Ive clocked something i haven't really seen anyone talk about yet and wanted to bring it to the fromilies attention. I believe Randal was chosen to be spared by the monsters in S3 (entity also) BECAUSE of S4 story walker julies actions back into S2....
As u yall can see in the pics, its the SAME monster that offers the keys to boyd in exchange for Randal that was ALSO present for future S4 julie storywalking back into S2 and when the monster has its altercation with Julie she screams out Randal names multiple times to that SAME monster...
Sooooo Story walker julie frm S4 essentially goes back to S2 Screams randals name for help multiple time as shes storywalking and then later on in S3 randal is spared & chosen to be abducted by the same monster that attacked story walker julie. We never knew why that was until NOW (S4)....The monsters clocked Randal helping the story walker bc the storywalker mentioned his name while storywalking.
Now im not sure what it all means bc the whole predestination, fate & them playing into roles aspect of the show makes things confusing & brings about alot of questions BUT what I do know is STORYWALKING had a part to play in Randal being spared by the monsters not saying he wasnt meant to always be chosen to be spared but this is the explanation as to how it went about. Thru julies storywalking.
