MIKE PUSHING DUSTIN AND LUCAS OUT OF THE WAY TO GET TO WILL BECAUSE HE FELL AGAINST A TREE AND APPARENTLY THEY’RE ATTACHED TO THE HIP ALL THROUGHOUT EP1. MIKE WHEELER IN HIS PROTECTIVE BOYFRIEND MODE. OH WE ARE SO FUCKING WINNING
Will was an actual main characters in vol I and got powers, just for them to not use them at all for the rest of the season, and they couldn't show us his vision and made a cheap-ass coming out scene just to get his sexuality out of the way...
El apparantly didn't need her friends anymore (she had more interactions with NANCY than Lucas and Dustin this season btw) and instead of getting her a happy ending after her childhood being taken from her, they had her possibly commit suicide...
Mike was a great leader, brother and friend in vol I just to be completely sidelined for the rest of the season and BARELY showing his pov despite clearly hinting at it in vol I...
Lucas had no character arc apart from being Max' love interest, he's my favourite, he's my king but that's the truth...
oh nothing just season 5 byler shut up i'm fine no literally i'm so okay like i'm so so normal about this okay so don't even worry about it it's actually insane how normal i am about these scenes okay actually don't even talk to me okay shut up i'm so okay about this
if these leaks are real mileven and byler are being set up as a literal romcom let me explain
( alleged leaks and spoilers below )
I said if, if. if these are real. Mind you these leaks are coming from GA who’s not very good at subtext so take it with a grain of salt
1.) we have mileven well and alive. three waterfalls, local village, etc. Good, it seems the painting lie worked. and that’s exactly a good point: the painting lie exists. and if the relationship is working it’s because of the lie.
2.) we have byler closer than ever and will is still in love with mike and asking robin how can you tell that someone likes you. that’s interesting, why would insecure, self-sacrificing will ask that? what does he think? is it about mike?
3.) do you not see the romcom set up?
the girl helps the guy get back with his gf through breaking her own heart, stays in love with him, somehow they start spending more time together. she begins to question if he could have ever loved her but it’s too late the guy is with his girlfriend. but maybe the guy starts spending more time with girl and gets these strange feelings. but alas no, he loves his girlfriend because of this specific thing (a painting lie maybe). but then it gets to the point where the guy cannot hide his attraction for the other girl anymore but is trying to hold on to the relationship. Until wait, it was all a lie! Those aren’t the real feelings of his girlfriend, those are the other girl and then the guy realizes he actually has loved the other girl all along. romcom!!!
some of these leaks are silly but if they are real, episode 1 is setting up the painting to be a ticking bomb in the mileven/byler 2003 romcom.
