10 More Happy Movie Endings That Ignored One Devastating Thing

9. He Literally Stole That Guy’s Body - Source Code

The happy ending tacked onto the end of Source Code might not exactly be earned, but at least we get to see Jake Gyllenhaal’s Colter Stevens given a chance at life and love.

Instead of his life simply ending and the source code sticking to its own established rules, he discovers that he’s able to live in the alternate universe that the technology gives him access to.

But Wait...

Putting aside concerns that none of this actually makes sense, the happy ending given to Stevens might as well be a right royal middle finger salute to the unseen victim in this whole situation.

Why does nobody think about Sean Fentress?!

You know, the guy who owns the body that Stevens repeatedly Quantum Leaps into to try and stop the terrorist attacks. The unwilling body-snatch candidate who presumably never consents to his part in the mission.

And if that wasn’t enough, Stevens just flat out steals Fentress’ body in the only alternate reality in which he isn’t blown up. Which seems like a fairly unfair ending for an innocent victim, don’t you think?
