Stranger Things 3x8 Reaction & Review

if you think this rips, wait for season 4 man, spartans defo crying in season 4

Joe Mcauley

What always gets me is El comforting Max after Billy dies, telling her everything will be okay, not knowing that she herself has suffered an even greater loss. It’s heartbreaking. IIRC Millie Bobby Brown (El) didn’t read Hop’s letter until she filmed the scene at the end, in order to get a more genuine reaction.

Tingeling

Agreed. Also, people grieve in different ways. It’s actually healthy to allow yourself to laugh and smile at times even while grieving.

I felt sympathy for Billy once we understood him, but he was a racist ass to Lucas. I couldn’t forgive him for that.

Becca

Spartan is correct; that is, in fact, how Americans pronounce “mayor.”

Jackamoo

Billy was also one of my favourite characters!!! I’m so glad you guys did his journey and sacrifice justice with your reactions 🥹🥹 I’m so excited for season 4!!

Gummybear

Season 4 is far and away better than 2 and 3. Though I really enjoyed 2 and 3 like you both did. Its just they both kinda kept the show static and the same. Season 4 is just fresh and really takes a step forward.

Josh

Season 4 is the best season of television. So excited for you guys to see.

Katy Rawlins

Honestly, can't wait for season 4, season 1 and 4 are my fave!

Lara Amaro

It was a 3 month timeskip. They wouldn’t all just be sitting around still depressed lol. Sure they would be depressed inside but what else are they gonna do. But anyways great reaction as always. I’m excited for season 4!

Stephen Blair

Erica has turned into one of my favs.. she steals every scene she is in

Stephen Blair

Was definitely heartbroken! Can't wait for season 4! Love your reactions!

Sommers

From an American: It’s pronounced ‘may-er’. Sorry Pudgey, but your pronunciation sounds like a female horse- a ‘mare’. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Becca

Now you need to watch The Never Ending Story for full context if that amazing singing montage!!! 😂😂😂😂

Becca

Also, loved your reaction! Can't wait for the next season!

I think even if they closed the gate before the mind flayer killed billy, he still would've died because he was still flayed (like how they had to burn the mind flayer out of Will in season 2 before they closed the gate)

E10

My favorite part is always the intro, to see if Pudgey loses it or not, and seeing the disappointed face of Spartan :D

Cs Zoltan

Man s3 stinks. Thankfully s4 was a return to form

EasyTab

True, but his step dad was the reason he’s who he was.

ThrashDaGnarz

Billy is a very polarized character, but I truly felt sorry for him, and I wish he would have lived longer and been able to redeem himself even more. Can't wait for season 4!

Elizabeth Foust

True. Billy is a bit of a tragic character, but I can't related to the love S&P have for characters like him or Buntaro. Billy had a tough upbringing, but as you said, he has been a jerk all along.

Chris C

Can’t wait for season 4!! You guys are in for a wild ride for that one.

Andrea Berganza

Why would anyone morn Billy? He was awful to all of them

Ben M

Same lol 😂 tbh me during season 1

Super Novice

It wouldn’t really make sense for the characters (except Max) to mourn Billy. Billy never had a positive interaction with anyone except maybe that one scene with him and Steve playing basketball (?), other than that he was an antagonistic jerk to everyone in season 3, and then was possessed early in season 4. It would be like if they mourned Nancy and Jonathon’s boss or the mayor. Only Max and to an extent El really got to know Billy

Franky E

Season 4 is amazing, so I cannot wait for your guys reaction! Specifically episodes 4,7, and 9

Logan Arnold

your reactions did not disappoint LMAO. I’m glad u guys enjoyed it! While, again, s3 is the weakest for me, it seriously has some peak moments, and gets intense when it wants to! also I agree, the musical moment irked me so bad first time I watched it. It’s funny now in retrospect, but definitely still a questionable writing choice imo. Damn, but that ending of everyone saying their goodbyes and Hop’s monologue kills me every time. Now onto season 4, my all time favorite!!!

❥ rina

“I don’t care about Barb anymore” lmfaooo me at the end of season one 👀

Franky E

Cant really appreciate the Dustin and Susie scene if you have never watched The Never Ending Story.

Shawn Gordian

Great finale, lots of action ,chaos and emotions all in one. Funs over. You’re in the endgame now

Mitchell Wright

tbh its nice and kinda refreshing to see you guys has this much compassion towards billy, most ppl i known who had seen the show and reactors i came acrossed either hated him or didnt mind that he died. To me i mean i get it billy was a product of his parents and had a tragic upbringing but it still didnt excuse the things that he did so yh i wasnt sad about his death, though he did redeemed himself a little by self sacrifice.

Brigitte Chai

Loved the reaction, like most of us, been waiting for this one from the start. Now onto the best season, it’s gonna be fun.

BigTim86

oh damn true! that's wild

CpaSpartan Pudgey

It's crazy that in two full seasons, Hopper and Billy were never in a single scene together.

David

The singalong irritated me the first time I watched too. I was so anxious about what everything going on. However, upon rewatch after rewatch, it makes me chuckle and the other characters’ reactions make it funny to me now.

LLCoolT

I think it explains SOME of why he is the way he is, but I don't think all of his behavior is the result of his abuse. Just my personal opinion of course.

SuddenImpulse

What a fucking finale! Truly rips your heart out !! I can not wait for season 4 by far my favorite! And most emotional ! Just to add a bit to Billy’s death while I didn’t mourn his death, like you guys, because he was awful the whole season, just plain cruel, even if he did have a terrible father sure, you sympathize and to an extend recognize why he’s so cruel, however I do feel like ALOT of his actions were not justified, I did like that he sacrificed himself for Elle, but that’s the only action I liked from Billy.

Joanna 🌚

This episode absolutely rips. Billy was set up to be a side antagonist, but seeing the abuse he suffered from his dad shows us why he is the way he is and yeah he might be a dick, but he absolutely stood on business at the end. The “I’m sorry” at the end was heartbreaking. Don’t even get me started on Hop. Such a good dad 💔

Ismail Chettfour

can’t wait for season 4… just truly mind blowing i’ll say

antonio

Obviously they know that. It's just an interesting observation and it makes for interesting conversation.
