(Hated trope) Remember all these stories and characters we followed for so long? Welp now it’s all reset.

1: using another flashpoint to create the tomorrowverse (Justice League Dark: Apokolips war) after 80-90% of the cast is killed off and billions lives are fated to die Flash and Constantine hatch up a plan to kill baby Darkseid to prevent the entire story from happening which just leads to an entirely different universe being formed and even erasing some characters from existence.

2: Jim travelling to the beginning (Tales of Arcadia series) after multiple characters die including Toby Jim uses a magic gem to travel back to the very first episode but instead lets Toby find the amulet… this changes things how?

In the Maria ending of Silent Hill 2 when James and Maria are leaving she coughs with neither character thinking much of it but to the player this is a signal that this will happen again

[u/ModerNew → u/THEN0RSEMAN]

Yeah, but for Silent Hill 2 it's not the same. It's a loop, the Maria ending just signifies that James didn't change and his doomed to repeat his mistake.

It's not a "bad" ending, but it's not really a reset.
