Troy Walsh is a supporting antagonist of Season 1 of Stranger Things. He is a bully who abused The Party (especially Mike and Dustin), alongside his best friend James in their middle school years.
He was portrayed by Peyton Wich.
What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He and his best friend, James have bullied the Party by physically abusing and calling them nicknames. Examples are frogface for Mike, toothless for Dustin and Midnight for Lucas based on his skin, which makes him racist.
- He shows no concern for Will when he went missing and bluntly told Will's friends that he was most likely dead.
- He trips Mike, injuring his chin and walks away, laughing in amusement.
- At Will's funeral he and James made homophobic remarks about Will, and laughing at his presumed death.
- He insults Mike and Will's presumed death when Mike confronts and calls him out for his lack of respect and when Troy shows no remorse, this causes Mike to push him out of anger.
- He tries to attack Mike for pushing him before Eleven makes him wet his pants. He then swears to cut Dustin's teeth and kill Mike.
- Blames Mike for causing him to wet pants, even though there was no clear evidence that Mike caused him to wet himself and when Dustin told him the truth, Troy did not believe him and threatened him at knifepoint.
- He tries to force Mike to kill himself, threatening to cut Dustin's teeth if he didn't, and he would have succeeded if it wasn't for Eleven saving Mike.
- At this point, even James didn't think it was a good idea.
- After Eleven broke his arm, Troy runs away, showing he is nothing but a coward.
- Tries to report the Party to the police, ignoring that part of the story where he was threatening Mike with a knife.
- Overall, Troy is a stuck-up dumbass who thinks the whole school belongs to him, and world revolves around him.
- He's a Karma Houdini, never facing any punishments for his acts. However, the only forms of karma Troy gets is being humiliated at school by wetting his pants and later getting his arm broken by El.
Trivia[]
- Due to several factors, it is unclear if the tie-in book The Bully is canon to the Netflix series. If it was, he would be slightly less unsympathetic because of his troubled childhood and home life.
