The correct answer is obviously Eleven. There is a case for Mike in the first season.

season 4, 100%. season 2, will or hopper. season 3, i’d even argue it’s dustin. season 1, mike or joyce

Those are some pretty bizarre takes lol. I think the confusion may be from misunderstanding what the definition of a main protagonist is. Oftentimes people think the terms protagonist and main character are interchangeable, When this is not in fact the case.

definitely not saying that

Mike Wheeler

Hopper 100%, saves the day each season.

I don’t think there is a “main” protagonist because all of the main cast feel like the protagonist and it just doesn’t make sense to give that title to one of them.

MIKE WILL FOREVER BE THE MAIN CHARACTER TO ME!!!!!!!!!

Lets see who dies in S5, the protagonist will survive

^ Never thought I'd see the most provably wrong statement of all time lol.
