I was legit concerned about people saying that Stranger Things had brought back the love triangle for season 5. I hate love triangles in general, but I always thought this one was dumb. I never bought that either of them would fight over Nancy, they barely see her as a person. Likewise, I don't know why Nancy would go for either guy in the early seasons, neither of them are worth it. There's zero chemistry here.

But honestly, season 5 turned out okay in this respect. It's like Jonathan kept trying to make the love triangle and competition a thing, but I didn't really get that vibe from Steve at all. Nancy (quite rightly) didn't give a rat's ass and ignored them both. The "competition" was 100% Jonathan's insecurity, and while the show kind of hinted at that, I'm not sure the message came through strongly enough. It was idiotic to do the triangle at all, though.

The ending for the characters 100% made up for the stupid love triangle!

Fanfic writers can pick their ending; from "they never see each other again" to "they become a throuple."

Funny what you say about chemistry. IRL, the actors who play Jonathan and Nancy are a couple. I wonder if they tried to create a different set of mannerisms for their characters to keep their private lives private.

The love triangle was actually the only thing I liked about season 1. They were the only characters I didn't either hate or have no impression of, and I thought they worked well together at the end. I didn't like the show enough to watch more seasons, but I wish they could have stayed a trio, whether it was Nancy with one of the guys and their shared bestie, or all three just friends.

I don't see what's wrong with either of the guys. I'm aro and mostly ace, so I'm not projecting any thirst here, I think they're not perfect but would still pretty great to have as friends. I guess you could just be one of those women who thinks every man is worthless and every woman is a goddess who deserves an ideal nonexistent better.

"I guess you could just be one of those women who thinks every man is worthless and every woman is a goddess who deserves an ideal nonexistent better."

LOL, wow. Hope you didn't pull any muscles with that reach.

Yeah, I don't even see where that came from in response to this secret. It feels like nonny is projecting pretty hard from some other experiences or pre-existing biases they have.
