Schnapp Will's character spent the majority of Season 1 in an alternate universe known as the Upside Down. The focus of Season 1 revolves around Will's friends, played by Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin, as they search for him. Even though Schnapp didn't clock that much screen time, he is now one of the most important characters.
In Stranger Things Seasons 1 and 2, Schnapp's character joins his friends as they work together to defeat supernatural Upside Down monsters, evil government agents, and evil Russians. This trend appears to be continuing as we head into Stranger Things Season 4.
As the Season 1 finale drew to a close on the TikTok livestream, Schnapp watched Brown Eleven's character save her friends and defeat the monster known as the Demogorgon. However, when she sent the beast back to the Upside Down, it disappeared with her. When Eleven said her final goodbyes to Mike (Wolfhard,) Dustin (Matarazzo,) and Lucas (McLaughlin,) Schnapp got emotional.
The actor's eyes filled with tears before quietly saying, "Oh my God," as the scene unfolded in front of him. Of course, fans loved seeing Schnapp react so candidly to the moment.
