Ok but seriously. How can anyone hate Will. "because he called el stupid!" that was heat of the moment and if you still use that excuse to hate Will you should read the Will Byers secret files book and watch season 4. He loves El sm. He is literally in love with El's boyfriend (Mike) and he isn't even rude to El even tho he is jealous asf. And he doesn't even swear?? how sweet can somebody be? the only cuss word i heard him saying was "shit" ONCE. That boy literally wrote a whole letter to El saying he understands El. "He didn't even thank el for saving his life" yes because he was so grateful that he didn't even know how to thank her. And even though Mike is a jerk to Will most of the time, he keeps being friends with him.
The only reason people hate Will is because "he gets in the way of mileven" or because "he was annoying in season 3". Annoying? YOU CALL THAT BOY ANNOYING?!?!? he wanted to play d&d the whole summer because he is IN LOVE WITH MIKE. It was confirmed that he wants to be in the basement playing d&d for the rest of his life with Mike because he loves Mike and he misses his childhood. "He should just grow up" no. No he shouldn't. That boy missed like a month of his childhood, and when he got back from the upside down his friends already grew up and then he also got possessed which removed another month/week from his childhood.
"He's dramatic and he's a crybaby" no. he's not. When he was 5-8 or something he got abused by his own father, his own father called him names and slurs, and his own father used his mother for money and also treated his brother like trash. His own father also left him and totally forgot about him. When he was only 12 years old, he went missing and got stuck in another dimension for a month. That dimension (the upside down) was cold as fuck, and dark as fuck. Let's not forget the fact he didn't eat, drink or do his daily things for a month long meaning he could have died. He was almost dead by the way, if Joyce was maybe like 10 minutes too late he could have died. He was also freezing to death. And while he was in that dimension, a monster who was 2.44 cm tall (or something like that) and with like 1000 sharp teeth was trying to kill him. That thing was also fast as fuck and aggresive as fuck.
While he was in that dimension, his bullys (Troy and James) just kept calling him slurs and names and making fun of him. When he finally got out of that dimension after like a month, he started to get episodes that actually made him feel like he was back in the upside down. And then, he got POSSESSED by some shadow thing for a week/month. After his mother saved him, he could still feel the mindflayer/vecna for years. And in season 5, he is most likely going to suffer again since he is going to get a huge role. And keep in mind that he is literally gay in the 80s. The 80s was a very very homophobic time. And he is also in love with his taken best friend.
And people think they have the right to call him dramatic and a crybaby after everything he has gone through? if those people went through all of this they would have cried 24/7. I can remember that Will only had 6 crying scenes by the way.
I'll defend Will Byers no matter what and Will antis aren't welcome. I've spoken.
