#17: No Hat, No Play!
Hopper is one of the most iconic characters in the show for many reasons. His attachment to Eleven shows us just how much he loves her wants her to be safe and happy. Being the sheriff of a completely messed up town kind of puts him between a rock and a hard place…
Whether you noticed it or not, Hopper made a very significant reference to Indiana Jones and his very famous fedora. When Hopper is in the Upside Down in season 2, he almost forgets his hat but goes to grab it. Just like Indiana Jones does every so swiftly in the Temple of Doom.
