Stranger Things Fans Are Still Not Over Bob's Devastating Mistake

Years after Bob met his end in "Stranger Things" Season 2, u/DaSkrambledEgg took to Reddit to discuss how, to this day, they're shocked by Bob knocking over the broom, leading to his death. U/Candypants24 agreed, listing the scene as one of the most stress-inducing moments of the series. U/ilovemarvel69 reminisced on watching Episode 8 for the first time, saying it left them screaming at Bob to run instead of looking at Joyce, and it still hurts to think about his death. U/LilyMarie90 replied, reflecting on Bob and Joyce's relationship, saying, "[Bob] was so in love, throughout the season always looked at [Joyce] like he couldn't believe she was really with him or like he felt like he didn't deserve her, and then he looked at her for a second too long in the end."

Many "Stranger Things" fans were quick to compliment the writers, expressing that, even on rewatches, a part of them still thinks that Bob could make it out of the lab alive. U/CougarWrtier74 said, "Every time I rewatch, I think he's gonna make it. Just like when you watch 'Titanic' and think they're gonna miss hitting the iceberg." U/LilyMarie90 returned to give her two cents on Bob's final moments, saying the writers had fans convinced that Bob was safe right before the Demodog jumped on him.

U/Curious-PsychCat-25 had the most genuine reaction, arriving to the party late and watching "Stranger Things" Season 2 for the first time years after everyone. They expressed their love for Bob and how his death left them completely heartbroken, just like everyone else.
