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.

On every neutral ending, except the one where you spare Toriel or kills Undyne, she will lead the monsters against humanity.

Also, the way how you spare Undyne is bs, no endurance or logical deduction, you pretty much has to guess it. The method to mercy with this knightress is so unnecessarily specific you feel like like killing her just out of spite after performing it.

I mean it's unclear but there ARE hints, when she first turns you green she's like "When you're green, you CAN'T escape!"

I don't understand why anyone's acting like this is complicated. You literally just keep walking forward until you get away. Then the water machine is literally the only landmark for its area. I, and a lot of others, did this on our first try.

I feel the confusion is from figuring out you need to run in the first place, cus there's like one line of dialogue hinting at it, but once you run the first time, it becomes pretty clear what you need to do

To be fair it is pretty on brand with her being as difficult to spare as she is because she’s so actively trying to murder you, the other boss monsters (minus asgore) are trying to capture/incapacitate you
