Henry Creel's story makes me feel sick to my stomach
He was only 7 when he got corrupted by the mind flayer. It must've felt like he ruined his whole life after opening that damn suitcase. All he wanted was to be normal
He was abused at home (alcoholic dad, mom who did drugs) and his mother (fuckass Virginia creel) tried to act nice but deep down we all know she's just a piece of shit. When Henry tried to hug her she didn't even hug him back. She also tries to pretend that his issues don't exist and tells him to just "be normal" instead of comforting him. She did everything wrong
Poor Henry got bullied at school and eventually had to leave the girl he loved because of Brenner. If Brenner has no haters, i'm dead. I will forever hate this man for everything he's done. Not only to Henry, but to Eleven as well.
The way he treats Henry is insane. Hurts him, then grabs and comforts him. It's so unsettling. He manipulated Henry so much. The worst part is that Henry had no choice but to give in to Brenner, because he had no other adults in his life who cared about his problems (his parents preferred to believe that he could be fixed and turned to normal).
When he realized he couldn't control Henry, he just decided to make clones of him (this was also during the time of the Cold War - which is pretty interesting. the dumbass government wanted to use kids with powers to fight the russians)
"You are as much of a father to them as I am" is DISGUSTING it made me feel so sick. There's SA undertones and henry was literally groomed and this is really overlooked.
He used soteria to take his powers away from him...to make him powerless so he can control him....even after he had no use for henry he still kept him imprisoned at the lab. Henry's just been in a prison all his life I mean I would've gone insane. The punishments were crazy too, my heart ached when I was rewatching s4 and heard henry's screams from the electric shock punishment. And Brenner just stood there watching.
He deserved a much better ending...his death was written poorly and rushed. Whether he died or not, it should've been written better. There were so many plot holes and inconsistencies. How was Henry/the mind flayer so easily defeated..I hated the pathetic death
people say "you only like him because of his looks" no he was a scared child and his life was ruined. sometimes i see myself in him and i understand him. i feel bad for him and I love his character. I don't give a damn how he looks
