no haha it's so cool actually how they did not in fact throw her that life preserver until they made her beg for it :)
This reminds me of when I just got finished watching midsommar and turned to my friend and went "I mean- honestly, I'd join this cult" half as a joke but then after I stopped being dumb I realized that the entire point of that movie is to show you the atrocities of these people and then trick you into feeling welcomed by them. Idk maybe im making no sense but I feel like the appeal of the hive is very intentional- that, like in midsommar, the viewer is meant to be manipulated into liking them just a little bit, even when you know theyre doing bad things.
