Bruce Lowe

I have a theory about this. Firstly, we were not shown what happened to the Spider Monster after season 3. Most likely, his body was examined by the government led by Brenner and Owens. And we should also not forget about the part of the Mind Flayer that remained in the Spider Monster and, as we know, fragments of the Mind Flayer do not die after the gate is closed, but simply fall asleep. Secondly, from Vecna’s prophecy we know about a certain huge creature with an open mouth, but the Mind Flayer in his particle form has no trace of a mouth.And what if the Spider Monster came to life when the gate opened?

I remember someone telling me that Stranger Things is about redemption, however, not every character got a redemption arc and I can name a few who did not.

Tommy Hagan

Carol Perkins

Agent Connie Frazier

Larry Kline

Grigori

Tom Holloway

Bruce Lowe

Ozerov

The scumbag and sleaze (Hargrove and Byers, beyond redemption)

Lt. Col. Jackass Sullivan (way beyond redemption, although he may appear S5)

Warden Melnikov (way beyond redemption)

Jason Carver

Yes, Vecna himself was also offered the chance, but he dropped the ball on it.

After season 4, I feel like everyone forgot about Grigori. But he killed one of the most fan favorite characters ever, one of the show's icons; Alexei. He's the main reason Hopper was stuck in Russia for the entirety of season 4. He's a ruthless and despicable man whose profession is killing; he's completely robotic and emotionless. To me, he's worse than Sullivan, Brenner, Connie Frazier and Angela combined.

Next, Tom Holloway and Bruce Lowe. To me, these two were strangely compelling characters. Bruce had an infuriating personality, and Tom had an interesting balance and internal struggle; he seemed to switch personalities between his work at the Hawkins Post and with his wife and daughter.

Finally, the Flayed as a whole. I cannot tell you how effective this concept was. The Mind Flayer mass-possessing was just phenomenal, I shouldn't even have to explain.

Lets have a moment of silence for the fallen.

Poor Heather.

Poor Janet.

Poor Mrs. Driscoll.

Poor rats.

Poorish Billy.

NOT poor Bruce & Tom.

Poor Alexei.

NOT poor Grigori.

Poor Adam & David & Melissa & co.

Poor Russian scientists just trying to do their jobs.

Everyone remembers Billy and Alexei and even Heather, but I will always remember the Janets and the Mrs. Driscolls. They slay.

Does your name start with a B?

If no - congrats! You’ll survive!

If yes - you can join Benny, Bob, Billy, Brenner, Barb, and Bruce in the cemetary.

One of them makes HORRIBLE jokes (Bruce/VIP #4 aka Leopard Mask) while the others act like they're comedy gold. It's so stupid.
