Hated Tropes (Hated Trope) Endings so awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media.

  1. Two and a Half Men's final episode teased Charlie Sheen's character coming back and going to harm the other characters whilst also having insults to his character and Charlie Sheen himself. It's clear the director had a grudge and the ending where his character comes up to knock then get crushed by a piano before it cuts to the director before he says "winning" before getting crushed by another piano
  2. This was an upbeat animated show about a magical teen princess. The writers desperately wanted a romantic endgame for her and her best friend, but the way they got there was essentially multiversal omnicide. To stop a villain, the main character unilaterally decides magic is the root of all evil and destroys it entirely. By doing this, she casually commits mass genocide against every purely magical being in the multiverse. It also triggers a massive apocalyptic event that violently crashes different dimensions together into a chaotic hellscape. But the show frames this horrific, mass-extinction catastrophe as a sweet, triumphant ending just because two teenagers get to hold hands in the rubble (Star Vs The Forces Of Evil)

Watched it again - it is always the real ending TM (to me)

I haven’t watched the show since it ended - after being a religious nut with this show. But every now and then, I watch the alternate ending and it’s all bliss 😌

That's just cut-together actual scenes of the show.

The clipshow is part of the alt ending. Bob Saget is voicing the narration through it, meaning they had him record those lines. We also see Ted and Tracy's wedding. Those were not in the original ending.

Yeah its true that some lines musst be not from the actual ending. iirc now they made a fuss about filming different endings as not to spoil the actual ending too early.
