To me that advice was the definitive Wrong Genre Savvy scene haha. Bob did the perfect delivery for an afterschool special about bullying and nightmares, but he's actually in a horror movie where the monsters eat people.
Bob and Henry Creel once knew each other based on the first shadow play and it’s my theory that the clown he was talking about was just Henry’s illusion to torment Bob.
Sadly, no one is really to blame for Bob's "bad" advice to Will: Bob himself has no clue about the real danger Will's facing, because even Will and Joyce themselves are currently assuming that his "upside down episodes" are just standard PTSD/hallucinations, rather than full-blown events with physical consequences. If Will and Joyce knew that his visions were a genuine threat, I'm sure they'd have told Bob, and Bob would've told Will to run away.
Did I miss something tho? I know Hopper knew, but I always thought Bob came off as clueless because Joyce never told him. Joyce seemed to treat him as like an escape to "normal" kind of guy
@@TheRulesLawyerRPG She wasn't legally allowed to tell him anything because of the papers they all signed. He only ended up finding out because he was with them when shit went down again.

It's easy to forget now, because there have been several seasons, but Noah Schnapp (Will) was barely in the first season of the show, compared to all the other kids. It was the three other boys and Millie Bobby Brown that got most of the praise and attention. But the audience didn't really know until second season just how good of an actor Noah is. He *crushes it* in this season.
Because he doesn't know any different?? Bob literally just thinks these are bad nighmares.... Joyce & Will aren't really letting him any different because Joyce is really hoping these are just PTSD nightmares........ So Bob is giving the best advice he can under those circumstances?!
Bob did NOT give bad advice. He had no idea that Wills situation was so radically different. Almost any other time, it could have been beneficial. I see this thing with reactors being upset at characters for things they don't know, which is ridiculous... ever hear of Dramatic Irony?
Yeah and in hindsight, I think they did that to show how even though they had to keep mum about things, it still wasn’t ideal in certain situations. People not knowing can inadvertently mess things up, but luckily they told him before he could do anymore damage 😆
It's honestly kind of weird for people to assume that his mom's new boyfriend who doesn't know the details is supposed to assume that what Will is experiencing is real, when in literally every other case in human history it was not real.
I understand why it was said, but "KILL IT WITH FIRE! KILL IT WITH A LAMP!" is one of the most unintentionally hilarious lines I've heard on this channel in a minute
That last scene freaks me out each time and I agree about Dustin being stupid here. I get why he did it though but I still feel like if you know your friend is acting weird from an experience with strange creatures a year ago then you should kind of be more suspicious like Mike was. But in all fairness, Mike is in a shit mood because he misses Eleven so he's been going against the grain anyway.
When Dustin is late for class, they were talking about Phineas Gage. He was working on the railroad when an explosion drove a metal rod through his head. His Corpus Callosum (the part of the brain that joins both sides) had been severed. You can hear the teacher saying that his personality had changed so "that people started to refer to him as..." just as Dustin is bursting into class! But it also applies to the trauma that happened to Will and the fact that now (bully) students are calling him Zombie Boy! Bob's advice was bad! And Will should not have listened to Bob and kept running. Nightmares are products of the imagination, and Will should know that what he is facing is not imagined... not a nightmare!! I do like the way that Mike put two and two together when Max described what made her fall off the skateboard, and just automatically surmised that it was El! Can't wait for the next one!
@@Diegesis BB is a hard one to put down and pick up again cus the tempo, BUT... Stranger Things will return for at least one more season in the near future. Mayyybe hit a pause on everything except BB and ST, finish them off, then return to the others, then start up Better Call Saul
All I could hear in my head at the end of the episode, with the girls freaking out, was Gorillaz's Feel Good Inc. 'Shh, Shaba Shaba, Shabada Feel Good Shh, Shaba shaba, shabadaga Feel Good'
Did Ariana say 'scressed'? 🤣🤣🤣 I kinda love it as a portmanteau of scared and stressed, which perfectly describes what these ladies are going through 😅
4:40 I used to lose my keys all the time from my adhd, then I found some cool magnetic wreath hooks that I put on the inside of my front door and it’s their home now after several years of building it into habit 😂
How did you miss the Gremlins music when dart was escaping? p.s. Keep in mind; nobody has told Bob anything about what happened the previous year; other than the agreed-upon public "version". He is truly clueless; as are most people in the town.
Honestly even the kids who went through it all are more clueless than we are. They had no sign anything weird was happening AGAIN for a year, except Will. We know that it's the start of season 2 so whatever freaky thing happens is portentious, they need a little bit to realize it's not just normal life stuff...
Hopper could have brought Mike over to his cabin and told him what was up since it's to risky to tske her out i mean he already knows they are good at keeping a secret this whole time and they already made a deal with the lab guys not to say anything about the upsidedown. But of course it could lead to Mike coming over on his own all the time which could lead to followers.
@@GreyhawkTheAngry yea that's why I was thinking they might follow him but Hopper I bet could find a way to sneak him over there just for a day or two so he knows where she is at least and she gets to see and talk to him for a bit but Hopper must think even that is too risky.
@@TheRepublican777 You're damn right he thought it was too big of a risk. Look back at Season One, those people killed a friend of Hopper's just for finding Eleven. After everything he experienced his paranoia has been dialed up to pretty extreme levels and justifiably so. A small slip up and Eleven ends up a prisoner again with Hopper dead, and along with maybe some of the other characters too. That's not to say that the situation Hopper had Eleven in didn't have significant shortcomings and arguments against it, but that starts getting into spoiler territory.
@@GreyhawkTheAngry although the first group was worse than Owens and his group but Hopper does not know that yet he is a bit better to work with than Papa
It would also put Mike in considerable danger just to have the knowledge that El was alive/around. He's not going to put another child in danger. Plus he knows how proactive Mike and his friends are, they could try to do something against the "Bad Men" again and get into even more danger.
Omg gremlins fucked me up too when I was little! 🤣 🙌🏻 I put all my stuffed animals out in the hallway so in case they came alive they wouldn’t be in my room when they did! Can never be too careful 😅
Let me point out an interesting fact...not a spoiler though. In season one you'll notice Hop's daughter that died had a blue hair band on before she got sick and got her hair shaved off. Then Hop had the band on his wrist after she shaved and eventually died. As the series progresses in season 2, Eleven is seen with the band on her wrist; symbolism that Hop lost one daughter and found another. It's so heartwarming
I CANNOT STAND HOW SHITTILY EVERYBODY TREATS MAX THIS SEASON LMAO, #JUSTICEFORMAX, SHE DESERVES THE WORLD. Also Lucas's dramatic jump-kicking of the door is so funny. 😂 The kids play, like, just EXACT kid vibes and mannerisms so perfectly, lol
dustin is not stupid :( dart is his friend imagine you got a new pet and also thought you discovered a new creature and then your friends want to kill it
Imagine you think you have a pet that looks like nothing you've ever seen after already seeing the demogorgon?! New animals aren't a safe bet in Hawkins. He's being dumb.
@@Diegesis 100% this, lmao. Like it's understandable to be protective of it when you didn't know it was from the Upside Down, but the SECOND Will and Mike reveal to the others he's an Upside-Down creature, after EVERYTHING the gang went through last season, Dustin should VERY MUCH have understood that he's too dangerous to keep around, ffs.
(But at the same time, it's ok for the main characters to have flaws and stupid moments, especially since they're just kids, but it doesn't change the fact that he was indeed being VERY stupid lol)
Spoiler ‼️‼️ Also because of Dustin being so good to him, d'art saves them in the end against the other demadogs, there is always good with bad and bad with good
This second season is just like any second act in a play - a whole bunch of low points for a whole bunch of characters. Not a huge fan of lots of decisions of characters in this season, foremost among them Dustin, and then Hopper, and El's decision to leave the cabin (which stems from Hopper's decisions). Nancy and Jonathan are, as usual, the rock stars of this season.
Judging from the comments, these two seem to once again misunderstand a very obvious plot point. I have no idea how this channel has as big of a following as it does considering there are hundreds of better reaction pages.
I feel like if Bob knew what Will was truly experiencing, he would have definitely told him to run like hell lol
