Summary
- The Stranger Things finale's ending for Eleven was initially debated.
- A documentary revealed potential alternative plot points for the finale.
- Fan discovery points to an early whiteboard outline for the ending.

The final episode of Netflix's 'Stranger Things' aimed to provide a definitive end for the series' antagonist, Vecna, and resolve numerous character arcs. However, the conclusion has been met with mixed reactions from viewers, with Eleven's apparent demise leaving her fate uncertain. Mike's theory suggests she might be in hiding, a deliberately ambiguous ending.

This documentary appears to subtly reveal that the Duffer Brothers considered making Eleven's survival more explicit. Fans have identified a screenshot from the documentary showing a whiteboard with what looks like an early draft of the finale's plot, indicating that Eleven's potential fate was a subject of considerable discussion and planning.
