Should We Maybe Stop Hating This Stranger Things Couple? Fans Say Yes

Jonathan and Nancy from Stranger Things, it seems like these two characters can't catch a break when it comes to fans' opinions.

But many fans think this couple is over criticized. Let's find out why.

First things first, Jonathan's most obvious "red flag" seems to be that he smokes weed. Okay, maybe that's not everyone's cup of tea, but it doesn't automatically make him a terrible person, right?

In fact, he has been pretty good to Nancy throughout the show. They had their fair share of fights, but they made up and moved forward. So, why all the hate?

Well, some fans point out that Jonathan did have a bit of a rocky start. Remember when he was taking pictures of Steve and Nancy from the bushes outside Steve's pool party?

It has certainly raised some eyebrows. And then he got closer to Nancy even though she was already in a relationship.

That's not the best move, according to many fans. But here's the thing, that doesn't automatically mean Jonathan was trying to steal her away from Steve.

They were all going through some crazy stuff with the Upside Down, and eventually ended up being together.

Another perspective is that Jonathan was going through a tough time himself. Maybe he was so depressed that he wasn't really himself.

He was numb and dull, not exactly in a thriving state to be in a relationship with Nancy. That could have influenced his behavior and made things more complicated.

Speaking of relationships, let's talk about Nancy and Steve. Many fans tend to ship them given what a sweetheart Steve has become. At first, Steve was pretty toxic, and it took a while for him to change.

Steve seems to have matured throughout the series and appears ready for another shot at love. Maybe he should explore new possibilities and look for someone who truly matches his growth and character.

As for Jonathan and Nancy, it's clear that their relationship isn't perfect but what's even more obvious is that they just need some time.

You know, it's hard to focus on your relationship with all this supernatural craziness going on.
