the previous leaked runtimes were accurate for vol1 however vol2 was cut down significantly. many scenes genuinely felt incomplete (like how mike just stared at joyce is the radio station when will was unconscious, something had to have been cut there it makes no sense for him to just stand there no emotion like a piece of paper)

context fyi in the photos

edit:

i also was really confused about will and max?? since when were they besties

INCOMING VOL2 SPOILERS

although the coming out scene was god awful with the entire group of what 20 people there, it was needed. it wasn’t will coming out on his own terms, but him coming out of pure fear. we didn’t see what vecna showed him but i interpreted it as if he did not come out and get his biggest fear (being gay in the 80s) out of the way, it would jeopardize the group which obviously he doesn’t want. and him saying that mike is his tammy had to be self protection bc no way he’s comparing a hall crush full of idealization and idolization to a friend ship spanning several years that has so much love and care in the relationship ifykwim

im still thinking about how it panned to mike and focused on him despite the other party members being in frame when will said “i don’t like girls” then panning to lucas and will who we know are canonically straight, WITH GIRLFRIENDS, when will says “not like you do”. there’s no way that wasn’t intentional to hint at mike’s still unconfirmed but highly speculated sexuality
