Halloween Town V: The Dark Thorns (idea)

Ah Corpse Bride... Corpse Bride Corpse Bride... what a dissapointing ending that was to me (though unfortunately it will become a Hot Topic psycho product because it was made by Tim Burton).

How it should have ended?

Well I liked it up until the church scene and jeez... I can not remember names so bear with me. Victor... Victoria... and Emily, yes? Okay, well for starts, if they wanted to do the ending that they wanted to they should have explained in the film of the old folktale that women who were murdered get either reborn as butterflies, or turn into butterflies. See... that's why the ending didn't make any sense, unless someone knew the folktale they were left grasping at straws.

Now in my opinion Victor and Emily (the corpse bride) were much better suited for each other, they had a sense of excitement in them (even though Victor was more jittery), and love was obviously starting to bloom between them. As the movie drew to a close, with the church scene and the drink of poison so they'd be married and together and Victoria showing up. I think it was right that Emily drew attention to the fact that she was there, but instead of giving up her own dreams of being happy and finding true love, Victoria should have been able to see that Victor was willing to die for the corpse bride and stepped to the side with her and said something along the lines that love like that should exist beyond death, and that it gives her the strength to make her own way. Victoria would kiss her on the cheek, despite her rotting apperance, and stepped away. Emily would have taken Victor's hand, smiling as he looked at Victoria and she nodded, almost as if letting him go, or letting him do what he wanted for once instead of being pushed around. The ceremony would continue, and the potion would be drank as a tear escaped Victoria's cheek, wiping it away as she would be the first to start clapping in celebration of them. Emily and Victor (newly dead) would spin around and start to walk down the aisle, and the cheers would start into a slightly more upbeat song and the two of them would start running down the aisle to the main exit.

As they both stepped out into the moonlight, the crowds swarming around them, and Victoria pushing through to the front. As soon as she is able to see the scene she would see the smiles that Victor and Emily share as Emily turns into hundereds of butterflies, flutterring around Victor as he'd turn to look at Victoria, him smiling and mouthing the words 'I will never forget you.' Then he would become butterflies as well and they'd fly off into the moonlight, by this time a female narrator would have begun to speak describing them flying off to make their new lives, a life of their afterlife while the friends cheered around them.

Cut to a new scene of a town being overlooked from a window, the scene shifting to show a piano as delicate fingers trailed over it, walking towards the desk that has a glass over a butterfly. The hands pull off the glass and the butterfly flutters around, while the hands open up a thick book and with a quill pen scrawls in neat peninminship while the female narrates the entire time, 'Thus ends the story of the Corpse Bride.' The seen pulls away and we see that Victoria was writing the entire story, she watched as the butterfly flies out the window, she looks happier then before, almost if she is at peace with herself. The buttefly itself flies down and down and down, the noise of piano playing gets louder, and louder as it goes deeper and the last seen is that we see both Emily and Victor playing the piano together.

Now that is how I think it should have been, it would have given me more satisfaction. Now while I like that ending they could of avoided the entire 'wth!?' feeling at the end by explaining somehow about the folklore and butterflies then I probably would have liked the ending.
