Stranger Things' creators Matt and Ross Duffer respond to the review bombing of Will's coming out episode in Season 5.

When Stranger Things first premiered in 2016, it wore its many ’80s influences on its sleeve. That nostalgia still permeates the fifth and final season, but nearly a decade later, the rollout of its grand finale felt distinctly modern — and that included the messy fallout of Will Byers’ (Noah Schnapp) long-awaited, controversial coming out scene.

Stranger Things 5 episode 7 features Will coming out as gay to the group but the original draft featured a much more intimate scene before it was changed.

Stranger Things Season 5 ended with the show giving all the characters their happy endings as the sinister battle at Hawkins finally comes to a close.

That Will Byers finally tells his friends and family the truth is a key element in 'The Bridge,' the penultimate episode of 'Stranger Things 5.'

"We do that flash-forward in Mike's story and we bring them up to a certain point, and then we want to leave it a little bit up to fans in terms of where these characters end up ultimately," Ross says. "Do Robin and Vickie stay together? Maybe, maybe not."

The official "Stranger Things" Season 5 soundtrack includes hits like Michael Jackson's "Rockin' Robin" and Iron Maiden's "The Trooper."

Sitting down and looking at his best friend Mike (played by Finn Wolfhard), mom Joyce (Winona Ryder), brother Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and more, Will is his most vulnerable self. After making it clear that he is gay, his friends and family proudly support him and tell him they will always be by his side.

Matt and Ross Duffer have responded following backlash and criticism of 'Stranger Things' season 5, Vol. 2, and the scene where Will (Noah Schnapp) comes out as gay in particular.
