Perhaps Gatsby's death was for the best. For the reasons of: Daisy would not have left Tom for Gatsby, Tom knows his bootlegging secret, and if it wasn't for Wilson, someone else would have punished him for Myrtle's death. Also, Nick, his only real friend, is on the verge of leaving.
Nick cut ties with Jordan (called it) an the only thing holding him in West Egg was his concern for Gatsby. As far as I'm concerned, he's outta there.
It's funny how Nick again mentions his disapproval of Gatsby when it is so clear throughout the book that he cares for and admires him. He will be devastated by the news of his friend's death. As will Daisy.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking forward to Leo being killed off in the movie (but hey, nothing new--it is just me or does he die in every movie he's in?) but in my opinion, it's gonna save Gatsby a lot of hurt and in essence, put him out of his misery.
