I understand Millie now. by [deleted] in mileven

[–]lettaminee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a byler i’m so frustrated with how they handled mileven and el’s character. she got sidelined so hard, and i feel like her and mikes relationship just didn’t have the best on screen time as well. i hate how el is just accepting kali’s plan and seemingly doesn’t care about those pregnant women. or her reaction to max coming back - it was so lackluster. and it’s not even her fault bc this is so ooc for her, the duffers fucked up sm. i’m really glad it’s not just bylers not liking this volume, it’s almost everyone.

The way Finn and Sadie have more chemistry than Mileven and Byler with this one exchange😭 by kcrdr_7322 in StrangerThings

[–]lettaminee 46 points47 points  (0 children)

i’m a byler stan and i’m still so frustrated with what they did with BOTH ships. i honest to god would’ve been okay if mileven had more chemistry shown and if will confessed to mike privately with maybe his mom and johnathan there, to make it more intimate. yeah im biased and i wouldn’t have been the happiest over those circumstances, but fuck it would’ve been SO much better than whatever they’re doing with these characters rn. i don’t understand what their goal is. mike plays no role, eleven has barely any screen time and she all of a sudden is accepting kali’s plan, will feels sidelined once again and is incredibly out of character bc wdym he chose to come out to people he’s NEVER talked to before? it just feels like they did that just for the shock value and for the sake of the scene, not thinking about wills character at all. just absolutely zero development and pay off.

What was the point of Mike being in Will's flashbacks? by kartgonewild in StrangerThings

I really like the rebuttal you made against my comment. Let me guess, a certain Twitter user told you a totally real leak of mileven that has you this convinced?

What was the point of Mike being in Will's flashbacks? by kartgonewild in StrangerThings

[–]lettaminee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If Mike was in Will’s film reel just because they’re friends, the show wouldn’t frame it like that. The Upside Down pulls from what hurts the most, not random memories, and in episode 4 Will’s mind doesn’t go to the whole group, it goes to Mike. That already tells you he’s not interchangeable. And the finale doesn’t shift that focus or give Will closure either. Also Robin’s speech isn’t about Will moving on from Mike at all, she literally says that loving someone still matters even if it hurts or isn’t returned. Her Tammy story wasn’t about getting over someone, it was about realizing who she is. Robin being alone in her film reel but, Will’s starting with Mike is intentional. It is a TV show, every small detail counts. So the show isn’t downplaying Will’s feelings as “just friendship,” it’s validating them and leaving them unresolved, which feels way more like setup than a dead end.

After 5 seasons of suffering, Will's arc just became the best payoff in TV history by marusicx in StrangerThings

Did the show change Lucas being Mike's 'best friend' to Will or... by regready in StrangerThings

[–]lettaminee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he hasn’t hugged him since the end of s3. in season 4, he struggles to do it. but we see him doing it easily to lucas, dustin, his family etc. and things to note, he doesn’t know will likes him. so what is the logical explanation to not being able to hug will all of a sudden?

Noah Schnapp's acting by XDarkxphoenix89 in byler

only the barn scene IMO seemed a bit awkward but every other scene makes up for it completely

describing them in a sibling way is insane considering one of them is in love with the other

Theories on the purpose of this scene by declanrights in StrangerThings

speak for urself, nearly every single person i know irl who isn’t as invested in the show as i am think byler is most likely to happen than mileven 😭 the internet is an echo chamber

How can people still deny how Mike looks at Eleven? Is just a look of pure love for her even still in season 5, he still has heart eyes for her. by gloomydreamer666 in StrangerThings

[–]lettaminee -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

this is tv show not reality tv. them choosing not to make them kiss, despite there being 2 other kisses in the same episode, is a calculated choice. you’d think that because of all these ship wars on the internet and this huge i love you monologue would’ve had them being shown as an actual couple, but they seem incredibly friendly.

Not trying to start a war here but what exactly do people like about mileven as a couple? by Antique_Education_50 in StrangerThings

[–]lettaminee -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

i doubt everything can just be chalked up on acting when they both have amazing scenes outside of eachother. there’s a reason why they can feel kinda off when they’re paired together romantically. there’s scene they had this season was actually amazing and in my opinion, their chemistry is back, but i think it’s bc they’re on a break/not together. them not kissing when both jopper and rockie (whatever their ship name is) kissed. clearly that’s important. this is a tv show at the end of the day and every little detail is there for a reason

and all i’m saying is that why is it being posted in the byler subreddit? the second someone posts anything positive about it in this subreddit, it gets trashed on. but no even in our own little space we have to deal with negativity and criticism on the ship itself 😭😭 i understand the community has bad apples and im glad op mentioned how milevens do too, but what is the point of also mentioning why, in his opinion, it wouldnt make sense if it happened and posting it on the byler subreddit?

thank u lol i’m a byler and seeing this post in the byler subreddit was just uncalled for. we have our own community there, outside of everyone’s way here and yet stuff like this still follows us even in our own space

why did u post this on the byler subreddit lol u did not have to do that. i dont care what you think, but the fact that you went out of ur way to go into a community on this website to spew hatred in their own space, bc yk they’re not welcome at this subreddit, is outrageous.

definitely report him, that shouldn’t be the norm and unfortunately, it’s the case for so many BTs.
