thinking about how you can never have a productive and civil discussion on sttwt about how mike is intentionally associated with brenner in s4 without people holding pitchforks in an outrage and twisting your words to make it seem like you’re trying to call mike an abuser

#do you understand simple narrative themes or literary devices like. at all.#sure lets drop the term “parallel” and replace it with mike being compared to brenner as a foil #and its still not a good thing cause while mike doesnt see el as a monster like brenner does #he sees her as a superhero which made her feel like she can only ever be one or the other instead of just. a regular human being 😭#literally the title of the episode spells it out in bold letters for you #THE MONSTER AND THE SUPERHERO. that was one of el’s main inner conflicts throughout s4 bffr #byler
