Mythic Quest Ending Altered Due to Apple TV+ Cancellation
Apple recently made an unexpected move by altering the ending of the Mythic Quest season four finale on Apple TV+. The show, which revolves around game developers, was canceled last week, which means there won’t be a fifth season. To wrap up the loose ends, the original cliffhanger ending was replaced with a new version.
The creators of the show, Megan Ganz, David Hornsby, and Rob McElhenney, expressed their pride in the series and gratitude towards the cast and crew in a statement. They also thanked the fans and Apple for their support. With Apple’s permission, the producers re-edited the finale to provide a proper conclusion to the series.
This decision raises an interesting question about the nature of streaming platforms. Unlike physical media, where once something is released, it remains unchanged, streaming services have the ability to update content. Some may argue that offering both versions of the finale would have been a better approach. However, ultimately, the showrunners are content with the revised ending, and perhaps it’s best to trust their judgment.
It’s not the first time creators have revisited their work post-release. George Lucas famously made several changes to the Star Wars films over the years, sparking debate among fans. While some may not agree with Apple’s revisionist approach, for those who missed the original finale, it might be the only version they ever see.
