How is Eddie Munson memorialized?
In the finale of Stranger Things Season 5, there's a time jump of 18 months that leads the main characters to all graduate from high school. It's revealed that Dustin is his class's Valedictorian, and during his moment on stage, recollecting the past six years, he decides to give Principal Higgins exactly what Eddie wanted.
As "Trooper" from Iron Maiden plays, Dustin rips off his graduation robe to reveal a modified version of the Hellfire shirt that says, "Hellfire Lives." Principal Higgins tries to rip away the microphone as Dustin yells, "screw conformity," and being normal.
The line that caught fans' interest was Dustin yelling, "This is our year!" He also rips his diploma from Principal Higgins's hands and flips him the bird. Die-hard fans would remember this is exactly how Munson wanted to go out at his graduation.
When Eddie is introduced in Season 4, Episode 1, he recounts how '86 is going to be his year after barely scraping by with his grades to graduate.
"I'm gonna walk that stage next month, I'm gonna look Principal Higgins dead in the eye, I'm gonna flip him the bird, I'm gonna snatch that diploma, and I'm gonna run like hell outta here," he said in the cafeteria scene.
Season 5 also added an extra Easter Egg with Dustin giving Steve Eddie's modified garbage lid shield and weapon for their final fight against Vecna. Other fans also caught on to another Easter Egg when Steve tells Nancy, Jonathan, and Robin in the finale that he has his eye on a house in Forest Hills. Eddie just so happened to live in the Forest Hills Trailer Park.
