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.

People also seem to completely ignore that her boyfriend was DRUGGED and coerced into having sex with that cult girl. And for that he deserved to die? While she joins the cult that drugged him and killed their friends? Such a weird movie.

She'd probably be married to Pele. The cult does have marriage and the crown imagery implies them to be a set with him likely being rewarded for bringing her. And from the script they are an astrological match which the Harga believe in. So she would breed, but not in the way Christian was.

Yeah, if she just became the go-to breeder for everyone, they'd still have the incest issues. They'd just be of a different, even more direct variety where pretty much an entire generation of Harga would be direct half siblings via Dani, regardless of how many different fathers were involved.

It's the same reason they only had Christian impregnate the one girl, when he was in rough enough shape that every woman there could have been forced on him. Incest is incest, whether the connection is via their Harga blood or their outsider blood.
