reasons vol. 2 makes me really believe the duffers are just bad at writing characters
mike wheeler. now they have mike be super caring about will in s1 & s2 only in s3 to have be suddenly be kind of a dick. this would have made a lot of sense if mike was meant to be written as queer. but obviously he wasn’t. he was just a dick for zero reason at all. also fuck them for making mike say that he doesn’t think his life really started till he meet el. that’s so fucking stupid.
will byers- here’s the thing with will, they seem to not know what to do with him if he’s not being affected by the upside down. they just seem to make him sad but he loves his friends so he’s gonna support them! they don’t know wtf he would be like if he’s not sad and suffering so they just make him sad and suffer.
eddie munson- eddie was great character this season. like he fit right into the groups dynamic and him steve robin and nancy were a super fun group. but the duffers refuse to touch the main cast even if it would make sense for those characters to die. how did him dying help? how was that in anyway a good way to end his story? what they killed hik just because they couldn’t think of a way to clear his name? honestly wouldn’t be surprised!
steve harrington- they jsut don’t know wtf to do with steve if he doesn’t have a love interest. i thought part of steve’s develop would be realizing that he don’t need romantic love in his life all the time. that he can still be loved by his friends but no. once again the you need a love interest to be happy trope!
them making lucas, the one black person in the party, join basketball even if he’s showed zero interest in it before
them having robin’s, the one explicitly queer character, love interest be a side character that we get to know basically nothing about
nancy staring at steve and having multiple scenes where it looks like they might kiss and have her cheat on jonathan even though s3 made it seem like nancy and steve didn’t have feelings for each other anymore
They looked a little too excited for their friends breaking up
I like how in the van scene when Will has his veiled confession to Mike, they're driving forward. This shows how he is motivating Mike, how he wants to set Mike and El's relationship back in motion again.
But in the script, when it says Jonathan stares ahead at the "endless freeway stretching before them" after Will's confession, it just goes to show that for Will, he's not actually going anywhere. There is no destination in sight for him, despite him being a driving force for Mike in this scene. There is also literally no destination in sight, as they don't even know if Suzie got the coordinates right for Nina at this point. But yeah, for Will, his future seems bleak. The freeway looks the same no matter how long or how far they drive, it's just a long gray road in an empty, hopeless-looking desert. And that's exactly how Will feels inside. How devastating it must feel for Will to just pour his heart out to his childhood best friend knowing inside that this love is hopeless. He feels nothing will come from it. His pain will never end.
The amount of emptiness that must be in his heart... that's fucking relatable as a queer kid growing up. To have so much love to give but to be left with just a wall in front of you, a wall that really prevents you from loving, from being yourself, from feeling like you can really be a part of this world like everybody else. It sucks lol
