Do the duffers not realize how insensitive it is to design a character that’s stated to be gay in the pitch deck, but refuse to address his sexuality and treat it like a plot twist until the very last season, put him through absolute hell for 4 seasons, and then reduce his entire story arc to just him being gay and in love with his best friend, and then proceed to teach said character that he just needs to accept himself, rather than understand that he can have that love returned to him, while he has to sit and watch as everyone around him gets to have that love returned to them at one point or another...
Why is your main gay character the ONLY character with unrequited love??? Do you not realize the message you are subconsciously sending to so many viewers? Why even have Will like Mike at all at that point?
Were zero gay people consulted for season 5? Did the development execs at Netflix read the scripts for this season with their eyes closed? How do you fumble queer representation THIS badly in 2025…
But then again, these are the people who forgot Will’s birthday, don’t even know how old he is, and proudly state that they don’t watch previous seasons before writing the new ones — so maybe decent writing just isn’t something they’re capable of. Maybe that’s why all the dialogue this season sounds like chatgpt wrote it.
But seriously, how can you have Max realize that she never needed Kate Bush, she just needed Lucas, and then have Will’s storyline be purely about how he doesn’t need Mike, just himself. Total bullshit.
I was prepared for a non-byler endgame. I didn’t want it to be true, but I was bracing myself. But goddamn the finale was so ass, I thought there’d at least be a little more closure.
