Yes, a lot of people can see all that shit and think “YAS QUEEN! YOU GO GIRL! LET THAT JERK DEEP FRY WHILE HE’S STILL ALIVE!”
I, for one, did not enjoy the ending. I thought it would have been more realistic that she have chosen the Hargan to be stuffed into the bear suit instead of the boyfriend. At least it was a better watch than Hereditary, which was just plain stupid through and through.
I do think it's a good ending, at least if you look at it from a perspective of "cautionary tale of how this vulnerable woman became corrupted by a terrifyingly dangerous cult." Just not a happy one.
