Photo of possible Batman/Superman film logo mention?[edit]

Should there be a mention of the Batman/Superman logo in the film? - Batman3095 (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, if there are independent reliable sources discussing the supposed logo as a significant aspect of the film. (Spoiler: There aren't.) - SummerPhD^v2.0 17:41, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What is her full name?[edit]

This article states that Anna Montez is Anna's full name. What source proves that? In the credits it just says "Anna". This lack of prove is annoying. --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 04:38, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update: In the alternate ending that was true to the book and seeming out-of-character regarding the darkseekers, she says her full name: [1] at 3:14 and a quote from http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=4949 -

Change of scene. Robert, Anna and the boy are leaving the town. We hear a taped radiomessage from Anna: "My name is Anna Montez. There are other survivors. I am traveling with Dr. Robert Neville and a boy named Ethan. We're heading north on Route 17 to Bethel, Vermont. Keep your radio on. Listen for our broadcasts. You are not alone. There is hope. Keep listening. You are not alone."

Please take note. Neither the theatrical nor the alternative ending are "true to the book" unless you mean the movie script. Richard Matheson wrote a completely different ending in his novel, which differs in many other places as well. In fact, this movie is the one least true to the novel.2003:CA:3F0F:FCBF:B9CA:E684:70DC:3967 (talk) 18:32, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I was confused because her full name does not appear in the transcript of the main movie. --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 14:26, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate ending[edit]

There was this whole section without any source claiming there's an alternate ending. If it's true, feel free to add it back, the content was copy and pasted below

Alternate ending

The alpha male stops its attack on the glass door, making a butterfly-shaped smear on it. Neville realizes the alpha male is identifying the female upon which he was experimenting by a butterfly tattoo, and the Darkseekers simply want her back. Amazed that they have the intelligence to try to communicate with him, as he had previously believed the infected had lost all humanity, Neville puts his gun down and returns the female. After Neville wakes the female up, she cries upon seeing the alpha male and they rub heads. Neville softly apologizes, having realised that while the Darkseekers are no longer human, they still retain some of their humanity and emotions. The alpha male keeps the other Darkseekers back and orders them to leave. Shocked by the ordeal, Neville sits down for a moment in his laboratory, realizing that he was the monster in the Darkseekers' eyes. Looking over the pictures of his numerous test subjects, the implications of his research methods begin to dawn on him, causing him to feel remorse and relief at the same time. The following day, Neville, Anna, and Ethan drive away from the city under a new broadcast, recorded by Anna, with a message to any human survivors that they "are not alone". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 191.248.208.61 (talk) 19:49, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The page contains an alternate ending which is not good. So I want to change it.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 06:24, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A similar IP has already removed this ending without explanation and was reverted several times before this page was protected. Can you explain why you think the alternate ending is "not good", or should be removed? --Fru1tbat (talk) 12:55, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
