@sentrapilot@Innerviewq@Gapey1999 You wanna focus on the lack of intent, but the horror comes from how quickly Bear adapted to the situation. Accidental magic gave him the opportunity, but his own entitlement is what turned it into a kidnapping.
@sentrapilot@Gapey1999 his immediate reaction wasn't panic or looking for a cure. It was selfishness. Asking "what's so bad about being with me?" proves he was validating his own desires over her stolen autonomy before he ever tried to fix it.
@sentrapilot Sarcastic or not, he kept her locked in a basement once he realized the magic worked. Intent at the start doesn't excuse kidnapping and stripping away her autonomy later. He leaned into the horror completely.
@samirajungler@TheSeriesFeed He did not refuse because he feared being a murderer. He explicitly got offended because she preferred death over being with him. He cared about his own ego, not morality. Keeping her trapped in a horrific nightmare for his own satisfaction is monstrous.
@aderayo_xo1 The glitches happen because her true consciousness is fighting the wish programming. The curse creates an artificial entity that overrides her body and hollows out her soul. The real Nikki only breaks through when her mind desperately tries to claw back control.
@samirajungler@TheSeriesFeed Not knowing at first does not excuse what he did once he found out. The moment Nikki acted unnatural he knew it worked. When she broke through the curse and explicitly begged him to end her life to free her he refused out of pure ego. That is pure intentional malice
@mjarbo He used YouTube strictly as a distribution platform because traditional indie distributors rejected Milk and Serial. He always treated it as a film school rather than a career track. Calling himself a filmmaker is just accurate to his actual goals, not elitism.
@jaradkoby@TheSeriesFeed Exactly. My boyfriend watched it with me and understood the message and didnt feel attacked in the slightest, because he's not the type of man being targeted and exposed
@samirajungler@TheSeriesFeed The wish willow is just a tool. It did not force Bear to make a malicious wish or strip Nikki of her autonomy. Blaming the magic completely erases his agency. Bear chose to weaponize a curse because his ego could not handle rejection. The villain is always the user.
@GmIsOnPt360@TheSeriesFeed Sarah was not a coward. She risked everything to warn Bear in the park and paid with her life. Equating everyday relationship drama to Bear using a supernatural curse to strip away a woman’s bodily autonomy and trigger brutal murders is a massive false equivalency.
@GmIsOnPt360@jaradkoby@TheSeriesFeed Other characters are deeply flawed, but lying about a hookup is just standard human drama. Bear literally used a supernatural wish to steal a woman's bodily autonomy, hollow out her soul, and trigger multiple murders. Equating bad relationship morals to that is wild.
@jaradkoby@TheSeriesFeed This movie really exposes these "nice guys" and they mental gymnastic their behaviors because they don't like their reflection up close on screen being criticised
