When my friend told me that Annihilation was about cancer, a lot of it made sense.

The couple at the end are the cancerous replicas of the original "cells". I kind of figured this out during the video recording reveal in the 3rd act, and this was while I was on shrooms. Oh no everyone at the end of the movie has space cancer now aaah.

LOL...well done on figuring it out. I had to have someone explain it to me. 🤣

If someone says a thing is "about" something, that is meaningless nonsense except for people who think art is reducible to a 3 word cryptographic secret message.
Saying it's "about" "cancer" is like saying Terminator is about exterminator companies. Biological malignance doesn't mean it's a secret essay about cancer, otherwise The Blob and John Carpenter's The Thing and etc etc are all "about" "cancer" which is obviously false and a silly immature thoughtless way of looking at art.

I couldn't disagree more.
