My Stranger Things (very) hot takes. (⚠️Controversial⚠️).

Mileven was the only good couple in the entire show.

Maxine was a terrible friend to El, and a terrible girlfriend to Lucas.

The show should’ve ended after season 2.

Mike was a wayyyyyyy overhated character and didn’t deserve all the hate he got.

Season 3 and 5 are equally bad. Even season 4 was kinda bad.

Finn‘s acting was good in the void scene, just because Finn’s acting is more subtle than other actors doesn’t make him a bad actor.

difference with how fandom treats mileven & lumax

oh my god i am gonna get SO much hate for this. but thats alr cause like this fandom is kind of one of the most hateful ones.

first of all i get if yall like byler or mileven but the amount of hate mike gets is CRAZY. the boy is hated for being a teenage boy with anxiety and trouble in communicating.

when max went into a coma, everyone started making those ‘everybody moved on but i’ with lucas of how he waited for her to wake up for years. and i get it i love lumax so much okay but when el dies and people are just saying “el’s dead get over it” like its fuckin ambiguous?? we can choose what we like??

and the amount of people not giving a shit about el and just telling mike to move on, and that somehow lucas is so much better than mike is baffling, to say the least.. i have had SO MANY people telling me that el is dead okay, and its like people have lost sympathy and all they care about is rewriting the season to get mike and will together, not el.

i’m probably gon get a ton of hateful comments but ok.

Mike Wheeler and New Masculinities

I love talking about Mike as the heart of the group—the best friend, the good brother, the romantic interest—but I feel his character often goes unnoticed for the incredibly healthy model of masculinity he embodies. In an era that seems defined by extremes, and where many young women swoon over the "men written by women" found in romance novels, it is refreshing to find—in a mainstream series written by men—not only strong female characters but also characters like Mike. He is someone who isn't afraid to be vulnerable, who works on acknowledging his feelings, and who strives to be loyal to those he loves. Within his somewhat complex family, he maintains a great relationship with his mother and sisters; he opens up to his friends about his emotions and supports them in their decisions; and he is creative, intelligent, sweet, kind, funny, brave, selfless, bold, and resilient. Possessing an appeal that defies typical standards, he is the kind of character I wish were more widely appreciated and seen more often in series like this.
