What makes the original ending so bad?
>>86348798
Wait what do you mean ,there's other versions/endings.
>>86351171
The original ending is better, dumb nigger.
They changed it because a test group of retards didn't like that it wasn't a happy ending.

With 'original' I meant the theatrical ending.
>>86351555
Even so, that post still holds the answer.
Theatrical ending is the definition of a "focus group ending", trading artistic vision for the whims of a pleb audience.

Theatrical, I don't care what the fans of the original ending say: I still prefer this one. Seymour was not a cold-blooded killer: he just a patsy who happened upon some bad circumstances. He didn't directly kill anybody, and in the end, he finally came to his senses by putting an end to the plant, saving the world, and getting the girl of his dreams. And as far as this "oh, the original tells of the folly of greed" crap, what I gather from that is that the whole world have to suffer because Seymour made a couple of bad choices. He was basically a good person with a good heart. Didn't Seymour turn down Patrick Martin's offer to sell Audrey 2s? If he was truly greedy, he would have been like: "Screw them, I want the money." But no, like A Christmas Carol, it showed that a person can change his life around if he wants to. I HATED the original ending, because although it looked fantastic, it was just dark for the sake of dark. If all a movie is going to tell you at the end is: "the world sucks, people are evil, and life has no purpose", then you are providing the audience with absolutely nothing in the end. You have to leave a movie with something.

It's short, chep, lame, isn't the vision of the creators.
>>86353135
But it does fit the tone of the movie better.

>original ending doesn't fit
There's not paying attention and being utterly blind. You're trying way too hard to dig up Disney morals where they never intended to be any.

You seem to be forgetting how corny and all-in-good-fun the rest of the movie was, like Orin flying in on his motorcycle, the Bill Murray scene, and the goofiness of some of the scenes, like "I couldn't help but notice that strange and interesting plant in the window! Well, while I'm here, I should buy $100 worth of roses. To immediately shift to such a depressing tone (especially because I saw the theatrical ending as a kid, and this caught me by surprise) completely feels wrong, as if the dark ending was the redo, and the theatrical one was the original

>implying the epilogue wasn't done in the same tone as the opening text roll
>implying Seymour and Audrey being reunited in Tooey's belly isn't fitting
Fucking kid.

Doesn't matter, all endings suck.
>>86356979
Original ending is kino.
>>86352615
Thanks for the spoonfeeding anon it's much appreciated. The original is much better even just for the fright of the plant coming through at the end, but it was just a sign of the times everything was a happy ending back then.
>>86358142
The original ending would be much more easily accepted today.
Director's Cut or Theatrical?
