Byler as the song five years by Bo Burnham,

Okay let’s go.

In season 4, El freaks out at the roller rink and we can't say that Mike reacts very well to that, which El notices by the way. Mike doesn't come near her, doesn't try to reassure her or hug her, he stays next to Will and watches her cry and shiver. On top of that, when they're at the table, he adds a comment that causes El to run away and accentuate his grief. He told her the next day “I was a little upset in the moment.” “I mean, it just was so crazy. It happened so fast.” but if we make the comparison with Mike's behavior in season 2 we realize that when Will acts strangely, that he is haunted and suddenly starts shaking, he never leaves and always stays with him, even puts his hand on his. And I think in this context we can even mention the scene "Crazy together" because here Mike doesn’t tell El that they will be crazy or monsters together.

And before all that he says “I don’t really understand” which means he needs El to talk to him to understand. Let's a parallel with the dialogue he has with Will next: Will says “I didn't say it” and Mike answers “You didn't have to” (and besides an “emotional and tender” music is just playing after this precise sentence mmmh) unlike El, Will doesn't need to say anything to be understood by Mike, here's what to remember.

New analysis:

S4 ep5: Mike and Will talk when they're sitting on the car, in addition to being a parallel to other scenes like the one with Jancy for example, there's the “emotional and tender” music again, and Mike says “I should've explained myself. Maybe Eleven would've taken me with her and things would be different.” “I didn't know what to say” yet it would have been easy to know what to say, he had to tell El that he loves her and long before that moment, and maybe nothing of that would have happened; and explain WHAT Mike? There shouldn't be anything to explain, Mike loves El and tells him so or he doesn't (at least not romantically). Especially since in episode 4 he says “if I would’ve said that thing” so he KNOWS basically what he should have said.

Then Will continues by saying “Sometimes I think it’s just scary to open up like that.” he mainly talks about himself and his feelings for Mike but he adds “Because, what if... what if they don’t like the truth?” and Mike nods at that exact moment, meaning he agrees with that sentence. Except that if Mike tells El he loves her, El would be happy so why wouldn't she like it? What I mean is that the only truth Mike could tell about his feelings that El wouldn't like is that he doesn't like her (and maybe he loves someone else, you know what I mean?)

When Mike arrives in California Will is happy and wants to hug him but Mike is distant. A lot of people said it was because he realized that he missed Will a little too much and that he feels a little more than friendship for him, that's why he doesn't get too close to him and is embarrassed. But what if it was also because he was jealous and hurt? At the beginning of the previous episode, El writes to Mike “Will is painting a lot” “Maybe it is for a girl? I think there is someone he likes” and Mike is not at all ok with that, especially when he sees that Will took his painting with him. That's why he has a hard time getting in touch (literally and why he rarely speaks to her while he's gone) with Will.

In the van Will says “We could just play D&D and Nintendo for the rest of our lives.” And Mike answers “Yeah. Totally.” smiling, and even if he looks depressed I don't know if you realize it, but there is still a remarkable development: in season 3 he said "we're not kids anymore. I mean, what did you think, really? We were just gonna sit in my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives?” He wasn't for it at all and was hurtful, whereas now he's ok with it and HE SMILES and we keep seeing him smile even when the focus isn't on him, look, I'm not lying !

did you see the end of season 3? I mean, did you really see it?

Hopper says “But, lately, I guess I’ve been feeling... distant from you. Like you're... you're pulling away from me or something” as the camera slowly approaches a sad Mike. Then the first image and sentence that follows is “I miss playing board games every night” tell me who Mike spends his time playing with until late at night? Will.Tell me when was his last real smile? When Will told him there's not possible he could want to join another band to play with them. And when Mike takes a last look at the house before setting off on his bike, who do we immediately see in the next shot? Will. Always Will. And after? Again Mike, returning home and falling into his mother's arms. This scene means nothing to you, really? Yes, that's exactly what happened when Mike thought Will was dead.

You can tell me it's a coincidence, I don't believe it.

So the "I hate who I am" proves that we are actually in Will's pov from the beginning and no doubt that the script of the last episode will prove to us that the change of pov is done at the end of it- here, to announce that Mike's thoughts will be more front and center in season 5 because, you know, Mike has everything in his hands, Will is going to be in danger again and Mike is the only one who can realize that is HE who must to save him.

They are the same. And if Mike is the same as Will that means Mike loves Will, right? Both would like to grow up but they can't, they are afraid.

"Growing. Changing. And I guess... If I’m being really honest, that’s what scared me."

Look at the light on their face (and around them) one side is blue, the other side is yellow.

"When blue meets yellow in the west"

Need I remind that they are for the first time together in the west?

(oh and their clothes are also almost entirely blue and yellow)

Then, remember the previous scene: Mike says "I asked for vomit green and I got vomit green" and looking at Will "Isn't that awesome?"

Blue and yellow make green.

Do I need to explain more?
