I rewatched s1 recently, and honestly mleven was worse than I remembered. There's three scenes where Mike does something (twice it's yelling at her and once it's making her hide in his closet) which causes El to have a traumatic flashback, making her cry. The rink o mania scene in s4 where, after El hits Angela in the head, Mike asks: "what's wrong with you", was something straight out of s1 mleven.

And sure, I get that we as the audience have to find out about El's background somehow, and Mike is the character she spends the most time with. But like .... how is this one of your lead romances?

He yells at her, uses her as a tool/weapon, and treats her a bit like a stray dog (blanket fort in the basement on a diet of leftovers and eggos for a week). And I get that he's an ignorant twelve year old boy who is going through a really hard time, but it doesn't make for a good romance, especially when we don't see much of a crush from El's side. He also kisses her when she doesn't know what kissing/romance even is, which I feel is a bit odd. And there was no way Mike thought El knew what it meant. She probably only learnt what a kiss was several months later on Hopper's TV. It just comes off as not well thought through on the Duffers end.

Yes, they have a couple cute moments, but the cuteness in the scene came more from El making a friend/learning how to be a person/girl, rather than any romantic chemistry between Mike and El specifically. Maybe it's just because I'm a byler (and I'm not 13 anymore), but mleven was just not good, and it makes their s3 relationship even worse than it already was tbh.
