number 10 the sinclair's win big
in season 4 lucas sinclair just wants to
be cool by getting good with these guys
i'll be in the popular crowd and then
you guys will be too has it ever
occurred to you that we don't want to be
popular so you want to be stuck with the
nerds and freaks for three more years we
are nerds and freaks he's on the
basketball team sporting a slick new do
and sits with his teammates at lunch
that means he's neglecting mike dustin
and dungeons and dragons of course the
championship game coincides with the
club's cult of vecna campaign meaning
mike and dustin need a replacement
that's where erica comes in my name is
lady applejack and i'm a chaotic good
half elf rogue level 14. and i will
sneak behind any monster you throw my
way and stab them in the back with my
poison so kukri the younger sinclair
proves herself more than worthy of being
part of the hellfire club seeing as
she's the one who rolls the winning die
that defeats vecna erica's triumph is
intercut with scenes of her big bro
shooting the shot that wins the
championship
[Music]
[Applause]
we even get a rare moment of erica being
a supportive sibling towards the end of
the season well even though you're a
bench riding loser you're still my
brother
just the bets
number nine eleven's roller rink revenge
stranger things has had its fair share
of jerks over the seasons oh my god
i am so sorry
i hope mr fitly's okay
when eleven and the buyers family move
to lenora hills california she
encounters a posse of pastel wearing
cool kids that relentlessly torment her
led by the especially horrible angela
brought out into the center of the rink
surrounded by cackling teens and doused
in milkshake elle is thoroughly
humiliated in front of everyone at
wrinkle mania including mike
she does try to take the high road and
demand an apology but when she's
dismissed elle has her breaking point
and gives us one of the most satisfying
moments of the season
a roller skate to the face is pretty
brutal but just imagine what could have
happened if l actually had her powers at
the time
number eight goodbye papa i need you to
understand
[Music]
please tell me you understand since
season one dr martin brenner has been
one of the show's biggest villains
though he certainly doesn't see himself
that way after he was attacked by a
demogorgon in the season 1 finale
everyone thought he was dead because who
could survive that but papa makes a
surprising return this season and goes
right back to manipulating 11 into
undergoing more experiments and training
let us work together again
you and i
daughter
and papa 11 stands up to him and tries
to break away from his control now i
know the truth
it is not me
it is you
you
are the monster
but when the underground lab is overrun
by the military it's brenner who helps
her escape getting fatally wounded in
the process after taking down a
helicopter eleven says a tearful goodbye
to papa but she doesn't give him the
final words he begs her to say
[Music]
number 7. vacna's kills
heavily inspired by horror classics like
a nightmare on elm street and hellraiser
the duffer brothers introduced a new
terrifying photohawkins the first time
we see him take a life it's popular
cheerleader chrissy cunningham we learn
vechna's mo of progressively invading
the minds of his victims and distorting
reality
you're going to look
absolutely beautiful
he picks people suffering from repressed
trauma and guilt preying on their
deepest fears
chrissy's shockingly violent death
immediately let us know that season four
is much darker than previous seasons
next is fred benson nancy's co-worker at
the newspaper vacna uses fred's guilt
over a fatal car accident to
telepathically torture him before
killing him what do you want
i want you
to join me
we don't see much of patrick mckinney's
experience but his bone-breaking death
is just as horrific as the others
number six the tragedy of victor creel
before we even meet victor creel we've
already heard that he's a psychopath who
killed his family but as nancy and robin
discover victor is actually innocent
we're here because
we believe you
and because
we need your help when they go to visit
him at penhurst mental hospital he's a
broken man haunted by the traumatic
experience he and his family endured in
what they thought was their dream home
but i tell you
wow this is amazing
it looks like a fairy tale
a dream he tells them the tragic story
of what really happened and the demonic
presence he sensed in the house robert
englund is most known for his villainous
roles primarily the iconic freddy
krueger of the a nightmare on elm street
franchise but the actor made victor
creel one of the most sympathetic
characters on the show dude
i
survive
no i assure you
i am still very much in hell
number five everyone's a hero we'll take
care of that
don't try to be cute or be a hero or
something okay you guys are just decoys
don't worry you can be the hero steve
absolutely i mean
look at us
we are not heroes the season four finale
was jam-packed with scene after scene of
epic fights and emotional exchanges
clocking in at almost two and a half
hours once everyone's plans are underway
we get a series of over-the-top moments
11 piggybacks to reach max and faces off
with vechna if you touch her again
i will kill you
again
is that what you did
did you kill me lucas fights a deranged
gun-wielding jason back in russia hopper
takes out a demogorgon with a sword and
then murray swoops in with a
flamethrower steve robin and nancy torch
vechna before nancy goes into full sarah
connor mode and starts shooting him
eddie takes on the demo bats
some are more victorious than others and
by the end plenty of tears are shed
[Music]
number four most metal ever what do you
say henderson
are you ready for the most metal concert
in the history of the
world is that a rhetorical question
we've gotten glimpses of eddie munson
playing guitar in the upside down since
the season's first teaser and in the
massive season finale we finally got to
see our favorite metalhead in all his
glory
[Music]
atop the upside-down version of his
trailer eddie absolutely shreds
metallica's master of puppets a perfect
song for this chaotic lightning-filled
sequence
what makes this moment even better is
that his pal dustin is there to cheer
him on of course this doesn't quite ease
his devastating demise later in the
finale eddie may have bit the dust but
at least the guitar hero went out
rocking
number three will opens up
many fans have been disappointed in
will's story arc considering he's been
sidelined for the majority of the season
the show hasn't been too subtle about
will's struggle with his sexuality and
his implied feelings for mike have been
hinted at for a while can i
show you something but in the
penultimate episode of season four will
finally communicates his feelings to
mike however he says that it's 11 who
feels this way when you're
different
sometimes
you feel like a mistake
but
you make her feel like she's not a
mistake at all like she's better for
being different
and that gives her the courage to fight
on for anyone who's ever felt like an
outcast it's a painfully relatable
moment and while no one else picks up on
will's emotions jonathan continues to be
an amazing big brother making sure will
knows that he's loved and not alone
because you're my brother
and i love you
there is nothing in this world okay
absolutely nothing that will ever change
that noah schnapp and charlie heaton
deliver phenomenal performances in these
heart-wrenching scenes that left viewers
sobbing
number two vecna's origin reveal
unlike the mind flare and various demo
creatures season four brought us a
villain who loves a monologue i could
not close off my mind and join in the
madness i could not
pretend
and i realized
i didn't have to in chapter seven we see
eleven's repressed memory of the
friendly orderly revealing his true
identity as henry creel
one i could make my own rules i could
restore
balance to a broken world
a predator
but for good the sequence goes back and
forth between their chat in the rainbow
room and nancy's tour of the evolution
of vecna even if you guessed the twist
you cannot deny that this was one hell
of an origin story in part two vecna
fills in some blanks when he tells elle
how her banishment led to his discovery
of an unknown realm and the creation of
the mind flare i saw so many things
in one day
i found the most extraordinary thing of
all
but it's this initial reveal that gave
us chills thanks in large part to the
incredible jamie campbell bower
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions my
superhero mike professes his love to l i
love you on your good days
i love you on your bad days i love you
with your powers i love you without your
powers
i love you for exactly who you are
you're my superhero four chimes for
hawkins the scary but oddly addictive
sound of doom
four times
max
11 and hopper reunite one of the most
emotional reunions of the season
i got the door open three inches
i never stopped believing
i know it's okay
it's okay
jason messes with the wrong sinclair
erica is savage it's just the facts if
and when you do find lucas
please tell him i've been covering for
his ass for two days now each day of
covering costs 10 bucks with a dpr
that's the daily percentage rate of 7.9
percent another week of this and he's
buying me a goddamn nintendo with duck
hunt will senses vecna because will
byers just can't catch a break

how he thinks

ever
not until he's taken everything

number one running up that hill max
escapes vecna
there's no question that the most talked
about stranger things moment since part
one landed on netflix is max mayfield's
first brush with vechna
at her stepbrother's grave vecna puts
max into a trance keying into her grief
and self-blame and nearly claiming her
as his next victim what saves her is
lucas dustin and steve playing kate
bush's running up that hill creating an
opening for her to escape
[Music]
despite her immense feelings of guilt
max fights her hardest to survive
it's an intense scene that resonates
with people for different reasons made
even more powerful by sadie sings
amazing performance and the emotional
weight of the iconic track this moment
alone skyrocketed the song to newfound
popularity ushering in a kate bush
