Anyway.

Thought the episodes were good. Think this season as whole has been consistently good. Can’t wait for the last episode.

Are they? I haven’t seen much about that. Do you have a source?

Chapter Seven: The Bridge (Will comes out) now rated just 6.3 on IMDb

may become the WORST episode in all 5 seasons by the end of the week

I mean do you use X or Reddit?

I have young children who are all over this so get a more varied and informed persepctive than perhaps your age-group specific view

The phrase "Byler fans raging" refers to the significant social media

backlash from fans of the hypothetical romantic pairing (or "ship")
between the Stranger Things characters Will Byers and Mike Wheeler (Byler).
This rage stems from recent comments by the cast members (Gaten
Matarazzo and Finn Wolfhard) that seemed to downplay the romance
possibility, leading many fans to believe the pairing will not become "canon"
in the final season.
Key reasons for the backlash include:
Downplaying Will's feelings: Fans are upset that cast comments and certain
scenes seem to minimize Will's established romantic feelings for Mike,
treating the emotional depth of his character arc as a mere "crush" or a joke.

Queerbaiting allegations: Many queer fans feel the show's creators have
deliberately teased the possibility of a Byler romance for years to attract an
LGBTQ+ audience (queerbaiting) without intending to deliver a satisfying,
explicit outcome.
Dissatisfaction with the writing: Beyond the shipping aspect, some fans are
angry about the general direction of the writing in recent volumes, feeling
that main characters were sidelined and important moments, such as Will's
coming out, were not given the intimate development they deserved.

Defensive reactions: The "rage" is part of an ongoing "fandom war" between
Byler shippers and those who support the established Mike and Eleven
relationship (Mileven). Byler fans are reacting to perceived invalidation of
their interpretation and sometimes homophobic comments from the anti-
Byler side.
Despite the frustration, some Byler fans remain hopeful that the pairing will
still become canon in the upcoming fifth and final season of the show.


Its all over all Social media platforms and not really that hard to find..

Yes, X, facebook, Instagram, Reddit and Fan sites.

I cant help you if you dont want to read other people's opinions rather than your own

Put the Guardian down and venture beyond your front door

Oh Nancy, I don’t read the Guardian. But nice try for thinking you know me. You originally cited the episode being the lowest rated on IMDB. Overall the majority of poor reviews are because it is a filler episode and hold the same opinion I do on the episode, it felt flat.

Given there are some who didn’t enjoy the Will coming out Arc but that is not the reason the majority of people rated it low. So you see, I have read other peoples opinions other than my own. Again nice try, sorry you fell flat.

If you can bring me a source which categorically proves otherwise, fine, but until then you carry on with your childlike social media.

Just finished the episodes, i thought Wills scene was really lovely. People should remember as well its set in the 80s and being gay would be much harder to admit to

Anyhoo, loving the whole thing and looking forward to the conclusion

Yes or what Livia said

You also have to factor in that LTs algorithm on his social media would 100% be the polar opposite of most that enjoy the show and generally being a decent person. The cookies don’t lie.

I'm happy for Holly to have a greater role. We know all the existing characters so well already. It's good to shake it up a little
