This is my take on it:

The True Pacifist ending is indeed the best ending.

This is a very differentiating opinion, but I have to say this. Although it may not be the perfect, joyful, absoulutely happy ending we wanted, it's better than killing literally everybody and then erasing the timeline, or leaving the monsters to roast away in the Underground. In this ending, everyone is saved except for Flowey, which is the best ending, even if it's not perfect. And that's just it. Undertale has many things that make it very unique and awesome, but this is one of the most overlooked things. There is no perfect ending. There is no ending where everything turns out perfect and happy, the True Pacifist ending is the best we get.

And as for the "Flowey taking over the timeline" thing, that isn't true. Flowey's determination stands no match for Frisk's. Frisk (supposedly)has more determination than anything in the Undertale Universe. And in the TP ending, Frisk still exists. Everything continues, even with Frisk, just without YOU. YOUR job is done. The monsters are happy. And Frisk most likely went back and brought Flowey to the surface, anyways. So it's the mostly happy ending, where(almost) everyone is happy.

At least, that's how I see it.
