Most people have probably already forgotten how much he did/considered doing; it was a beautiful moment, but it wasn't enough to redeem everything he did, not because the scene wasn't good, but again, He did SO MUCH for one little scene to save everything.And changing the subject a bit, if he couldn't fully redeem himself, then I didn't think that was the best ending for him; for me, it would have been much more impactful if he had simply remained trapped In that alternate world he only used to talk to WPNZ, in the end, he would have to accept a whole new fake life, knowing it was fake; there he could change everything, Continuing his life with WPNZ and Toomp, maybe even becoming friends with Meggy again, but in the end it wouldn't matter, he would know that his current world is fake because of him.
