Any specific ending you want? My guess is wandering into the forest to become the evil that lurks there but also leaves gifts sometimes.

Danny could have had such a better storyline and character. Instead we got someone phoning in the fight scenes and using valuable CGI budget.

Not really. As a designer I am influenced by so many things and what other artists do. When I'm working on a show there's always a picture or design "thing" that influences my choices. As a photographer I started out by copying what other photographers were doing to better understand the medium.
