How it should have ended.....

i actually quite like this ending.


well done

"she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever."

Uni or no Uni, there is no way Sheila would leave Bobby behind.

United, We Stand!
In God, We Trust!
Like Yoda, We Talk!

I read requiem and I loved how it ended. I actually like Mr. Quick's version of how the story ends too! Yes, Sheila is overprotective of her younger brother, but the lessons that are learned are that they can also take care of themselves and GROW.

I think this makes a good ending too, even if half of them go back to their world.

Might be overkill to ahve them come back/summoned when they are needed, but when the "He who shall not be named" is back in town, the others might have to be called to action again!

Look at "The Real Ghostbusters," and how they handled their cartoon continuation. I think it was pretty nicely done. Although I would have preferred ORIGINAL voices in the last episodes of Ghostbusters Extreme...(ie. Lorenzo Music and NOT Dave Couiller.)

Venger returns...Kills every one. And makes a nice charm of uni's horn after plucking it out of uni's skull....Hey, just a thought.

Okay, so this is a lot darker, but I think it would have been cooler had the kids gone through all the hell they did and then were finally sent home only to discover that their world is now a decimated, post apocalyptic wasteland. The end credits sequence almost backs this up a little as it seems to the D and D ride in quite dilapidated condition. Obviously, with a kid's cartoon, though you can't have a horrible, depressing ending like that, but that's what I get out of it, rewatching the box set almost 30 years later.

I always thought it would end with them back at the amusement park, like they went through some dimensional portal and ended up at the exact same time they started from (so to them it was all like a dream, though the events of the cartoons did take place in an alternate dimension)

But you can't tell from this.. http://www.youtube.com/user/SunbeltRyders/videos

Not bad but the part about Hank becoming president is a bit much. Besides Hank could never become that corrupt (lol). Also, how would the ones who return to Earth explain the disappearance of the other three? Finally, for me the concept from the original would be ending of Venger being redeemed as opposed to destroyed would have to be preserved and in that case I would think it would be he and not Presto who would take over for DM.

I also don't see Sheila, as an older protective sister, so easy to let her brother be raised by some teenagers & an old man who often disappears in a world she knows is dangerous. They met very dangerous enemies that had no connection to Venger there. Now you think losing half the team & half of the magic weapons (bow, shield and cloak) that saved their lives is smart or worse yet have Bobby & Uni travel alone? I don't see it. Sheila returns home & tells her parents she decided to leave Bobby in another world, "but hey what's for dinner?" - I sincerely doubt that.

Bobby is the last person I would expect that would want to stay. The Dragon's Graveyard (episode20) shows all of them excited/happy as they all run for the exit home before Venger destroys it. Afterwards, Sheila seems the least sad saying "cheer up guys, it's not the end of the world", but I think that is more to keep the group's spirits up - not that she wants to stay. Bobby is the most emotionally distraught as he quickly goes from depressed to 'biting/showing his teeth' anger (at Eric for something minor) to crying his eyes out about how he "hates this" and "doesn't want to be in this world anymore" and "wants mom and dad and our house and my friends and...." Hate is a powerful word. Bobby loves Uni, but he gives multiple reasons why he wants to leave and in another episode he accepts that DungeonMaster would take care of Uni if Bobby returns home & is ok with that. Bobby wants to take Uni to his home with him, but the older ones know it wouldn't be easy to hide & raise a unicorn.

Eric is the 2nd last person who wanted to be in that world.

Hank, as the group leader, I think would try to get everyone to make a decision as a group... not permanently split everyone up. Nevertheless, it would ultimately be each individual's decision.

Presto, is the only one that ever said he wanted to stay, but that is when he thought he had the opportunity to study to become a great wizard/magician and learn the full power of his magic hat. Therefore, one could say a now good Venger could be that teacher for him, but Venger may not want to do that. I think a good Venger knows he has a lot of work fixing his wrongs. One could say Dungeon Master would be his teacher - possible - but he seems more like he has places to go & things to do... well, as he puts it "your guide in the Realm of Dungeons & Dragons." Making Presto his DM apprentice is very different than teaching him how to use his magic hat & teaching him how to be a powerful wizard. All that aside, Presto did find a girl he liked in the Realm too so he would have the hardest time leaving, but never once did he even hesitate when he saw a gateway home.

When the Requiem episode ends I think the 1st question Presto (or anyone) would ask before deciding would be "if we leave... can we come back?"
