The fact that many of these villains exhibit some character development makes the series even more intriguing.

Unfortunately, though, many viewers have misunderstood his character through the years.

These situationsdo not look good for Steve’s reputation.

The worst part is that Steve barely does anything about this until the end of the season.

He does feature some character development.

Therefore, theStranger Thingsseason one version of Steve is a bad guy.

Inspired by 80s pop-culture and elements of Stephen King’s works, Stranger Things is a supernatural action-drama TV series set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.When a young boy goes missing, his group of friends stumbles upon a young girl with telekinetic powers who recently escaped from a mysterious facility. They soon realize that she may be their only chance at stopping an impending doom that threatens to engulf Hawkins whole.

His actions arenot entirely justifiable, but they have good reasoning behind them.

Steve is merely the immature version of himself in the first season ofStranger Things.

Perhaps viewers were not initially meant to root for him because of his immaturity.

After all,he is themost normal character inStranger Thingsat first.

He would be the show’s normal character.

He never would have shown up for his actions and accidentally got wound up into dealing with the Demogorgons.

Steve’s character growth is needed throughout the whole plot.

Without Steve, we would not have Robin (Maya Hawke).

Yet, she is the primary reason the characters find out about the Russian soldiers.

The show onlypromises “good things” for Steve.

In the beginning, he was just the immature teenager we all once were.

Now, he is one of the reasons the series has gone in the direction that it has.
