I still think the alternate ending for The Devil Wears Prada is better than the theatrical one

Everyone online seems to love the original ending where Miranda gives Andy that approving nod on the street. But I found the deleted ending where Andy walks away from the magazine completely and starts her own small publication in Brooklyn actually showed more growth. The problem with the original is it felt like Andy was still playing Miranda's game, just with a different coat on. I watched the deleted scene on YouTube about 3 months ago and it made me rethink the whole message of the movie. The nod ending is cute but it doesn't really say anything about leaving toxic environments behind. Has anyone else tracked down that alternate version and felt the same way about it feeling more real?

Wait, have you seen how her character arc actually pays off in that Brooklyn version? My friend Sarah watched it last week and said it reminded her of when her sister left corporate law to start a food truck, that raw feeling of choosing yourself over approval was exactly the same.

37 episodes in and I'm still trying to figure out my own character arc @ellis.mia, but your friend's sister sounds like she's living the dream honestly. That moment when the character finally tells off her boss in episode 12 gave me way too much secondhand anxiety, maybe I need to watch it again to really get the feels.
