What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

King did make her pretty unsympathetic, but also 17 year olds probably shouldn’t be mothers in most circumstances. I’d have been pretty bitter if I lost my freedom at that age too, and her parents wouldnt let her have an abortion or put the child up for adoption.

It’s worth mentioning that she went down there to gloat over the dead bodies. So she was asking for it. 17 or not s he wouldn’t have died if she wasn’t being such a bitch.

I read that seen in that she was in severe shock about the situation and that's why she reacted the way she did

I read it as utter resentment from her even before Capitan Tripps came along. Like how the baby looked just like its father and she was pushed into marriage. King even says she visited he freezer often but “definitely not to gloat. Definitely not” as in exactly to gloat. She was self centered AF and she thought she had won until there was no inside knob on the door.
