A friend pointed out my alternate endings were always just 'darker'
I mean, I used to think a better ending just meant making it more grim, like having Frodo keep the Ring or Luke Skywalker join Vader. My buddy in Austin said that's lazy and asked why I never tried a weirdly happy or just plain different outcome. So now I try for one that's not just sad, like maybe in 'The Dark Knight', Harvey Dent gets exposed but lives, and the city has to deal with that messy truth instead of a clean lie. Anyone else get stuck in a rut with their ending ideas?
