Bruh i know Bear is NOT innocent. That’s literally my point. My post was partly a response to all the people acting like he didn’t know better. Im mentioning the short intro because i think it created a sort of primacy effect on stupid ppl who still defend Bears actions

One of the most haunting things about this film is how they portrayed Bear as this innocent awkward guy who just wants to be loved by his crush, when in reality he’s actually pretty selfish. I hate that the introduction was so short because they jumped straight into the wish/ …

@ervadrx I think it’s great you managed to watch the film and still not know what you’re looking at but hey to each their own. If you needed 30 minutes to figure out their personalities then I think you might just be too slow for the movie. He wasn’t portrayed as anything like that

The most haunting scene of Obsession.

When he learns that she's SUFFERING due to the wish, and she literally asks him to KILL her to end her suffering
His response is "what's so bad about being with me?"
That should immediatly tell you how much of an asshole he is
Charles@wotancore
So he wished for a girl to like him back. Is that so bad? How was he supposed to know it was actually a magic wish bone

@LemonYego Yeah ur right and i really liked how it progressed overall. I don’t mean making him obviously evil from the start, just a few more subtle moments that would’ve added extra depth to his character. Not that his character lacked it. I just think there was room for even more of it.

@Raize_nix No ur right. Im just pissed off at the audacity of Bear. I found it funny as well i laughed in multiple scenes bc of how uncomfy or weird some things were
English
@ervadrx The movie wouldn't have worked if Bear was some extremely evil character it would have became an average horror slop, the fact the Bear was a regular dude who was insecure and made bad after bad decisions that's why the movie was good and imo it was funny too

@ervadrx I thought that was on purpose on the same way we don't see much of Nikki to represent how little Bear knew of her OG version. Bear thinks he's a victim and doesn't think twice about it so we see that.

@ervadrx Kinda clever from a storytelling perspective, but god what an absolute a-hole he is it actually made me kinda mad
English
@Raize_nix I agree. It was clear to me too. But because of the short introduction, it also left room for the “maybe he just didn’t know better” interpretation (which is also needed actually). I just think it would’ve added more depth if we saw him act like that in other settings too.

@fuqnakftweets I don’t need everything spoon fed either 😭 I just feel like a little more build up would’ve made the obsession hit harder

I just know that if Bollywood came up with the idea of Obsession they would have given it a happy ending for the incel audience where he pulls her out of the trance with the power of his true love and then the real nicky sees him sorry and repent and ends up falling for him
English
Actually the film says a lot about male ego. He wasn’t in love with nikki herself, he was in love with the idea of her. He idealised her and wanted to be the one who had her, but in reality he never truly understood her. At the end loving her was more about possessing her
raf@zoeyduatch
rewatched obsession and when bear goes to get a “sunshine in a rock” citrine necklace he concludes nikki wouldn’t like it, then he gets the one wish willow and says HE likes that better. that’s his whole thing, guessing nikki’s preferences and concluding they should match his.

sarah watched nikki stab herself in the face with a beer bottle and thought it’d be a good idea to put the moves on her boyfriend at 3am

Can we talk about how Sarah is the real tragedy of #Obsession, while everyone else is completely ignoring her? She genuinely liked Bear for who he was, way before any supernatural curses got involved. But instead of paying attention to a girl who actually valued him, Bear ignored her to chase a brainwashed fantasy of Nikki. And Sarah's reward for being a good coworker? Getting her face brutally smashed in with a brick by a possessed Nikki. Sarah was total collateral damage for Bear’s toxic entitlement. If you are more worried about Bear or Nikki than the absolute horror of what happened to Sarah, your priorities are totally backwards #Obsession #bear #sarah #nikki
