@PetSim99@kabboo16@JewBimbo@DailyNoud i said that was the ‘point of the movie’ meaning the message of the movie. the wish is allegorical.
he called the number, got no result and then resigned himself to it because he didn’t want it to end until sarah died.
he could have went to the store anytime and chose not to.
@PetSim99@kabboo16@JewBimbo@DailyNoud he learned the wish was real and chose to continue the situation with nikki, even after she dug up his dead cat and fed it to him, even after she shit on the floor, even after she cut her head open, even after she begged him to kill her to be free.
because he is a bad person.
@kabboo16@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud the point of the movie is that forcing intimacy through coercive control is destructive and suffocating.
bear was lonely with low self-esteem at best. that does not give him culpable deniability to slaughter another human's autonomy.
@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud he knew for a LONG time, and allows her to continue to slide into this awful state because he wants her to be his personal attention sleeve despite her self-harm and her even begging to be killed to end it. he knows its not real, and he doesnt care that he has destroyed her life.
@kabboo16@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud he isnt some mentally ill crippled thing, there isnt a valid reason for this, he has just objectified her and is complacent in taking over her life through coercive control. i think bear gets a perfectly adequate amount of hate for this.
@kabboo16@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud i think when she’s smashing her head with a glass bottle, begging to be killed while wish nikki is sleeping, shitting on the floor all day and digging up dead cats to worship you, you cease to be ‘just weak’ and become a complicit manipulator.
he didn’t care until sarah died.
@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud at any moment he could have went to the store and tried to sort out how to undo the wish. but chose not to because he liked her bound to him even if it was to her extreme detriment
do you reckon he was more or less terrified of her once she smashed sarah's head in with a brick
@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud the movie demonstrates several times that he knows the wish worked. he knew there was something seriously wrong with nikki and chose to ignore all signs because it benefitted him until it got his friends killed.
only then did he take action to end it by killing himself.
@PetSim99@JewBimbo@DailyNoud he KNOWINGLY enslaved and sexually abused another human being and didnt care because because hes a dork loser with no redeeming qualities.
@Tanakapan172@ryanbrideau@Alfredo7272_@540Lou the point is sean strickland could walk into the middle of the cage and suck his own penis youd still like him because he's sean strickland, not because he is an 'exciting fighter'
by metrics of people that complain about 'boring fights'
sean strickland is a very boring fighter.
