The Ending of ‘M3GAN’ Explained
Gemma’s plan works as Violet takes to the doll quickly. M3GAN is kind, loving, wise, and empathetic, all the things Gemma isn’t. The doll becomes a de-facto parent for the poor child as she helps ease her grief in their time together. However, movie history is a testament to creepy dolls forming human bonds. Soon, the doll begins to gain sentience. To protect Violet, it starts to hurt people it judges unfit for the child. Gemma realizes the error of his ways and takes the doll back to her lab.
However, M3GAN, much smarter now, escapes and returns to the house to kill her creator. As it’s about to end her life, a horrified Cady appears. For a moment, it looks like Cady accepts M3GAN as the only presence in her life. She flips the script by shredding the doll in half with the gloves to control Bruce.
When it looks like the aunt and the niece are safe and have left their recent troubles behind, we are introduced to a still image of an Alexa-like device of Gemma’s creation emitting an evil, red light. Just when you think things are back to normal, it’s heavily implied that M3GAN is still alive and kicking. Her body died, but she seemed to have expanded her consciousness by plugging herself into the vastness of the internet. Now that her presence has another infinite platform, a more gruesome and bloodier sequel is not out of the question.
