I hate when people decide a character is shitty when it’s the writing they should be criticizing
Nancy isn’t a bitch/jerk/slut what have you because she didn’t talk to Steve enough. She is /seventeen years old/. Neither she nor Steve are emotionally mature. The season took place over a period of /days/. The monster hunting trio was criminally neglected by the writers all around. The main focus was Eleven and Will and Max. This show has too few episodes for the number of main characters it has.
So much that people see wrong with how Nancy and Steve’s arcs played out can be fixed by imagining/writing missing scenes. That month after Eleven closed the gate? You can imagine Nancy, Steve, and Jonathan discussed any number of things with each other. Stop being lazy when the writers for the show already did that for us. This is a fandom, I’m sick of people bashing a female character when they could be creative and either create what they want or really analyze what the /writing/ did wrong. A character is not “ruined”, the writing is just lacking in some areas. Stop with your black and white thinking.
