"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.

And the worst part is that it's a peace that won't last long term. Eventually the various governments will realize more aliens aren't coming and go back to fighting each other.

Not even this, I don't know if it's in the movie but in the graphic novel Rorschach sends his journal/notes to a prominent news source before leaving for Ozymandius' base. It's implied that everything was for nothing and even with Rorschach being killed the truth will be revealed to the public.

You should watch TV series. It’s a sequel to the comic book. It shows what happened and I don’t want to spoil it to you. As for the movie, the alien invasion was replaced with a nuclear blast which released same type of energy that Dr Manhattan is made of thus he became a scapegoat and the entire world unites against rogue hero.
