IT ALL STARTED SEASON 3, EPISO 3, WHEN WILL AND MIKE (FN WOLFHARD) GOT TO AN ARGUMENT AFTER MIKE STOPPED FOCG ON DUNGEONS & DRAGONS BEE HE STARTED DATG ELLE (MILLIE BOBBY BROWN). WILL IS SUPER UPSET THAT THEIR DYNAMIC HAS BEEN CHANGED AND MIKE SHOUTS, “IT’S NOT MY FLT YOU DON’T LIKE GIRLS!” IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE THE MASSIVE FANBASE BEGAN SPECULATG WHAT THIS SMALL MOMENT ULD MEAN FOR THE FUTURE, BUT THE SHOW HAS BEEN SLOW TO GIVE ANY OTHER VELOPMENT ON THIS STORY.THROUGH THIS YEAR’S ROUND OF PRS, HOWEVER, ’S BEE CLEAR—AS CLEAR AS ANYTHG N BE THE LI-AND-CE GAME OF CELEBRY PRS TOURS—THAT THERE’S FELY SOMETHG LED UP FOR WILL’S RELATNSHIP WH MIKE, AND ’S LOOKG PRETTY QUEER.

HE’S TERTED SOMEONE ELSE THE GROUP.” I MEAN, N THEY MAKE ANY MORE OBV?IF HE IS GAY, AND HE’S JT HAVG A HARD TIME G TO TERMS WH TERNALLY, THEN THAT’S A NECSARY STORY TO SHARE A MEDIA LANDSPE THAT OFTEN NEGAT THE QUEER YOUTH EXPERIENCE. FOR VIEWERS WHO MAY BE GOG THROUGH THE SAME THGS AS WILL—NOT READY TO SHARE WHAT’S GOG ON TERNALLY BEE THERE’S A LOT OF NFN AND FEAR—’S IMPORTANT THEY KNOW IS OKAY TO NOT REALLY UNRSTAND WHAT’S GOG ON, AS BROWN POTED OUT. AND SOME SENSE THERE’S NOTHG PARTICULARLY WRONG WH ST MEMBERS NOT ANSWERG THE QUTN AND WANTG TO LEAVE FOR VIEWERS TO SEE FOR THEMSELV, IF WHAT THEY’RE PLANNG IS TLY WORTH .WHAT’S NCERNG IS THAT WILL’S CHARACTER VELOPMENT HAS BEEN GOG AT A SNAIL’S PACE OVER THE LAST TWO SEASONS. IT’S ALMOST AS IF THE BIGGT PART OF HIS PERSONALY RIGHT NOW IS JT HIS CSH ON MIKE, OR HIS BEG THE CLOSET. HE WAS TEGRAL TO BOTH SEASON 1 AND SEASON 2 OF STRANGER THGS AS THE BOY WHO WENT MISSG, AND THEN BEME THE NNECTN TO THE UPSI DOWN. BUT SCE SEASON 3, HIS ROLE HAS BEEN MIMAL PARED TO HIS -STARS. GRANTED, THERE ARE OVER 16 CHARACTERS THE SERI TO FOC ON AND ’S HONTLY IMPRSIVE TO PULL OFF ANY CHARACTER GROWTH WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY. BUT WHY SHOULD WILL’S ONLY FOC BE HIS SEXUALY, OR THE QUTNG OF ? AND EVEN IF THE CREATORS WANT TO EXPLORE THAT BETIFUL SPACE OF FIGURG OUT YOUR INTY AND STGGLG TO TELL YOUR IEND YOU’RE GAY AND YOU HAVE A CSH ON THEM, WHY KEEP THE DIENCE OUT OF THAT JOURNEY?SURE, WILL MAY NOT BE READY TO SHARE THAT WH HIS IENDS, AND THAT’S PERFECTLY UNRSTANDABLE. BUT THE CURRENT AMG OF WILL’S CHARACTER IMPLI THAT THERE’S A EP SHAME NEEDG TIME OR SPACE TO FIGURE OUT YOUR STUFF. IT WOULD’VE BEEN AWOME TO SEE THE PATGS THAT WILL HAS (PROBABLY DITED TO MIKE) SOONER, OR HAVE GOTTEN MORE SHOTS OF HIM GLANCG AT MIKE LOVGLY WHILE NO ONE ELSE NOTIC. ANYTHG TO GET THE DIENCE ON THE SECRET, SO THAT DON’T FEEL LIKE SOME BIG TO-DO.WHEN ROB (MAYA HAWKE) WAS TRODUCED TO THE ST LAST SEASON, OUR QUEER LTLE HEARTS EXPLOD. THE DUFFER BROTHERS PROVED THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO BRG A LBIAN CHARACTER WH GRACE, AND SHE QUICKLY BEME A FAN FAVORE.HER RELATNSHIP GROWTH WH NANCY (NATALIA DYER) THIS SEASON? HANDS DOWN, ONE OF THE BT OF THE SERI. BUT WHY DO ROB GET SUCH BALANCED, BETIFUL CHARACTER WORK WHILE WILL GETS THE SHORT END OF THE STICK? SURE, SHE’S OLR THAN WILL AND IS PROBABLY A DIFFERENT MENTAL SPACE REGARDG HER SEXUALY. BUT WILL HAS BEEN THE SERI SCE THE BEGNG, AND HIS QUEERNS DIDN’T REALLY START TO E OUT UNTIL RECENTLY, AND NOW THERE’S A MASSIVE EXPECTATN SET FOR HOW THEY’RE GOG TO HANDLE NEXT. THE BETY OF ROB’S CHARACTER WAS HOW LTLE OF A AL TURNED OUT TO BE THAT SHE WAS A LBIAN, THAT HER AND STEVE (JOE KEERY) IMMEDIATELY WENT OM MAYBE CSH TO PLATONIC BTI. THERE’S A UNIVERSAL TTH THAT NO TWO QUEER EXPERIENC ARE EVER THE SAME, AND ’S OBV THAT WILL AND ROB’S JOURNEYS TO DISVERG THEMSELV ARE PLETELY DIFFERENT, BUT WE GOT TO SEE ROB’S A WAY THAT FEELS LIKE IS BEG ROBBED OM WILL.THE SEASONS HE WAS BARELY VOLVED THE UPSI DOWN ULD HAVE GIVEN WILL MORE TROSPECTIVE, MORE WAYS TO LET THE DIENCE KNOW HIS SECRET SO THAT WE ULD BE ROOTG FOR HIM AS HE FALLY GATHERS THE STRENGTH TO TELL MIKE ABOUT HIS FEELGS.OBVLY, WE’LL HOLD OUR BREATH AND WA TO ST FULL JUDGMENT ON THIS PLOT UNTIL WE SEE THOSE LAST TWO EPISOS THIS SUMMER. BUT EVEN IF ’S AS BETIFUL AS THE DUFFER BROTHERS ARE IMPLYG IS, THERE’S SOMETHG UNSAVORY WE N’T SHAKE ABOUT THE APPROACH TO THIS PLOT. HERE’S HOPG WILL FDS SOME HAPPS, BEE THE KID SERV AFTER ALL THE STUFF HE AND HIS IENDS HAVE BEEN GOG THROUGH ALL THE YEARS. TARIQ RAOUF
