Following the February 2, 2026, trailer drop for the animated spinoff Stranger Things: Tales From '85, the internet has latched onto one bizarre detail: Mike Wheeler’s face. Fans are calling out the animators at Flying Bark for shrinking Finn Wolfhard’s famously prominent nose into a tiny, stylized button, leading to the viral (and hilarious) critique: "Where is his nose? He can't see without his nose!" ????

While the Duffer Brothers designed the show to evoke the feel of 80s Saturday-morning cartoons, the transition to CG has left some fans feeling "uncanny valley" vibes. The Reddit thread "Mike Wheeler My Goat" has been flooded with memes comparing the animated Mike to a "Voldemort-lite" version of himself. One X user joked, "They gave Eleven her powers back, but they took Mike’s sense of smell to pay for it."

Despite the "Nose-gate" controversy, the spinoff is one of the most anticipated releases of 2026:

The Timeline: It takes place in the winter of 1985, filling the gap between Seasons 2 and 3.

The Style: Influenced by The Real Ghostbusters, the show features "sculpted, puppet-like" faces and neon 80s textures.

The Stakes: Showrunner Eric Robles has warned fans that despite the "cute" animation, the stakes are real and characters can still die.

Whether the animators will "plus up" the nose before the April 23, 2026 premiere remains to be seen, but for now, "Justice for Mike’s Nose" has officially replaced "Justice for Barb" as the fandom's top priority. ????????
