Stranger things wrong character

Firstly I wasn't sure where to put this so if it needs moved feel free...(also as its the new chapter I am rewatching this from the very beginning like its my first time and to refresh my memory a little with few things)

Right as the title says, the new chapter for Stranger Things the devs have chosen 1 wrong character which is Steve, INSTEAD they should have put in Johnathan in Will's brother...

We already have 1 ass in the game who is the "hard man" which is David now we have a second Steve.

My reasoning for this is every time Steve is on screen he is nothing but a dumbass an a chicken ######### plus he is a little obsessive BUT Jonathan on other hand shows he cares and protects who he cares about he doesn't put on a show in front of others and his character works better with Nancey...


So why go with Steve or is it just cause he is the "popular" one an more of a money maker?

Yes I am aware people will none stop argue with me but try and answer the question first...

    The thing is, they chose both of them because they have actually fought the Demogorgon. And Jonathan most likely will not disappear for Season 4 of Stranger things.


    That's why Hopper is not a Survivor. He is coming back in season 4.


    Usually a survivor has to disappear in some way in order to make it into the entitys realm.

    Clog I'll agree he is a bit creepy an looks simular to Quinten but I still think he would be the better choice even is Steve is the poster child outside of the kids.

    Senpaii I didn't even think of bringing Hooper into the mix lol but I agree with your logic

    To be completely honest, i think Nancy shouldn't be there.

    All survivor in the entity realm are proven to be extremely altruistic and to care about others. This is true for all survivors but the first 4 , nea, ace, and feng (especially since we don't know a lot about them).

    I think there is no need to do a list with every reason.

    Well, in my opinion, Steve follow this rule since the "First fight" with the demogorgon.

    Nancy doesnt. I see her character as a really selfish one. Maybe is just me, but i dont she "deserve" the acces to the entity's realm.

    I havent seen the last season yet tho, i may change idea.

    From all the hype I've seen about Nancy I wasn't expecting that lol maybe your right maybe it should have been someone else possibly eleven?

    I wasn't meaning Steve to be the hard man that's why I said David I meant steve as in been an ass but as far as what I can see you think they choose Steve cause he's the money maker cause he's the popular choice outta the list?

    He's a fan favorite, a money maker for sure, and Quentin already looks like Johnathan. BHVR makes sure each character is different from the other for the sake of variety. John would get confused with Quentin 24/7. Steve, however, is noticeably different from everyone else.

    I can't deny Steve is noticeably different to everyone else lol

    He's got the best hair in the game and is the first mom survivor added. B^)

    "...Steve is on screen he is nothing but a dumbass an a chicken [BAD WORD]…"

    maybe dummy. but a chicken?

    He saved Nancy and Jonathan in Season One at the finale, with only a bat, when he was offered the chance to leave. That scene from season 2, where the kids are in the bus and demidogs are outside, he rushes out to fight them one on one with a melee weapon. remember in Season 3 where he and Robin made the sacrifice so that Dustin and Erica could leave through the vent in the Russian labratory. Sure, they didn't die, but they most likely thought they would have.

    Dummy, maybe. but no way am I allowing you to say he's a chicken.


    EDIT: "...plus he is a little obsessive..." you talked about Steve when saying this, when...

    Quentin 2.0 in season one, literally took naked photos of Nancy in season 1. Sure Steve might've wanted 6 (but replace the "I" with "E") with Nancy, but at least it was with permission, as the 6 wasn't rap with an "e" at the end. Quentin 2.0 just took the photos.

    1. Joyce Byers
    2. Jim Hopper
    3. Nancy Wheeler
    4. Jonathan Byers
    5. Karen Wheeler
    6. Steve Harrington
    7. Billy Hargrove
    8. Bob Newby
    9. Barb Holland
    10. Robin Buckley

    Those are the 9 feasible characters from the show to choose as playable.

    Hopper is a cop, and we already have a cop in the game so though I would love to have him, he doesn't bring as much diversity.

    Jonathan though feasible, is a creeper and he kind of lacks personality except for being a voyeur and a brother.

    Karen though she would bring diversity to the game seems like she wouldn't bring a fanbase.

    Billy is WAY too similar to David to be considered.

    Robin is awesome, but relatively new and wouldn't bring much of a fanbase with her. My favorite character btw.

    The 5 most feasible in my opinion would be:

    1. Joyce - Older woman, Mother, Fan favorite
    2. Nancy - Different from other girls, reporter
    3. Steve - Cooler then Dwight, nicer then David
    4. Bob - Older man, nerdy
    5. Barb - sweet, smart, different look from other girls

    Joyce and Bob were probably too expensive which leaves Nancy, Steve and Barb. And though Barb was a fan favorite, the other two have a longer run on the show so they have had more screen time and represent the brand better.

    This is all opinion so I know some won't agree. I would have personally chosen Joyce, Robin, Barb or Steve if I had the ability to pick myself

    The three that make the most sense to me outside of that would be Barb, Bob, Hopper or Billy as the four to pick two from.

    You mean have an opinion like everyone else has on here with literally everything the devs do lol I didn't say they couldn't choose him I just said in my opinion I think they made the wrong call

    @Maelstrom1313 it doesn't matter what you think they made a choice and that is that, who cares if they made a wrong call it is an interesting chapter but someone somewhere has to dislike something -rme-

  • Maelstrom1313
    Maelstrom1313 Member Posts: 230

    For me only interesting bit will be how they pull off the Demogorgon just for simple fact of how it looks, sounds and moves perhaps if they pull it off it might be enough to change my mind on whole chapter who knows

    No one cares about Jonathan, they would put all that work in for no one to use him. Waste of potential, I’m happy they put Steve in, maybe we will get Dead hard 2.0, WGLF 2.0 where doing gens or healing will get us points, or even No Mither 2.0 where we start in dying state and never bleed out but we have a 200% repair speed bonus with 100% quiet grunts, and crawl at speed of tenacity(50%) while also leaving no blood stains.

    I don't either. Steve is not a hardman or an asshat or anything of the sort. He is a kid lover. He dropped the asshat thing very early on back in Season 1. The real hardass is Billy.

    Jonathan is meh, he is like the worst guy in the show and pretty creepy to be honest.

    They actually should have gotten either Joyce or Hopper, though to be honest I'd rather they gave us the kids. I guess they don't want child models in the game.

  • AshleyWB
    AshleyWB Member Posts: 4,061

    I don't get the negativity towards Jonathan. He was supposed to be a creep in season 1 and from there he became a loyal and determined character who wanted to help in whatever way he could, this involving moving really quickly at his own will to attempt to aid that common goal.

    Good acting and a really good example of good character building.

    Dont wanna spoil anything for you, but is it possible that you have not seen the show? Or maybe just like 4-5 Episodes yet?

    If so, watch it and come back later :)

    Steve is a great choice. I just wish we would have gotten Joyce or Hopper, or even Robin instead of Nancy (She's so boring past season 1 😪).


    Edit: also #########, Jonathan is a creep, and Steve DOES care a lot. It seems to me that you didn't really watch the show tbh.

  • Mikeadatrix
    Mikeadatrix Member Posts: 890

    Steve is the best written character in the show with the only other character coming close is Eleven and maybe Joyce. I don't care if you think it's cliched and generic but the character development and the subtle changes in personality that he goes through really makes him incredible. Steve and Ash are genuinely the two best survivors added and I'm still reeling at the fact we even got them.

    Stranger Things character tier list

    A - Joyce

    B - Hopper, Steve, Nancy, Jonathan

    C - Murray Beamuent, Mr Clarke, Bob

    D - Barb

    Am I happy with what we got [EXTREMELY BAD WORD] yes of course I am. We do desperately need an Alexei skin for Dwight.

    I like Nancy's perks, namely fixated and the one where she cleanses a totem and can heal in a locker. But as a character she's a bit boring, and pretty self absorbed. At least to me. Not the worst character, but I think there are better choices.

    Steve's great as a character imo, lots of character development. Best hair, etc. I'm not upset about him being added at all. In fact I may make him my secondary survivor after Feng, if not secondary third! After my boy Ash.

    Personally my top pick would be Jim Hopper, he's my favorite character from the show. But it would feel weird with him running around like a scared survivor, instead of doing what he usually does, which is try to brute force his way through most situations. I could totally see him grabbing a broken piece of a pallet, hiding around the corner to bash the killer's face in though.

    Joyce and Robin are great as well, better than Nancy at least.

    My Tier list...

    A - Hopper, Steve

    B - Joyce, Robin

    C - Billy, Nancy, Johnathan

    D - Everyone Else

    Nea is she spent time evading the cops while she did graffiti. Feng Min I'm unsure of, but I think she was as well simply due to her perk Lithe.

    Steve is my favorite character in Stranger Things. He is by far the most interesting and well-written of them all.


    Nancy is pretty Meh to be honest, as is Jonathan. She was still kinda ok by season 2 but by season 3 both Nancy and Jonathan were just annoying and uninteresting characters who I wish got eaten by rats.

    Rachel would have been a much better choice.

    Im grateful they left Jonathan out, he's deeply uninteresting and genuinely creepy. Wouldn't mind Barb tho.

    I would have preferred to have Robin considering she was the best part of season 3 but considering they started during the production of season 3 I can understand why she's not in it.

    This may just be me but I really dislike the fact that we got Nancy.

    I would have preferred

    Barb

    Joyce

    Hopper

    Bob

    Even bloody Jonathan

    Just personally because I dislike Nancy's character with a burning passion.

    She was a terrible best friend in season 1 and in the grand scheme of things was borderline useless to the plot

    She was a terrible girlfriend in season 2

    and in season 3 you could have literally replace her character with a cardboard cut-out and lose nothing

    I think you're just fanboy/fangirling because you're excited to play him. I think he's kinda meh compared to many characters in ST. Pretty uninteresting and in terms of writing they made his story on as they went so it's nothing special.

    Nancy is fine, she's got her own style and curious attitude which I like. She's chasing her case to find evidence to report her findings to whoever needs them. Fun.

    I'm not complaining I just think that you're in denial. I hope you do enjoy Steve though. He seems to be liked by you people.

    Us more cultured folk will probably play nance though. 😄 I'm sorry I just feel like I'm stating the cold hard truth that Steve isn't as big of a character as a lot of you think. I'm hard to be convinced otherwise so let's leave it at that.
