All of these scenes put together like this really shows how much Mike took care of Will in the previous seasons. Everyone is painting him out to be the bad guy - and don't get me wrong he was being a total jerk this season - but he probably feels a mixture of relief and abandonment over Will. Like, yeah he doesn't have to look out for Will anymore because he left, but Will was a big part of Mike's life and identity. You don't just get over someone leaving you like that, even if it's out of their hands, and that's probably where all the resentment came from. It just seems like Mike felt betrayed in some way based on the way he was treating Will, like the trust there was broken, not that he was just being a jerk "just because". Should he have written letters? Yeah, for sure - but he was probably dealing with all that emotion internally and just couldn't handle writing to a friend he felt like he just "lost." Plus, Mike is canonically an oblivious idiot. Anyways, this video hurt me personally, so thanks. I loved it :')
the absolute love and care that you see in will's eyes when he looks at mike is so painful because i know how that feels. being inlove with your straight best friend...
I know that everyone else who is responding to you is talking about the show instead of the other bit, but that sounds rough. Hope that you're doing well. Best of luck.
omg you couldn't have picked a better song!!! I had this feeling watching the earlier seasons that I felt Will might have liked Mike and with this season there is no doubt what is happening ahhhh. this edit is so good and you portrayed Will feeling so well!
I think that one of the most interesting interactions we got was Mike from moment cero being super distant with Will despite everything they went through with no reason , almost as if he was being 👀 spiteful, you know wich of course is hurtful and to top it all Will really cares for El as her sister. The.drama of it all. Anyway, loving the sad byler era 😢
Totally. I think it lends credence to Mike maybe being jealous because Eleven told him he’s working on a painting, for a girl. And maybe when will brought it to the airport he thought it was for Eleven?
@@dracoluciusmalfoy3rd they are siblings, i don't think Mike even thinks Will likes El, I think Mike knows deep down Will likes him and knowing he didn't ''reach out'' more in that year prob annoyed Mike but he doesn't say it.
oh my god I finished it 5 minutes ago and I’m still in shock on how good it was. 4 DAYS UNTIL SEASON FINALE. this edit is gorgeous as usual ✨ you’re so talented
Omg this song fits Will so much I'm crying 😭 Like, him being heartbroken because of his unrequited love for his best friend but being unable to tell him because he's scared and Mike loves Eleven who is now basically Will's sister ("we're her brothers, and we're family")... The "how could I hate her, she's such an angel" verse fits so much...
Ugh! My heart! What a perfect song for them. But damn it kills me seeing Will hurting... can we PLEASE give him some sort of happy ending? They've been torturing him for 4 seasons!
Season one: trapped in a terrifying alternate dimension that is trying to kill him. Season two: possessed by a demon Season three: ignored by everyone, even his own family. Season four: forbidden love. What’s next? Suicide in season 5? I seem to be one of the only people I know that actually likes will’s character, and it is terrible to see how awful of a life he has had. His whole life has been a tragedy.
Fr, he deserves someone better, Mike just isnt it, maybe they could at least stay at friends but nothing more, Mike doesn't deserve Will😭 (Just my opinion ^^)
God, i’ve been theorizing too much lately ESPECIALLY about byler. After rewatching every ‘’byler’’ scene from season 4 about 50 times straight I can’t help but notice one major detail, Mike. It all has to do with Mike, the main reason (i think) he’s not saying the L word to Ell (jane) is because he started seeing her in a different way, and definitely not romantically. Just the amount of stutter he has when fighting with Jane is incredible, the man is clearly in denial about things. Not to mention in this season Mike tries to drift away from Will most likely due to his own self, being confused (sexuality wise), yet Mike always feels regret and goes back to Will, because he knows that Will is still going to be his friend no matter what happens, (legit the quote Mike said in episode 4 not exactly but very close to it). Basically what I’m trying to say is, Mike most definitely is starting to part from Ell romantically and might just be growing feelings for Will. (The evidence at this point is just slamming us in the face)
this is so good i've watched it 3 times today ;-; the 'love makes you crazy/crazy together' part was honestly genius, and the editing is of course amazing
You're a genius. I've been imagining them as this song for all season 4. I even thought of an edit in my head, but just found yours...and it's perfect. Thank you. I will continue suffering as a massive Will fan since season 2 (T_T)
OH MY GOD what is this edit?!?!?? you couldn't have chosen a better song i've honestly been shippin mike and eleven for the longest time but i'm here for the byler dynamic i think mike does like will too but the feeling is not that strong and he's hiding it
The way this is done is so good, putting the right lyrics at the right moments, it actually made me cry. The song perfectly captured the hopeless feeling of the relationships between el, mike and will from wills perspective, so good job!!
I like how they put el and will together as siblings because of their chemistry and how it perfectly matches up with the story because Joyce was like a mother figure to el
I was looking for something to apply this song to for so long, and this made me realize that it could not fit more perfectly with anything else, thank you so much
This is so sad but so good! I just subbed I like both ships but please someone get Will a partner that won’t ghost him :( Will and El both have been through so much El has been treated harshly in the Hawkins lab by Dr. Brenner/“papa”, and Will has gone through abuse, went missing, and possesed by the shadow monster. I hope if Will comes out the people around him are supportive. I also really love how it fits when Mike says “we’ll go crazy together” and tries to say the same to El then a voice over says “only love makes you that crazy”
oh my GOD i really didnt think about this song with thes three people and i love heather and conan gray, i am amberesed that i didn t think about that, this is perfect
This made me sob. I've watched the show at least five times, but I still expected Will and Mike to kiss at points. Namely 0:53 0:55 (I genuinely thought it was Will) 2:19 and 2:39. Seriously. I'm crying. Why.
wait waiiiit i think mike likes will too cause you know el said to mike 'you dont say you love you cant even write' sooo mike no longer in love El maybe he just dosnt wanna accept his feelings for will sooo he just run away from him..
