janie jones July 14, 2022 Share July 14, 2022 I think it's kind of a thing though. They say that actual couples are boring onscreen and people who are hot together don't like each other in real life. 1 Link to comment
Cranberry July 15, 2022 Share July 15, 2022 Maybe this will finally end the debate: ‘Stranger Things’ Star Noah Schnapp on Doja Cat, Season 5, and Will’s Sexuality: ‘He Is Gay and He Does Love Mike’ (EXCLUSIVE) "I mean, it’s pretty clear this season that Will has feelings for Mike. They’ve been intentionally pulling that out over the past few seasons. Even in Season 1, they hinted at that and slowly, slowly grew that storyline. I think for Season 4, it was just me playing this character who loves his best friend but struggles with knowing if he’ll be accepted or not, and feeling like a mistake and like he doesn’t belong." "Obviously, it was hinted at in Season 1: It was always kind of there, but you never really knew, is it just him growing up slower than his friends? Now that he’s gotten older, they made it a very real, obvious thing. Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike." "The Duffers are saying for next season that they’re going to focus more on Will and build that storyline. I think that’s super exciting." 4 Link to comment
iRarelyWatchTV36 July 15, 2022 Share July 15, 2022 (edited) The cat - that was never really in the bag - seems to officially be out of the bag now. This is just one of numerous articles about it, a NS interview with Variety being the source;‘Stranger Things’ Star Noah Schnapp Confirms Will Is Gay and in Love with Mike D'oh! Thought this post was new to the thread, but didn't see the one by @Cranberry. Edited July 15, 2022 by iRarelyWatchTV36 1 Link to comment

Yeah, watching Will confess to Mike, and all the awkwardness & Will's heartbreak due to Mike not feeling the same - due to Mike's likely not even being bi-curious - will be super exciting to watch. Not. Although, I will say, I still feel that Will (& El!) could do better than Mike, for a romantic partner. 1 1 Link to comment

I fully realize he's still a younger teen and has a lot of time & room to grow emotionally, maturity-wise and such, but right now his relationship with El has lots of bad/wrong vibes. Comes off as wanting to be controlling and is very needy of her to need him, most the time. 3 4 Link to comment

I wouldn't mind seeing El in a healthy happy relationship because she deserves something good in her life, but Mike - as he is currently, and has been since S2 - is not the person she should be involved with romantically. 1 4 Link to comment

I would like to see her figure herself out. She started to seem like she was coming into her own when she became friends with Max but it seems like she regressed after she thought Hopper died and she lost her powers. El needs to know her worth outside of being a hero. I think if the show ends with Hopper/Joyce together and El winds up with 2 parents and 2 brothers who love her and a group of friends that love her no matter if she is a super hero or not - that would be a fantastic end for El. 2 7 Link to comment

Playing off of this, its a bit of a shame they made Will gay, because I would have shipped him & El so hard - even if only in my own 'fanon' mind. Both deserve good and happiness, and would have been a great match, from that perspective. (And for the "but their sorta like brother and sister!" crowd... after watching the first few seasons of The Flash, pseudo-incest doesn't even begin to register on my radar for 'that's disgusting' anymore) 2 1 Link to comment
QuantumMechanic July 27, 2022 Share July 27, 2022 Bah -- Netflix is retroactively removing the scene of Jonathan taking peeping tom pictures of Nancy in season one. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/stranger-things-netflix-retroactively-editing 2 1 Link to comment
bijoux July 27, 2022 Share July 27, 2022 Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that a season one episode of Stranger Things had been edited retroactively to remove a shot of Jonathan photographing Nancy while she was changing. They're actually correcting a continuity error about Will's birthday. I'm glad they're not changing that scene with Jonathan. 3 3 Link to comment
ch1 July 27, 2022 Share July 27, 2022 The Duffers said they were going to change the date of Will’s birthday because they completely forgot the date in season 4 but I don’t know if they were serious about that. I think changing things in previous seasons is silly and honestly who would have time for that? Link to comment

iRarelyWatchTV36 July 28, 2022 Share July 28, 2022 (edited) Whatever they're changing, be it Will's bday or the 'peeper' scene... c'mon now. Will's bday writing mishap is a noticeable mistake but its not a series breaker by any stretch. And the other retroactive change possibility, the 'peep' scene? Ridiculous. We wouldn't want to give people the wrong ideas on how to use their cameras... I mean, its not like pervs have been using cameras to do that kind of stuff since they were invented or anything. Oh, wait. (Disclaimer: I'm not saying that invading someone's privacy in such a way is in any way right nor condone such actions, but its not something that is brand new to American culture) Its cool to portray 16-17yo teenagers underage drinking and potentially having unsafe sex in the very same scene set, but a guy taking 'paparazzi' shots of the upper half of a girl still wearing her bra? That's unacceptable and where we draw the line! Edited July 28, 2022 by iRarelyWatchTV36 2 Link to comment

Jonathan developing the pics and his classmate seeing them, Steve finding out and breaking his camera, Steve changing the theater sign, etc. It would be silly to make all those changes. Just find a fainting couch, get some damn smelling salts, and get over it. 4 1 2 Link to comment

If a 30-year-old Olivia Newton-John could pull off playing a high school senior in Grease, then this cast shouldn’t have any problem whatsoever. Besides, that’s what makeup is for. 😉 3 3 Link to comment
