‘Stranger Things’ Fandom Stands Divided Over THIS Important Couple

Published 07/21/2022, 8:30 PM EDT

There is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. It is love that has the power to heal all the hurt in the world. It is love that empowers us to move forward despite all the evil energy that’s holding us back. And well, what could explain this better than Netflix’s very popular series, Stranger Things! A gritty and sinister series on the periphery, it discusses rather important attributes pertaining to human emotions and embracing friendship and love in depth.

And the fourth outing was the most expressive of all. There were raw emotions, heartbreaks, and big revelations encompassed within the eight chapters of Stranger Things 4. For instance, the season saw Matthew Modine’s Dr. Brenner give up his life for his only family, El. Although she lost her papa, she got Hopper back. She also reunited with her long distance boyfriend Mike Wheeler. However, the most heartbreaking moment was between Will Byres and Mike. That van scene was so intense that fans suffered a breakdown as well.

Now, we do know for a fact that he is in love with his long best friend Mike, and that fans desperately want Byler to work out. But if that’s the case what about Eleven and Mike? Don’t they have beautiful chemistry as well? Well, we don’t know about you, but Redditors have mixed opinions about this couple.

Fans have mixed opinions about the future of Mike and Eleven in Stranger Things

Ahead of Stranger Things 5, fans have been enthusiastic about many theories that would lead the series forward. But the one, that has always been in the hot-topics is the love arc of Will, Mike, and Eleven. After it was officially confirmed that will is in love with Mike, everyone wants them to work out. Even actors like Brett Gelman are all in for Byler until it hurts someone. Well, don’t you think it will actually hurt our Eleven? That brings us to yet another question: Did Mike and Eleven even have chemistry?

Seemingly, while some fans believe it was only a show, others argue that Mike and Eleven is a match made in heaven. Although Eleven couldn’t express herself properly, Mike understood her really well. And it was because of Mike’s belief in her that she could disintegrate Vecna’s powers, well, at least for a little while. Other comments read:
