Fan Casting Uncertain Doom(Ambiguously Alive, Ambiguously Dead)

Role added by connieblackwood on February 6, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Uncertain Doom (Ambiguously Alive, Ambiguously Dead):

This trope is the fate of any character who possibly didn't make it, but is never actually proven dead. This can happen at any point in a story, but happens so frequently at the end that we have tropes devoted specifically for that situation. Rule of thumb: if Uncertain Doom occurs at the ending of an entire work, it's probably a Bolivian Army Ending. Asking the creators for clarity usually will get you nowhere, as they often aren't entirely sure themselves. If they do confirm the character's death, the ambiguity of this trope allows them to get away with bringing the character back anyway should they change their minds.
