don't you bylers understand that will moving on from mike would be a far more revolutionary and progressive ending for his character than byler becoming canon?
he's 15, mind you. still a teenager. do you know just how much adolescents change between 15 and 18?
i had a huge crush on a guy when i was 15 to the point where i was ready to sacrifice anything to be with him. but not even two years later, i realized just how dumb he really was and i moved on. and now i can't even stand the sight of him.
it'll probably be the same for will. s5 is gonna be about will moving on from mike and learning to be himself.
Babe I'm sorry but this is objectively false, like - as a fact - because queer romance in a main show like stranger things between two of the main characters is far more revolutionary than "gay boy gets friendzoned by straight best friend and moves on"
but also I can say the exact same thing for Eleven? lmao
I think it would be far more revolutionary for her to be a single protagonist than stay with the boy she started dating when she didn't even know what that meant, and she can continue to learn to be herself without men in her life! A great message to all the little girls out there, they can be protagonists even without having to have a boyfriend and focus on the love from their family and friends as a priority 🤗
Plus it would also be revolutionary for Mike's character to find out he's queer on screen and have an actual good character arc for himself where he overcomes all of his fears thanks to the love from Will, since the love he got from Eleven didn't help him to do that at all on its own, plus go against the theme of forced conformity that the writers introduced
Byler is just the better narrative and story for all of them at this point and not as an opinion but as a fact... Any decent storyteller could tell you that
