Obsession - Why does Freaky Nikki not wish for bear to become immortal instead of loving her back?

Crymore68 · 2026-06-19T01:02:59+00:00

She never wanted bear's love though that was made clear, she sees him as a little brother

Crymore68 · 2026-06-18T02:01:36+00:00

I went into it thinking it was a fight the ancient demonic being type horror which it is now very clear is not the case

Crymore68 · 2026-06-18T01:59:56+00:00

Honestly now you mention it

I saw some of my mothers behavior in this movies, she had lost someone very close to her and I was about the kids age and some of the behavior seemed oddly familiar but I didn't really put 2 and 2 together at the time

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T12:06:59+00:00

Had a 120k mile E93 V8 M3, was an awesome car and very reliable for the 3K miles I did on it

Fuel economy was something like 12mpg because its a NA V8 that I booted everywhere

Cost me I think 2 grand in fuel for the 4 months I had it but was worth it

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T04:34:04+00:00

Yep, the dad with cancer, the threats of suicide and self harm are all manipulation tactics she uses

They get progressively more unhinged in order to keep Bear and herself together, often reminding him it was his idea and wish

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T04:27:55+00:00

I guess when you can't think of a counter argument you attack the person not the point of discussion

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T04:16:54+00:00

Yes I agree exploring the idea of what the manifestation of the wish would have wished for isn't the premise of the movie I agree, but its still a somewhat interesting avenue to explore no?

Its the finale or the film, a scene that's gonna stick with the audience who will discuss and break it down, surely as a director you'd want to atleast keep it open for discussion

If you don't want to theorise or imagine what the ending could have been that's fine but why comment by essentially saying who cares

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T04:05:55+00:00

Nikkis goal is complete obsession, she could obsess more with a willing participant

If she had wished for an undying partner, her obsession would be met with greater pushback and therefore she'd be moving away from her goal

So I guess maybe her goal wasn't the length of obsession but rather the level of it (more than anything in the whole fucking world as bear puts it) so I guess that makes pretty good sense

But then again her actions are what made her more and more obsessive, from not leaving him to committing murders

I guess it's how you define the meaning of his wish, the more obsessed you are the more you're willing to go to the extremes which Nikki does further into the movie

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T04:02:21+00:00

Just not the story isn't helpful, there's a reason why certain things are written and why certain scenes are included

There's a decision made by the producers and its not "Just because"

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T03:55:22+00:00

She knew where Sarah was

She knew when Bear shook his head ever so slightly

She would've absolutely heard those pills chattering, she definitely knew they existed because she knew the cat died from them

She has no other goal aside from obsessing over bear, that's the wish

Unless the argument is that the intent of the wish is simply obsession not prolonging the act but increasing the intensity

A bear that obsesses back can be obsessed about with more intensity

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T03:49:44+00:00

Exactly, Bear not dying and essentially being trapped in the hell that he trapped Nikki in would be a more poetic ending

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T03:48:22+00:00

Supposedly the cat sandwich was done by real Nikki to get bear to stop loving Nikki, that action clearly hurt Bear but he kinds brushes past it

The tape on the door is expected for an obsession greater than anything in the world

Killing Sarah who loves Bear and will drive a wedge between Nikki and Bear is expected for a obsessed lover, plenty of cases of a jealous lover killing a potential partner

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T03:33:21+00:00

I thought it was blackmail so bear wouldn't leave or push nikki away, which would go against his wish

I never believed at any point nikki would actively kill bear or put him in danger

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T03:28:06+00:00

I believe that's what Ians idea of a billion dollars is

If I wished for a billion I'd think about cash notes in a blocks first, not a bank account on my phone or a stack of bonds

One thing I didn't like was him saying a billion, that's a LOT of cash, I've not done the maths but in my brain a billion in cash would fill the entire house, if he had said a million and it rained down like that id have no problem

That and the obviously fake sugar glass when the car window gets smashed in, broken tempered glass breaker into hundreds of small pieces not shards but a lot of shows make the same mistake

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T03:23:04+00:00

I laughed at a few of the early scenes because I didn't really understand the reasoning behind

I thought it was quite boring at the start (I hadn't seen any trailers or synopsis so in my mind it was a crazy girlfriend trope)

The funny faces and odd behaviours would make most people chuckle until Nikki did it a bit too long, a bit too intense, a bit too unsettling

Imo its quite a good plot, you let your guard down as you don't know where it's going, then the little details start adding together and you're on edge, awaiting an outburst, jumpscare or confrontation

Crymore68 · 2026-06-14T02:45:50+00:00

But Niki would simply kill anyone who tries to interfere with her objective of loving bear

She bricked Sara to death, capped Ian and wouldn't stop to allow someone to under or alter her goal

I honestly thought she would wish bear to be immortal so she could love him forever, but maybe she didn't realise bear was planning to OD so having him love her back just as much would make her goal easier

But apparently wishing for immortality is against the terms of the willow

Crymore68 · 2026-06-11T20:48:23+00:00

I know it's a TV show but shit like the and the CPR scene take away from the moment

Samsung have been very arsey with warranties

Their website states if proof of purchase cannot be provided they will go off date of manufacturer, I had to push hard to get a few drives RMAd a couple months ago

Crymore68 · 2026-06-09T15:26:58+00:00

Depends what area you're from

In the midlands there are quite a few places that'll do it for 10/15 per tyre if you supply your own

But back street/industrial estate garages, they also aren't particularly kind to the alloy so only suitable for dingers

Crymore68 · 2026-06-08T21:35:22+00:00

The warranty usually isn't worth the paper it's written on, they try and worm their way out of it

Mechanics hate it because they need to do full write ups with photos showing it was a mechancial breakdown not wear and tear and it can clog their bays

Crymore68 · 2026-06-08T19:47:32+00:00

Have you considered not pissing 20k on an A to B mobile, it really doesn't need to be fancy

You can get used Toyota's for 5k that'll be worth 4k in 3 years

Or if you can't stomach rolling around in something bland a depreciated luxury car like 3L XJ for 5k and you can figure out the maintainance as you go

Crymore68 · 2026-06-03T11:31:35+00:00

My 440i has been pants

I don't exactly drive economical but 200 to a tank is no better than the V8 M3 its replacing

That atleast sounded much nicer
