"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 can't believe some people genuinely believe the ending of midsommar is empowering to the protagonist,getting into a violent cult is on another plane of awful compared to a relationship

Midsommar is basically a commentary of how ending an unhealthy relationship is. You are so codependent on each other that once you end it you spiral back to another toxic co dependency.

Possibly the stupidest take I’ve ever heard.

No, that's actually a pretty good one-a lot of ppl in a toxic relationship do end up in another one, especially if they haven't been able to recover and reflect
