I don't see how foreshadowing improves anything. Ozy explaining his bizarre and horrible plan and then revealing it's already happened is a wonderful moment. Knowing it's going to happen before it does would ruin it.

Foreshadowing the squid is well done in the comics and does not change the reveal. You should read it if you haven’t.

I've read it many times but I'm sure I missed 90% of the meaning. Just seemed like people want it to be telegraphed when I assumed the novel ending was intentionally shocking and weird.
