Lumax is the GOAT for me. Max and Dustin should have under platonic besties because while I don't see them as a couple, they do share some great chemistry specifically in the first 2 episodes of season 4.

[yeahnono]

jopper being number one just makes so much sense

[DSds..]

I don't think Byler would be endgame, but they are for sure underrated.

[DarkDuskWCUE]

“Stranger thing has never really given any signs that Mike reciprocates feelings..”

Mikes lip glances + ass glances: Am I a joke to you? 👁️👄👁️

[zzzsleeps]

as a byler i respect ur opinion but personally i think if you look for it carefully you WILL find proof that it isnt one sided, but only s5 will determine their resolution.

[therayosunshinexx]

ran to the comments cause i knew it was going to be war 💀 this was a brave video to put out lol

anyways, you mentioned mileven being set up since s1- but you could argue jancy had also been set up since s1 in a similar way. i do personally think jancy or single nancy is endgame, but s4 was just… weird, and the tension with steve leads me to believe hes bones in s5.
then mileven being endgame doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me, given that mikes whole speech in s4 to her, the “resolution” to their conflict, was based off of wills own veiled confession. and wills lie has yet to be resolved.

the last shot of s4 also looks like some hefty foreshadowing. jancy, byler, jopper, then el standing by herself holding a dead bouquet of flowers- aka the same flowers mike had brought her s4e2.

theres more i could say but i really dont need to put more of an essay out there. i enjoy ur content dude keep doing what ur doing 🙏

[geenamarie]

I'm a BIG NO for Steve and Nancy... sorry not sorry. 🤷‍♀️I think their romantic past should stay in the past, as first crush and they should remain as friends. Nancy needs someone who supports her and not following her to help her like a lost puppy... Nancy is too strong for Steve no matter how many times he "redeems" himself.

Favorite couple: Lucas and Max ALL THE WAY!!!❤❤

[not_iris.]

Heyy! okay honestly I’m really proud of this essay I wrote on the full video of this so I’m just gonna copy and paste it here in case it changes anyone’s mind!

Great video! I agree with most of your opinions. However, I will say a lot of people who like mileven will say that they have been building it up since the beginning. Personally I disagree with this. In my personal opinion they didn’t really build anything. Let me explain. They were already together in the season one finally, meaning all the build up to their relationship was before this. In my understanding they were still “together” in season 2 since they both still clearly loved each other. Flash forward to season 3. They were obviously together at the beginning. They break up in the 2nd episode. (Which I will say did not seem very sad.) anyway, an important scene I’m talking about is what happens in the finale. At the end of the episode, El kisses mike. Now something I think is interesting is his reaction. When el kisses him, he has his eyes open. After she pulls away, we get a shot of him lingering for a few seconds. This confirms that we were meant to pay attention to his reaction. As we get the shot of his reaction in my opinion he looks like he has a realization. I also just rewatched it while writing this and I just noticed that mike shakes his head before el turns around. I will also note that the song that plays is ‘The First I love You’ I just think it’s weird every word but love is capitalized. After rewatching, (this could be irrelevant) this all happened in front of an open closet. I highly suggest that you rewatch this scene with this perspective and no bias. After this, they include a scene of mike hugging his mom. He looks like he is not sad, but more scared and shocked. SEASON FOUR: okay the first thing I can think of is when mike and will are arguing in rink o mania mike says “we’re friends, WERE FRIENDS” like will meant anything by it. I think he was trying to convince himself. When they get home and el and mike have their big argument there’s not much to say here besides, this proves my point that they were not building up mileven, it hit its peak in season 1/2 and they were not building it up, they were derailing it. Anyway, the next thing that sticks out is the way mike and will looked away from each other after there talk. This is one of the most COMMON romantic tropes out there. I will also point out that the “cool, cool” is a parallel to s1 mileven . This shows the love passing over. The same way steve and Nancy had the “is it too tight?” Moment Jonathan sand Nancy had in season 1. Next, when their burying the dead body, mike does a triple take of will. The painting scene is important but, it doesn’t actually prove anything on mikes side . So we’re gonna skip that bc this is already to long . We see later that Dustin says “ mike was complaining about the phone” when we know he doesn’t use that to communicate with el, just will. So he did want to reach out. The scene where mike el and will reunite parallels robin and Vickie. Mike bring Vickie el being Vickie’s boyfriend and will bring robin. We find out later that Vickie and her bf break up. When mike confesses his love for el, he does it after will tells him to. It’s not actually the thing that helps her pull through. Maybe bc she knows he’s lying(?) anyway she ignores him after showing they’re not on good terms. At the end shot, mike and will stand together. And the same flowers mike gave el at the airport are wilted. That’s the end! There is more I would like to say, but I’m tired I suggest you look at the scenes I’ve talked about to see if you agree, but I still respect you if you ship mileven! I also js dk what the point of will having an unrequited crush on mike would be. In conclusion, this is why I think mileven will not be endgame :)

[Harriet_acting]

Tbh personally I think byler should go on the could be good together bit. I watch a range of different tv shows and I’m also an actress myself and many lgbtq couples (and just heterosexual couples in general) r seen as 1 sided at first before actually getting to see the other character’s perspective and so far we’ve mostly seen wills perspective and tiny snippets of mikes but not enough to actually understand what’s going thru his head and I hope and wish we can see his perspective in s5. We also have to factor in it’s the 80’s and ppl weren’t as open to the idea of supporting lgbtq than ppl r today. And this isn’t bc I’m biased and I ship byler, I also ship mileven equally and I believe they both have a chance of being endgame.

[თაკონინოშვილი]

There's NO WAY some of yall still think stancy will be endgame. That ship is piece of sh1t

[the.xu.tao.]

how th is mileven in endgame 💀 their relationship is more toxic than stancy’s

[jayngb]

them forcing Stancy in s4 were some of the worst parts of that season lmao

[bluroseJustVibing]

you should totally do more unique tierlists like this! this video was fun to watch.

[demobat-rm]

It's sad but not surprising that all the reasons listed in favor of stancy are solely about Steve and his arc. It's typical of Steve fans to see Nancy just as a prize, an object, that Steve should get back because he changed.
Nancy is a main character in her own right, who has been more important than Steve from the very beginning and with an arc that has been consistent over the course of the series, unlike Steve's whose writing is heavily influenced by fanservice. It makes no sense for her story to end with her agreeing to birth Steve's excessive number of children and settle for the white picket fence life she didn't want. And Steve's supposedly great arc would be more meaningful if he learned that you don't change because you get a reward in the end (and women aren't trophies).

[ShantelSmith-sg]

Byler on yellow is crazyy, your opinion ig

[Nrr]

I love Steve and Nancy as individual characters but I don’t think they are a good couple. I mean all of the reasons you gave for the other endgame couples being endgame, you could say the same thing about Jancy. If anything, Jancy have had the most screen time and development together out of all of the couples apart from Jopper and Mileven. Stancy just haven’t had enough development together to convince me that they are a good couple. Most of their scenes are either fighting or flirting, which sounds like a fling instead of a strong long term relationship. I think people are just reigniting Stsncy because Jonathan fell off in S4, but prior to S4 no one was really passionate about Stancy getting back together. Everyone was ok with Jancy. If Jonathan has an epic resurgence in S5 then everyone will change their mind. Watch.

[DecAllTimeAlways]

No love for Argyle? He and Eddie made Stranger Things S4 so fun but only Eddie gets credit for it. Jonathan and Argyle should be put under platonic besties.

[jeff]

Byler on yellow is a disgrace!
I tell you this now you do not stay with someone with hair like that unless you love them. I will not have it.

[AvatarLover]

Bruh it’s his opinion you shouldn’t be getting mad and unsubscribing just bc he put a ship lower than you thought he should😭🙏 yall are crazy
