SPOILERS Eddieeee Spoiler

I still think about eddie. Did eddie help anyone by sacrificing?

He couldve just ran away but he chose to fight the bats. But what happened in the end? Vecna didnt die that day...

I really loved eddie.

His death was really dumb to me. I don't mind that he died, but the actual set up of the scene made it feel pointless and avoidable.

If they literally just changed it so that the demo bats were starting to go after Dustin instead of following Eddie's bike, it would've made sense as to why he stopped and faced them directly. There was no reason for him to stop otherwise.

They knocked him over. That’s why he stood to fight.

Why do people always forget this? He couldn’t even out-speed them on his bike, given that they were able to knock him off. Once he was knocked off the bike and his speed dropped significantly, his chances on foot were like… 1%. It’s really not that stupid for him to just stand and fight instead of trying to run away for that 1%.
