We don't envision season 5 right when we talk because what is that actually gonna be like? This isn't a romcom. Mike finds out about the painting but Will is like throwing up blood and slugs in the corner.
edit: to clarify I wasn't saying "no time for romance" I was saying "it's horror show with raises stakes and angst. Mike will have to figure out how to bring up this truth bomb he discovered when more important things are clearly going on and there aren't the most conversational opportunities". I mean MORE juice, not less.
#stranger things#byler predictions#byler#stranger things speculations#like genuinely he will find out and be STALLED#because there are more important matters#like how do you be mad at your friend who's actively dying#(and also you're in love with)#we know there's a lot of complicated feelings about the painting but imagine getting hit with all those WITHIN the circumstance of whatever#horror shit#i think they will tie the two together like how season 2 created space for the emotions of the shed scene by intertwining them but#it IS more complicated to find out a big truth bomb about someone who is PREOCCUPIED to say the least#mike is like “ a year and a half ago you lied to me ”#and will is like “and 30 seconds ago i was crawling around on the ceiling catch up wheeler”#like you can't just interrupt with that personal life stuff#the writers can fit it i know that
