If 2020 was a disaster movie, how would you end it? (lighthearted)

[TheABC]

Just that...

Mine would be a cure and the hunky scientist sipping champagne in front of TV watching his corrupt adversary taken away in handcuffs.

Or Godzilla rising from the sea. Just for the B-movie vibe.

With The Rock flattening all of the annoying Government personalities who have come to the fore since Lockdown ( Cummings, Im looking at you) and forcing them to agree to an election with only MPs who want to work for their constituencies and not those who are seeking an easy ride with their mates .
With a newly inspired and honourable government being formed he is made a Lord and he sings the Youre Welcome song to end the movie.
Id watch it

I'd like Cthulhu to make an appearance, raise all the old gods and bring the apocalypse in style.

It being discovered that it was the corrupt president of the USA who caused the virus. He loses the election and is taken away in handcuffs. A unanimous vote is made to allow a handsome ex president to run again and he wins by a landslide!

Kim Jong Un has the cure for covid and world leaders have to decide whether to work alongside him, adopting his regime or allow their populations to die.

Bobby Ewing comes out of the shower and it was all a strange dream.

Covid never finds a cure, population further diminishes, humans leave a smaller footprint and rewilding takes place on a global scale.

iklboo - that's the one!

iklboo
I only came on here to say that exact same thing!!
Showing our age too!

Boris makes a 7pm announcement that it's all been a trial run exercise in case of a real pandemic.

I wake up in the Matrix or discover I've been in my personal hell and actually died some time in February

Trump catches the virus and his last words are 'I can't breathe'.

The beings from Dominic Cummings' planet come to take him home

and they vacuum covid, brexit, trump and Putin off the planet at the same time

It transpires that a small secretive group of elite king fu fighter orphans raised in an evil monastery in Tibet have infiltrated the Chinese communist regime in an attempt to start the war to end all wars and impose their theology on the world created and released covid with the intention of weakening their enemies before launching the attack. The film ends on a cliff hanger. There is no cure and the world is about to be thrown into a war like no other. The screen goes dark and the words The End of Part I appear. But it’s so absurd it tanks at the box office and no sequel is ever made.

Channing Tatum, The Rock, Jason Mamoa and Vin Diesel, walking in slow motion, topless and sweaty towards me wouldn't be a bad ending to the year.

It was all a dream.....

Well the Three Gorges Dam going could really be the cherry on top.

The ending of Cabin in the Woods.... everything was being done to give fresh blood to a bunch of old demons, who agreed to let the majority live in exchange for a few sacrifices. Then the whole system crumbles, the demons rise up, cut to black, who knows what happens next.

Or the final scene of Angel, as they charge towards the hellmouth.

Omg, I absolutely love cabin in the woods! I’m going to watch it again tonight now!

Dominic and Boris are at Barnard Castle, through a secret door in the dungeon marked do not enter. Dom sniggers, steps in.... and falls into the heart of the volcano. He catches Boris's ankle as he goes and they both descend into the fire.

Meanwhile...

Scientist (female) runs out of lab shouting eureka! Managed to reverse the DNA of the virus, so all can be cured and it will cost next to nothing.

@Wilburgh and Bradley Whitford, ammiright?!?!?! 😍

Easy. The Second Coming. Jesus riding in on a big cloud with lightning everywhere.

It was all a dream, we wake up surrounded by muscly men and free booze on the beach. Trump and boris have been kidnapped by aliens and we all live happily ever after.

@timeforabiscuit Knepp takes over the world

The human race dies out and the dolphins take over.

Would that be better or worse?

A cure is found by an evil pharamaceutical multinational but it's held in a secret safe room in the top of a skyscraper in (insert exotic city of your choice here) and only Tom Cruise and the Rock can get to it.

Meanwhile the all-woman science team trying to reverse-engineer it (led by Helen Mirren, with Gal Gadot, Felicity Jones, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Michaela Cohen as her team of side-kicks) get drawn into some side action dealing with a giant astroid hurtling towards the earth. They realise that if they deflect it just a bit, the EMP resulting from its interaction with earth's magnetic field will fry the virus due to a hitherto unknown scientific effect known as the Maxwell-Farraday-DNA-hokum effect.

Everyone lives, and as a bonus, the EMP fries the servers for twitter, facebook, etc. so that everyone can live a much happier more productive life without FOMO and other forms of internet-induced guilt.

Tom Cruise and the Rock are a bit disappointed to find that their efforts were just a minor sub-plot to ramp up dramatic tension, but reluctantly agree that their disappointment is of small importance compared to the fact that the main plot is an epic Bechdel pass!

Helen Mirren and the Rock live happily ever after.
