When it comes time for an author to wrap everything up, the final judgment on his ultimate creation hinges on the conclusion: an ending can make or break an entire work or series. So important is the ending, in fact, that it's especially subject to Executive Meddling and public influence. Can be seen as a form of Author's Saving Throw if the Revised Ending was created to appease audiences. Be warned, considering this trope is specifically about the endings to works, it should be painfully obvious that spoilers are going to occur. Examples of Revised Ending include:

abstract	When it comes time for an author to wrap everything up, the final judgment on his ultimate creation hinges on the conclusion: an ending can make or break an entire work or series. So important is the ending, in fact, that it's especially subject to Executive Meddling and public influence. The biggest problem arises when the author has already written and/or produced the final ending and executives or test audiences dislike it, most commonly due to it being a Downer Ending. They pressure the author to change the ending to one they think the public will like better, usually to a Happily Ever After. The author reluctantly complies and the ending is changed. If the endings were radically different, what usually happens is that the original ending is revealed to the public in a later edition, and fans become split between favoring the original or revised ending. For some reason, Downer Endings are usually considered to be the better of the two (partly because they are more likely to be the original, and people get hung up on "the director's original vision" - and of course, True Art Is Angsty). But as was previously mentioned it can be the exact opposite as well. Can be seen as a form of Author's Saving Throw if the Revised Ending was created to appease audiences. Be warned, considering this trope is specifically about the endings to works, it should be painfully obvious that spoilers are going to occur. Focus Group Ending is a subtrope. When the revised ending changes an ending that was already shown, it's also an Orwellian Retcon. Examples of Revised Ending include:
