Rewrite something's ending to make it freaking DARK.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World: Both girls turn Scott down, reasoning that he's treated Knives horrendously, while Ramona wants to abandon her baggage entirely, and they will all have a better chance if they just move on. Scott, although heartbroken, acknowledges his jerkish behaviour over the course of the series/film and prepares to move on.

Then, as he settles down to watch TV, a news report comes on about the mysterious killer who has killed seven people, including a media mogul, a popular actor, and three popular musicians, leaving nothing but coins in his wake.

Then the police arrive...

Earthbound:

Just as Ness strikes the final blow on Giygas he gets a vision of his own mother doubling over in pain in the throes of a miscarriage and he hear's Giygas' laughter in his mind as he fades from reality, having been tricked into killing himself in the womb.

At the final showdown at Hogwarts, Voldemort leans in to Harry's ear and whispers "I made ten of them, biatch."

Final Fantasy 13: The gang come back from being crystals... Including Vanille and Fang. (Remember the last bit: It's important).
Anyway, who shows up but

Spoiler

Jihl Nabaat, who somehow survived being shot in the back earlier. She claps her hands and congratulates the group on their successful genocide, revealing that their actions actually did kill everyone in Coccoon and that they had a PSICOM spy among them the whole time. Saw-style music begins playing as the camera zooms into Vanille's face, showing an evil smirk as she pulls a gun out (Don't ask where from) and shoots everyone except Hope, herself and Jihl. She then says in a terribly British accent (Which explains why her accent was all over the place) "Bloody L'cie. So easy to fool. I'm going to wash this mark off my butt." They then turn to Hope and wonder
what they shall do with him...
Fast forwards a few years and... Well, Remember what happened to Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones? Well, that happened to Hope. The camera zooms in on his cold, dead eyes as he gnaws on a rat. Roll credits

Hey, it just has to be dark. Doesn't have to make sense.

Spoiler: My ending to Gundam AGE

Despite having that fantasy drug like illusion of Yui and other deseased chracters that Flit knew telling him to forgive the Vagan, realising that his grandson Kio has never know the hardship and sorrow he had to endure, decided that he won't let Kio has it his way.
Back in reality with Flit in his Gundam AGE 1 Full Ganza holding onto that super warhead, he fire the warhead onto the Vegan cannon base thing which destory it. Since the cannon are all chain up and are all attached onto the planet, it cause a chain reaction with the explosion went toward the planet atomsphere and into the planet itself, destroying it and killing every single defendless Vagan living in it.
Granted the Vagan are not going to let the Earthling win so the leader (I forgot his name) launch every single warheads from the planet and into space which destory many Earth spaceship and mobile suit, including Flit, Asemu but Kio survive albiet his Gundam FX got badly damage in the process.
This is also that advance AI mobile suit Sid taking over that super Vagan mobile suit Gear to being Sid Gear hybrid as it went on a rampagne killing any reaminging Vagan and Earth spaceships and Mobile suits alike. Since the Gundam FX was badly damaged, Kio was left to witness the carnage dealt by the Sid Gear.
It end as a total massacare which somehow Kio became the sole survival. His failure to saved both Vagan and Earthling and his pasific resolve has all been shattered realising his approach to convince them to peace was all in vain.
Last time anyone had heard of Kio, he end up in a mental hospical as he lost his sanity for a peaceful resolution and also became depress about it all.

Yeah I really hated Kio!!

I didn't have to do much with this one.

Chrono Trigger Ending:
After defeating Lavos, Crono and Marle go to Leene Square to help set up the newly-crafted Nadia's Bell. However, Marle's hand gets stuck in the horde of balloons attached to the bell and Crono jumps after her. They are both pulled up into the sky by a huge mass of balloons and the credits begin to roll. As the credits end, a mass of seagulls fly into the balloons, popping them all and sending the loving couple into a freefall to their deaths, ending the Guardia line and erasing all Marle's descendants from the future.

Ryu KOs M. Bison and wins the Street Fighter tournament. As the finalists and winner are being announced, the crowd can be heard whispering, "Where is the champion?" Ryu is nowhere to be found. Ceremony means nothing to him... because he's a freaking celebrity now. Ryu starts his own business, selling Ryu action figures, making cameos for various commercials and buying out other companies, bankrupting his former sparring partner, Ken Masters. It ends with his master, watching all the Ryu commercials on TV and then hanging himself.

Morrowind:

The destruction of the heart, rather than being gradual, takes immediate effect. For a brief second, the priests across Morrowind see a look of pain and abject terror flash across the face of their self made gods. Amalexia and Sotha Sil (or is he dead by this point?) simply wink out of existence, all trace of their power vanishing.

In Vivec City, the Warrior-Poet Lord of the Dunmer stands and, speaks into the mind of every inhabitant: Forgive Me, before he too is erased from mundus.

Bereft of his power, Baar Dur is ripped from the sky and obliterates the city, the shockwave destroying the entirety of Vvardenfell and triggering the eruption of Red Mountain. Protected by the residual power of the tools and heart, the Nerevarine steps out of the wreckage of the mountain, and witnesses the results of his actions first hand.

Due to the lingering Corpus infection, the now immortal Nerevarine is forced to bear the guilt for the rest of time.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Buffy stares at the crater where the Hellmouth used to be and a slight smile begins to form. The camera pulls back from her face to show her hanging from a light fixture with her neck in a bedsheet noose. The psyche ward doors open and Joyce runs in just as the light fades in Buffy's eyes.

Wouldn't the doctor just get reborn?

Rory slowly tortures every incarnation of the Doctor until there is no more.


Happy? Seems grim as fuck.

 

[Muspelheim]

Babar the Elephant.

The dream of dominance sans tears withers, as Babar and the colonial French puppet regime he represents crumbles. After the Second World War, his most trusted advisor and friend The Old Lady run out of funds, due to reallocating of what little funding in left in the war torn fatherland, and is repartiated to France.
The limited, colonial wars with Lord Rataxes is nothing compared to the strife and rebellion that begins to grow amongst the oppressed people of Celesteville and beyond.

Babar is eventually toppled, forced to flee from his burning palace as the revolt reaches its zenith. However, the rebels soon splits off, and Celesteville being an important piece for the control of Central Africa, the United States and the Soviet Union both begin to back different factions. The United States install a puppet in southern Celesteville, while the Soviet Union plant in representatives of their own in the northern Celesteville communist guerillas.

It soon escalates into open war, between two new tyrants recieving funding and instructions from the Kreml and the White House. Until it become not only prudent but sadly necessary for the two superpowers to invest in the Celesteville Civil War directly.

And on it goes...

There you go! Much much better. Or worse. Or whichever.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

Spoiler: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Dr. Jekyll's Suicide attempt fails horribly, only killing him. Mr. Hyde, on the other hand, is perfectly fine, and now, no longer held back by Dr. Jekyll, and no longer having to worry about turning into him (Because he's completely dead), is free to kill, rape and pillage all through out England. And he starts his new rampage by killing everyone in Dr. Jekyll's house, fallowed by a trip to Mr. Uttersons' home...

Pacific Rim: Ends the same way but to humanity's horror the Kaiju's influence on the world extended beyond what we saw in the movie, and has spawned a new menagerie of monsters:

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Mass Effect 3.

The inevitability of the Reapers' erasure of sentient life sinks into Shepard, as he or she realizes that the term "human" no longer applies to him or her. The protagonist has been touched by an Asari's mind, that triggering fundamental shifts in neurochemistry in the average human brain, while the suspected proofs of slow-burning indoctrination also point to Shepard no longer being able to reason while remaining entirely free of Reaper influence. Couple this with the fact that the character's been extensively patched up by the Illusive Man's med team, and you're left with someone who's little more than a shell clinging onto bits and pieces of human ideals.

The Catalyst's words sink in, and the protagonist realizes he has no other choice but to speed the process along. All of Humanity and of the Council races will live on throughout the great singularity that the final moments of assimilation will bring about, later to be nothing else but spare mnemonic and organic data for Soverign.

For an instant in real time but an eternity in terms of Reaper computation cycles, all that is and has ever been will live on. All will be understood, all will end. There will finally be peace. The Reapers are our salvation from ourselves, and submitting to their rule won't so much extinguish the beauty of the Universe's current life forms, so much as all the pain and suffering they've had to endure.

Shepard doesn't see this as submission or capitulation. He sees it as the justified end of a long and painful crucible. The Catalyst's axiom resonates in his mind as he interfaces with it mind, body and soul.

The created always rebel against their creators - but not this time. This time, the cycle ends. Shepard's logic melds with the Catalyst's own points of view, and it resolves to "park" Reapers throughout former Citadel space instead of retreating back past the Perseus Veil. If one of the former inhabited worlds so much as develops the barest whisper of sentience throughout another evolutionary chain, it'll be burned to ash within moments.

OK, woah, I started writing a dark ending to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, then I realized it was 2 pages, not even halfway done, and I'd spent an hour on it. Why do you make me do this, thread?

I'll just try and think of a short and sweet one.

At the end of Tetris it's revealed that the game was in fact a metaphor for the Soviet Union. Every worker (piece) played their insignificant part and died (was erased) working on projects (lines) with no clear progress (if you do perfectly, you never move much) that were doomed to fail (completed lines are erased). Small mistakes have long lasting consequences on the people (pieces) that come after (missing a fit), and relief (line pieces) is few and far between. If you grow too large (high tower) you are purged (lose game), and all of life is a mad rush (time pressure) to nowhere (at the end of the game all you have done is lost perfectly good blocks).
