      Is there a trope name for the kind of ending that The Last of Us, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and No Country for Old Men all share? By which I mean ending on a downer conversation really suddenly where a character says something negative that seems to sum it all up and then credits?

      Looking over the TV Tropes entry for "Downer Ending," might be a more specific variant listed, not seeing one just yet…https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DownerEnding …

      Yeah I mean I'm aiming for more specific. Shakespeare tragedies have downer endings which also spend significant time on oratory about what will happen next and how sad it all is. This is specifically about the semi-ironic decision to continue past tragedy a while, then stop

      No Country is the purest example of this because it's a full on failure - our two sets of heroes are both defeated by the villain, then he gets wounded and escapes anyway, like a tease to the audience, then the surviving hero talks about how reality sucks compared to dreams. Fin.

      Or Chinatown, also a classic example someone pointed out that I forgot, although it doesn't continue nearly as far. NGE is a pretty pure example too - it lets us hold out hope there's some meaning in what Shinji did, but instead he just gets called out for being scum. The end.

      "Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown" is such an all-timer of a movie quote and should be the trope namer if this gets a trope entry (ForgetItJake)

          An older reference than Chinatown would be Double Indemnity, where Edward G. Robinson ends the movie by just casually saying "You're all washed up" (which would also be a good trope namer) We don't actually need to see the protagonist getting arrested and going to prison
