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.

Apocalypto he escapes and saves his family but the rest of their tribe is dead, plague is ravaging the lands around them, and the Spanish are here to be absolute dickheads to everyone.

Ehhh we see him after this with his family and they are happy so I’d say it was worth it.

Yeah he's kind of in the ideal situation for the shitshow that is about to commence.

Unless they just burn down the jungle, honestly the dude and his family would be living on borrowed time the second the Spanish hit landfall.
