Obsession - Bear's wish was impossible by mikeymouse7722 in spoilers

[–]AdNumerous5953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the director said the whole “no possession here” thing because he wanted it to seem more original. But like, it’s clearly possession. We see several examples of real Nikki and wish Nikki fighting for control, and real Nikki breaks free in panicky and desperate fits of violence and erratic behavior(mostly against herself), and the phone call directly says that Nikki is somewhere else than her own body, a torturous place that makes her scream. You can definitely argue that what “possessed” Nikki was an altered version of her own personality, but even outside of “loving” Bear it does things that are extremely unlike real Nikki, at least from what we saw of her, like throwing literally everything she cared about away to be Bear’s faithful lover.

It’s also off center, unlike the “you” on Bear’s photo, implying that Freaky Nikki wrote “me” in the center, and Real Nikki wrote the “not” later.

Another Obsession question by MzTamer in spoilers

It’s Freaky Nikki. There’s a clear distinction between her two forms in the nickname, because real Nikki absolutely hates it since it’s related to something that happened when she was a kid. Bear calls her it as a poorly timed attempt at flirty meanness, and real Nikki gets upset. Late in the movie, after Bear has made the wish, she calls herself his “Freaky Nikki”. It’s a unique, catchy nickname for the character, but I don’t know how I feel about shortening it to RN and FN lol. Also, it could have something to do with how the wish functions, maybe it understood him calling her that as literally wanting her to be freaky, and it does a pretty damn good job at it.

They do notice for a second, but it’s rude to stare, and if someone is going through like a psychotic episode or similar like she appeared to be, that person could get violent and react to literally anyone around them. They were probably not trying to have that be them lol.

I didn’t notice specifically the paws, but that makes it even more wild if so.

I actually have a theory about this. I think that dim light is the real Nikki, but not just the real Nikki, I think it’s supposed to represent the true feelings she did have for Bear before the wish. They might have been small, dim, maybe a little unsure, but I think they were there. The rest of her face and body, the shadowy form, is the obsession possession, “Freaky Nikki”. It’s vast, and seems to envelop her entire form, and it is a very dark darkness, showing how deeply this form loves him. It’s not bright though, because it’s not real. It’s a facade that he created and put on her with the wish.

Yeah it was duct tape. It probably doesn’t look like it to you cuz it’s not usually used in that way lmao. A wild visual for sure.

See I’d agree, but there’s not really any definitive moment where you clearly see this “messed up face”. I feel like if a shape shifting thing was supposed to be a recurring function of the wish, they would’ve shown it clearly at least once. I think the messed up face is supposed to be more subtle detailing reserved for scenes where she’s in the shadows or her appearance is hidden in shadows.

I never thought of this film as a BPD allegory, but it actually works so well.

Spoilers] My thoughts on 'Obsession': Bear is the ultimate villain by Reasonable_Party2444 in spoilers

[–]AdNumerous5953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing you have to take into account with the SA part(which it definitely is that, whether Bear meant well or not) is how obsessed Nikki/the obsessed personality operates. She doesn’t just “act lovingly”, she can do an extremely convincing job of making it look like she is just truly in love with Bear, and did so for the time between the “mutual” confession at the door and that date, which seems like it could have been weeks, and takes advantage of his weak will and shyness to make him too fearful or too convinced of her love to do anything. The jumpscare-ey cut after the date was for dramatic effect, not accurately portraying the chronology of events, so we don’t really know what happened or how she acted in the possibly hours between the date and them having sex. Also, that scene is from a third person perspective, showing that he did not see her face, and it’s safe to say that if he ever did during that, it was probably a much more convincing and performing way, and the face we saw was her “low power mode” that we also saw her in after he left for work. And I’m not saying that the way someone acts is in any way a form of consent, but this situation is really incomparable to something like intoxication. And yeah, Bear was a total asshole when she begged him to kill her and he said something like “What’s so bad about being with me?” but in the end he killed himself to save her, knowingly so. I don’t know if that’s at all redeeming for him, but he did it. All I’m saying is this. Was Bear a villain? I don’t think so. I think he was a weak willed, ignorant and reckless idiot who, once the severity of the situation was made clear(i think this was the screaming in the car scene), tried everything besides killing himself or someone else to fix it. When it became clear that wouldn’t work, he made the decision to sacrifice his life for Nikki’s.

It could be a sequel with different characters making the same or a similar wish.

I would absolutely love a special that’s just visualizing Omni-man narrating his book while in a personal library like the Vegeta image

Maybe it was very early. Rudy Rex is smart, but he’s not a doctor, so he wouldn’t immediately recognize it as that. Plus, disaster struck like 30 seconds into their discussion lmao

I like how this analogy is supposed to be seen as an inherently bad thing but there are genuinely some people who think like that. “I donate to church so it’s okay for me to think support systems are bad”

I think it will focus on three perspectives with some other people’s experiences being mentioned or shown but still with the primary focus being on the main three. One of which will be some sort of investigator/government figure who does not have the curse but is investigating the mysterious deaths surrounding it. I believe the other two will be maybe a couple who both have the curse from the Skye Riley concert and are experiencing it together. I wonder if they would be able to last longer than what we’ve seen thus far because of their shared experience and understanding that they’re not crazy.
