People have been destroying the world and each other since they first existed, so everybody dying would reinforce the idea that because of the weapons and nuclear warfare and unwillingness to find peace with each other, they're all doomed. A storyline building up to trick viewers into thinking there's going to be at least a way to save SOME people, but all of the efforts are for nothing and death is inevitable. The 100 has always been dark but this would be taking it to a whole new level.

It would also be great if there was no closure before everyone died, that loose ends and problems between characters still existed. Everything just ends when everyone dies and the screen goes black. That would emphasize even further how fragile life is and how everything can just be taken away from you at a moment's notice whether or not you reconciled with friends or bid farewell to loved ones or made peace with enemies. I agree that would be different than what we normally see on TV. And I think there's a chance that the writers go full dark and just wipe out everything and everyone we've come to know and love. But I really hope that doesn't happen. I love dark stories. Stories that leave you on edge and don't give you an explanation. Crap happens, right? Get used to it. But even still, I hope, when it comes to this story that I've spent years ​invested in, not days with a book or hours with a movie, that I get some sort of pay off. When it comes to TV, I want a resolution. Even if it's not a happy resolution i.e. I think Clarke dying would be a fantastic ending. This is her story afterall, and I think her ending when the story does is really beautiful. But ​everyone dying isn't something I want to see. After all these years, I don't want leave this story hating it? I want to leave it knowing that it was time well spent and that I can watch it again in the future.
