Significance of Steve’s Character Arc
In a series filled with various monstrous threats, this news is a bright spot for Hawkins fans. Steve's character arc is one the show couldn’t afford to mishandle. When he first appeared in Season 1, with his perfect hair and ’80s jock confidence, he seemed destined to be a typical teen antagonist. Initially, Steve was cocky, shallow, and fit the popular-boy stereotype.
But as the seasons progressed, Steve evolved into a surprisingly beloved and complex character.
“He was cocky, a bit shallow, and stranded somewhere between popular-boy tropes and his beloved Farrah Fawcett hairspray.”
This progression has made him one of the most cherished characters in the series.
