they took all that time to make the Will video on Netflix and y'all think he's not important... the whole show started because of him and his disappearance is the most important thing that happens and starts everything, they would have never found El if he wasn't gone she would have been taken by Brenner again without Mike helping her hide and Mike wouldn't have found her if he didn't want to go look for Will in the woods 💀 Will & El are bonded and Will is the survivor that fucked up Henry's plans more than once with Mike's help - Will told Mike the mindflayer was back, Will told the others how to stop him in season 2 with the close gate, Will helped Mike in s4 to help El so that she could keep fighting when she lost hope, Will is going to be the hero of season 5 if we look at all the foreshadowing from S1 he's the one that wins... and in S4 El proved that she couldn't defeat vecna on her own - she needs her brother and the others
the airport scene really is a cinematic masterpiece
we have argyle and jonathan high as hell
willel excited to see their boo
then this doofus shows up only to have his girlfriend immediately be disappointed by “from: mike”, have a totally “heterosexual” interaction with his best friend, then gets clocked by a guy he doesn’t know for wearing a knock-off
i love every moment of it because in just these 2 minutes you find out everything you need to know about the dynamic between mike, el, and will. this is the first half of the catalyst that takes down mikeven, shows mike’s struggle with his sexuality, and the love will has for mike. it’s chef’s kiss fr i couldn’t have asked for a better scene 🤌
its 1992, they’re in college, will started experimenting with hair styles, eleven is insanely happy and excited to be living a normal life and mike is mikeing, honoring eddie with his hair style🫶
Saw this trend going around and immediately thought of my favourite siblings
Oh and i just love twelvegate and willel twins theories like ik it might not happen in canon but its such a cool concept (tho ofc el would never want her brother to suffer like she did)
will byers does not need a villain arc will byers needs a hero arc were he gets to save everyone and beat the absolute shit out of vecna for making his life a living hell at 12 years old
