Didn’t rush to see it this weekend since the overall buzz wasn’t that great. I’ll watch it sometime next weekend most likely..
So why didn't the original just escape? I'm confused
Not when she was a kid (original=the human)the original had a whole ass family.

Through their sheer weirdness — their scuttling movements, their violence, their primal language, their creepy smiles, and their apparent lack of purpose beyond “killing everyone and holding hands a lot” — we come to think of the Tethered as Others early on. They are monstrous, and their physical resemblance to those above ground only establishes an uncanny valley that makes them that much creepier.
That assumption — that the Doppelgangers are different, shadow figures — helps cement the audience’s belief early on that Adelaide must have successfully escaped from the carnival maze. After all, compared to Red, she’s so fully human, so powerfully emotive, so loving and caring — right?
So the revelation that she was born in the Underground is jarring to us for multiple reasons. Not only does it make us think differently about Adelaide herself, but it forces us to reconsider our views on the rest of the Tethered. They’re clearly every bit as human as we are — capable of living fully self-actualized and happy lives above ground.
And this is where Peele’s metaphorical work really pays off. Because once we start thinking about the Underground as an allegorical space that represents dehumanized and marginalized bodies, then suddenly “we” are forced to contend with the troubling idea that perhaps the only things separating “us” from various “thems” — society’s countless marginalized communities — are chance and privilege.
I'm kind of with you. The film DIDN'T NEED AND EXPLANATION TYPE ENDING. Son see's Mom do some vile shyt. *Thinks to self...hmm my mom wouldn't do that* and you could have saved a good 10 minutes. What would have been more interesting is if the "other's" made demands or something to that effect.
But his mom would do that and did do that lol. The clone is the mother of the children lol
