Those kind of endings are what those fairy tales had a few centuries ago.
I like unexpected endings like “tales from the darkside: the movie”
(Singing)
Hello from the dark side…
I must’ve killed all the Jedi…
I can’t say I’m sorry, for blowing up Alderaan…
Could’ve ruled the galaxy, as father and son…
Hello from the dark side…
Do or do not there is no try…
It’s not really easy, to keep building Death Stars…
But it don’t matter it clearly
Doesn’t stop the Empire any
more…
I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it. I just HAD to do it as soon as I saw “darkside”.
I’m smiling.
I always thought those endings were more-or-less supposed to represent that the protagonists of the fairytale had reached a situation where they were happy with the situation they were in- like most peasants in the feudal era didn’t actually have ambitions to rise to the aristocracy, so generally lacking the opportunity didn’t make them unhappy.
And even in medieval times, there were rich peasants and poor aristocrats, Not many, but they existed.
Getting eaten is MY idea of a happily ever after.
That’s the Disneyfied, sanitized ending to the story. In reality the witch ate them(I am assuming children)and was indeed happy and fulfilled, at least until the next wanderers came by.
