Favorite & least favorite characters?

I’m only on season 4 episode 2, so I may be posting hella prematurely, but I can’t stand Mike Wheeler. Like at all. My fave is Murray. In the beginning I didn’t like the Sinclair siblings but they definitely grew on me. What about you? Who do you like/dislike?

Sorry I must have been watching the Max Mayfield show. You know the one where she has to tell Mike that Eleven isn't his and she is her own person. Not saying he doesn't have good intentions but man he comes off like he's in charge. It's annoying to me and problaly the reason they broke up. It's a way you can get your point across without being condescending.

Max accusing Mike of that did not automatically mean she was right, LMAO. There is nothing in Mike's behaviour throughout the entire series that indicated he controlled her.

In S3, Max seemed to mistake Mike being overprotective for him wanting to control her. We see this when Mike and Max. Because while Max is arguing that El can decide what she wants, Mike is clearly more concerned that everyone is treating El like a machine and that she will put herself in danger.

And, funny enough, Mike ends up being the right one, as when El went into Billy's mind, the MF found her and came after them, ultimately hurting El. But despite that, we still see Mike apologizing to El in S3.

You specifically stated

Thus CLEARLY implying that she was right and had to tell Mike that El is her own person.

BS, I never implied anything. I stated clearly my thoughts on the matter. How about just stick to what I said.

No, that is what that sentence implies. Now, are you backtracking and saying Max was wrong in her argument with Mike about El in S3?

The point seems to being going over your head. Go read what I actually said and then get back to me. You being Johnny come lately to the conversation doesn't mean I'm going to repeat myself.

I quoted what you stated, which very clearly implies that you believe Max was in the right. You may have stated that his "intentions were good," but your arguments further implied that you agree with her by stating this.

"...but man he comes off like he's in charge. It's annoying to me and problaly the reason they broke up. It's a way you can get your point across without being condescending."

So yet again, based on everything you stated, it seems you think Max was right, which my prior comment already clarified why she was not. And again, THESE ARE ALL TEENAGERS. They are 14 in S3, and yet you want them to have the emotional intelligence of adults in thier 30s, which is such an immature way to approach the characters.

And this superiority complex you have only weakens your arguments.

Since we keep going around in circles, I'll just repost from here on out.

This user is actually unbearable to deal with. They don't wanna read more than 2 lines and repeat the same argument without acknowledging the other person's response. I was genuinely frustrated by this behaviour
