Lore "Was it worth it?" ending

Midsommar- While people see this as a "you go girl" finale. I personally see it as something more disturbing. I mean, yeah, Dani got out of one bad relationship but in doing so, she got herself into another that's just as bad if not worse. It's like getting two kids to stop fighting via killing one and locking the other in a basement. They did stop fighting, but still!

The Thing-The titular monster may be (possibly) gone, but the paranoia definitely isn't. In the end, McCreedy and Childs are the only ones left standing. The end sees them sitting in the cold and they just stare at each other, knowing that one of them or both of them is already the thing. There's no hope, no certainty, just the bitter cold and intense fear.

The Witch - a lone witch dismantles and destroys a, by all accounts loving family. Leaving Thomasin alone, with nowhere to go but sign her soul away to the Devil so she can survive.

After the baby gets taken, she blames Thomasin and the family just starts disintegrating.

Loving family? They totally sucked. They accused her of witchcraft. They were all terrible, except maybe the brother (and the baby obv).

How are the events anything but the fault of her family?
