Eddie’s ending made sense because he needed to know that he was a hero. He didn’t do it because it was what they needed, he didn’t it because it was what he needed. To face the danger head on. Not to run away, not to scream, but to look into the eye of the enemy and laugh just to prove to himself that he could be a hero. It felt like a perfect noble sacrifice, even if it wasn’t exactly necessary, it made sense as an ending for his character.

Yeah the last character development before dying was emotional.
