There's something awfully cathartic about imagining the entire story as a HAPPY ENDING WITH RECONCILIATION EVERYWHERE YES PLEASE.
Haha. You can probably tell from my prompt Lion King rewrite that I feel exactly the opposite way. Obviously I wish FW had acknowledged his wrongdoing in real life and saved Katte and been nicer to Fritz! But since he didn't, the only thing that feels cathartic to me is hating on FW. :P It's not rational! But when I first read the original write-up, I found myself thinking, "Would I rather have a story where Katte lives but the narration expects me to reconcile with FW, or one where Katte dies but I'm free to keep hating FW?" Really! :D
