I think maybe mike being paralleled to father figures is because his relationship with el is being paralleled to his parents relationship and he acts like his dad
@@LoganPAILLL Yes, ESPECIALLY in the dinner scene! It directly parallels the first episode where his mother leaves the table and says "enjoy your chicken, Ted" because he sat and continued eating
also, someone pointed out on a tumblr post the Mike never really calls her a girl when he talks about her. Then I noticed that he usually refers to her as superhero, superman or person rather than girl, heroine or Supergirl or superwoman or Wonder Woman
Another thing in el’s bedroom is that the lighting is very bright. Not dark like the fight between mike and will in season 3. Just something I wanted to point out but I love your analysis videos
I saw another post where it pointed out the scene of them making out, the curtains are closed, but when the truth comes out, it's so bright because the curtains are open!
I’ve always been very decided on the fact that Will is most likely gay and likes Mike- they do make that abundantly clear to the audience in my opinion. But until your analysis vids, I haven’t been fully convinced that Mike’s feelings were reciprocated just because of my own doubts on whether the Duffer Brothers would be ballsy enough to give some more lgbtq representation- but yeah you have opened my eyes lol. I definitely agree now and before watching, that Eleven’s arc is steered towards her independence (big fan of platonic El) but your analysis of Mike has put the puzzle together arguably quite clearly- great video :-) we’ll see what happens in season 5
I always say Mileven as Just another Stancy and Byler being Jancy. Like Jonathan being will, Nancy being mike and Steve being el. I also get how Mike can’t say “I love you” to people because of his parents and blah blah but Mikes letter to Will says otherwise. Also I was wondering if you could analyse the garage light flicker theory? I loved this
@@jarooe9658o explain it shortly: mike and will kissing in the upside down in the wheeler’s garage in s5 caused the garage lights to flicker in s1 episode 1 when will left the wheeler’s residence to go home
even though I love byler, will wasn’t supposed to start having a crush on mike until season two the light at the garage was just to sign a Demogorgon was near will in the upside down
@@looser765 he send a letter to will in season 2 I think or all the letters he didn’t send to will said love mike I can’t really remember sorry this was ages ago
This is why there is a deliberate set up with Eddie and Mike this season, you’re suppose to think about that. Eddie is also serving a purpose to further Dustin’s character development as well.
@@lesbianmindflayer absolutely! And the whole thing of eddie being known as the freak and preaching about how not embracing differences is what literally kills kids (like will, who hates himself bc hes different). I thought it was kind of bizarre how much they had eddie parallel will as a character. Even the whole thing where he projects onto el-- tons of ppl have been quick to point out how it was very similar to what eddie did with Nancy when he was talking to steve.
Always mentioned (by Mike) at least since season 1 started showing up visually between them at the end of season 2. Always framed behind Mike’s head in season 3 and then season 4 is quite literally every scene. There is no scenes between Mike and El that Will isn’t there. Zero.
If it was unprompted why did they include a loud audio clip of them falling, instead of muting the track? If it wasn’t the intention why wasn’t it edited out? Also why is there behind the scenes clips of this extra with padding on for intentionally falling?
honestly el is so pretty in those scenes (but every scene too❤) but you could literally see she put on makeup for mikes when he first came. Also she saved the world mutiple times. Max was always right in the begining with mikes😂
Love ur vids!! I always found it so interesting in the show when, either Lucas or Dustin has interest in girls it was so OBVIOUS, jokes or just noticing them. Whereas you never hear of Mike liking any other girls but Eleven, not even any random girls passing by. It's always been so obvious to me, that Mike does not feel the same way about girl's the way the other boys do.
I love your vids! I would love a series where you go through interviews with the Duffers to point out hints they drop. So many times, I hear something they mention like c'mon this has to mean Byler lore!
okay so when will and mike are talking on the top of the car after burying the secret agent guy will talks about its hard to tell people "Who you really CARE about" who you really are (MIKE NODS AFTERWARD), and when el and mike fight he says he CARES for her so much. Idk i just find it really interesting!!!
Remember to keep comments civil 🫶
This was such a fun video to make, I can’t wait to analyze more couples too.
Is volume 2 still in the works?
can you analyze Max and Lucas relationship?❤

holy shit you are RIGHT.
@@LoganPAILLL Yes, ESPECIALLY in the dinner scene! It directly parallels the first episode where his mother leaves the table and says "enjoy your chicken, Ted" because he sat and continued eating
Literally all he had to say was “and you’re a somebody” but he just HAD TO say “and you’re a superhero”….cmon Mike.
It was actually improvised by the actor so I wonder if he actually thought so hard about this lol
@@zethayn HE WAS EXTREMELY PROUD OF IT
@@zethayn I think it was improvised in the final episode but not the initial fight
also, someone pointed out on a tumblr post the Mike never really calls her a girl when he talks about her. Then I noticed that he usually refers to her as superhero, superman or person rather than girl, heroine or Supergirl or superwoman or Wonder Woman
Ngl that's a little gay mike

You should check out the films that inspired stranger things the Duffers watch quite a bit of queer films!
this was exactly my situation too!
I think Mike and El are better as friends.
I REALLY hope will and Mike ends up togerher
2:14 “I need you to find the difference between these 2 videos.”
“They’re the same video.”

What's the garage flicker theory?

Wait which letter???
@@looser765 he send a letter to will in season 2 I think or all the letters he didn’t send to will said love mike I can’t really remember sorry this was ages ago
i honestly feel so bad for el..she deserves the world
Even though I ship will and Mike. I do think Mike cares for El as a friend, but is to scared to end their romantic relationship.
i just want mike to be happy.
el deserves sm better. me and el a better couple tbh🤷♀️
True, she deserves someone who loves her. Mike can't be that guy, bc he's gay.
THE LIFE IS STRANGE REFERENCE HELP I'M DYING
I also think its funny that Mike's whole thing that he struggles with is running away when that was eddies whole thing too

The talk in El's room makes no sense when looked closely, thanks for pointing it out. I loved this!
Hope you do one for Volume 2, you'll get a field day with that
Eventually I plan on it! I was originally gonna make it all one big video but decided to split it so I could work on other projects
Will is literally so sweet I swear!!
agreed
my byler brainrot is so real
I love your analysis but imagine being the extra who genuinely just fell unprompted and seeing yourself in this video
If it was unprompted why did they include a loud audio clip of them falling, instead of muting the track? If it wasn’t the intention why wasn’t it edited out? Also why is there behind the scenes clips of this extra with padding on for intentionally falling?
Off topic but- I want mike’s airport outfit in season 4, it slaps hard for me
I absolutely love your videos
I appreciate it 🫶😭
Thinking about the arrow pointing down - wasn’t Will’s room downstairs?
