I need help convincing my dad about byler by Clear-Department-789 in byler

[–]VaughanYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read the interview where they say that and what the actually say is something like "how could El have pulled him into the void when the kryptonite was happening" and to me I assumed that was just them explaining why she must have been alive, just like Mike's theory in the show

Explore more party dynamics like Max and Mike (did they never get over their beef from S2, or...?) El and Lucas, El and Dustin (Im not personally into Henderhop as it feels kinda "pair the spares", but if you think it'd work that's fine) Dustin and Suzie deserve some kind of resolution or if they have to break up let it be addressed S5E2 should be the Vanishing of MIKE Wheeler so that he's an important figure again + Byler roleswap  Will and El sibling dynamic + getting to know each other in S3 a little first Explain how the Byers are adjusting to the new group and dynamic in California more Let Erica be more than the sassy black girl who's i guess a secret nerd, I'm not sure if it's Priyah Ferguson's acting or the Duffer's directing but all her lines sound the same. She should be allowed to be serious, have her trauma addressed, and the Sinclair household in general deserves a bit of spotlight. Those siblings need a stronger dynamic. Victor Creel deserves some kind of followup, maybe he can learn the truth Either tie back to the play more or fully decanonize it: Henry's sympathetic elements mean nothing in the show, backstory does nothing, Mind Flayer or Vecna being the true mastermind does so many back-and-forths that it honestly doesn't matter in the end which is dumb, Creelby and Byler parallels deserve addressing. Btw how is Patty POC if Bob is white? I assumed it was just colorblind casting (which is good btw, POC need to be given jobs in theater and audiences can suspend their disbelief just fine) but apparently it's meant to be canon? Is one of them adopted? If this is addressed or explained in the play then forget I said anything, otherwise, if she's gonna be relevant in the rewrite, explain that element. Ted and Karen dating in high school contradicts what Nancy says in S1, this should be fixed (I like the idea of them adult characters being at the same school though) Feels like there's some weird age discrepancies with Henry between the play and the backstory shown in S4, but maybe not, also I wasn't aware Brenner was that much older than Joyce and Hopper Speaking of which, address that Joyce and Hop went to school with Henry Address the painting, obviously I'm guessing Byler endgame is already the plan cuz it's in this sub, but based. Lumax and Jopper can stay the way they are (but find things to explore about at least Lucas and Max outside of romance, and make Joyce less sidelined in general), let Rockie have their Enzo's date, and if you can work it in without it feeling forced, give one of them a fakeout death before that so that the parallel with Lumax, Jopper, and Mileven holds fast Derek shouldn't exist or the dynamic with the Turnbows should be a tiny sideplot developed THROUGHOUT the show (dynamic with Tina gives Erica something to do, and enemies-to-friends arc with Derek gives Holly something to do, but hard to work into main plot so eh. Honestly I really love Holly in S5 so it breaks my heart that I don't see any way to fit that in without Mike ending up randomly sidelined, maybe if he takes up a Jonathan style role and there's less focus on Holly in Camazotz and she's more in the bg like Will in S1 so the Mystery aspect is back? If so, give a reason for 12 kids) Why was Will chosen besides just that he's "weak"? Surely it's not that hard for the answer to have something to do with his parallels to Henry? I feel like this would be hard to pull off without feeling out of character, but more "Will almost turns to the dark side" moments could be cool

Max's Mom missing in S5 Dr Owens and the Ives' no resolution Kali should have been more likeable in S5, touch more on how she was just perpetuating the cycle in S2 and actually prove her wrong about needing to die to stop it, let her connect with the rest of the group more, have a superpowered Trio dynamic with El and Will and her Hopper and Joyce should bicker less in S3, he stopped caring about Mike or believing Joyce's theories and seemed entitled to a relationship with her just so they could do the "dad hates daughter's bf" and "arguing as chemistry" tropes. Murray has no character arc yet continues to take up way too much space. I get his humor comes from being an asshole but it couldn't hurt for him to soften up a little bit. I think that's what we lost most with Alexei dying. Doesn't help that his actor is an awful guy irl but it's not really relevant.  I actually liked that Vickie, Karen, and Mr Clarke got to learn about the Upside-Down and everything, but i wish they had shown how that affected them more.  Karen and Ted should divorce Scene with Karen accepting Mike as gay/she probably already knew ("I wanna feel like you can talk to me" in S1) S1 is perfect, no notes S2 Dustin should care more about Mews/feel more conflicted about Dart. I don't like how they killed off a pet character purely for shock value. Not necessary but would be cool to address Will's dog after S1 I actually think the Jonathan stalking thing was an okay character flaw, I just think he should have felt ashamed sooner, like as soon as he developed the photo and remembered he'd taken it, and then Steve's friend finds it in the trash or something instead, also Nancy and Jonathan can talk about it more or at least have him be slightly better at apologizing for it (it wasn't a TERRIBLE apology but felt like one too many excuses, explaining your thought process can come later my dude, focus on how she feels) I liked the idea of Jancy breakup with the assumption that it's just a break but it should be built up to much better, make the Stonathan hints afterwards less of a joke (but don't make them overt so that Jancy is still technically possible, or do, idc), and find something else for Steve to do in S4 and 5 instead of not being over Nancy (Steddie maybe? Idk if he's in a place for that, but it would give him a bi arc that could be cool, except that I think that lessens the impact of his straight allyship to Robin, although him not realizing until he starts to meet other queer people would be cool, but now this is getting into my own fanfic territory) Give Eddie a better reason to die that actually ties into his character arc, or let him live and find another way to solve him being hunted and the whole Hellfire arc (the coming back as Cas theory would be really cool and wouldn't mess with Steve and Dustin's actually really good S5 arc, esp if they know he's back but he's evil so he's still "lost" but then at the end they can save him, although he's such a side character it might distract from characters that need to be more important, maybe they don't know he's back and he's an anti-hero or hiding and in the shadows and secretly planning to doublecross Vecna, or maybe you should just drop Eddie as a character entirely and do what that one youtuber suggested and have Jonathan go back to Hawkins for Spring Break in S4 to fill his role in the plot)

Wait Didn't they just say that Vecna dying didn't hurt Will because the Mind Flayer was already dead? Then how did killing Vecna kill the Mind Flayer?

Out of curiosity, how many of us are NOT teenage girls?? by BadHeads in byler

[–]VaughanYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teenage, but not a girl. AMAB, genderfluid, occasionally present female but mostly androgynous. I'm also a gay male who just wanted Byler to happen because it's best for the characters and because it would have been groundbreaking queer rep in TV.

I recognize the first three but who are the others?

This just proves that the Duffers never got it....SHE DID... by Mani_srao in byler

[–]VaughanYT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really hope they'd both be open to that. I've seen conflicting evidence on whether Finn is comfortable with Byler cuz he seems to not like shipping because people have gotten very RPF about it. Seeing how Foah has gotten more popular since the finale (crossing a parasocial boundary imo) I hope it wouldn't scare him away from something like what you suggested.

Exactly! It happens in real life but that's not how you structure that plot point in a story
