Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
If it discusses the ending, consider putting spoiler markup.
Basing just from your writing, it's Bittersweet Ending. Downer Ending would be like hero failing the objective and all hope being lost.

I think this question would be more suitable for "Is this an example" than for Ask the Tropers.
Subsequently discussed on 'Is this an example?'
- resolved now.
As my question implies, was Punisher Max's ending a bittersweet one? Yes, Frank is dead, and Fury says that sooner or later, crime will resurface. However, it's not a complete Downer Ending. Fisk, Elektra, Bullseye, and Vanessa are all dead, and many vigilante groups are fighting back and taking charge of their lives, wearing Frank's skull as their symbol. And like I said, Frank is dead, but at least he's finally reunited with his family in death. So again, I ask, does Punisher Max end on a bittersweet note?
