Huh?  Yo no comprendre, Senora.  Most fantasy is left open-ended
because none of the good guys die.  Their lives do go on.

I don't understand the statement, either. That's why I replied to it the
way I did

Now, Moorcock's fantasy is just the opposite of the first half of
your statement, and conforms to the second half, because his main
characters do struggle and he does kill them off his when their story
is finished.  Elric and his Champion Eternal, for instance.

Don't attribute that statement to me! No good arguing with me about it,
I don't agree with it
