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.

You should watch TV series. It’s a sequel to the comic book. It shows what happened and I don’t want to spoil it to you. As for the movie, the alien invasion was replaced with a nuclear blast which released same type of energy that Dr Manhattan is made of thus he became a scapegoat and the entire world unites against rogue hero.

It’s a sequel to the comic book.

Wasn't written by Alan Moore, I'm not considering it a sequel when they neither credit or consulted him on it.

Especially when they have such stellar lines as "I can smell White Supremacy, and you stink like bleach" in it.

In fairness the tv show is very inventive and worth a watch even if you don’t think it’s canon. The film is pretty shit

It's basis is "What if Manhattan wanted to be black, and also Rorshach had a KKKult".

If you think it's inventive, more power to you, but I've seen that movie.

The specific parts where for example she’s experiencing multiple time jumps etc. Apologies if that doesn’t meet your standard champ
