Byler in the Trailers for Stranger Things

(part one: seasons 1 and 2)

all the stranger things trailers basically revolve around byler dude its crazy

Some things I want to say before getting into it:

1) I'm only going to talk about just the trailers available on netflix right now, no teasers/recaps

2) In the trailers, they almost always manage to have some dialogue or a snippet of one of byler's heart-to-hearts included (I'll reference back to this when it occurs), this applies to more than one so I wanted to say it here

3) I had to break this up into multiple parts cause it is too long :)

Stranger Things 1 (Trailer)

first two people who talk are mike and will (this applies to the show as well AND the first two characters we see talk one-on-one are mike and will)

when the boys are looking for will, mike says this, which isn't in the actual show - this is too funny bro we get to see what he was actually thinking in this moment - not how his lifes just started but how this random ass girl isnt will 💀 (i love el, his thinking not mine lol)

"[Mike] That's not Will."

when we hear mike talking in the trailer, its usually about will (these are all the times he talks, theres literally ONE TIME he isnt talking to or about will (7th one - "You're in trouble, aren't you?"))

STOP THE SUBTITLES CALL HIM HOOPER 😭😭😭

2. Stranger Things 2 (Trailer)

Mike always talking about will again (also 1st one is the first time we hear someone talk AGAIN)

the heart-to-hearts inclusion (dialogue and snippets from both)

"Maybe all of this is happening for a reason." "[Will] They don't understand."

also it's interesting they use the instance in this heart-to-heart where el is referenced.

"Eleven would. She always did."

notice: mike refers to her as "eleven", which he often does when talking to will about her - he even does this in s4 with this scene:

"Maybe Eleven would've taken me with her and things would be different, but..."

its weird that around will he doesn't want to refer to his gf/future gf in a loving way at all, not even saying her nickname that literally everyone refers to her as, including will. he could have easily said "el" in season 4 cause will LITERALLY ONLY REFERS TO HER AS THAT. and like... he could also have easily called her el in s2 as well?? will would still have known who you were talking about. or you could have TOLD HIM that that's her nickname.

[magicalwastelands]

I think one thing that makes Byler so distinct is the way that they complete each other’s thoughts without even trying.

“You know on a- a view-master when it gets, like…” “…caught between two slides?”

“We can’t take any chances. We need to assume the worst. The Mind Flayer is back.” “Yeah. And if he is, he’d want to attach himself to someone again.”

“Well, no, it’s not just a video game, it’s a video game console.” “It’s basically America’s answer to Nintendo.”

“Some sort of facility.” “A fence, a building.”

“Are you really questioning Suzie, right now?” “She’s a genius, Jonathan.”

Seriously, you could read these quotes one after the other and assume that they came from the same person. They’re like couplet statements then clarifications. And they do it all the time in season 4. I wonder if this is a subtle reason why Byler had a rise in popularity after s4 - they’re so in sync without even trying (couple behavior)!

mike and will go to a haunted house!!!

for day 1 of @bylerween2023 🎃🎃

[magicalwastelands]

Ok I'm bringing this back cause what the actual fuck was going on here?

Like what happened during that summer? Why did they split off from Lucas and Max? Did this happen every time they went to the cinema? Why... the eye contact and the lip looking? 🤨 gay as hell dude

(Of course I already know WHY but I like ppl to suffer with me, my miwi 😭)

[magicalwastelands]

When I finish this run of BG3 I'll finish that one video I almost finished back in June. (Mike's room analysis)

[magicalwastelands]

I only just realized that in season three, Mike was like “hey why are you donating your D&D books? How will you play?” And Will just basically went “There is no point in playing D&D without you, so I just won’t play until we see each other again, and i’ll use yours.”

and then Mike went and joined a new D&D group while Will was gone.

byler

byler is almost always paralleled to romantic couples and not paralleled to friendships. i was thinking about this the other day and turns out you guys voted for byler on the poll so HERE IT IS :)))

minor spoiler alert for: heartstopper, harry potter, stranger things

i'll be talking about how byler parallels to:

romantic pairings in stranger things

romantic pairings in other shows/movies (ive posted a more in-depth post about taoelle [romantic pairing in heartstopper] and byler being similar - if u want you can go check that out!!)

NOT friendships in stranger things (how it rarely parallels to other friendship pairings in the show compared to romantic ones)

romantic pairings in stranger things

jopper (joyce / hopper)

a. jopper has some scenes that parallel byler (this is just one example):

"I think we make a pretty good team." "I think it'll be easier if we're... we're a team."

b. also this music (you might know this already lol but this is just SO CRAZY LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN "oh, it's joyce and hopper" AND THE SAME SUBTITLES ARE SHOWN DURING SCENES WITH MIKE AND WILL???!? WHAT?????????????????????) [ website ]

[tender, emotional music swells] [tender, emotional music playing]

rockie (robin / vickie)

a. robin is the only confirmed gay character other than will and her crush on vickie is being shown as possibly reciprocated in the last ep of s4

[tender, emotional music playing] --- also another example of these subtitles

b. vickies relationship with her boyfriend is similar to mikes relationship with el (btw i loooove el im not saying shes similar to that guy, just talking about her relationship with mike and the love triangle imagery)

then theres these scenes of them being DIRECTLY positioned between established couples like.... these scenes are too crazy

2. romantic pairings in other shows/movies - this is strange because why would their dynamic be so similar to couples dynamics? if theyre just supposed to be friends???

harry potter - ron and hermione (I DO NOT SUPPORT JK R*WL*NG)

a. best friends to lovers trope / slowburn trope

in the final harry potter movie, ron and hermione have their first kiss. in the final season of stranger things, mike and w-

b. these scenes...

c. love triangles - ron thinks hermione likes harry over him (similar situation with will but mike and el are actually dating)

Heartstopper - nick and charlie

a. blue and yellow

b. this in the actual books - nick is the heart of the rugby team and mike is the heart of the party:

"You're the heart and centre of this team, Nick." "You're the heart."

c. bonus: i recently bought the heartstopper colouring book (its suuuper cute btw love it) and theres this???? is it giving paladin and cleric vibes???????

3. friendship pairings

lucas and dustin (im only gonna talk abt them for examples of friendship pairings)

a. season 1 - last ep, mike is super worried about will and immediately jumps up to see and hug him (he says that will is awake 3 times), while dustin and lucas are asleep

[snoring] "Guys. Guys, he's up. Will is up. Guys, Will's up."

also omg in this scene dustin calls her a "wizard" and then mike CORRECTS HIM SAYING SHES MORE LIKE YODA I CAN'T... CAUSE WILL IS THE WIZARD NOT EL..... ALSO BRO YODA??? THAT GIRL YOU KISSED AND ARE GOING TO DATE FOR LIKE A YEAR AND SAY YOU LOVE HER IS LIKE YODA???????

"She's basically a wizard." "More like a Yoda."

like bro... THIS UR GF???? LOVE OF YOUR LIFE???????????? YOUR LIFE STARTED BC OF HER?????? (feat. will being the wizard el can't replace in mikes head...)

b. different reactions to will's "body" being pulled out of the lake

lucas says that it must be will. mike doesn't accept the body being will's. (NOT LUCAS SLANDER DON'T WORRY I LOVE HIM)

shocked, has to lean on the truck to calm himself down, gets mad at el because she couldn't help him save will, is in tears, doesn't care about eleven in this moment because he's so sad that will is "dead"

(also sorry for the bad vid quality)

mike is obviously the most affected one by the "body" being found.

c. whenever something happens with will and mike, the others know they shouldn't interrupt, like this (lucas knows not to follow mike out):

and this (they're walking behind the others, having their own private conversation):

and also this (max doesn't get it but the others know mike and will want to be alone):

d. if mike, will, dustin and lucas are all just friends, and mike also said this to dustin (talking about lucas at first) ...

(Mike: He's not my best friend. [sighs] I mean, he is, but so are you. And so is Will.)

... then why is the relationship between mike and will so different and singled out to the relationship between ANY OTHER PAIRING BETWEEN THE FOUR if lucas, dustin and will are all supposed to be mike's best friends??

[magicalwastelands]

OMG I NEVER NOTICED THIS!!?! but something i did notice in the same scene: the girl who danced with will had the same pin on as nancy did in s4!! idk if this means anything lol just pointing it out!!!!! :)

hey that's a pretty pin u got there Max

now what does it remind m- oh

hmmm..
