3 ways Snowpiercer could end with the latest events

As a seasoned gamer and long-time fan of post-apocalyptic narratives, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation as we approach the final episodes of Snowpiercer. Having survived countless virtual apocalypses, I’ve learned to expect the unexpected in these scenarios.

It appears that all significant characters are currently residing in or around New Eden on the show Snowpiercer. As we’re down to just two episodes left, let’s speculate about potential outcomes for the series finale.

Caution: This post contains SPOILERS for Snowpiercer Season 4, Episode 8.

Indeed, only two more episodes remain in the entire series. Given the current state of affairs, it’s anyone’s guess as to what might transpire next. The intriguing part is whether the creators intended to conclude the story with an optimistic note or if they preferred a somewhat somber ending instead.

Recall the movie’s finale: Snowpiercer suffered a crash, leaving only a handful of survivors. Miraculously, these two individuals managed to step off the train without freezing, implying that the planet might be warming. The story subtly hinted at their potential role in repopulating Earth.

Might the TV show conclude with a comparable ending, given recent developments? Let’s consider some possible ways it might wrap up.

Nima and the Animal Squad are killed in the Snowpiercer series finale

If the story chooses to follow a conventional happy ending by eliminating the Animal Squad and Nima, it would eliminate the threat in New Eden. This scenario would give everyone aboard both Big Alice and Snowpiercer the freedom to make their own decisions once more. They could opt to return on Snowpiercer for a journey around the world or settle in New Eden instead.

There’s some uncertainty about how much longer New Eden might persist, given Alex’s observation that it appears isolated, like a bubble. Bubbles can indeed pop, and it seems like Nima is planning to spread his chemical substance worldwide with the intention of preventing such an eventuality, suggesting that he believes New Eden’s existence could be short-lived.

Everyone gets back on Snowpiercer to follow Melanie’s timeline?

It’s clear that some individuals decide to stay in New Eden despite its potential dangers. On the other hand, we witness Nima and the Animal Squad being eliminated, with Melanie reclaiming control once more. Given her research findings, she now has the power to lead the entire mission aimed at reviving the Earth.

From now on, this task will appear on her schedule. She understands it might take about five years or more with some effort. However, the challenge is that only Nima can accomplish this task. A possible scenario could be that Alex and Melanie manage to persuade or trick the Animal Squad into following them, capturing Nima in the process, so he completes his chemical formula before they release him.

Nearly everyone boarded the Snowpiercer, and ultimately, they circumnavigated the globe. Unfortunately, they couldn’t restore the train to its original state, but with Milius out of control, the atmosphere would become healthier.

Nima and the Animal Squad succeed in their plan in the Snowpiercer finale

Pondering an alternate scenario here as a die-hard fan: If the series takes a more somber turn, what if Nima ultimately triumphs? That victory might lead to Big Alice’s downfall and potentially the destruction of New Eden. In this twist, his actions could ignite his compound, resulting in precisely the events Melanie warned about unfolding.

Could it be that the real apocalypse might transpire for humanity? Perhaps there exist individuals in subterranean shelters who have access to all our knowledge, effectively fast-forwarding our lives by several decades before emerging again, or simply discovering that life continues beneath the earth.

The conclusion may be grim, given it’s a characteristic of dystopian narratives. Not every story concludes happily; the ending might not align with what you expect based on previous seasons of Snowpiercer.
