Thats the beauty of it, that its just up to the audiences interpretation.
one that keeps coming up is about Will Byers sexuality.
Thats the beauty of it, Schnapp said.
Wills sexuality has been alluded to throughout the series but never explicitly established.
Bullies in Season 1 taunted Will as being a fairy.
In Volume 2, the clues seemed even more apparent and emotional.
See how youre leading us here?
Youre guiding the whole party, inspiring us.
Thats what you do, Will told him.
And see your coat of arms here?
Its a heart … Thats what holds this whole party together.
Without heart, wed all fall apart.
Though he was talking about Eleven, Will seemed to be alluding to his own feelings as well.
But you make her feel like shes not a mistake at all.
Like shes better for being different.
And that gives her the courage to fight on.
And she always will.
After their talk, Will burst into tears but only Jonathan noticed.
Catching Will watching Mike and Eleven, Jonathan told his brother, I miss talking to you …
Right now, we need to talk more than ever.
Because things are getting just complicated.
He added, I dont want you to forget that Im here.
And Ill always be here.
Because youre my brother.
And I love you.
And there is nothing in this world, okay, absolutely nothing, that will ever change that.
Though Will didnt tell him anything right then, he cried and hugged Jonathan.
With these major developments, Will could be primed to come out in the next and final season.
Its 2022 and we dont have to label things, she said.
So many kids out there dont know, and thats OK … And thats OK not to label things.
Schnapp agreed, saying, Will is kind of like a zebra in a field of horses.
He kind of stands out.
Because so many of our viewers are young kids who are at that stage in their life.
He added, Hes just confused and growing up.
And thats what it is to be a kid.
For years, Schnapp has been saying Wills sexuality is up to audiences to interpret.
When you hear Mike say that line, its really up to the audience to interpret it.
He still wants to be a kid and play in the basement like he did in old times.
Schnapp has been addressing the fascination with Wills sexuality sinceStranger Thingsdebuted in 2016.
Im only 12, but I do know we all relate to being different.
Hes interested in someone else in the group.
