#we've already had the discussion about how actors can leave a franchise w/o their characters dying i know y'all have brains

It is my opinion that 99% of the time, people act like they accept an ending that makes them unhappy (that is, I should say, Inherently or Statistically sadness-generative) because they're trying to be wise & mature about the situation, smiling through the pain. But corporations & studios bank on this, and whoever raises complaints about the (non-)endings they serve to us are written off as childish, lacking understanding, etc.--and they've often gotten other fans to do this work for them, too!

This also ties into my understanding that a lot of American media, character construction, storylines, etc. just cannot be paired with unhappy endings the way foreign films (which have a higher ratio of unhappy/bittersweet endings) are. You can't just rip out a longstanding comedy (traditional sense) character and stick them in a tragedy. Studios want to take shortcuts and tack-on unhappy endings to achieve a "deep & meaningful"-effect without laying the groundwork of Characters Who Are Meant To End In That Situation.
