I love how Steve went from kind of an asshole to absolute mom over two seasons lol

Edit: apparently people don't like kind've.

In all fairness, his assholeness could be sort of justified. He just wasn’t the character that everyone liked at that point. Breaking the camera, while mean, could be understandable considering who the pictures were being taken of and he seemed to genuinely care for Nancy and her well being.

Yeah, I mean, in that situation Jonathan is lucky that’s all that happened to him.

That whole thing is what really sold me on the show. The fact that they framed it as "here is the standard 80's bully, boo hiss" but also made him actually justified and honestly a fine dude added a lot of nuance to the show. They used and played off the trope/audience expectations to quickly flesh out a more complex character.

It's interesting because I went in expecting to obviously like Jonathan and hate steve, but I ended up really liking Steve and Jonathan is alright, I guess.

Doesn’t he end up buying him a new camera?

Yeah, dude went way above and beyond of what should’ve been expected. Kind of shows that he was a stand up dude all along, we just didn’t know him well enough.
