People need to stop sharing this meme, it makes no goddamn sense it should be EVERYBODY: blank OTHER THING: the thing everybody was not asking for. Holy shit.
@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 😭
@Um, I never went to ovoo javer yeah, definitely. his character could've stayed alive one more season (at least) and he could've become a part of the "group", just being more friendly and collaborative with everyone else. btw #billydeservedbetter
@@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.
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
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
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
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.
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
@@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
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.
Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real 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 Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering
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
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
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.
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.
Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real 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 Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering

At least Billy got to think of his mother once again before death. He got to apologize to Max for his rude and disrespectful attitude towards her. And he became the hero everyone needed.
@@brianabrown9612 he also threaten her, put her in a potentially harmful situation, like twice, had an extremely disrespectful attitude toward her even for siblings, and broke her shit. so yeah, abuse.
It was nice to see that for years he couldn’t stand up to his dad, but in the end he was able to stand up to an even bigger monster and died a hero’s death

Mychemical Panicattacks, while Billy had a very troubled past and looked out for Max to some degree I wouldn’t say he was a good guy. He got very physical with Lucas(a 11 year old kid),was a jerk to Steve, and nearly hit the kids with his car. His past might be a reason that he is aggressive towards most people but I don’t think it’s an excuse.
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.
This actor is perfect for playing the villian. My little sister cried and was scared when they trapped him in the sauna room and he screamed and smashed the door. Good Job Dacre

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!
That EXACTLY what I thought But Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real 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 Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering
He was never a good person to begin with. His death wasn't an ultimate redemption, but it brought some closure seeing how broken and manipulated the poor dude was, and how change was possible.
Billy's dad was a huge piece of shit to him and Max. I was hoping Billy would finally fight back against Neil and get his revenge for what he did to him and his mother.
I like to think him putting himself out in the community being a lifeguard and teaching swimming lessons sort of implies even before he got flayed he was somewhat trying to be a better person, unless he got the job exclusively for the chicks lol or both. If he truly didn't give a shit he wouldn't have called out that kid for running.
The relationship between max and billy is like a roller coaster but when billy sacrificed himself to save el max realized even though she hated him a lot for her whole life she will realize that you don't love someone so much until their gone... because of his abusive dad he became over protective on max and did it the same way his dad did because his dad never loved him so he did not know how to feel or give emotion towards max which just breaks my heart that he's not gonna be in the other seasons anymore.
Basically he only learns aggression, and control as a mean to care for someone from his dad. I was hoping he could have more development arc, but well...
It was really different compared to the relationship between Will and Jonathan, although their parents are also often absent, seems like they also have more room to grow from their surroundings so they turn out quite okay.
Its so sad, Billy just needed help. When his dad hit him, you see him crying because he's overcome so much abuse from his dad its so sad because he did have so much to live for. He just needed help. He needed more support, better friends, and to heal his family relationships
Yea so true but Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real 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 Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering

Come a little bit down „mike fangirls“, learn to deal with it if someone does not like your favorite character.
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
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..
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
So true but Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real 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 Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering

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 !
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.
7:06 when you look at billy’s eyes he is crying, this is the real Billy begging for help, but his body, mouth and voice is possessed by the mind flayer, in this scene he is as scared as Eleven. But he can only show it through his eyes.
Billy was def one of the saddest if not saddest death ever. Hopper would be the saddest but he’s not dead. He’s contracted to play in 4 seasons. Billy is honestly the best actor in my opinion tho
My opinion: If the mind flayer hadn’t infected him, he would never have grown as a person. The mind flayer showed him fear that he’d never experienced, even from his abusive dad. He saw everything the mind flayer made him do and he got to see the damage he had done from a different point of view. He understood fear and emotion. El connected with his on an emotional level which brought him back and gave him the power to overpower the mind flayer’s ability. He sacrificed himself to make up for everything he had done, and NOT just the stuff he did as a mind flayer minion, for everything he’d done.
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!

They should've kept him alive and let him redeem his relationship with max, steve, and literally everyone. He would have been such a good addition to their group.
So True, im so hurt by his Death, im so sorry to say this but his story adds so much to the Series, something that other characters don't have. No hate but for me that's the truth
Billy's character was so well developed... It was mainly shown that him and Max didn't exactly have the best sibling bonding but we realise in season 3 that that is not true. In our mind, Billy was just a bully and a terrible brother... But later we started realising this is not how he always was. Past happenenings affected him but there was still good in him...good not even Max could bring out. Good that only the one person he loved could bring out-of his mother. So hats off to the stranger things director for making such and amazing character. RIP Billy💜 ( 1 purple heart for everyone person who was affected by Billy's death)
It was so sad knowing that the only thing Billy truly wanted was to be happy again, and he didn’t even get that in the end... RIP Billy Hated him in season 2 though he quickly became one of my favourites in season 3.
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.
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.
Billy's death was the saddest, for me it was sadder than Alexei's, since it was showing his abusive past and everything, and then he sacrificed himself... his own sister watched him die as well :(

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
Michael Moretti His mother left him and he was physically and mentally abused by his father...
Billy is such a well written character, I believe he is underrated in the show, his redemption at the end was amazingly well done
Dont think he is underrated the entire season 3 was about him
@@Dupylo he wasn’t even in the season poster
@@Dupylo it was not about him. it was about the mind flayer who possessed him.
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
@@mortaljuicy7548 Yes he was
The actor (Dacre Montgomery), did an amazing job playing Billy. I think he was perfectly cast and his performance is flawless ;)))
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 know a lot a people didn't like him, but I was actually really sad when he died. Gone but not forgotten.
Me too
Tessa Gutierrez and he’s also racist.. and that’s the ONLY reason i dislike him.
Me to
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
Someone commented “he wasn’t evil, just broken” and that is so so true. He loved Max he just had some serious issues because of his dad and his past.
@@BurningMarsh how do you know if being racist is impossible to come back from?
@@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
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.
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
“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
Dacre Montgomery is so talented I mean really
right !!
I love his poetry
Amen
AND he has very Beautiful EYElashes👁️👁️😍
Allen Walker he has beautiful everything 🤤
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.
You do know actors differ from their characters in many ways, right?
Was he really? Man F those people because Dacre seems like a awesome dude
Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real
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
Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering
He gave 110% his acting is so on point
Bob: I had the saddest heroic death in the show.
Billy: Hold my beer.
Nah

Yeh technically Billy had a more heroic death cause he sacrificed himself to save eleven from getting killed

Oh God, Steve...
okay but i never hated billy
kaine bolts I know
like most of animes do.
Season 4 will not be the same without Billy😞
Yes it will he barely showed up only when he was rude to max and season 3 he died it’s just how the show goes
There’s gonna be a season 4?!?!?!?
I mean, it’s kinda obvious there’s a Season 4, no offense, it ended on quite a cliffhanger.
Hopper who?
R.I.P Hopper (maybe not)
R.I.P Alexei
R.I.P Billy
He is in the upside down
“Damaged people are dangerous.”
Such a riveting performance, the fixed stare, the flare of a nostril. Intense!
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.

To be quite honest Billy's character actually made Stranger Things even more interesting.
Yup. Especially in season 3

@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
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%

I thought that actually.
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
@@pariperriello6595 Max doesnt really know anything about 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
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

@@twotonmoon why is it people keep saying this like did y'all miss all of wills story in season 2
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.
Possibly my favourite character other than Steve. His acting was absolutely incredible and his death so gut wrenching. Amazing.

Mychemical Panicattacks, while Billy had a very troubled past and looked out for Max to some degree I wouldn’t say he was a good guy.

Yes, I spent all of last season hoping that Billy would get some comeuppance of sorts, but right when he was about to die, I screamed "NO, NOT BILLY"!
I think they killed him off cause he was like Steve, we hated him, then loved him. I guess we can’t have 2 Steves.
Neo Tea different kind of love for billy than steve
So true!
Tbh I think it’s possible that he’s still alive and that he’s in the upside down and the one that died was the billy from the upside down
That little nod from Billy when Eleven said,
“She was real pretty”
So sad :(
Also his last words were "I'm sorry" 😢😢😢😢
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!

for me, billy's death was the saddest because it seemed like he wanted to become a better brother or a better person in general but he hAd tO dIe
He was never a good person to begin with. His death wasn't an ultimate redemption, but it brought some closure seeing how broken and manipulated the poor dude was, and how change was possible.
Billy's dad was a huge piece of shit to him and Max. I was hoping Billy would finally fight back against Neil and get his revenge for what he did to him and his mother.
I like to think him putting himself out in the community being a lifeguard and teaching swimming lessons sort of implies even before he got flayed he was somewhat trying to be a better person, unless he got the job exclusively for the chicks lol or both. If he truly didn't give a shit he wouldn't have called out that kid for running.

The relationship between max and billy is like a roller coaster but when billy sacrificed himself to save el max realized even though she hated him a lot for her whole life she will realize that you don't love someone so much until their gone... because of his abusive dad he became over protective on max and did it the same way his dad did because his dad never loved him so he did not know how to feel or give emotion towards max which just breaks my heart that he's not gonna be in the other seasons anymore.
Damn i never thought of it like that. I just assumed billy doesn't want max to be happy so he bullies her with any material he can get his hands on.
@@nadsoos2212 exactly like after watching s3 i realized that which honestly broke my heart.
I think for max, he was closest to family because their parents are never around
Basically he only learns aggression, and control as a mean to care for someone from his dad. I was hoping he could have more development arc, but well...
It was really different compared to the relationship between Will and Jonathan, although their parents are also often absent, seems like they also have more room to grow from their surroundings so they turn out quite okay.
Its so sad, Billy just needed help. When his dad hit him, you see him crying because he's overcome so much abuse from his dad its so sad because he did have so much to live for. He just needed help. He needed more support, better friends, and to heal his family relationships
That little bit of Billy crying was really emotional, he normally acts like such a never-crying tough guy asshole but he just had to let it out there.

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..
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
8:25 he was happy
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
Who lowkey fell in love with Billy when he saved el then cried when he died and cried even more when he said "I'm sorry"
Cried* died*
Me i did
Me too :(
Died bro
Ik i messed up
When El talked about his mom you could see in his eyes how broken he had gotten. 😢
So true but Damn like dacre’s acting in this season is insane he can play so many emotions and his acting feels so real
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
Also an example for this puppet thing is whenever we see Billy he’s mostly crying and that’s because it’s Billy’s souls shining the the Evil puppet of the mindflayer cause Billy is in so much pain and fear he’s genuinely crying and suffering
I hated him
I was ok with him
I loved him
He died ...
I cried

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 ❤

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.

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.
dont you mean the mindflayer????
@@abrahamalbarracin8739 Vecna controls the mind flayer
7:06 when you look at billy’s eyes he is crying, this is the real Billy begging for help, but his body, mouth and voice is possessed by the mind flayer, in this scene he is as scared as Eleven. But he can only show it through his eyes.
Ye I noticed that too it's like he is asking for help
William when he was possessed used his fingers to show morse code so his fingers can also work
That's some get out type shii
ik i noticed that, hes also crying when driving the car into steve i do believe :((
terrific actor

Oooooof
Billy is not just simple antagonists, he has motive and reasons. He also has background that make him more than just one dimensional...
The fact that Billy tried to help Steve with his game after the bulldoze. Crazy how complex he truly was.
lmao i think he was just teasing him
Nah it was basically condescending “advice”, to basically tell Steve he was the better player.
Fr, He obviously learned from the GOAT Kyle lowry
Max:I don’t see any cows
Billy:Clearly you haven’t met the high school girls
*SCREAMING*
Best line xd
Anime Cookie He’s saying the high school girls are cows
They took that line from his audition tape 💀 he was role playing and they loved it so much they decided to use it
Billy was def one of the saddest if not saddest death ever. Hopper would be the saddest but he’s not dead. He’s contracted to play in 4 seasons. Billy is honestly the best actor in my opinion tho
Imo Bob or Alexei is the saddest death of the series, Billy was troubled and abused but I never rlly started liking him and Hopper never hit me hard
Alexi was a boring character tbh..
Hop could play in flashbacks and be dead.. you never know.
Hopper is in a prison in Russia I think
Kustom rAzor i think joyce is the best actor, there is just so much emotion while she acts
I feel like when we first met billy we didn’t realize how big of a role he would play.
I did realize this actually😎

*HEY LARDASS*

My opinion: If the mind flayer hadn’t infected him, he would never have grown as a person. The mind flayer showed him fear that he’d never experienced, even from his abusive dad. He saw everything the mind flayer made him do and he got to see the damage he had done from a different point of view. He understood fear and emotion. El connected with his on an emotional level which brought him back and gave him the power to overpower the mind flayer’s ability. He sacrificed himself to make up for everything he had done, and NOT just the stuff he did as a mind flayer minion, for everything he’d done.
People don’t change unless these traumatic events happen, so you are right, that experience made him change with the cost of his life
Wow very interesting to think about

I loved Steve and Billy from the beginning
They should've kept him alive and let him redeem his relationship with max, steve, and literally everyone. He would have been such a good addition to their group.
Harry Styles I know!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
I agree
So True, im so hurt by his Death, im so sorry to say this but his story adds so much to the Series, something that other characters don't have. No hate but for me that's the truth
Nah the group would get too large lol
But it would have just repeated Steve’s character development...
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.
Billy's character was so well developed... It was mainly shown that him and Max didn't exactly have the best sibling bonding but we realise in season 3 that that is not true. In our mind, Billy was just a bully and a terrible brother... But later we started realising this is not how he always was. Past happenenings affected him but there was still good in him...good not even Max could bring out. Good that only the one person he loved could bring out-of his mother. So hats off to the stranger things director for making such and amazing character.
RIP Billy💜
( 1 purple heart for everyone person who was affected by Billy's death)
Yooo, nobody could've said it any better
@iiTs Ghostyyy and not to mention the fact that billy just wanted a normal life
It was so sad knowing that the only thing Billy truly wanted was to be happy again, and he didn’t even get that in the end...
RIP Billy
Hated him in season 2 though he quickly became one of my favourites in season 3.
He did beat up Steve and *that* is unforgivable.
But I mean.....
He slightly redeemed himself.
Wish we had more scenes between Max and Billy :/

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.
