Subaru marrying Emilia is a boring ending

This isn’t even meant to be about the age thing where emilia will live out Subaru or anything related to the usual general in verse flaws with them getting married at the end

It’s how incredibly boring and pointless everything will feel after. Tappei has treated Emilia and Subarus relationship more like a mystery than a relationship.

And as all mysteries go in stories once they are solved the excitement fades quickly. Giving the answer to a mystery sometimes hurts a story more then it helps it as well

I have no idea why tappei would tell everyone they are getting married it almost feels like he’s just going to self-insert as Subaru and the end

The reason this is not only a dark ending but also a bad ending is I can see it tying into ‘why does love fade?’ which may be the entire point of this to make the viewer question why it was so unsatisfying

The only issue with this is Emilia simply not having the build up required to make it feel authentic

Rather than getting closure you question what was the point of Subaru going through all of this for what?

Re:Zero has been 10 years in the making and tappei has focused more on reinhards divine protections then Emilia’s character

I’m not even sure if tappei is as interested in the story as he’s created his own ticking time bomb

It might be better not finished or left on a cliffhanger since all I know is seeing subaru marry at the end is going to be a ‘cool Subaru finally got the girl’

I hope he was trolling but I doubt it since another way you can view it is ‘tappei self inserting and marrying Emilia’

She is his dream wife after all

curious what others think the ending might entail I’m setting my expectations very low so maybe whenever it’s finished it’ll be decent
