Ending ideas - Let it RIP
The “let it rip” message was so heartbreaking to me as someone with an uncle called Mikey who was like my best friend. When I looked at the quote recently a lot for support, I wondered about this, especially with the news that this upcoming season will be the end: has anyone thought that “let it rip” will either be quoted as or be shown like “let it RIP (Rest In Peace), either literally or stylistically? I think Carm could get a message like that as the perfect ending.
Either he thinks, fuck it, let The Bear die or go on without me, let it rest in peace, or there could be a death scene either with his mum or he sees Mikey and he’s at peace letting them go and RIP, or maybe Carm passes…There hasn’t really been a lot of symbology after the first season with the actual bear in the first few minutes on the bridge, so I wondered if they were holding back the truth of Michael’s death until nearer the end, like we actually see it differently to how it happened. The “Let It Rest In Peace” could come up during one of these scenes. It’s strange it started so ethereal with the dreams then moved on from that in subsequent seasons.
Lemme know. I was big into LOST and all the clues and numbers and shit so I’m probably overthinking it, just wanted to chat. Maybe it’s been the plan since day one…I’d also love to hear your ending theories or pitches please!
