>>735>Max x ElevenShould be more popular, but people are always blinded by canon and Lucas x Max is probably the only relationship in the series that had decent writing barring Joyce and Hopper.
>Steve x RobinGlad I’m not the only one who wanted this. I loved their relationship in season 3 and wish it had continued into 4 and 5, but it kinda fizzled out. If they wanted people to stop shipping the canon lesbian with a male character, I guess they succeeded.
>Eddie x ChrissyI was expecting Chrissy to be an important new character, but then she was just killed off after having such a fun scene with Eddie. I was so excited to see her storyline be something along the lines of having a pregnancy scare and the government trying to make another Henry/Eleven using her.
>>736Byler definitely fell off around the end of season 4. I agree that Mike’s writing for most of season 5 was meh, but he went back to relevancy for the finale at least. If there was more indication that Mike was into Will, I’d have probably been into Byler. Mike being so focused on Eleven definitely made me less interested in Byler.
>if Charlie Heaton was more conventionally attractiveSee I think I must be seeing something different because I find both Joe Keery and Charlie Heaton ugly, but I find Joe uglier than Charlie and always have. If I were to ship by attractiveness in the series, it’d be Billy with Jonathan (or older Will) as I find Eddie also kinda ugly. I think the hair might be doing a lot. Antonov was probably the hottest guy in the series and he fucking disappeared into irrelevancy.
