As I said, predictable. There's this trend of introducing a new, likeable character in a season just to kill them off in the same season so we're all expecting it. Bob, Alexei, and now Eddie. What annoyed me was that Steve, like Eddie, got attacked by the bats and also had chunks of flesh ripped from him, was pretty badly injured and then... Nothing. He doesn't take a trip to any doctor, it doesn't look like he even had time for a wash. All he got in terms of treatment was Nancy ripping of some of her clothes as a makeshift bandage and that's it, and yet he's perfectly fine. I love Steve, but the plot armour he has because he's a fan favourite character annoyed me. Same goes for Max. She should have died (technically she did but I mean permanently). She's my favourite of the group and I don't want her to die, but she should have. Then earlier when Eleven escaped from the military in a friggin' pizza van the general just stands there watching and he's never seen chasing after her again. Dr Owens was captured and we don't find out what happens to him, he just disappears. The show doesn't explain how the hell Dr Brenner survived the demagorgan attack in season 1 with barely a scar. He's there, he's an asshole, then when he dies some big orchestral music plays like we're supposed to feel sorry for him because he 'loved' Eleven (no, he was an abusive asshole who kidnapped and experimented on loads of kids, screw him). Vecna should be the most dangerous villain so far, and yet with his big plan of killing everyone and changing the world, he doesn't seem that threatening to anyone but Max (and hell she pretty easily escaped him the first time). The Duffers are playing it way too safe, they should start killing off some of the main cast.
