News India Live, Digital Desk: The world of ‘Stranger Things’ is as complex as Hawkins’s, and its makers are equally complex. Duffer Brothers Keep. We are all eagerly waiting for Season 5 (or maybe have already seen it, because the show remains a topic of discussion). In this, a lot has been shown about the character of Will Byers, especially regarding his sexuality and the story of ‘Coming Out’.
After all, what is the issue?
Since season 4, we were seeing that Will remained silent. His painting and his feelings towards Mike were saying a lot. This story culminates in Season 5, where Will openly admits his feelings. But, some critics and a section of fans said that it all happened too “late” or was not shown properly. Some even accused it of being forced into the story.
What did the Duffer Brothers say?
Amidst all this criticism, the show’s creators Matt and Ross Duffer have broken their silence. He said in clear words- “We’re proud of Will’s episode and his entire journey.”
He believes that Will’s journey did not change suddenly. This was part of his story since Season 1. He defended himself by saying that a child growing up and understanding himself does not happen overnight, it is a process. According to the Duffer Brothers, they have written Will’s ‘Coming Out’ arc very sensitively and Noah Schnapp has brought it to the screen perfectly.
“It’s the truth of the will”
The makers say that along with the battle of Upside Down, Will’s own internal battle was also equally important. This was not just a plot twist, but the truth about the character that needed to be told.
Overall, the makers have made it clear that they stand firmly behind the decisions of their story and characters, no matter what the world says. Well, as fans, seeing Will happy is the biggest win for us, right?
