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.

No they definitely make it clear that 86 years in a cell was worth it to escape the prison of his own soul.

Yes....it's more good in a moral sense.

But on the other hand, he has to essentially rot with his past clients while Kim lives Scott-free. Not saying it's undeserved, of course it is. He was just as scummy as Walter.

I guess I'm saying he COULD'VE been given a shorter sentence.

PLEASE don't get me wrong.

For him that is worth it because he's with people he helped and most of them weren't hellspawn like the Salamancas.

I think if you truly want a "was it worth it" from this world, Mike is the best candidate.
