being bad like the joker movie.
      Eleven should not have been MVP tier in my opinion is because she was repeating her previous arc where is is uncovering her power or potential with her sister. The plot was great, but she is just S and not really MVP since her performance was very same from previously season and the plot feels very drag out from being trauma alone.
      I felt like this season should have kill steve to further push eddie as a character for the next season and get joe back to play the mental roles of vecna inflecting pain on the group that they have lost someone important and how eddie has to struggle to be what steve was for the group and not being able to put hims to regret not being able to be of more use to the team.
      This way we can have the group lost of 2 main character, max and steve to feel the dramatic lost and danger vecna is and eleven blaming her self for not being strong enough or considering her papa wise words in regards to her not being strong enough.
      let's see how season 5 would be, i can only hope it was worthy to kill of eddie and the ending lands and not end up like game of throne XD

      @@valentinaa.e I could see him definitely helping Hop, Joyce, and Murray with closing the gate. Probably would have been helping Murray with shutting down everything, but more than likely would have scrambled to help Hop and Joyce once Grigori popped up and put everything in jeopardy. Unfortunately, I see him having his heroic death in an even more grisly fashion as he bravely saves Hopper when he's in danger by the machine. I would definitely give him the big moment of being the one to cause Grigori to go into the machine, but he would be pulled in by the Russian as well. Then they could still go with Joyce having to make that hard decision, but in complete shambles because of what she just witnessed and what she HAS to do to her best friend as Hop would be in the same position. Their relationship would most definitely be on the platonic level if Bob was around in this season, but could still lay the seeds of Hop realizing he's developing feelings for Joyce early on in the season. Just means things would have to go slightly different in season 4, no big kiss or anything like that between he and Joyce, but definitely could have planted seeds with Joyce's own developing feelings early on in season 4, which would ultimately lead to the season 5 payoff between the two of them.

    dustin is EXTREMELY important to this season and the last season. honestly without him, most of our main characters would be dead. he has saved everyone's asses numerous times and his intelligence is to thank for it. he's really the brains of any group of characters he's teamed up with for the season, and he's good for teamwork because while he's just a kid who can't really do much, he knows what to do and has the other characters helping him execute his genius plans. all of dustin's observations are based in science and physics which is why he's always so pissed when the others second guess him. of course he's right, the laws of physics literally back him up every single time. sure he's a kid, but damn if he knows what he's talking about. and he's a bit egotistical about it, but if you were the one who was always doubted despite always being right every time while not having the energy to put up with everyone's bullshit, you'd have an ego too. he doesn't get enough credit for how many times he's saved hawkins.

    I totally agree with the ranking, but Lucus needed to be on the mvp status. The first half of the series, he was on his own self discovery. Trying to fit in be a normal teenager. He wanted to be popular, and by doing that he ended up distancing himself from the team. However, everytime where it was time to show his true colors. He ended up siding with his friends and not the jocks he so Desperately wanted to be. (which is S tier material), but on the second half of the show he took it up a notched. He fully embraced who he was and had his heart truly broken when max died. Caleb performance had so many layers and he landed the ending!

      as much as I respect your opinion I think Lucas was s-tier this season, he was great and played a big role which is why he should be s-tier but if anyone who had an important role was an mvp everyone on that list would be an mvp except Jasons friends(except the one that got Chrissy crumbled) Lucas was great but he was not an map in my opinion

    When I saw the first episode of the show and met Eddie, I thought I was going to hate him. He seemed like such a corny character to me, but a little bit after Dustin and the crew found him in hiding, I felt him grow on me. By the end of Vol. 1 he was my favorite character, and I had the worst anxious feeling that Vol. 2 was not going to treat him very nicely. Was never more upset to be correct. I think the Duffer brothers made a big mistake by getting rid of Eddie, it felt like he could just be so much more if he made it to season 5. No one will ever compare. Rip to the Hawkins freak

    I feel like since this show started with Will, it would be so satisfying if he stepped back into the spotlight for S5. He and El have the most history with the Upside down, so imagine how hype it would be if they worked together to take Vecna down. Will using his connections to spy on Vecna so they constantly have the upper hand. It also makes sense from a storytelling perspective because both Henry and Will have been described as very sensitive boys and they both seemingly have a lot of artistic talent. And you can also flesh out his confession to Mike and reveal that El didn't comission the painting or feel the way he said. That it was all Will. Hopefully his story ends in a satisfying way. Let Will Byers be happy.

      I totally get that.

    I like your list after watching vol.2. However, I would move Jonathan, Will, and Mike to the B tier solely due to the lack of character development. These three had been sidelined, and even the little things they came into were not enough to elevate their status. Argyle and Eddie were new, yet they did more and were a great addition to the group. Erica has only grown since the last season, and this year, she became a significant player.

      Became a babysitter, then close friend to the gang, and then mum ( Mom - I’m from the UK )
      He cares so much for them all. U can see this especially in EP.4 when they were chilling in the car while Max was reading her letter to Billy and then he’s like alright we’ve waited Long Enough.

    Max is THE MVP, each time she's in the scene everyone (Vecna, Lucas, Eleven) shine brighter. We kind of get that vibe a bit too with Eddie but not as much as with Max.
    Jason I would have put him in another cuz his action do impact what is happening in the story. If the position of the murder teen is important to maximaxe the supergate then Jason is responsible for putting Patrick over Lovers Lake and is surely responsible for putting Max in a coma and opening the supergate since without him Lucas would have been able to put Kate Bush back on and prevent things for going too far with that part of the plan.
    To me Jason is pratically Vecna's MVP and that's why he should be higher than just "jerk"

    I'm happy you put Argyle on A tier. That's where I would put him, but he seems to be really underrated by fans. I think he added a lot of depth to Jonathan's character. To see that depth, you need to read between the lines, but it's still very much there. And just the fact that he befriended Jonathan, who's never actually had a friend in the entire show, is reason enough to be an A tier for me.
    And I'm happy about Lucas being S tier. He's also underrated, but so important to the show.

Noah did not have enough screen time but he gave an A performance in the poster scene with Finn Mike monologue was done well but again not enough of Finn in this season.

    I think people misunderstand what the duffer brothers were trying to do with the jock characters. They aren't just "jocks" who are sociopathic people hunters. They are very much a mirror of the main gang itself. From their perspective, they saw a girl they cared for get absolutely disfigured and murdered, and the clear person to blame was Eddie. It was his trailer. He was part of a nerd club they didn't understand which had hellfire in their name. And he ran away. As soon as they got close to him the same thing happened to his dear friend. He was heartbroken. Confused. A literal teen. And angry. Nearly everything he did was justifiable from his point of view and much like the gang in every other season, they were just trying to protect their town and the people that lived within it from demonic forces.

He’s easily one of the most interesting characters to me from anything ever. I love analyzing his character and figuring out his motivations, and it’s interesting because you can almost relate to his motives and understand them. Super interesting character, good villain, I think he’s neat. I do believe a redemption arc could work out, too, which adds to the intriguing factor.

    The only thing i would change is eddie to the red one but this is one of the most accurate

    For me the MVPs are Vecna, Max, Dustin, STEVE (my fav character), Hopper and Eleven

    Eddie, hop, venca are my mvps. Steve would have been there. His story didn’t really jump like season 3.

    i'd put Dustin in the MVP tier and honestly maybe lucas thats debateable and that russian guy who helped joyce and hopper up to A or S but this is a really good list

    Argyle had a purpose for the writing and tone but I found his character overly one note. Good luck having anything dramatic with him around.

      Same here, he was a good character, but he took all the tension away for me.
