If the example actually fits Audience-Alienating Ending, feel free to rewrite it with more context relevant to the trope.
Macron's notes
If the example is indeed rewritten, that edit does not constitute Edit War.
Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra Nova
Audience-Alienating Ending requires that it receive such backlash it caused fans to retroactively stop caring about the series as no longer worth the disappointing ending or the backlash such even non fans would here about it and outright avoid the work over it. Do those apply in-universe?
Hmm, I guess not. One character suggests watching the sequel series to the one with the alienating ending and the characters admit the rest of the series is good.
Yes, merely disliking the ending isn't enough. The disliked ending has to drive people away from the work as a whole.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
I was checking the history for Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed and found this was deleted by Hello 83433:
The editing reason was "misuse", but I know that the example is valid. I'm also aware that Ending Aversion has been renamed Audience-Alienating Ending. I think the problem is that the example as written doesn't really convey the trope very well. Would it be okay if I were to rewrite it?
I {=P Med=} Hello 83433 a week ago and haven't heard back.
