Stranger Things 5 Theory! (i know it ended but still)
Okay, this might just be my brain overthinking things, but hear me out 👀
I still believe Eleven could be alive. Her nose wasn’t bleeding, and Kali could’ve faked her death or El could’ve helped her survive somehow.
What really got me thinking is what Mike said earlier — that he wanted to live with El in a place with three waterfalls. So what if Eleven actually went looking for a place like that?
One place in the U.S. that’s famously known for three waterfalls is Niagara Falls, which is in New York.
Now here’s where it gets interesting: Hopper hints that he and Joyce might move to New York after his proposal. What if Hopper already has an idea where Eleven is?
Could this mean we’re about to see a Season 2–style déjà vu — Hopper hiding Eleven, El living with Joyce and Hopper near Niagara, and Mike eventually finding out and getting mad again?
If so… that could actually lead to a genuinely happy ending.
Or maybe I’m just completely spiraling 😅>!​!<
What do you think — agree or disagree with this theory?
