The experiment on Stranger Things season 1 has backfired on Duffer Brothers

Charlie Heaton has played the role of Jonathan Byers in Stranger Things, the older son of Joyce Byers. In season one, we saw Jonathan guilt-ridden as he failed to protect his brother Will. He didn’t believe his mother that Will is trapped in the walls of their home. Because he thinks Joyce is having a mental breakdown since the boy is nowhere to be found. Whereas he keeps on collecting evidence and searching for his brother relentlessly.

A recent revelation by Insider that Duffers have made edits in one of those scenes of Jonathan left fans furious. Now fans have spotted the change in The Weirdo on Maple Street episode to cover his misled actions. When he finds his schoolmates chilling at a forest house and his crush Nancy Wheeler is also there. So he starts taking photographs and eventually goes far away from the limits as he captured Nancy and Steve having an intimate moment from the bedroom’s window.

The creators tried to correct this overlooked mistake by cutting the shot where Nancy starts to undress. Fan saw this altered scene and instantly shared it on social media, complaining to the creators. Why did they change the scene from Nancy to turn his direction to Barb Holland just to make the image of Jonathan Byers clear in the eyes of fans? However, the viewers have sympathy towards the Byers family, who have fragile emotions and are mostly inexpressible people.
