even if byler happens in the last episode i will still be incredibly pissed off. i went into season 5 with hope that byler would happen in the same way that jancy happened, or how lumax happened, or how fucking jopper happened. but no. what we would get is a plot twist. a last minute confession. no mike wheeler character arc. mike getting vecna'd and having his feelings for will used against him theory? gone. painting? what painting? scene. gone. will and mike's very needed heart to hearts? nonexistent. birthdaygate? what is that. flickergate? what is that. every other byler gate? vanished into thin air. me rooting for byler was me rooting for an actual mike wheeler storyline. i was rooting for a mike pov. main character mike. i was rooting for the mike wheeler that actually felt like the heart of the group. i was rooting for mike to finally become the best version of himself and finally accept himself with will, his best friend, right next to him. but no. mike wheeler is only relevant when its to push someone else's character. mlvn scenes are fucking trash which just proves that its not just byler the duffers dont seem to care about but just mike in general. i spent so long analyzing mike wheeler. defending him with my life. telling everyone that he will become so much more in season 5. murray seems to have more going for his character than michael fucking wheeler does. i fucking saw myself in the concept of mike wheeler. i made this account to share my theories about mike wheeler and byler and i hoped to some fucking god that i wouldn't look like a fool. the duffers seemed to have other plans. even if byler happens i won't be satisfied because of how they handled mike wheeler. he deserved so much more than this fucking shitshow. surprisingly this isn't the only thing wrong with season 5 but this is just the thing that pisses me off the most.
