Is it really a good finale to a show if the ending doesn’t spark stupid amounts of speculation about what the heck has happened? That’s certainly been the reaction to the end of Stranger Things, which left fans wondering whether Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) and his theory were correct about what happened to Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Naturally, ever since we saw what may or may not have been our waffle-loving hero admiring a waterfall, fans have speculated on Reddit about whether what we were seeing was real or whether Mike and the rest of the party were choosing to believe something that softened the blow of losing a friend.
Some fans had their business hats on, factoring in how well the show had done for Netflix and that, besides the planned spin-offs, a potential reunion further down the line would be inevitable. “I believe Netflix will want to keep the door 3 inches open for a revival in a couple of years, so yes,” wrote one fan, anticipating that Eleven is about as done with the fight with the Upside Down as Steve Rogers is done with the MCU.
