I think this attitude stems from a backlash against traditional Hollywood practice in recent years. I personally prefer sad/gritty endings because for a long time I was sheltered from them because of the movies to which I was exposed by family and friends. Because everyone around me favored happy endings, that's all I saw for many years. When I saw a sad ending in a movie, it was almost a "Come to Jesus" moment for me, and I've been much more compelled to seek out sad endings. Hell, I watched Skyfall last night, and that ending was rather dark. It actually made me like a James Bond movie for the first time ever. In cases like that, sad endings actually help me remember that bad things will happen but that life can and does go on from them. It's a strange sort of empowerment for me, and because of that, I can understand why the attitude of such endings being seen as superior can develop. Yes, I know there are a lot of sad things that happen in real life, but I find that I like them in my escapism, too. Strangely enough, it helps me cope with what goes on in real life, and I'm beyond grateful for it.
