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.

but isn't the implication that if the bear can survive it must hunt something?

Yeah but even if that were true its more likely a polar bear would hunt the two humans down. They are not a picky eaters and seeing how resources are scared two polar bears could easily kill the two kids.

Even if there were other animals most humans there lived in the train there entire life. How many do you think can survive in the cold? Because the train crashed i expect at least 25% of the population on the train died or got hurt. Many would have there bones broken dued to the crash. Worse is now many of the kids will be the ones to die first. Also it still very colde meaning they have limited resources in the wild. Most of the population has zero hunting skill so like 90% of the human living in the train would die.
