“American Horror Story: Freak Show” is all about otherness, ignorance, and isolation. The lives of the carnival performers are marred by violence, although they are also coveted and subject to voyeurism. Thematically, it’s a very interesting season, though some viewers think that switching the manner of Stanley and Dandy’s deaths would have made a lot more sense considering their respective storylines. In a Reddit thread discussion, fans explained why Stanley should have died in the water tank, while Dandy should have been maimed and left in a cage.
“Stanley should have met his end in [a] water-filled glass case (like oddities he coveted), and Dandy as the ‘star of the show,'” wrote Reddit user u/MonkeyMan504. Some viewers even wondered if those plotlines were mixed up. “I completely agree. It’s almost like their deaths were mixed up during the script writing by accident,” said u/RoseOfDawn. Reddit user u/the_skeleton_queen couldn’t help but concur, writing, “Exactly! To me, it would have really brought a sense of karmic justice to the characters and made the finale a lot more fulfilling.” This version of events made more sense for a lot of viewers. “Wow. Reading this makes me angry that it ISN’T this way. Fantastic idea. Kind of shows how they didn’t think things through as much as they could have,” said Reddit user u/I_Trust_OP.
It’s far too late to change the story now, but these fans certainly have a point.
