The Internet Debates Who Would Win in a Fight at Home Depot: Matilda (1996) or Eleven ('Stranger Things')

A Reddit thread from several years ago is starting to go viral again. The question that was posed: Who would win in a fight at a Home Depot, Matilda from the 1996 classic film about a little girl who developes telekinesis powers, or Eleven, the little girl who was a government experiment from the recent sci-fi series Stranger Things? It's been an ongoing discussion for several years now and an answer still has not completely been formed. Both sides are very convincing and provide ample evidence to why their choice of character would win. The main factor that is brought up multiple times is that Matilda can manipulate an entire room of things big and small with zero effort, in fact she appears to be invigorated by it. Where as when Eleven uses her powers, especially in that large of a capacity, she uses up much of her strength and usually needs to rest afterwards. However, Eleven has many more instances that prove she is cutthroat in a fight, and in fact, would not hesitate to rip Matilda to shreds, whereas Matilda is just a little girl who moves things around and doesn't want to hurt anybody. So who do you think would win??
