Book imagery from the Divergent series
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Divergent series was initially meant to conclude with a final installment, Ascendant, but it never made it to the big screen, leaving out the ending of the Divergent books. The story is about Tris Prior, a 16-year-old girl in a dystopian society divided into five factions—Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Tris is divergent, which means she does not fit into a single faction.
What Happens In The Allegiant Book's Ending Tris Prior Makes the Ultimate Sacrifice for the Genetically Damaged In the final installment of Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogy, Tris' brother Caleb volunteers to reverse the Memory Serum onto the Bureau of Genetic Welfare members, effectively erasing the prejudice in their veins. However, this action would expose him to a Death Serum, ultimately taking his life.
As the Allegiant movie needed a satisfying ending despite only adapting part of the book, it makes sense it concludes in a big way. It gives Tris a moment of triumph and power, as well as a more public-facing victory than she has in the books. It also tees up the leadership role she likely would have had in the Ascendant movie, had it come to pass.
How The Movies Would Have Changed Ascendant's Ending From The Books The Fourth Movie Would Have Raised the Stakes To a Much Bigger Conflict Close In Veronica Roth's Allegiant, the final battle is between Tris and her friends and the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. However, the Allegiant film exposes the Bureau before Tris defeats them for good. The movie makes clear that dismantling the Memory Serum is a temporary fix, not a permanent one.
Most importantly, Tris Prior would have been alive, likely for the bulk of the movie. Ascendant could have given her a similar ending to the books but under different circumstances. It's possible Tris would have faced David during a fight where all of Chicago's residents worked together to take down the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. Alternatively, the movie could have tried to follow the book as much as possible by having her take Caleb's place in a different scenario.
On the other hand, David has a severe prejudice against the Genetically Damaged people. He sees himself as superior to them because of his "pure" genes. He will do anything to ensure that GPs maintain control over GDs—including murder, one of the initial reasons the American government dabbled in genetic purification.
