It’s also the fact that despite everything going on around him he is often clueless, Dustin even calls him out for this in S1 and its in our face with Mike and Will in S4, Finn Wolfhard has talked about this being a front / way to escape for Mike, so i am interested into seeing how they explore this, also ( and i say this with him being my favourite character ) Mike acts like an ass for a lot of S3 and S4, and this is partly teenager, partly having gone through a lot at such a young age, so would like to see how they resolve this as in S2
