BAROU.

So… V2 of kinda sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I cried like a baby and its was fine for the most part I guess. (We don’t talk about Eddie here, I’m just going to pretend it didn’t happen) But I just couldn’t get myself to enjoy it after what they did with Will’s and Mike’s characters.

Did I have a little hope that Byler could be somehow a thing? Maybe I did.

But I’m not mad because of that, I’m mad because both of them were completely irrelevant once more. They clearly don’t know what to do with their characters and they just keep making it worse. I already disliked Mike in season 3 when he had been one of my favorites in seasons 1 and 2. I liked Mike because he was a good and caring friend who always was attentive and supportive. Now his only character trait seems to be that he’s El’s boyfriend. He’s not a friend of his friends anymore. You mean to tell me that Will is sitting right next to him in a closed space and he doesn’t even realize? You are telling me he’s just that oblivious of his surroundings? The same dude that back in seasons 1 and 2 was Will’s greatest support? The one that realized that something was wrong with him and stayed beside him for an entire season? Who slept beside him during his stay at the hospital? The one that said that befriending Will back in kindergarten was the best decision he’s ever made? No, that’s not the same character. They’re messing up Mike completely, and honestly at this point I don’t see any possibility for redemption in that sense. He will keep being El’s boyfriend and only focusing on her. They could’ve made him suspicious of Will’s speech in the van when he said that El commissioned the painting, because on her previous letter she had said that she had no idea what Will was paiting. They could’ve done something. They could’ve explained in some way why Mike was being so cold and honestly such a jerk to Will for no reason. They had the opportunity to do so many cool things with their supposed protagonist, but they didn’t. Mike is so oblivious and dumb recently it’s actually really sad.

And don’t get me started on Will because I will cry again. He’s my favorite, and even if he wasn’t allowed to be together with Mike, they could have at least gave him some relevancy. He could be back on his main character era. He could’ve had main plot importance. But no. He was sidelined. Again.

I only hope that he’s important in season 5, but honestly at this point I really doubt it. I’m so angry it’s unreal. I feel so stupid.

So don’t let them fool you. Mike isn’t the heart. Will is. Will is the heart.
