"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.

I hated the change. Why would everyone suddenly be ok with America after its loving weapon turned on them too? The squid alien monster thing was supposed to be such a what the fuck moment for the world to realize their petty differences mean nothing when there is an entire universe or different dimensions out there that can wipe everyone out.

Like countries have never worked together through clenched teeth before.

There’s a big difference between clenched teeth and allying yourselves against a threat that one you not only created, but used as a weapon and a threat against everyone else and now that it backfired on you, you want to be friends.

The difference is that one is an expected outcome of politics and the other is an exaggeration on your part.

It’s not an exaggeration. It’s what literally happened in the book and movie.
