What would be a good alternate ending to the movie Edward Scissorhands?

Question

The Storyline goes like this:
A modern day fairy tale which tells the story of Edward, the man created by an inventor, who died before finishing him and left Edward with scissors where he should have hands. One day when the local "Avon" representative calls at the historic mansion where Edward has been living alone, she takes him home to stay with her family. He has to adapt to the new life and environment that he isn't used to. Soon he shows a talent in cutting hair and hedges, and wins every body's heart. But life isn't always so sweet...

Edward kills Jim after Edward sees him hurt Kim. He and Kim know that if he goes back to Suburbia they'll kill him, so they kiss, she tells him she loves him, and she leaves him in his mansion. They never see each other again. It turns out the old woman narrating the story is Kim, telling the story of Edward to her granddaughter, and that he is the reason that snow falls from the sky from then on, because he's making ice sculptures.

Answer 1

its a hard one, because the ending is such a classic "it has to be this way" ending. Kim loved Ed, Ed loves Kim, but they can't be together in the end because of everything that has transpired (killing Jim, Ed's misshapes with the community and the community's ridiculous first idolatry then hatred and fear towards Ed, etc.) I of course always wanted Ed and Kim to run away together and live somewhere where people accept them and life would be better, but of course, the movie is an allegory for life and how things rarely work out that way when two people who love each other are radically different, at least in the eyes of society. of course, these things can be overcome, but sometimes life becomes such a huge mess, its just better to sacrifice love and happiness for things to go back to "normal". its sucks, but this is always what I think of when this movie ends. the price of normalcy.

Answer 2

after the snow fall, kim "the old lady go out of the mansion and was astonished o what she saw. Snow flakes falling every were, when every time each flakes touches the ground it creates a sound that forms a melody that comes from edward. A dead tree on the garden was touched by one of those falling flakes and the tree turns to green as if it was before. then one of yhe snow flakes fell on kim"s eyes and she cant explain what had happen. She saw the memories of her and edward under the dead tree and as she saw her self in the window"s glass she saw her face turned smooth as if she turned back the time. Then a light from a tree struck her eyes, it was so bright that all she can see is the glimmering tree. then suddenly a creature with a wing, a wing as if like a fairy, and un expectedly she saw edward. And they cherish all there memories from the past untill the time they must leave. After what happen kim was found by her granddaughter lyingdead under the dead tree. then KIm and Eward was together in heaven

Answer 3

Edward cuts off jims hands to replace his scissors and edward and kim skip the country to live on a tropical island....

or better yet they could have shown a bit more johnny depp flesh...mmmm yummy man;)

Answer 4

Edward goes on a scissor rampage and eliminates Jim's family. He starts a underworld mafia gang and elopes with Kim. They eliminate their enemies and keep the police in their pocket (bribe them) so Don Scissorhands never gets caught for his crimes. "Leave the scissors, take the cannolli."
