      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?

      I don't think there is one. At least, not for this particular sub-genre of the Downer Ending... ...which means you get to christen it.

      You don't gotta make a page, just give it a name right here right now. For posterity!

      I'm so bad at that. I guess I might call it "and then I woke up" after No Country, which is where I first noticed it, but that's probably confusing since it's not really about waking up

      If not (necessarily) a downer, it’s called an Epilogue Letter (think Breakfast Club, Donnie Darko.) Yours sounds kind of like “all just a dream” (Wizard of Oz), so might be confusing.https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EpilogueLetter …

      I kind of think it's the opposite of that though? I'm describing endings that go out of their way not to tell us where things go from here or sum anything up with a moral... They just call back to some thematic point and then stop.

      Right, I like "Forget It, Jake" as a trope namer because the last line of dialogue is usually meant to simply tell us that following the story any further would be pointless, there will be no dramatic reversals or redemption past this point

      Yeah, calling the trope "Forget It, Jake" hadn't occurred to me because that line has sort of been abused by jokes like "forget it Jake, it's Twitter" or whatever, which are actually about Twitter or whatever being bad, when in the film Chinatown is also symptomatic of Jake's >

      It's about meaningful change being impossible after this point whether it's because the setting is bad or the characters are bad

          "All Washed Up" might be better, although that could be misused just to mean any ending that ends in failure
