#idc what reddit dudebros say mac and dennis are destined to bang at one point or another

I just rewatched season 15 tonight with my best friend who hadn’t seen it yet. He isn’t in the fandom and isn’t one for shipping, which makes him a non biased opinion for me. When we finished that last episode he said something interesting. He said they seem to setting up something for your guys (Mac and Dennis) he thinks Mac letting go of his focus with identity and the Catholic Church, the comment from Dee about falling in love means Mac will get a boyfriend next season.

He said Dennis is a complete mess, he so full of bullshit about himself, his life, other people and even reality (still talking to the castle after being discharged from the hospital ) that he’s not in the same place as the others. Hence the ending shot. He thinks Mac getting a boyfriend is gonna take Dennis on a journey. He thinks next season will end with Dennis realising he has feelings for Mac.

I was so happy when he said this. I asked if as a straight, casual viewer if this would bother him. (Straight men are very odd so I had to ask) he said no way. They have always been boardline with their friendship. It would almost be disappointing if they didn’t hook up because the fallout would be hilarious. He said they are like the older guys that claim to be flatmates but you know is code for life partners

that's awesome!! i've seen plenty of people on reddit who despise any form of macdennis or just gay content on the show in general, especially in regards to dennis, so to hear that a straight, casual viewer would be almost disappointed if they never did anything with that makes me hopeful that the majority of the audience would hopefully feel the same, or at least not openly hate on it.

now, moving onto what he thinks for future seasons: i totally agree! i always go back and forth between whether mac and dennis will ever be addressed in the show or not, but, if we're just looking at the writing and betting on that, it one hundred percent makes sense. (again, i don't know what the hell rcg will do with it or if they have any plans at all with mac and dennis BUT, just with what we've been given, especially the last few seasons, it's insane.)

there were big episodes from season 11 to season 13 leading up to the finale with mac finds his pride, where mac finally confronts his sexuality and being proud. season 14 is a weird season, in which we deal with a ton mac versus dennis conflict. like a Lot. to the point where all the dudebros on reddit were saying how there was way too much and they need to do something with it already or move on. and then season 15 highlights mac's identity problems again, and how he's learning to let them go, and charlie got to deal with his father storyline and frank learned to accept charlie as his son. (dee's was ambiguous and is tied in with her acting thing i'm sure, but kind of dropped off in the middle of the season.)

dennis's is going to be interesting because you're right, he's living in denial of almost every aspect of his life and he lives that denial as truth and has a hard time accepting it as any other way. he didn't get vaccinated because he thinks his body is perfect and he could get rid of sickness at will, as we've learned in the gang gets quarantined, he didn't even believe he had covid up until he was in the hospital and he could no longer deny it. the whole conversation they had in the bar about how mac should just "meet a guy, fall in love, and shut the hell up about it" sticks out so much because they didn't end up doing anthing with it this season, because this season was about charlie and his found family. and that end scene where dennis is the only one not in the group with the others is so glaring. i really hope season 16 is what your friend thinks, because mac getting a boyfriend and dennis addressing his delusions about life are both things they hinted toward heavily this season, and if they get addressed together, then that would be amazing.
