The wait for Stranger Things’ fifth and final season has become a never-ending trial for the Hawkins-hungry fans, which can only mean one thing: the surge of fan theories. So long, fans were on a roll about their predictions surrounding the core Upside Down members and their fate in the upcoming chapter intended to bring the story of Stranger Things to full circle. However, with the final season inching closer with each passing day, fans have got down to business, strategizing a perfect end for a season 4 evil force that is not Vecna.

A Stranger Things fan recently took to Reddit, floating the idea of what awaits Andy in the upcoming for the season 4 character portrayed by Clayton Royal Johnson.Andy is honestly worse than Jason and I’m curious what season 5 will do with him,” the Reddit user wrote, hoping he gets his “karma” in time. The fan pointed out Andy’s unruly behavior in the last installment, noting the scenes where he tackled Erica, and joked about a murder in Hawkins.

As the Andy callout on Reddit served as a cue for the Hawkins-hungry fans to join in the thread, it turned out the user who started the thread was not the only non-fan of the character. Several fans joined forces to reference Andy’s non-favorite theatrics that got on their last nerve in the fourth season. As a result, the enthusiasts could come to terms with only one fitting end for Andy and that is an unapologetic, merciless death.

Stranger Things fans go unhinged predicting Andy’s future in the fifth season

After a decade of exploring the Upside Down, Stranger Things has been on a mission to bring its story full circle. With fans on their toes to watch the creators tie the loose ends one by one, they expect nothing less than poetic justice for Andy, hoping “he dies.” Some fans even made some readjustments to his character portfolio, calling him a “psychopath” who deserves to be “ripped limb from limb.”

Fans recalled the season 5 sneak-peek, reminiscing Dustin’s bruised face while suspecting “it’s Andy’s work.” A few folks believed Andy may have known who was murdered deep down, but in turn, he realized “he was free to encourage Jason’s worst impulses.” Hence, although some could meet halfway for a “redemption” arc for Jason, they were surely not ready to lose their sleep over Andy at all causes.
