Eddie Munson, Stranger Things
The surprise star of Stranger Things’ much improved fourth season broke the ’80s nerd stereotype with Joseph Quinn’s Eddie Munson, a cool-as-hell, metal-loving, Dungeons & Dragons-playing badass. And while the dumb-dumb adults of Hawkins assumed Eddie was a satanist murdering teens because of his dual interests, he saved them all by distracting the Upside Down’s demobats to allow Nancy, Steve, and Robin to sneak into the Creel House and attack Vecna. And most importantly, he died saving the town in the coolest way possible: while performing a blistering guitar solo.
