HELP IM CTFU

[narrativelogicofbyler]

as someone who literally studied this stuff, i’m sorry but why on earth would the duffers put mike and will’s first meeting on will’s memory tape if it wasn’t meant to mean something. that’s not a random choice. that’s not a cute callback. that’s the kind of moment you highlight when you’re saying “this relationship is the root system.”

and then making mike the first emotional touchstone on the tape? come on. that’s storytelling 101. you don’t give that kind of narrative priority to a relationship you plan to sideline later. you don’t build an entire visual motif around will’s interiority and then centre mike in it just for fun.

so why would they do all of that, the memory tape, the first meeting, the emotional framing, only to turn around in volume 2 and the finale and act like will and mike’s relationship suddenly doesn’t matter. it makes no damn sense. it’s not even about shipping at that point, it’s about basic narrative coherence. you don’t plant a flag that big and then pretend you didn’t.

“I mean what did you think, really? That a show about nerds and outcasts was gonna have a well-written queer romance? That, in the end, queer love could help save the world?”

Yeah I guess I did. I really did.

Having a queer character believe he won't find love and proving him right is not good writing.

Having a character grow up in solitary confinement and then ripping her away from the only family she's ever known to live a life of solitude once again is not good writing.

Having a character be in love with his best friend and then just compare it to a high school crush is not good writing.

Having Eleven say that Mike has always been the person who truly understood her after showing us in the previous seasons that he only sees her as a superhero IS NOT GOOD WRITING.

Having two girls be abused by a man with power for the majority of their lives only to leave them dead and alone as a direct consequence of the trauma they suffered IS VILE WRITING
