12 Monkeys had a happy ending

    Fight Club confirms this. Think about it. Brad Pitt's character in 12 Monkeys is the leader of a revolutionary cell of eco terrorists. He's referred to by one of his followers as 'a great man.' Then in Fight Club he's the leader of a revolutionary cell of anarchists and is similarly mental. Tyler Durden was real, it was the other guy who has no name that was the fiction! (He had no name, he was an alternate persona and was being imagined by Durden all along and Tyler Durden wasn't Tyler Durden's real name, his name was Jack, this is evident given that Ed Norton's character frequently refers to himself as Jack's complete lack of surprise or Jack's cold sweat).). Jack is in fact Jeffrey from 12 Monkeys but how is this so if they were both attached to different causes? Because Bruce Willis fulfilled his mission, allowing the scientists to travel back in time and stop the apocalypse nut from spreading the virus. This created an alternate timeline whereby Jeffrey was now Jack. The similarities between them in terms of their insanity, the fact that their names both start with J and the fact that they both drift towards the same occupation in addition to being referred to as great men attests to the alteration of the timeline, which thereby created a parallel tangent universe that inherited most of the characteristics of the other whilst supplanting it as the primary universe.

    ........."Hey! Don't bogart that joint man."


    You do realise that these two films have no connection except for Brad Pitt acting in both of them?

    On top of the OP's evidence, they also both had two arms and two legs!

    ...

    On a more sincere note, I do sometimes enjow this kind of speculation, but what's been offered so far is so flimsy that even Foul Ole Ron would, upon hearing it, respond with "Now hold on just a minute, I think you're making some assumptions here..."

    Uhm...

    ...
    ...what?

    Though 12 Monkeys did have a 'happy' ending, just not for Willis' character. The whole point of the airport sequence was
    that he would cause a sufficient distraction for security, allowing one of the future scientists to sneak on-board the plane & shake the infected hand of the man carrying the virus; thus allowing her to return to the future as a test-case.
