Put it this way, when you write an extraordinarily successful series for 15 years and finally bring it to a close, then (and only then) are you qualified to dictate how someone should have written their story (or story's ending). Because I can hear the whole "it's our opinion, we can say what we want!" crowd getting their feathers ruffled, small disclaimer: I don't care if you don't like the ending.

As humans, we either like something or we don't, especially when it comes to writing. What gets my jimmies ruffled is when internet commentators, regardless of credentials, want to say they know better than the author about their own series. You don't. You're not going to convince me, or anyone else for that matter, that you do: so don't.

It was never going to end the way you wanted it to. It was only ever going to end the way Kishi wanted it to. The end. /rant
