Fans Defend Mike Wheeler Amidst All The Hate He&#8217;s Receiving, Call His Performance With Eleven A Reminder Of Their &#8220;Lost innocence&#8221;

Mike Wheeler, portrayed by Finn Wolfhard, has been the male protagonist of
Stranger Things since season 1 when all the kids used to play D&D in his
basement. He has criticized fans several times for the bad choices he made. Even
though he is just a teenager who wants to hold things. Whereas Mike was the
first person to embrace Eleven for what she was, welcomed her into his home, and
kept her safe in his little game place.

As the time passed, he became more and more infatuated with Eleven that he
overlooked some things. But his love for Eleven doesn’t make him completely a
bad person. Currently, Mike fans are defending him for season 3 where people are
calling the piggyback scene overdramatic. 


A REMINISCENT OF CHILDHOOD LOVE: MIKE WHEELER AND ELEVEN LOOK ADORABLE IN VOLUME
2

Mike and Eleven are the only successful couple in the series who have made it
this far since their cute meet in the beginning. But after their big fight in
volume 2, their relationship was left under a big question while Mike was
worried that she would never come back. However, the moment Mike and Eleven see
each other in the Nevada desert, they instantly reconcile.

A recent post shared by a fan on Reddit
[https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangerThings/comments/vq5m4u/despite_the_mike_hate_this_was_beautifully_acted/]
talks about the scene when Eleven was losing her hope strangled by Vecna
floating in the isolation tank. Meanwhile, Mike confesses his love for Eleven
and says that “you are my superhero” which gives her the strength to fight this
evil. Many viewers have called the scene too cheesy and exaggerated.

Whereas other fans liked how truly Mike conveyed his feelings for her without
adding any fancy speech to it. It was just a beautiful reminder of the moments
they have spent together and how much they used to be in love. 


FANS ARE SWOONING OVER THIS YOUNG LOVE STORY AMID CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION 

Fans are falling in love with Mike how sincerely he expressed his emotions. As
the post stated:

“This was the Mike I remember and loved. Honest, vulnerable, emotional and full
of heart.” Mike heart to heart conversation really touched fans.
