Oh, my pleasure! Any time.
I loathe “Two Years Later” endings. They’re just extra information. A self-fanfic. I hate a deus ex machina ending of any kind. And I don’t like endings that don’t pay off at all, as in there’s no recognizable final conflict that’s connected to the central question. Also, I hate endings that try to tie up every loose end and subplot in a barrage of expositional dialogue. That stuff should be sewed up in its own scene with its own beat or be cut from the setup.
A good ending, OTOH, gives an answer to the question posed by your theme, in the tone you have chosen, to a character whose soul depends on it.
Frinstance…
A rom com asks ‘How will these two ever get together?’ and the tone runs from amusing to farcical.
Of course, the universal-truth-question of a rom com is, ‘is love real?’ and in a rom com the answer is always ‘Yes, yes, a million times yes!’ which is why audiences keep accepting the premise. That’s what they want to feel at the end.
Strong endings know what the question is and answer unambiguously by resolving an insurmountable-seeming final challenge in a cathartic way.
