⚠️If you haven't seen Stranger Things 2 yet, turn back now! This post is full of spoilers.⚠️
Everyone talks about Eleven, Steve Harrington, or Hopper saving Hawkins, but nobody mentions the real superhero of the series: Bob Newby.
1. He created the Hawkins AV Club!
Mike, Dustin, Will, and Lucas's favorite place for hanging out and doing stuff that the other Hawkins students consider nerdy.
2. He loved games of skill and dexterity.
3. He hated scary movies, but he watched them anyways.
@SeanAstin #justiceforbob #bobnewbysuperhero Sir what you have been making us feel since the 80's is nothing short… https://t.co/J9ee1A7wtt
An act of valor which I salute, because scary movies are scary.
4. He looked after Joyce like nobody else could.
5. And let's not forget about the fan theory that Bob may have encountered Pennywise the clown as a child.
6. He loved Joyce's kids as if they were his own, even though they didn't completely accept him.
7. He worked at RadioShack, and was on the cutting edge of technology.
8. He loved Halloween!
9. Sure, he'd listen to The Clash or Joy Division sometimes, but he could never hide his fanaticism for Kenny Rogers.
10. He knew how to program!
11. And he was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
12. And if you need any more proof of his superhero credentials, there's the drawing Will did of him after his death.
13. He was so beloved that Dustin, Steve, Jonathan, Mad Max, Nancy, and even Billy made him a special goodbye video.
Remember. Bob Newby, Superhero.
I'm not crying, I have something in my eye.
He was even named person of the year by Time magazine...
Yet somehow didn't even make the poster!
Thanks for everything, Bob.
