  • «Everything that people tell you is important, everything that people say you should care about is all just.... bullshit.»
    So, anyone here waiting for another ansgty video about Steve? I've been wanting to make this one since season three came out, there were some great quotes about popularity this season and about how much it used to mean to Steve. And I thought it was perfect for a short video, to focus on how he used to think being popular was the same thing as being loved, how he thought he had everything and how fast he lost all that.
    That's what I choose to focus on for this video, on his change of heart about what's important in life and how is okay to mess up cause it helps you to move forward and evolve.
    ... The process for making this video was a huge mess, four days ago I even tried to change the song and redo the whole thing. Thank you Anja for helping me see this was the right one cause that was key to finishing the video.
    I also want to thank all of you for all the support I got on my first Steve video, it got me by surprise and you all made me feel so proud of that video, you made me feel better about it and gave me more confidence. I truly appreciate it, thank you so much for taking time to watch my videos and comment on them, it means the world to me :')

    Can I just say... I love how well this captures an aspect of Steve's character people seem to gloss over a lot: He was really obviously in love with Nancy. He may have started off as a douchebag, but even in the beginning it's so clear how charmed he is with Nancy- not just for being beautiful, but also how she's unapologetically smart and assertive. And he continues to be openly affectionate and fond of her right until the end.
    Like, these two were together for a year! He was very clearly committed and finding out that Nancy didn't actually return his feelings, that she might have been pining for Jonathan the entire time must have been really crushing.

      Well, but Steve was just that in the series. He had his set backs but he didn't get depressed by them, if clearly frustrated. He was quite creative actually, finding new space for himself to be meaningful in (one that included more of what is the right thing to do, as well :P). He still is failing in the girlfriend department though heh.

    i came back to this video because of the season 4 coming out and just- m a n. you did such an amazing job showing the side of steve's character a lot of people forget about.
    people tend to portray steve as the funny guy, the clumsy guy, the guy who accidentally became a mother of a bunch of kids and then somehow helped everyone to save the world.
    in reality he's just- he wants to be loved. he wants to find his place in the world, a person who would accept him. he wants to mean something to someone.
    the party scene with nancy calling steve and everything that's happened between them bullshit is kinda heartbreaking. even though at first steve comes off as a typical popular-rich-kid who's full of himself, it is clearly shown that it wasn't bullshit for him at all, that it hurt him deeply to realize that the person he'd been in relationship with for a year didn't return his feelings.
    and you managed to show exactly that. steve broken and hurt, steve who doesn't really think anything of himself because people like him but don't really love him. it's freaking amazing, thank you so much for making it

    Oh man thank you! You are the only person who edits Steve in this prospective. Your other video of Steve with the line “no parents, big house” is my favourite Steve video. I think people often look at Steve as this amazing character development and the funny mom character, but overlook how much pain he has endured. That line “no parents, big house” has always stuck with me. Also I watched this review of season three and the critic said “more people need to be concerned about Steve. I think he is hurting”. He is, but none sees it. Thanks for continuing to portray Steve in this broken and pained light because it isn’t shown enough!!!!

    You portrayed this side of Steve so well. I feel like a lot of people watch stranger things, and see the funny side of steve but tbh like i just know there is that sad part of him. Like him mentioning his asshole dad, and his well respected mom. Idk i feel like there is more behind what he says, family life or not. He’s the classic comic relief character, and those characters are always messed up mentally somehow.

    I actually liked this video before I started watching- I knew it'd be phenomenal (I remember and have rewatched No parents, big house multiple times!), and it didn't disappoint!
    The thing I love about how you edit Steve, and it's on full display here, is that you get what a nuanced and kind of depressing character he is. I don't mean depressing to watch, but Steve is a great example of a "being good sucks" kind of character; he doesn't rewarded by doing the right thing, and in fact, his life seems to get worse and worse as he choses to better himself. He goes from a not too nice person but with the admiration and envy of his peers, many girls wanting to be with him, and few worries/no injuries to progressively nicer and more selfless- to the point where he's arguably one of the most selfless characters on the show, always sacrificing himself for others, protecting people to his own detriment without any reward/any relationship to those under his protection- but also consistently beat up (even tortured), kinda picked on in season 2, laughed at in season 3 when he tries to hit on girls, heart broken by the two girls he was genuinely interested in, describing himself as "having no future".
    Like that's inherently sad. It's not bad (his life/friendships were shallower/hollower before he changed, and being a better person is never a waste) but he is just a character that never seems to "win", if that makes sense. He also becomes more and more self-aware, recognizing the shallowness of popularity and how insensitive and ignorant he was.
    Which means that Steve is both a hilarious character who says things that imply a lack of deep thinking and a certain level of immaturity but also an incredibly deep character who possesses great emotional maturity, empathy, and self-awareness. He's both a riot that doesn't seem to take anything seriously/has no plan for life and borderline introspective, depressed about his prospects and uncertain about his future.
    And I don't necessarily think he's saying things that seem immature/dumb because he's putting on a facade (but definitely sometimes when he was hitting on the girls, there seem to be aspects of putting up a front) but he is all those things, which mean he's complicated. I love how you capture Steve's character so well, and all the aspects about him that are normally overlooked. The audience feels for him not because he's funny or a badass but because he's very human- and you managed to capture that in less than 2 minutes.
    The music was a great choice, haunting almost. When the beat changes at 1:07 and then 1:33, the way you edited the next parts with the changes was so amazing. This is so beautiful, two minutes flew by. You're an incredibly talented editor, I hope you know that. I normally am not a huge fan of instrumental songs with dialogue videos, but that's because they normally feel patched together. You're telling a cohesive and compelling story here. It's a character study, first and foremost.
    Choosing "we like Steve, but we don't love Steve"- and complementing that with quotes like "he's actually a nice guy" "does that mean I have to like him?" was brilliant. I wouldn't have thought of those lines for a video like this. I love that you ended on "but I guess you got to mess up to figure things out" because that's a great summation of Steve's character.
    And omg I'm obsessed with how you have the parallel moments at 1:07 of Steve pulling back from Nancy and then him walking away from Nancy.
    Honestly- what sorcery is this that you can capture so many emotions, so much pain, tell such a great story, and capture the nuances of Steve's 3 season arc IN TWO MINUTES?
    It's so obvious how much thought went into this, and it's incredibly beautiful and poignant. Thank you for sharing!

    man, while I want him to suffer less and be happy, I just feel so grateful he exists and despite being such a good person, he still hasn't found real happiness. Because it's reality and it makes it so easy to relate to him.
    Like when you're funny, you entertain people, people flock to you because youre popular, you care about your looks but you're still a good person... yet they like you but they don't love you.

    We all know how Steve feels. He's broken and sad inside but never shows it. He's always loving,caring and try to behave as if he's alright. His closest friends leave him and went to college. The girl he loved didn't love her back and guess what? he accepted her decision. He had an affection with Robin but still heartbroken again. He protected the kids even nobody told him to do so. He's a real Hero. He is the heart and soul of stranger things. Probably he would sacrifice himself as it seems in this season for Nancy and kids. He's my favourite as we all have some part of Steve in ourselves that's why we love him deep down
