LUCAS SINCLAIR AND MAX MAYFIELD — in Stranger Things 4 | “Chapter Eight: Papa”

[gayofthefae]

Funny how El isn't in 4x04 at all so you can really immerse yourself in Mike and Will's scenes but Will is in every single one of their without fail.

Looks up and down repeatedly:

KEEPS STARING INTENSELY AFTER WILL LOOKS AWAY:

👀 Is that…? What’s he—

?… It’s— Wait. Me?… Are you sure?… I thought that was for—

Okay if you’re sure… 🫣😅😥🫠

These past few months, I've been so lost without you. It's just, I'm so different from other people, and…when you're- when you're different, sometimes…you feel like a mistake. But you make me feel like I'm not a mistake at all. Like I'm better for being different. And that gives me the courage to fight on. If I was mean to you, or it seemed like I was pushing you away, it's because I'm scared of losing you, like you're scared of losing her. And if I was going to lose you, I… I think I'd rather just get it over with quick. Like ripping off a Band-Aid. So, yeah, I need you, Mike... and I always will.

My name's Mike. Short for Michael. Maybe we can call you "El." Short for Eleven.

Netflix has already confirmed they won’t do episode by episode for Stranger Things. I remember a while back they were talking about considering doing it more with the rollouts for their content going forward, and it just so happened ST was brought up and they said with only one season left, and with how well the show has done with being released in whole for the most part, they never intend to change it beyond doing split volumes. So we can pretty much rule out weekly releases for s5.

I guess it really depends on how long the final episode is. I honestly didn’t like the way s4 was split into 2 with 7 episodes for Vol. 1 and then 2 episodes for Vol. 2. It just felt a little uneven.

If they were to split s5 more evenly, with like Vol. 1 being episodes 1-3, Vol. 2 with 4-7, and then Vol. 3 or the final part or whatever being episode 8 with it being over 3 hours potentially, then I don’t think that’s too bad honestly.

I like the idea of volumes because it means the hype can last a while between releases. One episode a week almost sucks more just bc you get like over an hour and then have to wait a week. It’s just not enough to sit back and enjoy imo. I do generally like streamings format for that reason.

But I also don’t like the idea of s5 altogether with the hype dying down after 2 weeks or a month at most. With 2 volumes we could get 3 months of hype, with a 1-2 month waiting period in between. And with 3 volumes we could get like 4 months of hype in. And maybe the wait would be shorter in between in that case with less than a month before the next volume drops.

I could honestly see this happening though if 5x08 is over 3 hrs long and the rest of the episodes are averaging 1.5.

Hi bylers 🫶🏻 what are your thoughts on this?

[gayofthefae]

In putting Will in the beginning of it and cutting back to him, they, once again made it so that Mike wasn't saying "I love you" to El. He wasn't committing to El. He was leaving Will. And that's all they wanted you to be thinking about it.

Is he filling El's heart? It doesn't matter, because all you can think about is "is he breaking Will's?"

Will should not have been there for it to be romantic. If you establish that the action that you've been building to as the big romantic gesture will crush someone's soul...and then you do it?

Yeah, that was not meant to make us feel good.
