Some fans went so far as to suggest how Milo should be utilized in future seasons — possibly as a pet and mascot for Kaz's gang, or possibly as a benchmark to measure the passage of time through his growth.

Many fans also wove Milo into the forthcoming story of Jesper and Wylan, a character from the books who has not been introduced in the show yet. They figured that Wylan would be jealous of the little goat, at least at first.

Others were willing to see the whole story retconned to make Milo more prominent, even placing him above Alina in the Grishaverse mythos.

The Milo jokes were funny at first, but he was really cemented as an icon for many fans when he returned to save Mal's life.

The Shadow and Bone fandom is full of little splinters with fans shipping different romances or wishing that certain favorite characters got more screentime. However, all could come together to love and cherish Milo.

Shadow and Bone is the kind of series that is heavy on relationships, romantic or otherwise. Whatever pair fans were most interested before, it has now been cast aside for the dynamic between Jesper and Milo.
