#i got the numbers for the shows runtime off of reddit and it sounds pretty accurate

"but mileven has been built up over the first 4 seasons. they wouldn't throw away all that"

Although I think that byler has also been built up over the last 4 seasons let's hear these people out.

Seasons 1-4 of stranger things have about 35 hours worth of content with 22 hours in the first 3 seasons and 13 hours within the 4th

When stranger things 5 comes out I expect (and I could be wrong) at least 2 hour long episodes. Considering they've been filming since January with few delays and are only half way through the season there must be a lot to film.

So we're left with a rough prediction of 16 hours worth of content (which is a pretty lowball estimate)

That's 16/51 hours dedicated to the season 5 plotline which is 31.373 percent of the shows entire runtime

Even if byler was something that the duffers did on a whim for the final season it would still have time to properly develop as a relationship. I have full respect for mileven shippers but please stop talking about us as if we're totally delusional.

so there’s gonna be 8 movie length episodes…. but no time to develop byler? is 8 movies not enough time? is 8 movies rushed? will it be too fast for you guys?
