Donald Glover gives brilliant reason for Community not returning

'I just like endings. I think everything should have death clauses'

For Community fans, Donald Glover’s departure during season five was an emotional moment.

While it was quite apparent the actor was busy pursuing other projects, such as Childish Gambino, there was always the lingering question over his return - something that looks highly unlikely considering his recent comments.

Speaking to journalists at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour to promote his upcoming show Atlanta, he said: "I just like endings. I think every thing should have death clauses.”

Glover went compared the need for things to end to Presidential candidate Donald Trump,: “Thank God, one day Trump is gonna die. That is guaranteed. That is awesome.

“It’s important that things end and I'm glad things end because it forces things to progress. I get really frustrated in the world because I see a lot of things that could be better but aren’t better because things haven’t died yet.”

Of course, it's sad the show will not return but Glover's reasoning is completely true: when shows refuse to die, they often lose what made them great.

Thankfully, he didn’t rule out returning for the inevitable film. #sixseasonsandamovie.
