Was Killing Ruth (Julia Garner) Inevitable? Disappointed Fans Theorize Alternate Endings for &#8216;Ozark&#8217;

Going into the finale of Ozark, fans knew someone was going to die. The bets
were on Marty or Wendy at least. Instead, the ending baffled viewers when Ruth
drew her last breath. The twisted crime drama closed the curtains in the most
dramatic fashion possible. But fans weren’t happy with the writer’s decision to
write off Ruth. Many wanted the badass queen to come out of it alive. And now
they have made their own alternate Ozark endings about how they could save Ruth
and kill off some of the bad guys.


OZARK ALTERNATE ENDINGS THAT ALLOW RUTH TO AVOID HER FATE


MARTY DIES SAVING RUTH

Reddit user Hypermanatee1398
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Ozark/comments/ul8rhd/spoilers_my_good_ending_for_the_ozarks/]
has created his own neat Ozark [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ozark/] ending
that has Marty [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/marty-byrde] die in place of Ruth,
while Wendy [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/wendy-byrde] ends up dead or in a
coma. In his version, Marty fights Camila to save Ruth. He dies as a hero, and
his kids along with Ruth and Rachel get out of town for good. 


THREE KILLS CAMILA

In another alternate ending, Three could have saved Ruth. According to
HooliganZoo_
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Ozark/comments/uh1oy6/spoilers_this_is_what_should_have_happened/]
Ruth’s flashback should have shown Wyatt using a gun to save her and Three. 
Later, Three could have used the very gun to blow off Camila’s head. In a
strange turn of events, Navarro also dies and Ruth ends up running the cartel.

While HooliganZoo_’s is more violent, keeping with the tone of the series, while
BiggsIDarklighter’s
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Ozark/comments/ughrjn/spoiler_alternate_ending/]
version is more comical. Three is the one to save Ruth again but after Camila
joins hands with Ruth. Apparently, in his version, Camila appears grateful to
Ruth [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ruth-langmore] for killing off Javi, who was
just a big pain in her life. Unfortunately, Three misreads the situation and
blows her brains off.

OMAR IS ALIVE

However, CudiMontage216’s
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Ozark/comments/ugifb1/spoilers_alternate_ending/]
ending is possibly the best ending. He brings back Omar from the dead. More
cunning and ruthless, he’s way ahead of Camila and the Byrdes. Ruth doesn’t meet
her fate since Omar’s hitman shoots Camila first. Instead of Mel visiting the
Byrdes, it’s Omar that greets them.
