That was completely out of character what Woody did at the end right?

For character who values loyalty and structure, and always seems like a fish out of water when outside of the house and comfort zone, abandoning his core principles at the end and embracing the chaotic uncertain just didn't seem believable.

I thought the movie was great in spite of the jarring conclusion. Duke Caboom and Combat Carl 4 life.

Well it's easy to value loyalty and structure when you have an owner like Andy. He finally had to deal with the question of "how do I help this kid when she doesn't want or need me anymore?". He finds purpose with Forky initially but realizes that it's not going to last. Then he finally see he can help toys like Gabby Gabby who never had a chance to experience something he already went through.

I mean it's just a big analogy for empty nesters. Your kid left so you can either sit on a shelf and collect dust or you can get back out into the world and do something with the rest of your life. I think they did a good enough job of selling Woody's character change.

Yeah, this

I don't think it's out of character for him at all, just because he's uncomfortable going out there and embracing the unknown doesn't mean he has no desire to. By the end of the movie he learned that it was ok for him to live life for his own sake instead of for the kid who owns him, and that's great.

It's basically Captain America's epilogue in Endgame.

Hey you'd leave your kid behind too if your ex wanted you back and she's suddenly thick as hell

Yeah I didn't mind Woody's arc in context, but it felt abrupt.
