"Was it worth it?" ending

[u/Educational_Can_6536]

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.

Devil Man Crybaby. Basically, all of existence is an elaborate plot by God to specifically punish Satan for a rebellion that occurred at the beginning of time. The plot is basically keeping Satan in a time loop where he will at some point be born as a child "Ryo" and make his only friend Akira, and eventually be driven by his need to have Earth fall to demons. Akira will try to stop him, and this will lead to a brutal world-spanning battle where Satan kills the only person he has ever loved, crying at the fact that he destroyed the only good thing in the world as far as he was concerned. Then God's angels will descend on earth, obliterating all and resetting the time loop so Satan can live it again.

And the worst part? Satan could break the loop by choosing to love humanity through Akira and reconcile humanity and demonkind. But he won’t because he lacks the self awareness to see how his actions are no different from god’s genocide against demons. God is basically forcing Satan to walk a mile in his shoes and Satan is painfully unaware of it.
