Whereas Schnapp hasn’t confirmed that this scene between Mike and Will was the one for which he advocated, the discourse on-line has latched onto that concept, and the response has not been favorable. Partly, this comes from pre-existing complaints about this Mike and Will dialog, separate from Schnapp’s feedback.
Followers have particularly highlighted Mike’s line, “Mates? No thanks. Greatest associates,” with some calling it poorly written and others viewing it as a slap within the face to “Bylers”—that means those that shipped Mike and Will collectively. On condition that a part of the detrimental response to Season 5 was tied to disappointments about Byler, this current interview has compounded some frustrations.
Particularly, if Schnapp was certainly referring to this scene, then it theoretically means the Duffer Brothers did not plan on Mike and Will ever revisiting Will’s popping out on display, and plenty of followers (whether or not they ship Byler or not) are outraged at that concept.

It is unclear whether or not Schnapp will ever verify the scene to which he was referring, however there are hints that this might be the second. There was some hypothesis that Schnapp may have requested to see Will’s boyfriend within the epilogue, however that does not actually make sense as a storyline that wanted to be closed out. It is potential, however unlikely.
Schnapp additionally referenced doing “justice to all of the characters and all their relationships and tales” when discussing the storyline he requested for, which once more suggests it was concerning the dynamic between Mike and Will following Will popping out.
