Sucker Punch revolves around a group of young women who try to defeat a cruel psychiatric hospital through the fantasy worlds in their heads. The end of the theatrical version is ambivalent: main character Babydoll (Emily Browning) suffers a lobotomy, but her fellow sufferers escape.
Snyder explained to Letterboxd that he wanted to use the original ending for a planned director’s cut:
After Babydoll gets the lobotomy, a police officer shines the flashlight on her. The environment then collapses she gets up and sings a song on a stage, with the text “Child, from now on it will be easier”.
She will be accompanied by all the characters who died in the story. Baby Doll may have suffered the lobotomy but is stuck in the loop of her euphoric victory, Snyder said: “[Das Ende] is both optimistic and non-optimistic at the same time.” According to the director, the original ending was screened for test viewers and caused negative reactions, so it was decided against.
