The original ending of Huck Finn is one of the best endings of all time, with an emancipatory and rebellious message of anti-racist solidarity. Huck is being pressured to give up Jim or burn in hell for all eternity and go to jail for aiding in the escape of a fugitive slave. Huck's response is "Alright I'll go to hell". It's perfection, and these fucking grimdarkslop author thought they would 'improve' it by making it yet another tragic black-death and taking away one of the most inspiring endings in fiction to make it generic sad gritty bullshit
Right? It's such a perfect, definitive line. I liked James and Huck Out West for the most part but some of these sound not only unnecessary but absolutely misguided.
