Overlook Eddie, this ‘Stranger Issues 4’ character was the true MVP

This submit accommodates spoilers for Stranger Issues 4, so look away now for those who’re not but updated.

OK, positive, Eddie was an important character. He was. However the man is useless, and it is time all of us moved on and began focussing on somebody who’s thus far been tragically ignored amid the chaos of Stranger Issues 4.

I am speaking, in fact, about Agent Harmon (Ira Amyx), pictured right here trying severe and sporting what can solely be described as an enviable moustache:

I do know what you are pondering: Who’s Agent Harmon once more?

Nicely, the lengthy reply is he was one of many brokers launched in Season 4, episode three and tasked with the safety of Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Will (Noah Schnapp), and Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) on the home in California whereas El (Millie Bobby-Brown) tried to regain her powers.

The brief, and extra essential reply, is that he actually saved the world.

OK, let’s recap. A person of few phrases, Agent Harmon’s contribution to the plot initially appeared to be sitting on the coach and watching golf alongside along with his companion, Agent Wallace (Kendrick Cross). It appeared like he was going to be an impediment to the boys’ escape makes an attempt, possibly some deadpan comedic worth at finest.

Then, halfway by way of episode 4, the home was attacked by Lt. Col. Sullivan’s (Sherman Augustus’) males, with Agent Wallace instantly being shot when he answered the entrance door.

And Agent Harmon all of a sudden became James Bond.

Significantly, that is no exaggeration. He became James Bond. Armed with only a tiny pistol, Agent Harmon single-handedly took on a complete military squadron, most of whom had been armed with machine weapons and none of whom had been any match by any means for his elite agent abilities.

Look, this is a shot of him in motion:

We counted, and Agent Harmon takes down at the least 4 troopers in that scene, and that is solely those we truly see him dispatch on digital camera.

“I shoot. You run,” he mutters in the direction of the top of the sequence, like the whole badass he’s, earlier than lastly getting hit with a stray bullet because the boys flee the home in the direction of Argyle’s (Eduardo Franco’s) ready pizza van.

As superior as that scene undoubtedly is, although, it is what comes subsequent that basically cements his place within the present’s historical past books.

At first of episode 5, we see a pale-faced Harmon bleeding out at the back of the pizza van. He does not have lengthy left. However is a person like Agent Harmon going to exit with out at the least saving the whole world first?

You’d higher imagine he is not.

Utilizing the final of his power, Harmon produces a pen from his pocket and tells the boys to name “NINA”.

Later, as they bury Harmon within the desert, they discover a telephone quantity hid inside.

That telephone quantity, which the boys rapidly realise calls a pc, is what leads them to the desert location the place Eleven is being saved, permitting them to show up within the nick of time and rescue her from Sullivan’s males, which in flip permits her to enter that ice bathtub, assist Max (Sadie Sink), and save each Hawkins and the world from Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower).

All thanks, briefly, to Agent Harmon.

Argyle most likely says it finest after they’ve buried the person, holding a pizza field that he plans to show right into a makeshift gravestone:

“I will simply write: ‘Right here lies unknown hero agent man. Saved Argyle, Jonathan, Will and Mike from sure dying.”

Always remember.
