VISI NOOOOOOO 😭😭😭

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

@indietronicaone @CinemaBlend Also an example of this with Michael. Apparently, it was his idea to have Beat try to throw up the drugs before he gets wished. A small detail but one that just solidifies how much of a coward he is.

@Swich_22 Oi cubie. Gotta kill Chinese omelandah

@fettR6S I fully went in expecting to think it was overrated but no, just one of the best horror movies ever

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

@ScarletSpeeds16 @PattyNest Absolutely, his selfishness was already showing before he made the wish. He himself had said it was supposed to be a gift.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

I agree that he didn’t love her, but in the shop he does say that he doesn’t want to get the necklace because Nikki would think it’s stupid.

I think that was just another case of having no courage/confidence rather than him not caring about Nikki.

Of course over the course of the movie though, we see he is absolutely a very selfish person.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

Idk, it’s a bit of both for me. Like obviously he wasn’t truly, genuinely in love—otherwise he wouldn’t have wished to change the person he loved.

However, at the beginning of the movie when he’s talking to Ian and the waitress, it’s clear he has a lot of reason to care about her.

Personally, I don’t think Bear and Nikki ever would have worked, but who actually knows? I think she would’ve been open to it if he just mustered up some confidence for once in his life.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

@PattyNest @ScarletSpeeds16 Yeah ofc I think in the end none of it matters bc he’s a completely spineless passenger that could’ve prevented his friends death as well as his own at multiple points.

just a pure coward in the truest possible sense of the word.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

@PattyNest @ScarletSpeeds16 I agree with the sentiment, but the way he was talking in the car—after the music store scene—i think he was starting to see it.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

I think my favorite dynamic from this movie was them showing that Bear and Sarah had great chemistry several times—and also leaving the door open to the fact that Nikki might have been open to dating as well.

Like Bear genuinely may have had options even but he’s just such sniveling useless coward that we’ll never know.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

@MVScabardo @AugustAndrws @LauraRbnsn yeah I left the theatre thinking they did a lot narratively to leave it open. At different points in the story I was going back and forth on whether she would’ve been open to it. I guess that’s part of the whole point. Nobody will ever know if you don’t ask.

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

I think they left it open to interpretation, which was sort of confirmed by the director and Nikki’s actor.

I mean why else would she say “When I have a crush on someone, nobody can tell.”

And some of the other lines people use to say she didn’t like him I thought could easily be read both ways. When she asks him to just say if he has a crush on her, she does sound frustrated but I think her feelings were more complex than just “don’t like me please”.

Her response was the only thing you could say after that, so I don’t think it’s really worth analyzing too much.

The only thing that truly goes against this idea is Sarah saying she friendzoned him — but even according to their group, this was very offhandedly mentioned and it was implied to have happened a while back. Sarah is also visibly competitive with Nikki over Bear. Same with Ian. They are VERY unreliable narrators when it comes to Nikki in my eyes.

And even if she did say that, being in love with someone and being open to dating are very different things.

Idk, I could be biased because this is almost exactly how me and my fiance started dating.

@SinBrokee @Marques_J_Smith @YallLuvCris KAJ is obviously clear of Kobe and Magic is in the same conversations, this makes no sense

[hippo¹ @hipp0squared]

@JalapenoJordan @sponhourm people always say shit like this but when you factor in the heart and intangibles, he’s more like 22nd
