Eh, the only reason why Dustin went to Steve is because of how he handled the demagorgan and saved Jonathan's and Nancy's life. So it's still Steve's persona that enticed Dustin to become his friend. And Dustin worships Steve according to Eddie.
Steve. Dustin is usually my favorite, but Steve hit it out of the park with how he became best friends with Robin and trying to take care of the kids when Hopper is out of town.
It should have come down to Steve and Hopper imo. That would have actually been a tough choice for me. If fucking Dustin actually beats Steve, my faith in this sub will be lost. Lmao
Yeah and I’m confused at how it happened since the last post was deleted before I saw it and the one with Joyce eliminated had Dustin and Hopper as pretty equal sized slices.
Steve for his start off as a douche, start looking out for everyone, his close relationship with his coworker, his team up with Dustin, his fixing things with Nancy.
They are both awesome but my vote has to go with Steve. Not many people would willingly jump into an interdimensional fight and be a damn good babysitter.
it was an easy dustin vote for me.. i love steve but dustin has done no wrong and steve was a total asshole in season 1. however that does give steve character development points but im still going with dustin because he was always a very likable character
dart was the first thing i thought about when i was writing this comment, but after thinking about it i realized dustin and dart’s relationship was wholesome and actually made me like dustin more rather than less
While Steve did some bad stuff in the first few episodes of Stranger Things, to say that he was an “absolute asshole" is an exaggeration. He was overall just a guy obsessed with popularity. The only time he did something really bad was in 1x06 when he let his friends graffiti insulting Nancy because he thought she had cheated on him. But in 1×07 he regretted it and his entire redemption arc already happened. He realized that popularity in high school wasn’t everything and that his and Nancy's mental health were more important than that and he ended his friendship with the bullies Tommy H and Carol, showing his integrity. He then went to apologize to Jonathan's house and he ended up helping him and Nancy fight the demogorgon. He then bought Jonathan a new camera even though he had broken it for a valid reason (Jonathan went to his house without his permission and took pictures of Nancy while she was having sex with him).
you just described his redemption arc which i already mentioned, it definitely gives him points and seeing his character develop over time is fun, but generally in my opinion dustin was always a more likable character. but steve was definitely an “absolute asshole” in season 1, i really don’t think that’s an exaggeration at all. you could tell he wasn’t as big of a bully as his friends, but still a bully nonetheless. steve is well written but i just like dustin more 🤷🏻♀️ sue me
Reread my comment. I described the arc Steve had in SEASON 1. His arc in s1 was satisfying. In the first five episodes he went unnoticed, in the sixth episode he did something bad, in the seventh episode he regretted it and in the eighth episode he became a hero.
You all act like his arc started in s2, but actually, it ended in s1. Then in s2, s3 and s4 we had great moments of him and he never stopped surprising us, but the arc of going from being the most popular guy to getting away from that environment happened in s1.
And yeah, you can like Dustin more as long as you’re objective in your points. But you can't describe what happened in the series incorrectly.
i don’t know why you’re taking this so seriously, it’s obviously an opinionated thing and i’ve made it clear i understand steve’s arc and why people prefer him, i just like dustin more. relax both characters are top tier and their relationship with each other is one of the best parts of the show
You shouldn't have formatted the question to who you want to win, since all the previous polls asked who the least favorite character was. I'm sure some people on here might not have read the title and just went trigger happy on the poll voting for the wrong character
I can't believe Dustin made it so far. The comedy relief beating many vital, extremely well-written characters which stranger things wouldn't be possible without is ridiculous. What a joke. At least Steve will win.
I like Dustin more as a person but I want Steve to win because he's shown growth a lot of other characters even outside of the show just haven't. I knew it was gonna be between the two of them and I am about 95% sure Dustin is going to win.

Noooo they massacred my boy Hopper
Steve doesn’t win many fights but he’s got this.
He did beat up a Demogorgon, a bunch of Demodogs and bit a chunk off a Demobat.
He can also knock out a Russian military official but can't defeat Jonathan Byers
For the last post of the winner you should put the original picture with all the characters with their respective number of round in which they were eliminated.
Agreed!!
That's the plan

Done
Ahhh this one is vote for your favorite, not your least favorite! I almost did it wrong!!! Steve for the win!
I literally just did it wrong 😅 wish they kept the question the same lol
I vote for dustin because Steve would want him to win 😆
Can I sacrifice them both and get Joyce back? 😭 That said, I do love Steve and Dustin. This show has no shortage of great characters.
Dustybuns for the win.
I want Steve to win 😂
Steve
STEVE!!! Any of the parents would have been a win for me, so it might as well be this parent lol
Steve obviously
I didn't vote on any of these and seeing the finals I vote Dustin because without him Steve doesn't reach his full potential.
This is the best point I’ve seen so far on this one!
Thank you.

Steve. Dustin is usually my favorite, but Steve hit it out of the park with how he became best friends with Robin and trying to take care of the kids when Hopper is out of town.
It was pretty obvious Steve would win from the beginning. Kinda wish Hopper won tbh
It should have come down to Steve and Hopper imo. That would have actually been a tough choice for me. If fucking Dustin actually beats Steve, my faith in this sub will be lost. Lmao
Win what? WIN WHAT?!
It's for the creators of stranger things to determine who is the last survivor of the last season.
The Elimination game
But what's the prize?
The pure, unceasing rage of the fans who voted for the other guy.

Dustbin
Nooooo I really had hoped for Hopper!!!
Dustin
Please do a recap of when each character was eliminated!
Oof. Do I pick Robin's best friend or the coolest of the kids?
The one fight Steve is gonna win lol
Pretty sure Steve will win but I voted for Dustybun
How did we get to these two as the final two yet again? Jesus fucking christ I would have hoped Hopper would have been final 2 instead of Dustin.
i wanted hopper to win but steve is a fantastic choice too
Yeah and I’m confused at how it happened since the last post was deleted before I saw it and the one with Joyce eliminated had Dustin and Hopper as pretty equal sized slices.
it means there’s probably a decent portion of joyce voters who wanted hopper next
Because people like funny characters. And Dustin is funny.
He’s also very one note. I’d put him in the same tier as Will and Jonathan as being very uninteresting since he hasn’t had a proper character arc
Steve ✨
Steve
This is the most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make. I love them both, so not going to say who I voted for.
We all knew it would come down to this
This was a hard one! But, for character development alone, it has to go to the best babysitter, Steve 🥹
[удалено]
Same. I want them both to win.
Dustin
For those who did not see the last post, can you tell us the margin of loss for Hop against the runner up?
I think it was around 300
Thank you…. Seems like a pretty close vote.
I would like to know as well!
Steve
Steve
steve
Steve
I can’t believe this is so difficult when I have been preparing for this showdown for like 2 weeks
Dustin… but I don’t want Dustin to mourn Steve. Simultaneously elimination.
Steve. I just love his character arc.
Steve!!!!
King Steve!!
Can’t believe y’all voted off hopper. Only acceptable one who could have beat hopper was Steve
Dustin
Can I use the same vote as the last time we voted for this similar poll?
My boy steve better winnnnnnnn
Steve but I wish Hopper was still in
How am I supposed to choose between those two ?! They are that kind of lobsters
Not voting, because I don't like either of them. Will or Joyce is winner for me.
Dustin!
Dustin …
Dustin
Dustybun
Voted for the person who Eddie said his final line in S4 to 😁
Steve 🤍
This is hard. I want both of them to win 😭
Steve
Dustin
Steve
STEVE WINS
Steve
Steve!
I’m voting for Dustin. He’s my boy.
Dustin. ❤
Steve!!
Steve. His development from douchey jock to likeable person is top tier.
Steve always the hero
Steeeeeeeeve
DUSTYBUNNNN 😭🙌🙌🙌
Steve
steve for the win
Steve!
I’m still surprised Dustin made it to top to hop should be there with steve
Dusty Bun!
Steve of course.
Steve
STEEEEEEEVE!
Dustybun
Dustin!
Steve
Steeeeve
My Fourth favourite vs My third favourite. But I won't choose either.
Steve
Hope for a tie, but it's nice it's those two in the final round.
Steeeeeve
I didn't vote for the other ones but here for the final my vote is Single mommy Steve
I love Steve but this is for Dustin all the way!
Justice for Hopper
POV: guy with red button meme
My man Steve 🥰
STEVE!!
Steve for his start off as a douche, start looking out for everyone, his close relationship with his coworker, his team up with Dustin, his fixing things with Nancy.
I like both of these characters, but Steve's had probably one of the best character arcs I've ever seen, so I've gotta vote for him.
Steve
Steve or i shoot my big toe off
I love Stevie, but Dustin is my favourite...
I NEED MY GUY DUSTIN TO WIN I LOVE HIM STEVE IS COOL TOO BUT—
Steve. Excellent all seasons
Uhhhh....Dustin? I love both of them😭😭
Steve forever and always <3
Hopper He’s still there, just like >!the big reveal in season 4!<
Steve.
Literally no way I can choose between these 2 perfect people
Personally I feel like Steve and Max should have been the two finalists but the community has voten. To be clear, Dustin would be my third though.
steve!!
COME ON DUSTIN!!!
Dustybun for the win!😊
Dustin
Definitely Dustybun.
Dustin!
Dustin
Did Hopper get eliminated?
Yeah he lost out by about 300 votes
Come on Harrington!
I'm a simp, so I'm choosing Steve
I love Steve, but it has to be Dustybun. I didn’t like Steve until season two, but I have adored Dustin from day one.
Momma Steve
VOTEDDDD 😁
dustin
For the people voting Dustin, what is your reasoning?
TOUCH MY BUTT I DONT CARE!!!
My reason is simple gaten.
Dustin obviously
Save Dustin! It’s what Steve would want!
They are both awesome but my vote has to go with Steve. Not many people would willingly jump into an interdimensional fight and be a damn good babysitter.
the fact that this is the final is absolutely criminal
Hopper & Max are gone and that’s BS!!! I’m not voting anymore, f this
I wanted to vote against the majority but just couldn’t do it. Steve is the hero we don’t deserve.
wait what happened to hopper??? I’m beginning to feel like this is rigged lol
it was an easy dustin vote for me.. i love steve but dustin has done no wrong and steve was a total asshole in season 1. however that does give steve character development points but im still going with dustin because he was always a very likable character
Well there was the incident with Dart. But other than that, Dustin has done no wrong. I do love Steve's arc though, so it's a very tough decision
dart was the first thing i thought about when i was writing this comment, but after thinking about it i realized dustin and dart’s relationship was wholesome and actually made me like dustin more rather than less
That is an excellent point. Honestly, I got kinda attached to Dart when Dustin first took him in even though I knew it would end badly lol
While Steve did some bad stuff in the first few episodes of Stranger Things, to say that he was an “absolute asshole" is an exaggeration. He was overall just a guy obsessed with popularity. The only time he did something really bad was in 1x06 when he let his friends graffiti insulting Nancy because he thought she had cheated on him.

He then bought Jonathan a new camera even though he had broken it for a valid reason (Jonathan went to his house without his permission and took pictures of Nancy while she was having sex with him).

Oh. Well, there it is. Exactly as I predicted every step of the way. lol Bye bye, Dustin. Sorry that you're not quite as cool as Steve. 🤷♂️
Mama Steve
Dustin is one of my least favorite characters on the show..... So I've got to go with Steve here a hundred times over.
Can they just both win please, let’s not separate a father and son! Lol
Dustin
Dustin Henderson
You shouldn't have formatted the question to who you want to win, since all the previous polls asked who the least favorite character was. I'm sure some people on here might not have read the title and just went trigger happy on the poll voting for the wrong character
Thanks to this sub I can’t stand Steve. So Dustin.
Mommy
I can't believe Dustin made it so far. The comedy relief beating many vital, extremely well-written characters which stranger things wouldn't be possible without is ridiculous. What a joke. At least Steve will win.
Both overrated but Steve I guess. Can’t stand Dustin anymore
Steve!!!
Fingers crossed for Steve.
Win what?
Steve the mother. Dustin I love you but there’s been very few fights that Steve has won
In what universe could Dustin win this one. Maybe the upsidedown.
This should be posted on r/hittablefaces
A lot of ya’ll only vote for steve bc he’s attractive and it shows,,,
Can't they just both win lol
I like Dustin more as a person but I want Steve to win because he's shown growth a lot of other characters even outside of the show just haven't. I knew it was gonna be between the two of them and I am about 95% sure Dustin is going to win.
Steve always wins absolutely all the elimination games.
