#I’m frustrated like a mother would be towards Mike. still love him dearly and want to see him do better

Kinda wild how many talking opportunities that Will poses to Mike during their fights. And not about themselves - about anything else - and yet, Mike always finds a way to bring it back to Will. In the rain fight, Will brings up being in the mood to play D&D, Dustin, and El. In the Rink-O-Mania fight, he brings up the bullying, El lying to him, and the letters. Mike had all the chances to segue into some argument over them, but what does he say?

“You’re destroying everything, and for what? So you can swap spit with some stupid girl?” “El’s not stupid! It’s not my fault you don’t like girls!”

“I didn’t know she was lying to you!” “Which is why you decided to be a douche to her all day?” “I wasn’t being a douche!” “You were! You were - you were rolling your eyes, you were - you were moping, you were barely talking, you basically sabotaged the whole day!” “Well, she was lying to you, Mike! Straight to your face, ever since you got here!”

Like, Michael. Dude. Stay on topic. Will even tries to redirect him in the Rink-O-Mania fight, like, hey, this is about El, remember? but Mike can’t seem to get the memo. Just after this, he quickly turns right back around to discuss “well, what about us?”

Keep Will out of the forefront of your mind challenge failed spectacularly, Mike.
