No because the funniest thing is Eddie seeing Steve do cool stuff with his bat and completely annihilating a demogorgan. Eddie is panicking and he wants to do something cool too, so without thinking he just smashes his guitar over the demogorgan’s head. Steve and Eddie look at each other in shock.
Steve: Eddie you just killed your first demogorgan!
Jude: I think I wanna do ballet.
[Ivan chuckled, tightening Jude’s laces with a swift yank]
Jude: Don’t laugh! Boys can do that too-.. right?
Ivan: Y’can do anythin’ y’want, bud.
Jude: I wouldn’t have to wear a tutu, would I?
Ivan: Not unless y’wanted to.
Jude: I don’t think I wanna wear anything frilly-.. none of the men in the video I found were wearing one.
Ivan: Been doin’ some research, eh?
[Ivan tried to hide it, but he couldn’t wipe the grin off his face completely]
Jude: You’re still laughing!
Ivan: I ain’t! It’s just-.. you wouldn’t suddenly be interested in ballet ‘cause a certain lil’ lady J is, would ya?
Jude: No!
Ivan: Right.
Jude: Do you think she’d be impressed though?
Ivan: What d’you reckon-.. would you be impressed if someone faked an interest in somethin’ you liked?
[Jude supposed not, causing him to frown thoughtfully]
Jude: Oh-.. maybe not.
Ivan: In my experience, folk like it better when you don’t pretend.
Jude: I thought that’s what boys are supposed to do? They’re always tryna impress girls in movies n’ stuff, and Gavin’s always telling everyone about the amazing stuff he does or buying mom fancy things that make her squeal.
Ivan: I wouldn’t pay much mind t’all that nonsense, bud.
Ivan: The best way t’make friends is t’spend time with folk n’ be yourself-.. the odd compliment here n’ there wouldn’t go amiss though, hm?
[Ivan chuckled to himself as he guided Jude’s wobbling form toward the roller rink-.. ballet, pfha!]
I like to imagine that when Steve is trying to talk and someone interrupts him Eddie goes bat shit crazy. Eddie makes his voice heard throughout the entire room to make sure everyone knows that Steve is talking so “shut the fuck up” and obviously Steve loves him for it because in the end his message is heard :)
