So many things died when the Island fell, I assumed every main character not explicitly shown as alive died in the crash, since the credits are basically "characters after the island" themed.
That's quite an extrapolation, I think.

I guess this is just confirmation.
No, that's just knowing about one particular case.
All of those areas shown with the characters alive also show the areas they're in completely intact. If those areas we see didn't take any damage, how are all the others that weren't shown any different? I'm not saying nobody was killed or injured at all, but I think you're speculating quite a lot to think that those are the ONLY people and places that survived. The damage clearly wasn't that catastrophic at all, so all the areas that aren't shown probably didn't suffer much more damage, if any. If those were the only people who survived, then who planted all those flowers we see in the graveyard? I'd be surprised if they grew naturally. The Mimiga village probably became re-inhabited, and a time of peace came about. And in that time of peace, I think the Mimigas, no longer under the oppression of the Doctor, planted those flowers to honor those who died during the struggle against him.
Also, for all we know, the island might have landed on water. I know it shows it behind trees, but those trees looked like they were much closer up than the island, and we didn't hear the crash until after the island visually went out of sight beneath them, so those trees could have been hiding the ocean far off behind them. The sound that plays is a bit ambiguous on whether or not it landed in water, so it's not impossible. And considering that this is an
island, it is entirely possible that the island was its own body of land out in the ocean separate from all others long ago, but then was magically levitated by a witch (Jenka maybe?) to keep something on it from harming or coming to the attention of the rest of the surface (Perhaps, Ballos' uncontrollable rage?). If the island landed on the ocean, then that could explain why the impact didn't kill everyone on it, and all the areas shown didn't suffer any damage.

I still wonder about Curly Brace, I'm assuming she died too, being knocked out in Hell and all that.
I will agree with you on that, though. If Quote leaves her to stay in Sacred Grounds B1, she probably does die.
Though it is debatable whether or not every circumstance of saving Curly from drowning causes her to go up to the Sacred grounds and get immobilized. For example, what if you save her from drowning, but don't restore her memory? Will she get out of bed soon enough then? If so, where would she go? If not, would she be safe in that crevice, or would she be more vulnerable there and get crushed? I'm not sure if her fate would be the same under those circumstances. What about if you leave her in the waterway cabin? I bet that the reason she got amnesia was not because of drowning in the Core room, but because of being fully exposed to water again for a lengthy period of time when she gets separated with Quote in the Waterway after defeating Ironhead. And I also believe this because she remembered when talking to Quote before her nap, so why would a simple rebooting wipe her memory? If she stayed in the Waterway cabin, when would she wake up? Would she wake up before too much goes on and go looking for the Colons and not bump into Quote? Or would she sleep through the whole Undead Core battle? If so, would she be safe in the Waterway cabin, and wake up and find her way out after the island is on the surface, or would she get killed there by the room collapsing or something? OR, what if you save her from drowning and restore her memory, but don't take the Iron Bond? Not a lot is different under these circumstances from when she goes up, so it probably isn't too unreasonable of a guess that she goes up to the Sacred Grounds and dies if you do everything except take the Iron Bond, but we can't know for sure.
So many different possible fates for Curly, and we can only be certain of two of them...

Thing is, Misery can fly. I doubt she'd just sit on the Island and wait for death when she could fly off the Island and stay safe.
My thoughts exactly. If all these people with little to no powers or survival skills were okay, then why wasn't a decent witch such as Misery?
MagicDoors said:
I suppose if she was knocked out from the Core fight then she wouldn't be able to do that though.
If anything, it's definitely not that.

When the Undead core gets destroyed, Misery falls unconscious in both paths, and once it fades back to the Black Space after showing Itoh and Momorin, Misery is gone. So what ever happened to her, she couldn't have been crushed by the Black Space collapsing, because she isn't there.
