Finn Wolfhard, known for his role as Mike Wheeler in “Stranger Things,” recently caused quite a stir when he hosted “Saturday Night Live.” The controversy surrounding his appearance on the show has only increased since then, as Wolfhard has taken to Instagram to tease fans about the upcoming Season 5 Episode 10 of the popular series.
While some praised Wolfhard’s skits on SNL, others were not impressed. The online backlash centered around jokes made by Wolfhard and his co-stars Caleb McLaughlin and Gaten Matarazzo, particularly those referencing female anatomy, Lucas’ intimacy with Max, and a skit mocking Will Byers’ coming out scene. The criticism flooded social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, with Wolfhard’s Instagram comments being targeted with personal insults.
Despite the negative response, Wolfhard and his co-stars have continued to post clips from the SNL episode without addressing the backlash. In fact, Wolfhard seemed to double down on poking fun at fans by teasing an upcoming Episode 10 of “Stranger Things” on Instagram. This post garnered over 10,000 likes and 200 comments, with some fans finding the joke funny and others expressing frustration with the actor.
It is uncertain whether the stars or anyone from SNL will address the backlash, as it appears to be business as usual for them. Nevertheless, the recent Instagram comment from Wolfhard may spark another wave of anger from fans who did not find the SNL skits humorous.
Overall, the controversy surrounding Finn Wolfhard’s SNL appearance continues to generate mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. As the speculation around Season 5 Episode 10 of “Stranger Things” grows, it remains to be seen how the stars will navigate the ongoing backlash.
