in season four Mike explained that he was struggling with his relationship with El because he wasn't the protector there, he wasn't the hero, he was lois lane 😭 he feels the best when he's allowed to be the leader, when he's strong and assertive and making the plan and carrying it out. byler works so well because Will gives that power up to Mike and he views Mike as a paladin and a protector, he lets Mike take that leader role and be the heart 😭🙏 yeah he's a loser but they're all losers and Mike is still the leader to them

People look at me crazy when I tell them Mike is actually so cool if you look at him in Will's perspective

he canonically DOESN'T want to be a damsel in distress and that is an on security for him

Adding on to this- just because Finn doesn’t like running does Not mean Mike can’t.

They’re trying to strip him of the few likable traits he actually has.

People seem to forget that they save each other. As much as Mike may annoy me. He has always been gentle and sweet towards my boy will.

Yes he’s a Paladin FOR SURE but two things can true at once. Hes a nerd with a complex personality who just so happens to lock in when his friends and family are in trouble/danger

Yea I’ve noticed a lot of people see Mike as weak when he canonically isn’t and takes on a more protective role both physically and emotionally. There’s a reason why miwi were so attached to each other in season 2

this is my thing, and i always see people calling him weak and treating mike like he can’t do anything, even while he proves to be a good fighter and extremely intelligent

people forget that both of them are strong and also nerdy. they try to beat stereotypes by making will much more forward than he is and mike totally useless. mike is much more confident too, he leads and makes plans for the group like it's nothing. will can be capable but shy and flustered at the same time!

There’s a reason Will is in love with him his whole childhood and it’s bc he isn’t as big of a lame-o as some people paint him to be. He was just a child 😭

They mistake him a lot with Finn. Just because the actor is like that doesn’t mean his character is like him too!!
