I Thought about this and i came to the conclusion that since all the other contries hated MR. M, that they thought (SPOILER)since he attacked america that we would try to kill him and they want him dead to cause if he can blow us up he can blow them up, plus all the trouble hes already caused them. they would use this to their advantage and join us to deafeat a mutal enemy.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
That's true, but (SPOILER)it would in no way bring a final end of the war, like Adrien wanted. At least with the alien invasion scenario, while the possibility remained that the war would eventually resurface, mankind was coming together as a whole prepare for something worse than themselves. Aliens would be a whole new ballgame, that would make each country's issues seem quite petty. The movie ends with mankind uniting to deal with what could only really be seen as a mess America made, as far as they know anyway. The hatred would re-build faster and the problem would restart within a few years, most like.

I really had no problems with them changing the ending due to time issues, as long as they got the theme of the ending right. But, with several new bits added to build to the new ending, plus the fact that the ending feels safer but not-so-well planned, I'm starting to think that Snyder knew the original ending would be pretty out there for the average viewer and just chickened out.
