Why does everybody love Eddie Munson in ‘Stranger Things’ so much?
Okay, it’s not a question at all. I know why, and I’ll explain it.
I know what you’re thinking. It’s not that hard to understand why Eddie is so popular. Like a lot of the characters on Stranger Things and on other shows he has all the telltale characteristics of characters we are often drawn to. He’s super nice and lovable and has memorable and often humorous lines. He’s the type of person we aim to be: he loves himself in all of his eccentricities and he’s comfortable in his own skin. But he also has insecurities and (spoilers ahead) he makes righteous sacrifices. Also, he played some bitchin’ licks. Mystery solved, Sherlock.
And yes, that is true, and that is ultimately what my point will be. But what you probably don’t know is WHY you perceive those things about his character. I mean, most of the characters on that show are great, and few characters outside of Steve and Dustin have received as much affection from fans as Eddie Munson. Why is that?
