Stranger Things Season 3: 8 Biggest Questions After The Trailer

8. How Did Eleven and Max Become Friends?

One of the more pleasantly surprising aspects of the Season 3 trailer was the emphasis on what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship between Eleven and the gang's newest member, Max.

While we all knew that both of them would remain members of the show's 'Scooby gang', it appears that this year will bring them closer than either of them, especially Eleven, ever thought possible - as they end up visiting the mall together and even get all dressed up in some gloriously '80s fashion.

If you recall, Max was initially in awe of Eleven based on her reputation alone (after listening to the stories that Mike, Dustin and Lucas told), so she was overwhelmed when she actually met her in person. The same, however, could not be said for Eleven, who didn't appreciate how close Max had become to the group, especially Mike, in her absence. Even when the whole group celebrated the Mind Flayer's defeat, these two weren't exactly besties.

It's going to be interesting to see how the dynamic between them has changed this season as we'll finally get a chance to see 'El' interact with another girl her own age. Of course, the time-jump will probably be used to explain away a lot but let's just hope we do at least find out how these unlikely allies ended up becoming friends.
