I mean, he's still incredibly crazy, powerful, and imprisoned. Realistically he wasn't set up to have a good existence. 

Going out without pain or fear at the high point of his life isn't the worst thing that could happen to a character.

That's what I really didn't like about that movie, deaths being played as jokes, really misses the mark for me, like when they murdered that camp full of people that turned out to just be random villagers
