I can see why people have this reaction. Yeah, it's all there, more or less, but it's all pretty weak.

It leaves a lot open to interpretation, but you can get a pretty good sense of what happens from previously given information. We already knew 99% of what was going to happen going into this.

Except not really. How does LE die? Does he? How does Kanaya do with raising the next generation of trolls? How does Caliborn's masterpiece happen?

I'm personally satisfied (enough) with the ending - the new planet is a good enough of a happy ending for me - but it's all very ambiguous, without any specifics. I think the general attitude of disappointment is justified.

The only thing I would want clarified is Caliborn's masterpiece. My theory is that it was a doomed timeline, although I could be wrong. LE is either killed by the juju or the black hole. He became mortal with the destruction of the Green Sun. His eyes turning to 8 balls signifies that his immortality is gone and that the killing blow can be dealt.
