23	* ActorInspiredHeroism: [[JerkJock Billy Hargrove]] from ''Series/StrangerThings'' was initially created to act as a replacement jerk for Steve, only much more violent and cruel. His role being the minor but more relatable human antagonist of the season. However, Dacre convinced the writers to explore what made Billy that way. This developed into giving Billy [[AbusiveParents a horrifically abusive father]] and [[DarkAndTroubledPast a tragic past of being taken away from his loving mother at a young age]]. Leading to Billy spending most of Season 3 [[spoiler:as the victim of [[EldritchAbomination the Mind Flayer]], gaining him some sympathy and even him [[DeathEqualsRedemption getting a genuinely heroic death of holding the thing back from killing El]]]].
