@21stcenghoul the draft version of Bear is pretty drastically different lol. he’s a full-fledged creep who is sinisterly trapping Nikki versus being a cowardly loser who sort of just coasts through hoping it works out.

@delicious__mm @blahblahme75 @RealEmirHan twitter is a cesspool of idiocy. “oh so if you’re saying X then you must be Y” to literally every single statement/opinion. it’s maddening.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@lucymatthews13 also*

[Nick @niceAFC]

@lucymatthews13 I know the history, it used to be a crime. so it was committed suicide, murder, theft etc.

but you can almost say I’m in a committed relationship. it doesn’t make the relationship a crime.

@lexdiamondstory @carr_c07 @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife I think this is more eloquently put than I’ll be able to in a single twitter post so if you actually care about reading other opinions/interpretations go for it.

@VGSoupNSalad @M3diaenjoyer @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife not one part of my tweet was heated lmao you’re the one who insinuated some disgusting shit rather than talking about the film itself. you’re not on any sort of moral high ground to be acting like such a cunt.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@carr_c07 @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife “not checking in with your partner” ≠ rape, it just means he’s a shitty loser. Nikki can’t actually say anything or retract consent because clearly the demon has full control over her body and has relinquished control over her emotions (which is why the tears come through)

[Nick @niceAFC]

@carr_c07 @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife yes as it is this scene where the AUDIENCE learns that there are 2 Nikki’s. the reason Bear doesn’t isn’t because he’s a careless rapist but because the payoff needs to come later in the film.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@thetempestsys @1fenlon wishing that he never made the wish likely reverses the consequences of everything that happened after the wish.

unfortunately it’s one of those “I guess we’ll never know” situations.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife yeah he’s an absolute loser but the fact of the matter is he doesn’t realise there are 2 Nikki’s where the real one is forcibly trapped while the wish one operates her actions, while we are privy to this information.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@carr_c07 @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife not a single word in my tweet implies “rape apologist”, in fact quite the opposite but twitter’s literacy is on an exponential decline so I’m not surprised.

go fuck yourself for trivialising the worst crime a human can possibly commit.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@ignitesthestars @M3diaenjoyer @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife this I completely agree with.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@ignitesthestars @M3diaenjoyer @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife very true. I just wonder if you or I were in that situation and a wish on a presumed gimmick actually happened to come true, and we learn this over the course of months, if we would have the foresight and composure to correctly navigate our way through it. I err on the side of no

[Nick @niceAFC]

@M3diaenjoyer @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife yeah rapists can be nuanced and complex people but as far as a film protagonist goes having a morally complex rapist lead your film would be a first.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@ignitesthestars @M3diaenjoyer @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife iirc, the phone scene is before the scene he discovers there are 2 Nikki’s when the demon is asleep? this is information privy to the audience but not yet Bear (completely) and we must separate these facts if we’re going to dissect his motives and intentions.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@M3diaenjoyer @1Remix12349504 @FkMySmPnsLife I agree which makes him a completely selfish person. this is clear! but an evil person, a rapist, a possessive person who wants to trap Nikki as his own forever? not imo. he’s a desperate person who wants love and wants to keep it.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@dthrowdair @BraylenW2 he wants Nikki to love him, and to his knowledge, SHE does. when he finds out she is trapped inside, I think it’s pretty clear he’s disgusted and wants to reverse what he has done, and he becomes a hostage of the demon, as Nikki is a hostage of both.

[Nick @niceAFC]

@dthrowdair @BraylenW2 so Barker says that’s when it’s confirmed that Bear knows the wish has worked, but this is not when he realises there are 2 Nikki’s: one that is not her, a demon; and one that is HER, trapped inside. this doesn’t make it necessarily better, but it doesn’t turn him into a rapist.
