Like, let's ignore Caliborn. Yeah I get it he's great, fine, I love him too, but let's ignore him and Act 6 and just look at the broad strokes for a second.
Jack as Lord English would have tied in very well in terms of the idea of only Jack being able to kill Jack, with Slick's desire to murder English, and Snowman. You could easily have said the Felt were Green Sun blessed carpacians or constructs. And wouldn't it make sense that another Jack would enslave the Black Queen?
The idea the kids both make the ultimate post-game hell boss, and also kill him at the end of his massive universal rampage, also would have tied in very neatly. It all started and ended with the kids and the trolls who got caught up in their shit.
It'd also be a simple extension of what I said before - Bec Noir leaves his game because of his power, becoming more than a game construct as he explores what he can do with it, becoming a problem for every ongoing and successful session in existence. His simple role magnified to a cosmic level.
It would have kept things incredibly contained and connected. One enemy with a ton of faces in Jack, one big loop starting and ending in the same place, a huge mistake by the kids (you could have even used future ideas and said they were part of some specialized No Future difficulty game like Caliborn's dead session), and in the end you could tie back to stuff like Karkat and Slick's relation, kids defeating a game enemy, and kept that whole cool monster theme rolling better.
