I definitely agree on The Sopranos ending. They built White up as an anti-hero to the point where he becomes the villain, it would have been nice to frame him as an anti-hero in the end as they did throughout the show (even though a more discerning viewer could tell he's the villain).

I would have liked it if it ended with Walter walking into the sunset, disillusioned and in denial about what he's become. After the lens flare overcomes his silhouette, the camera pans down to see the weeds waving in the wind as the colour composition slowly transitions to black and white and stays on the weeds for ten minutes before the credits pop up.
I have no idea how they could make it better tbh, I'm not a screenwriter. I didn't think it was bad, I'd probably rate it a 6/10 as far as endings go, but given that a good deal of the show was more of a 9 or 10/10, it feels more like a 2/10 every time I watch it. I know that the writers can convey the concept that you mention through more interesting means.
