It Lives In the Woods has the potential for a mostly happy ending and I have not given up hope yet of them fixing that. And even if they don't, they have at least returned sanity to the one who died. Not great, but good enough. And it is possible to save all of the MC's friends, all of them including Noah. Obviously I don't know what will happen in It Lives Beneath, but it can never have a fully happy ending and that's been clear for a couple months. You cannot have a happy ending for Imogen and Parker. That was never possible, because people they loved were the enemy.

I think you are the first person I have ever heard describe the potential endings of Endless Summer as well done. The only memorable most people gave it are, they hated it or it was the worst done ending Choices has ever done or it seemed like they took everything that still needed to be done and smooshed it together. As you say, to each their own.

You are right that both men killed themselves, yet another reason I think it was stupid to make these real men love interests. And while historical accuracy would be nice. . . I have no real expectations of that for this or Desire & Decorum and have to take them as they are, poor psuedo historical fiction (or alt history perhaps). Yes, there is a framework of historical fact mixed in and most of the names or the movers and shakers in the story are accurate or at least kind of accurate. But no, I don't think this will end up being all that accurate in points like that. They don't care about the relationships those men had in real life and I sincerely doubt they care about what really happened to them, because to them what they think makes a good story is all that matters.
