What Do Fans Think Should Happen To Eleven In Stranger Things Season 5?

Several fans explained what they think Eleven's Stranger Things season 5 story will be, and the consensus was that she will have some struggles before ultimately achieving happiness. After predicting that Eleven won't be a character who dies in the final season, Redditor @hplover12 wrote:

"El will start the season by trying to work alone or attempting to persuade the others to allow her to burden herself to figure out how to defeat Vecna by herself."

The fan thinks Eleven will have a deep talk with Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard) as she will explain that she is terrified that she won't be able to save everyone from Vecna. This makes sense since it would help the characters become even closer, which they need after being separated in season 4. But at the same time, it would also allow Eleven to become more vulnerable. Eleven has had a tough life and she should become more comfortable expressing her emotions. This will help her grow up.

The fan believes Eleven and the other characters will work as a group to defeat Vecna in Stranger Things season 5 after she thinks about it. This seems likely since fans criticized the fact that the characters didn't spend enough time together in the fourth season. While of course Eleven will lead the charge since she has a special connection to the Upside Down, she will realize she should lean on her friends since they all have unique skills that will come in handy.

Several fans think that Stranger Things season 5 will focus on Eleven thinking carefully about her powers. She has always had a hard time with them since she wonders if she's a terrible person, and she'll likely reflect on this in the last season. No matter how many other characters are included, Eleven will definitely have an emotional arc where she thinks about the past, present, and future.

"she would hopefully grow to accept that her being powerful does not mean she cannot accept help. It is time for El to accept working as part of a team, and knowing where to see her limitations/when to use her powers."

What Happened To Eleven In Stranger Things Seasons 1-4?

From questions about Eleven's name to the deep friendships she builds in Hawkins, Indiana, this character is a huge part of Stranger Things seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4. It's interesting to reflect on her character arc and realize how far she's come and how much she has grown up.

When Eleven shows up in Hawkins in the pilot episode, she has run away from the Hawkins National Lab, and she spends time at the diner with Benny Hammond (Chris Sullivan), who tragically dies soon after. The other characters meet Eleven and take them under their wing. They learn about her dark history and her powers, and they start protecting each other as they learn more about the Upside Down and all its evil monsters.

Whether saving her friends, showing Martin Brenner (Matthew Modine) how tough she is), or moving to California with the Byers, Eleven shows that she is strong and powerful. It's no wonder that fans are looking forward to her big battle scene against Vecna in Stranger Things season 5.
