Whether Eleven lives or dies at the end of Stranger Things is left up to viewers, but Millie Bobby Brown is giving her thoughts on El's fate.

Now that it’s all over, we know how the story ends—with Vecna and the Mind Flayer defeated, the Upside Down destroyed for good, and Eleven seemingly left for dead following a heroic sacrifice to stop the government from using her blood to restart their experimental program to develop psychic children.

While the controversial Stranger Things finale's shocking ending sparked debate among the fandom, Eleven's fate was secretly perfectly foreshadowed.

So, is El dead? The Duffer brothers spoke about the ambiguous ending to Netflix with Matt saying, "There are two roads that Eleven could take. There’s this darker, more pessimistic one or the optimistic, hopeful one. Mike is the optimist of the group and has chosen to believe in that story."

The Stranger Things Season 5 finale on Netflix has fans convinced Eleven didn’t die thanks to this “important detail”.

The Stranger Things Season 5 finale delivered plenty for fans to savor, from epic monster showdowns to deeply emotional, nostalgia-soaked moments, all culminating in an ending that has left audiences

After the group made it into the Abyss, fought the Mind Flayer and defeated Vecna to thwart the plan to merge planets, things looked up for our ragtag group of heroes. They had rescued all 12 kidnapped children and were heading back into the Rightside Up with the wormhole ready to collapse behind them.

Stranger Things star Jamie Campbell Bower had a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, during which he discussed Vecna's story arc, participated in multiple hilarious comedy sketches and revealed his opinion on the show's ambiguous ending.

The Duffer Brothers discuss the decision to let audiences determine Eleven's fate in the Stranger Things finale and the end's emotional complexity.

After building up momentum in Volume 1, Stranger Things Season 5 came to a screeching halt in Volume 2. The second part of the final season of Netflix’s mega-hit sci-fi series spent far too much time stalling the action with grueling, cheesy heart-to-hearts, riddled with awkward dialogue, all nuance and subtext be damned.
