@MercepNina@Jfcdoomblade But it’s not from word of mouth of what would otherwise be a niche small group of people who see it. Barbie Avatar and Superman are all movies people knew would be good the moment they got announced. Only people who kept up with an indie movie like Obsession knew it would be peak
@chappellsgun@ColonelCochise And Inde cited Curry as the reason the idea was ever toyed with, and in her opinion as the woman playing Nikki, yes she caught a feeling in that ride home.
@ColonelCochise The average moviegoer is a golem man you can’t expect them to take an actor or actresses performance into account. You might as well give them a written transcript of the scene because that’s all they’ll base their opinion on
@macaiyla@DiscussingFilm I just think the game is pointless. Ragnarok takes place what, 3 years after Faye died and to make this game cross over with Kratos and Atreus as they’re going through the 2018 game would kinda nuke continuity, and ultimately doesn’t move the story forward.
@EvenDroppinDime The best explanation is actually in the original script which is that the Willows were recalled in the 80s and what’s left is so scarce and they were recalled so fast nooone thinks they work, the script has the shops supply revealed to have been in the back 40 years
@EvenDroppinDime If by alternate universe theory you mean the user gets sent to a reality where there wish is already true then Barker debunked that. It would also save Bear from any accountability if he got sent to a reality where Nikki was already crazy and real Nikki would not be trapped
@ColonelCochise@Driftwould2 But it’s actually more tragic because the reciprocal normal relationship he wanted is actually what he would’ve gotten if he didn’t listen to Ian and told Nikki how he felt rather than chicken out and get pissed at himself enough to use the Willow he bought for her.
@ColonelCochise@Driftwould2 People who hate the idea Nikki liked Bear only hate it retroactively after Bear is revealed to be an awful person, and somehow that would make turning her into a love slave not as awful because she liked him before.
@DeferredFuture@Tomaswept But Bear chose to keep trying to make it work despite knowing the real Nikki was actively watching and ignoring red flags. The morally correct option is suicide and I can understand a character not choosing that first but he had other options and wasted them
@DeferredFuture@Tomaswept The problem is he never tried to fix the what until Sarah died. If we as the audience ever found out that you can’t use a wish to undo a wish abd it was always either Nikki or Bear has to die then that’s a different movie.
@stownedtrunks@CultureCrave@empiremagazine Not in the original, but sorry to burst your bubble man, it’s just the standard storyline now. That being said I don’t think we’ve had a decent version of it since Spectacular.
@_Kantrill_@CultureCrave@empiremagazine I’m actually surprised they didn’t have Flint comment on Peter’s look in No Way Home cause from his POV he thought it was Tobey and homie was rocking an all black suit again. Probably COVID shooting nonsense ruined the context of the scene
