Reddit people telling Who are their fav characters and why are killing me
Could you like something about Mike, not his relationship with El? (Also I’m not seeing him respecting El too often, they haven’t understood each other since one scene in s1 and the almost the entire s1 was Mike treating El like a machine)
And El did ”let” the bad shape her. Like you are explaining in your second sentence. That was the bad shaping her. You can try to do the right thing and still be shaped by the bad at the same time.
But seriously, Mike deserves to be a loved/liked character on his own! He’s my favorite too, but because of how he treats Will and loves Will and understands Will and respects Will! It’s because in general Mike is kind and caring. And how he struggles to grow up and conform and he has mental health issues but he still tries his best even if he ends up fucking up some things sometimes. I love how diverse and complex he is. I love the take charge attitude and how smart he is. I love how much he loves storytelling and DnD. He’s so interesting and in s5 I wanna see inside his mind and I want his mental health issues to be dealt with. I want him to get a little more loving attention from his family, I want him to accept himself and I want him to feel free to love whoever he loves and show it in ways he wants.
(That is how you answer the question ”Who’s your favorite character and why?”)
