The #Obsession only works because Bear lives in the middle.
If he's purely innocent, then the wish is just bad luck and the film loses its critique.
If he's purely evil from the start, then there's no real discomfort because you never root for him and the tragedy disappears.
The film needs him to be ordinary. Someone you understand. Someone you might even defend.
The horror isn't what Bear becomes.
It's realizing he was always capable of it, and so is the guy sitting next to you in the theater.

Watching the refs continue to bail out the Spurs and ignore their dirty play…this shit is rigged. Can’t tell me it isn’t. It’s not that it isn’t entertaining, in a Harlem Globetrotters kinda way. It’s just disappointing, like when you find out WWE is scripted. Do better NBA.
Ideally life should feel like Animal Crossing. You’re hanging out. Going to the beach. Eating fresh fruit. You are a little in a hole financially but it’s fine
@BadSportsRefs@OfficialNBARefs Yeah, watch Harper flop when McCain puts his forearm up to keep him from running into him. 🤡 McCain didn’t jump back, he planted his feet and Harper shoved him down. Sloppy play by the Spurs and these cry babies are always calling for a foul. You have eyes too, use them. 🙄
Just imagine…
The Thunder are getting blown out in Game 5 of a 2-2 series, and Shai, (who in the previous series threw a vicious elbow and didn’t even get fined for it), whispers something to Dort and JWill, and they proceed to check in and throw two cheap shots on a key player in garbage time.
Now imagine Shai skipping media availability after the biggest loss of the season.
What would the discourse be?
There’s a double standard with Wemby!
Wemby whispered something to Bismack Biyombo and Mason Plumlee as they checked in during garbage time...
They both immediately picked up DIRTY fouls on Jared McCain 🤔
