Noah Schnapp&#039;s character Will Byers says on a script that he hates himself for not doing justice to himself.

&#8220;I hate who I am&#8221;: Will Byers&#8217; Script From ‘Stranger Things’ Trends on Twitter as Fans Empathize with Noah Schnapp&#8217;s Character

Stranger Things is in its final stages now, and Hawkins’s fate has never been
more perilous. The gate to the Upside Down has completely opened, and the
Soviet’s role in the play has been exposed. With a series of new reveals, a
heartbreaking death, some gender disclosure and fiery chemistry between the 80’s
geek nerds, the fourth season was the cherry on top of the franchise. The season
was also about Will Byers and his sexual identity, and we guess we might have
something here!

Recently fans dug out the Stranger Things script and Will’s dialogue in it. And
ever since, Twitter has been buzzing with sympathetic messages for Will.


WILL BYERS STABBED A DAGGER IN HIS OWN HEART WITH THIS SCRIPT

A script of Noah Schnapp in the van scene is now surfacing on the internet. With
thousands of unsolicited opinions and interpretations, with Noah himself voicing
out thoughts
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-noah-schnapp-talks-about-the-van-scene-in-stranger-things-says-the-season-was-personal-for-will/],
it’s now confirmed that Will is homosexual and has a massive inclination toward
Mike. In the van, Mike is on the verge of giving up on the entire mess. He’s all
baffled about Els’s feelings towards him, and Will comforts him with all his
might. Even if he’s himself devastated and has “ripped off the Band-aid,” he
continues to catalyse Mike’s feelings for El.



Throughout the entire franchise, Mike is the only person to who Will is closest.
He shares things with him that he does with no other. He is never as sensitive
to anyone else in the gang as he is to Mike. The moment he turns his face away
and cries to himself was one of the most emotional scenes of the entire season.
From the beginning, it’s crystal clear that he has always faced difficulty
opening up to Mike. And now that the Van scene finally confirmed our two cents,
it is even more heartbreaking to think about Mike’s confession to El.

ALTHOUGH WILL HATES HIMSELF, NOAH SCHNAPP ADORES HIM

Noah is unquestionably the perfect suit for a character like Will Byers. No one
could have ever played it as perfectly as Noah did. After knocking his character
off the park, Noah in an interview opened up about Will’s sexuality.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Ever since the beginning, Will has been through all of it. Abducted into the
Upside Down, followed by getting possessed by the Mind Flayer, seemingly
abandoned by his best friends and then, perhaps the worst, finding his love
interest fall in love with someone else right before his eyes. Although it
breaks out heart to see Will suffer so much right from the beginning, Noah loves
it.



He loves to play his character and revealed to the Variety
[https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/stranger-things-noah-schnapp-will-byers-gay-doja-cat-1235317378/]
Magazine that, “Now it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike,”
Schnapp said. “It was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully because it’s
so easy to make a character just like all of a sudden be gay.” He feels like the
Duffers never really addressed it or blatantly said how Will ishomosexual. “But
that’s exactly the beauty of it.” he added.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

With the majority of it being hinted at in the fourth season, the fifth might
finally come up with Will opening up about his sexuality and feeling. While we
wait for the Endgame, stream all seasons of Strangers Things
