“The trustworthy response is, clearly just like the characters within the present, we additionally forgot about Will’s birthday,” Matt Duffer mentioned. “So the controversy now could be whether or not we regulate Will’s birthday or we simply let it's actually unhappy.”
When the fourth season of the sci-fi collection debuted on Might 27, it didn’t take followers lengthy to note that on the day that ought to have been Will’s birthday, he was ignored by his greatest good friend Mike (Finn Wolfhard), witnessed Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) assault her bully with a curler skate, and was instructed by his mom Joyce (Winona Ryder) that she was leaving on a last-minute journey to Alaska with none acknowledgment of his delivery.
Arduous-core followers of the present understood Will’s birthday to be March 22, because of a scene within the second season wherein Joyce tells Will a private story about his birthday to save lots of him from the Thoughts Flayer’s management.
Quick-forward to Season 4, Episode 2. In a scene the place Will, Mike and Eleven go to a skating rink, Eleven’s faculty bullies resolve to tug a merciless “Carrie”-esque prank on her, which they file on a camcorder. When the scene is proven from the camcorder’s perspective, it’s time-stamped March 22, 1986 — which suggests the horrible scene occurred on Will’s birthday. This was a shock to followers who remembered the date. Plus, as we talked about earlier than, it was a bummer of a day for poor Will:
“It was six years in the past that I wrote that date!” Ross Duffer instructed Selection.

“We’re pondering his new birthday … goes to be Might twenty second, as a result of ‘Might’ can slot in Winona’s mouth [in the Season 2 scene]. So that might be us George Lucas-ing the state of affairs.”
Certain, however don’t go George Lucas-ing it an excessive amount of. We don’t want the Duffer Brothers to have Joyce needlessly scream “Might,” for example.
