Forgive me if this has been done to death here, I’m relatively new to this sub. I personally always felt it was more poetically beautiful for Bojack to die. The tragic (anti)hero meeting his end after a chaotic life of destruction to himself and everyone around him. I don’t hate the ending we have, but I always felt there was a certain beauty and closure that felt right
I think I’m one of the few that actually would’ve been okay with either ending. People in the comments saying him dying would’ve been “lazy” writing, I disagree with as I fully expected Bojack to keep on living. I feel as if his death would’ve really thrown me for a loop. A real shocker ending. I do also think it kind of goes against the show’s “life’s a bitch then you keep on living” narrative though. I will say one thing, Bojack’s death would’ve provided me with closure. The ending of the show did not.
