Well, part of this could be a very not single Noel was attempting to cheat on his girlfriend. So dude had game in a long-distance relationship and maybe the emotional/attempted physical cheating had him appearing awkward and unsure.

I think more of foley came out in s1 imo.

No problem

Okay, that makes sense

Michelle I need to rewatch Stranger Thing season 4 before the new season comes out too, so let me know if/when you want to do that and I would join you!

ds44

I've never seen anything past s1. But, I also don't want to support it cause of the actor who plays will. He has been really gross about the Palestinian genocide.

Alexa

Yeah that was really dumb of him. And his fans are just brushing it under the rug. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't reduce his screentime. Sucks cuz Will was one of my favorite characters too.

The show is amazing though that I can't not watch. I'll just try to separate the actor from the show. And I hope he is sincerely sorry and is working to improve himself.

jediwands

That’s how I feel too. Have to separate the actors from the characters.

He’s a teenager so hoping immaturity played a part and he’ll grow from this and is sorry for his comments.

Loving the show isn’t supporting him. That’s how I see it.

jediwands

Despicable. I was so irked by his behavior. He’s pretty young and impressionable so hopefully he grows to be better.

jediwands

Perfect! Sounds good!

ds44

It helps that I am not attached to the show. But as a Muslim amd someone who has a lot of Palestinian friends I don't hink it's a case of a mistake. One friend of mine lost 56 members of her family in one of those bombs. Children are eating gas and dirty water.

Horrible.

The situation in the Middle East is heartbreaking. That’s the real topic. Not what some idiot who isn’t even old enough to drink legally thinks. If I stopped watching shows and films and reading books based on the personal lives of actors/creators/writers and what they do or say I would be watching even less than I already do. Even Rowling disappoints me but I won’t put down a Harry Potter book. Some really famous classic poets and writers that have passed were horrible people in real life. Eye opening when you research. We just never heard about it because there wasn’t social media back then.

I enjoy the fiction and live in my bubble. Have to separate or else there’s nothing to read or watch.

The Middle East makes me cry. Israel leader is a monster.

ds44

Oh I don't blame you. I am just saying is I never got in deep with Stranger Things so I don't feel like its a loss for me. The downside of social media is we know too much about these people.

jediwands

Exactly. Way too much.

I do think its possible to be young and dumb, and still grow... Lord knows that I said dumb things when I was younger too. Not as bad at that obviously, but I had a lot of learning to do regarding politics and the world. I used to always say I stayed out of it and was neutral until I educated myself more over time.

But the fact that he was on camera saying these dumb things with his friends and acting like it was no big deal is a bit alarming. I would like to hope and think that he didn't really know/mean what he was saying. But... who knows.

Yeah the JK Rowling thing is just as upsetting/annoying, but I wont let her stupid views take away from my enjoyment of that series.

Its kinda the same with the guy that plays Alaric on VPD. used to love his charactera nd now he is tainted. Same with Danny Masterson's character on That 70's Show, and Mark Saling's character on Glee. It kinda makes those series hard to enjoy/watch now. But, I try to separate it.
