many takes on madwheeler are ooc yes i agree but like. you cannot just ignore the existence of the classroom nosebleed scene. mike was sitting next to max for a reason. they could've put someone else there, like lucas or dustin, who are definitely closer to her than mike. BUT THEY DIDN'T. they put mike there AND MADE IT A POINT TO FOCUS ON HIM NOTICING HER NOSEBLEED. why. Why Is That. you can complain about madwheeler all you want but you can't just. turn a blind eye to the fact that the two are undeniably paralleled to one another and are probably going to interact next season. lol
