I’m trying to write a story, and I struggled with this, especially when confronting certain realities:

• While fantasy, the story is meant to reflect some harsh political realities
• Multiple villains are killed, but the heartfelt good guys live.
• The ending has everything fixed and everyone’s happy.

I’m aware most stories don’t come anywhere close to a full happy ending like this. Every Batman story ends with Gotham still a miserable shithole. Every noir story ends with the case solved but everyone broken for it and the city still a dystopia. It generally has good reasoning, to reflect harshness of reality, but that’s a realm of fantasy I really want to venture into; one where things just work out.
