Sure, the title is clear enough, but it's so awkwardly worded as well as lengthy. Could we perhaps consider an alternate one?

Cast Reunion Party Ending?

I like that idea, Dragon Quest Z. or maybe just "Reunion Party Ending"?

The awkwardness is part of the charm

Ok, no it isn't; my reaction when I saw the TRS flag was "I'll bet it's about length." And rightly so.

Unfortunately all I can think of is "All That Jazz Ending — and yes, I know why that's a very bad title.

I made a single proposition rename crowner here. I apologize for arriving so late to this topic, but I agree that this title is particularly awkward and long. I think that the trope could also benefit from some clear redirects.

I should also note that some of the examples here seem to think that the trope is any ending where all the characters have a party, not just the imaginary ones.

The crowner seems to be pretty solidly in favour of renaming.

The title is spot on, witty, and even pulls off making a reference to a work that doesn't rely on FanMyopia—so why do we want it changed?

Isn't the goal Clear, Concise, and Witty? I hardly think the name breaks any length milestones, either.

'Cast reunion' is better than 'everybody comes back', and 'fantasy party ending' can be replaced with 'party ending'.

Okay, but "Cast" holds a different connotation than, say, "Character". The first makes me think of the actors, not the roles.

And the fantasy part of the party is sort of key here, because this is also about everyone coming back, even those who really shouldn't be able to.

To be fair, a shorter name would make a fine redirect. If someone could come up with one that actually fits, that is.

Bumping for yet more votes. ...Although, maybe there's really no consensus to rename after all. Perhaps this should be called.

No consensus to rename after nearly 5 months. Locking.
