Will Telling It Like It Is
Maybe because he survived the Upside Down first, Will doesn’t hesitate to call his friends out when they need it. For the first few seasons, Noah Schnapp only really got to play Will missing in action or experiencing body horror. It’s good to see this character be given more, and like McLaughlin, Schnapp comes into his own this season. His take on Will this season is really carried by how present he is for Eleven and Mike. When Eleven tries to make an effort to assimilate, she’s quickly struck down by the mean girls; Will steps up as a brother figure to support her but also remind her that they’ve been through worse. He becomes the brother Eleven needs, and someone Mike can count on when she gets taken.
