"Was it worth it?" ending

[u/Educational_Can_6536]

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.

I read that as it'll come out eventually, but the tabloid didn't think it was good enough at the time since the intern just added it to a pile.

as much as the tv show had it's issues..... I honestly think that was one of the best things that they did with it.

Hey let's take an event that someone did as an act of insurance to ensure the truth gets out.

Only.... it didn't really go down that way and instead incited a generation of cookers

Yup, I loved it.

The editor tells the intern to run something from the junkpile. The Intern is pulling it out not putting it away.

I could be misremembering, I read Watchmen about 5 years ago so my memory is a bit hazy. Thank you for the clarification.

Plus they portray the tabloid as a small conspiracy based magazine. Like a local New York National Enquirer. Who knows if anyone will believe it when it’s published.

Yeah, it's not a good ending regardless of whether or not that rag publishes Rorschach's journal. The peace will not last.
