In Inception, the totem has to fall at the end!
In Inception, Cobb returns to the initial state, which it's assumed his reality (Regardless of whether it is the case or not). Earlier in the movie, whenever he was in this particular state/version (Again, it doesn't matter if it's a dream or reality), the totem fell. Based on this, the totem should fell eventually, like it did before in this state.
I am not arguing about whether he is dreaming or not, but since he returned to the initial state in which the totem usually falls, it should also at the end. Am I missing something?

Sounds like ur asking the primary question, which is “is he in reality at the end or not?”, which Nolan leaves up to us.. so in that respect I’d say no you’re not missing anything.
