LP54 Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Some fans noticed that this season started the day before Will's birthday. However, the writers apparently forgot that they wrote Will's birthday on March 22nd. Quote So fans have noticed that in Episode 2 of Season 4, a rolling camera has the date of March 22, which is supposed to be Will’s birthday. Did everyone forget Will’s birthday in universe or was this unintentional? RD: How do you want to respond to this? MD: The honest response is, clearly like the characters in the show, we also forgot about Will’s birthday. So the debate now is whether we adjust Will’s birthday or we just let it be really sad. RD: Oh, my God, Jenny, I almost don’t want you to write this, because you’re going to get us in trouble with the fans for forgetting his birthday. It was six years ago that I wrote that date! MD: You know how George R.R. Martin has somebody — I mean, his story is more vast — and Stephen King has someone who just keeps track of this stuff? We need that. We don’t have that. So Ross and I, and my memory’s not great, but we love Will, and I don’t want people to think we don’t love Will because we forgot — we do! But now we mentioned Dustin’s birthday this season, so we’re being very careful for people not to forget, in case the timelines… RD: Here’s what I think. I think what we’re going to do is we’ll go and George Lucas it. MD: We’re thinking his new birthday, Jenny, is going to be May 22nd, because “May” can fit in Winona’s mouth [in the Season 2 scene where Joyce says the date of Will’s birthday]. So that would be us George Lucas-ing the situation. RD: Of course that would mean his mom forgot his birthday! It’s too mean. It was obviously a mistake, and we’re sorry. We apologize to the fans. MD: And especially to Will! It’s unfair. Source: VARIETY Edited June 4, 2022 by LP54
HabbGaga Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 part of me was hoping this was intentional and we'd get answers in vol. 2, thats a pretty big mistake to make but honestly i don't really care that much, they should probably fix it tho they just change the wording on the camera or whatever revealed what date it was, idk if i would want a whole storyline of them missing his bday.
liam13 Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 they should kill the character anyway, his presence is disposable this season.
jadeabove Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Well, they didn't lie when they said it was their GOT season, then.

Into The Void Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 How did fans even remember I would not have known it was his birthday

Yep, I hope Jon will try to save Nancy and Will will try to save El from Vecna and then both of them can die being heroes. Joyce will marry Jim and have a nice family w him and El
ATRL Moderator Bloo Posted June 4, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 4, 2022 His friends and family should have left Will in the Upside Down with how little they seem to care about him.

Roman Holiday Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Writers and directors should stop talking so much in interviews. Leave some things up to interpretation
Buffy Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Doesn’t surprise me. They forgot many things, including Kali.

She was panned by the GP and as much as it would be nice to have her come help El it’s not happening That’s unfortunate because she could’ve teamed up with Papa to help this season. Kali knows how to connect with El emotionally. She taught her to harness her power. The writers suck for scrapping her when they can easily incorporate her in the new season.
