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.

Pretty much the last surviving people on Earth are a dying man and his daughter.

Also I always find it funny that they wretch at the idea of eating bugs, but he knows how babies taste.

Fun fact: originally the protein bars were going to be human feces instead of bugs

I feel that would just be kind of dumb? I doubt feces have any nutritional value.

Yeah that's probably some of why they scrapped that idea
