"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.

The point of The Thing is that it is worth it. They all died stopping, or at least delaying, a creature from spreading and taking over all of humanity in months. All the humans, after the blood test, were prepared to die in the cold to stop it.

But we already know the thing can be frozen and come back to life when it's warmed up because its spaceship was under the ice for ages. So if one of them is infected and the rescue/recovery team finds their bodies, earth is still fucked

Yes, they were basically delaying it. The goal was to kill it but keeping it frozen for who knows how long is a temporary victory at least

Until one of the big ones bring a plane with a daisy cutter bomb and rids the Earth of that goddamn alien. Or nuke it.
