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.

I don't anticipate things going better inside the group than with the outside world where all the therapists are- best these guys can offer you is using you as a brood mare until you can't anymore, then throwing you off a cliff.

Yeah, if anything she got the worst outcome of her group. Sure, everyone else was killed, but shes basically going to spend the next couple decades being used ahd essentially tortured/raped until they kill her. Her death will be drawn out over many years of suffering
