to be real for a second, i think there is a moment in the show where mike has a ~realization~ of sorts about his feelings but hasn't quite put two and two together yet.... and it's this:
this realization of "hey my feelings for will are actually maybe different than my feelings for my other friends, but i'm not sure why" happens at the end of season two. and then mike spends the entirety of season three acting sort of strange and different around will while having his relationship with him constantly juxtaposed with his relationship with el. reaching the end of that season which, despite all the supernatural shit going on, took the time to focus so heavily on those two relationships (and how fundamentally different they are), and having mike have the same realization he had at the end of season two makes no sense because it would mean he accomplished absolutely nothing in his emotional arc during the course season three
especially to claim that he still believes he has feelings for el going into season 4. especially to claim he still believes he has feelings for el by the end of season 4. it's to claim that he has not made any emotional progress in his relationships for at least two full seasons, that he's been going through all of this for it to not have made any conscious impact on him, and the changes in the way he acts from s2-3 and from s3-4 aren't a product of his character developing (growing, changing, to quote hopper's letter) but rather..... ? i don't know actually. just him feeling weird but not understanding himself at all. still. it just doesn't make sense to me. he's one of the main characters of the show, and to keep him emotionally stagnant for 4 out of 5 seasons (especially when we can see that his behavior is changing, that he has not been stagnant at all but rather deeply affected by everything) would be a disservice to his character, first of all, but also a disservice to the narrative which has been showing us his (as well as the other characters') struggle with growing up and growing into himself every season. and it simply doesn't align with what we're being shown
mike is already having realizations by the end of season two. but by the end of season three, he's starting to be really honest with himself about what they mean

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY REDEEM ENJI BUT NOT TOUYA???? and WHY am I getting upset about a character from a show I’ve never watched? I’m gonna end up watching this aren’t I. I need to stop taking recommendations from you it NEVER ends well (ethel cain dead poets society everything everywhere all at once etc) I’ve already got bsd on my list. help
please please please i know you'd love touya and you'd understand him the reason the mha fandom gets such a bad rep is bc their collective critical thinking skills are non-existant like touya's tag is either pure porn or people continuing to villainise him and i cant take it anymore

im totally a completionist when it comes to watching content but mindcrack is so long that it seems impossible so i need ur expert opinion: do u think someone needs to watch every episode of a mindcrack season to get the full experience, or is watching ur playlist of hand picked videos probably enough??
mindcrack is one of those series that has a lot of famous and iconic episodes but also lots of filler in between so i would say it's DEFINITELY not necessary to watch everything! the playlist i posted is not a good place to start though LMAO it's more like a deep cut of random streams i've been collecting.
if you want to watch a full season i'd say watch season 4. the first episode of that season is one of my favorites ever so if you like that one it'd be a good indicator for whether you will like the rest of the series (heres a clip i posted from it). and then with season 3 you can pick and choose whichever episodes come up in your recommended or which ones have the most views. things like king of the ladder and the trial are famous episodes from that season that you might have heard of that are good to watch! but unless you're an insane completionist like me there's really no need to watch the full thing since it's PRETTY dated and etho spends half the series digging a giant hole LMAO. here's a playlist of season 3 with some of the episodes i personally love to revisit a lot if you want to skip around it ^_^ hope this helps
