As I recall, killing an albatross was guaranteed bad luck for whoever killed it. While Campbell might not have meant it that way, I find the novella ending with an albatross getting shot to be very ominous.
Great insight to one of my favorite films! Really love the breakdown analysis between the novella, the 1951 version, and Carpenter’s & the differences between each ending. Can’t wait for LOGAN!

Interesting. I had not heard of that but I agree, it fits the tone of the ending well. Thanks for the comment, Bob!
