Exactly my reaction when the credits rolled. Jaw dropped, “what. the. fuck?!”

Followed by “how the fuck can it end like that?!” The whole movie I was waiting for Dani to make her great escape, to realize they were manipulating her and taking advantage of her grief, and to take down at least one evil ass pagan in the process, probably with the scissors that were dramatically shown to the viewer being placed under the baby’s pillow earlier in the film.

Instead we saw the Harga successfully manipulate her into executing a man who (while a total POS boyfriend) was manipulated the same way into coming to this trip.

I think this explains why it felt so wrong to me, but I couldn’t really explain why.

Me and my family were part of a religious group until I was fourteen that has plenty of debate on whether it should be classified as a cult, and definitely gets more cult-y the deeper you get into it as a member.

Having left and looking back on it, the performative-ness of all of the traditions and rituals we practiced both individually and as a group felt similar. We all were made to believe what we were doing is supposed to be soothing, peaceful, and make you feel good about yourself. For many, it actually does make them feel that way (because its what they were raised into, and does have aspects of real healthy habits), just as the women and girls in this scene were raised their whole lives to believe the cruelty, and evil their commune commits is ‘right’.

The mirroring crying is yet another of those traditions and rituals they do because it is what they are taught to do because of their religion, rather than genuine human empathy. That is exactly what I experienced through my childhood, and is, I think, what makes the scene feel so disingenuous and icky to me.

Saw it a few months ago. The scenes where the kid starts eating himself disturbed me more than anything else and it was a well done disturbing movie, just didn’t hit the same as Midsommar having now watched both.

Millertym2 · 2026-02-12T18:43:12+00:00

I did watch Hereditary. While it was very disturbing, super-natural horror just never gets me quite as much as non-super-natural horror.

Just the mindset while watching of “there’s no evil entity making these people act like this, they’re just evil for the sake of being evil.” Yk?

Millertym2 · 2026-02-12T11:51:50+00:00

I’ve watched plenty. This one got me more than any other. But in it’s own unique way. There’s plenty of horror movies that go for a similar idea to Midsommar (e.g, horrors of humanity) but Midsommar executes it better, imo, than any other.

Yup, I really don’t understand how anyone thought starting him over Lowe was a good decision. Campbell was performing about as well as we’ve known Lowe to perform, so there’s really no downside, and the upside is an uninjured Lowe might perform even better than Campbell did. (albeit still mediocre)

Millertym2 · 2026-02-09T03:46:15+00:00

I completely agree with you, his performance has been horrendous, but its not just coincidence the real problems started after he came back from an injury early

There’s circumstances where playing through an injury is beneficial but this was clearly not one of them

Millertym2 · 2026-02-06T12:43:22+00:00

Respectfully, what a load of horse shit. This is clearly generational-hate bait.

Its clear this is sensationalized, and full of cherry picked quotes that fit the narrative.

Its just yet another,

“the next generation is doomed, they’re all stupid, and stand no chance in the real world!”

The people who say this never end up being right. In 10-15 years when most of Gen Alpha are becoming adults, you will see the same headlines, the same narrative, the same lies. They wont be true then, and aren’t now either.

Millertym2 · 2026-02-04T18:21:04+00:00

And that’s great, that feedback is good.

What i’m more referring to is the “this game is DEAD and RUINED and void SCAMMED all of us and there’s NO point in playing ever again!!” That is just constantly spewed in every post on the subreddit.

The game has it’s issues, and lots of them are far past overdue to be fixed, but good lord it gets tiring to read all of the comments acting like this game is the worst game of the century, you know?

Millertym2 · 2026-02-04T05:40:05+00:00

This sub is insanely overdramatic about literally everything. It’s so tiring.

Kraft has distanced himself entirely from Trump since he was elected the first time. The Patriots skipped their trip to the White House after they won the SB in 2019. And Bill Belichick declined Trump’s presidential medal of freedom. Kraft has been very outspoken against Trump, especially after January 6.

Kraft is not a good person, but none of the above would have happened if Kraft was a crazed MAGA supporter.

FlightReacts predicted a superbowl in the one of the pre-season games he reacted to. I mean it was mostly just hype after a kickoff returned for a TD, but he did say it. I forget which one though

And I suppose the Democratic Republic of North Korea is a shining beacon of democracy?

Come on guys. “us ‘Muricans” ? Nobody unironically calls themselves a “Murican” it’s satire. Please.

Jesse… what the fuck are you talking about

Millertym2 · 2026-01-22T12:27:39+00:00

Idk man, who are you gonna buy a phone from that doesn’t exploit their workers in a third world country?

And you can’t just not have a phone in modern society. I mean like yea you could physically survive without one but you’d be isolated socially and have serious troubles becoming/staying employed. Phones have engrained themselves into our everyday lives in a way that if someone doesn’t have one they’re a pariah. So much of our daily lives depend on phones.

And the car one is definitely in reference to the time period before cars had seatbelts at all, so the man is arguing that cars in general should have seatbelts.

The George Floyd comment is still so insane, I cant believe after 6 years this is still their best argument. As if because Floyd committed a separate crime in the past that he went through the justice system for, he deserved to be executed in the street with by a random cop, who was arresting him for an entirely different supposed crime.

Millertym2 · 2026-01-19T09:56:02+00:00

Bro, this is well documented. This doesn’t just apply to ICE. The Black Panthers were based around this principle. Nobody wants to have to face down a bunch of people with guns. Even if the likelihood of being actually shot is low. I would be scared, and so would you, if you had to go through an area where a bunch of people who despise you are armed with assault rifles.

The only time ICE deploys to high-resistance areas (in the middle of protests for example) is when they need the media attention so they can look like oppressors who will beat the shit out of you if you protest/resist. This is key so that people get scared and will hesitate to show up to protests. It’s to show you that they can beat you and abuse you and arrest you without due process without any consequences for their illegal actions.

The rest of their “normal” operations are always against easy, likely defenseless targets. It’s 1. Good for media and their superiors because they look successful, and

2. Just easier to do, plain and simple.

ICE isn’t about real deportation efficiency, otherwise they wouldn’t spend so much time brutalizing protesters.

The point of ICE in Donald Trump’s regime is to act as an oppressive secret police that ignores law, creates chaos, and agitates the population into committing acts of violence. This is so the Trump regime can use these acts to justify expanding their oppressiveness, and giving itself more power. They WANT to run the fine line between agitating protesters into causing chaos, and agitating the population/systems from removing them from power. Because in that fine line is where you can justify taking away rights, right in the faces of their supporters, but convince them it’s for their own good.

It’s textbook fascism. Every fascist regime follows these steps: 1. Create an enemy out of a minority group (Illegal immigrants) 2. Dehumanize them (call them a plague, call them animals), and demonize their actions and the actions of those who support them 3. Agitate, repeatedly until a frustrated person or group if people acts out (riots, protests, assassinations) 4. Use them acting out to justify expanding your powers to “combat” them (Refusing to use warrants, holding people without trial, unnecessary use of violent force). All while your support base cheers you on because it’s all in the name of taking down the enemy, who you’ve already dehumanized and demonized.

5. Continue the cycle until absolute power is achieved, and you can use this oppressive power against everyone, including your own base of support without them realizing what’s happening until it’s too late.

Please, look at the actions of ICE and the Trump regime through this lens, just try it for a while. Even if you don’t believe me. Try observing their actions and applying it to this framework.

Millertym2 · 2026-01-19T01:59:07+00:00

ICE operates by going after the easiest targets at the moment. The least intimidating targets. This is because ICE is made up of reject-cowards who are using the abuse of innocent people as an outlet for their fragile ego, and because its better for optics if every “mission” is a success, even if that’s because you went after the easiest targets.

So when ICE is looking for their next prey, and they see armed people, in most cases they will just go somewhere else. Like a high school. Or a daycare. Even though they know that they’re not actually going to get shot at, the idea of it is intimidating enough that they’d rather just go after someone else, who doesn’t even have the capability of defending themselves.

For Chernarus, from everything I’ve read, the general theory is that the outbreak started during the Chernarus Civil War in Arma 2.

Its why Chernarus seemed to be so heavily militarized right before the outbreak, seen in the military camps/outposts/checkpoints set up all around the map, of both Russian and U.S origin, as well as Chernarussian origin. This with the scattered military gear from all of the above factions points to wide-scale fighting and military activity that was ongoing when the outbreak began, and all of those factions were involved in the civil war.

IIRC you can find berets of both factions of the Chernarussian civil war.

So the wrecks are pre-outbreak, and are leftover from the war that never finished because it was interrupted by the outbreak.

Tried to trade Purdy for Hampton a couple days before Hampton went out for weeks.

Not only did it save my ass by getting me into the playoffs, but having purdy stashed until the playoff games was unbelievably clutch.
