I do think El and Mike love each other. But they've grown up, and the romantic love just isn't there anymore. On both sides. I dont think El loves Mike romantically, either. With her losing her dad and the isolation and the loneliness, she clings to Mike. I think in the 5th season, Mike is going to have to pull Will from the dark side. The speech he gives Will, will be much more emotionally satisfying. When he talks to El, when she's in the upside down, was like a child explaining love. When he saves Will from the dark side it will be like a man saving someone he is in love with.

[@gayerthings]

you are so real for this. tbh I really can’t take mike’s love confession seriously and I agree that if (when) he confesses to will, it’ll be a lot more emotionally satisfying. the whole “I love you on your good days, I love you on your bad days” was giving discount wedding vows/stuff mike probably overheard on tv

I have a feeling that they won't end up together, but I personally really like this ship, I think they could be really cute together, I just personally don't see it actually happening in the show for some reason. Also even though Mike isn't CANONLY apart of the lgbtq community (or at least not yet anyways), Will CLEARLY has a thing for Mike, so who knows lol. They might be able to show the development between them in season 5, and Mike, could eventually develop feelings (that is if he doesn't already like him). Great video btw

[@gayerthings]

Thank you ❤️❤️ and yeah there are a lot of reasons why maybe they won’t, but tbh I rewatched the whole show after s4 and I was like damn… the foundation is totally there. Their friendship has always been different

[@anchill8894]

I like their ship and Will pining for Mike, it's adorable, but from what I've seen in s4 the focus on Mike's feelings, his pov - it was barely there, but from Will's perspective he looks so clueless and I hardly believe something Will-related was going on in his head, but I also refuse to believe Mike and El are meant to be together: remember that case in el's room dedicated to Mike? i almost audibly gasped when I saw that, if you worship your bf like some idol this is an unhealthy relationship, and not only for you. So IMO, if writers wanted, they could make Mike anything in season 5, there's still hope, but I am getting ready for the "Will discovering his sexuality" arc, not the "Will and Mike love story"

[@dexington]

I mean, it was the 80s so it would be highly shunned upon. We saw that robin was hiding her crush on Vickie to make sure that nobody knew. But they could have a secret romance in the show so, cross ur fingers lol

It's for sure that Mike knows that El didn't ask Will to draw that painting because she mentioned it in her letters (in the beginning of the episode)

[@dogster8257]

El had a history of lying in her letters, so I bet he figured she lied about the painting in the letters so she could surprise him and gift it to him. Because Mike definitely remembered her writing that the painting was for a girl when he acted so weird about it at the airport. If he didn't, he wouldn't have acted so cold about it (he would never say no to Will's art and that's canon, he has a literal binder full of it). He thought it wasn't for him, and got jealous.

Most of the people I know, REALLY seem to dislike Wolfhard's performance in the 4th season. Be it people in my circle who watch the show, or other fans on different social medias, their main criticism is that he is WAY too detached in the season and it damages his dynamic with El. Initially, that was my stance as well. Compared to the other kids(especially the massive growth and maturity seen in Caleb McLaughlin's brilliant performance), he seemed to have gotten worse. However, I am now wondering if these overlooked understated moments with Will are leading us to somewhere. Seeing this videos, I am genuinely asking myself what if Mike is supposed to be queer as well..... IF this is the case when we find out in season 5, then Finn Wolfhard deserves a lot of credit for making it believable, cause the amount of backlash that she got on social media for his acting, it would actually make up for that.

[@gayerthings]

I def heard that a lot too lol. another common (related) complaint I kept hearing is that mike and will didn’t “do anything” in season 4, but I think their main storyline was honestly building their relationship and love story there. they didn’t “do much” in the way of battling the supernatural but the amount of heart to heart scenes they had was truly wild. They had just as many heart to hearts as Lucas and max, and joyce and hopper (if not more)

I honestly believe that Mike loves el but like not in that way anymore. He’s liked will since the beginning and is too afraid to tell el that he doesn’t really love her anymore because he’s afraid he’ll break her heart and hurt her really bad. Also I don’t like the concept of Mike and el because I notice El treats Mike horribly, for example: he lied to her bc hopper threatened him in s3 and when he tried to give her context she didn’t listen to him and she dumped him, he cares about her a lot but it doesn’t seem like she does. Another example is when el lied at the roller rink, once will told him, he tried his best to save her from Angela. He also makes her feel special, he tells her she’s a superhero, he helped her fight off vecna, etc. That’s why I love byler more, bc Mike just seems so much happier around will

Wow 😂😂 crazy a hand 🤚

[@Gods_finest122]

Bcs I don’t think he likes that fact that he put his hand there and what if he did?

[@0._casper_.0]

no, but you forgot to mention him incessantly glancing at will's lips lmaoo

[@lxvenderjewel]

1:28 this is SUCH a good point though like even without the context of mike being totally in love with will why the HELL are you mad at him for "ruining the day" instead of the ppl who threw chocolate milk on your gf and then recorded her crying in the middle of the roller rink?? should that not be your main concern?? instead of will moping around because he's third-wheeling (on his BIRTHDAY might i fuckin add) i can't even make this sound straight lmfao

[@Gods_finest122]

Who said he wants mad at them for doing taht? And even when he tried to help el from getting away from the skating rink he couldn’t he wasn’t worried abt those people he was worried abt el nd Mike didn’t even know it was his birthday when will tried to talk to Mike he seemed very uninterested and didn’t believe anything will had to say abt Angela

[@angelwithnightmares]

They are so in love I don’t know how anyone could deny it atp.

[@Lil_mangle87]

If they were in love then why would mike still be with el?

[@angelwithnightmares]

@@Lil_mangle87 you have to remember this was the 80’s and being gay was considered a mental disorder… gay marriage wasn’t legal and it was also the AIDS pandemic. Just because they have feelings for each other doesn’t mean they’d act on their feelings. Especially not since they’re best friends too. Why would they want to ruin their friendship? Because of course, neither Mike or Will would ever think their feelings would be reciprocated.

[@neeha480]

I think all of that was pretty valid, you nearly convinced me. But that happens with friends. If anyone compliments you, you’d probably react a similar way. And the same for most of this stuff.
