One difference is Mike is not an experienced leading man. He's a boy who is totally in over his head when it comes to anything to do with girls. As well, the initiative he shows is actually incumbent on her providing him with a level of confidence much like he provides to her.
That's not to say they will ever be on a perfectly even playing field, but I do think they complement each other with what they bring to the relationship. Mike grew up in a normal world, and so he admittedly knows more about that. El has intuition and incredible physical means as it pertains to the circumstances they find themselves in. In addition, they are both quite emotionally vulnerable and depend on each other.
One good example of their dynamic is the snowball dance. El clearly doesn't know what she's doing, but Mike really doesn't either. The takeaway is that they will figure it out together, which I think is actually quite a beautiful sentiment.
This whole post and it's reply are disturbing and disgusting. "Sexy" is not a word anyone should be using when referring to 11 year olds and getting into their sexual relationship is sick.
shareThat's the name of the video concept in the link, but the point isn't really about sexuality at all but about a type of dynamic between characters who are romantically linked, which is indisputably show canon. The presumed criticism in the original post is that the show embodies a toxic idea through the Mike character being fond of Eleven because she has no other measuring stick to go by.
shareShe can measure my stick any day. Hahaha jk
shareI appreciate your reply :) Thank you for being mature about it.
Take care! :)
No.
By definition, being born sexy yesterday involves an adult woman mimicking the innocence of a child. Eleven is literally a child, as is her male counter. She's not mimicking anything and, as a child, growth out of her innocence is imminent, which is usually not as true for the women bound by this trope.
no she's not she was born and grew up isolated I think born Sexy is like in the fifth element Leeloo adult woman body but like only existing for a few days
