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 don’t think Bojack Horseman is supposed to be tragically poetically beautiful in that way. It’s rougher and more realistic that he has to actually pick himself and try to build a better life again. That’s the more relevant story.
