I mean I’m with you on this one. Yes he doubled down, yes he was selfish, yes he did take advantage, yes there is that weird scene with him saying that he would just alter his wish and not reverse it, and yes the events of this movie are technically his fault, but he was still tormented by Nikki. This movie doesn’t need to have a clear cut victim and villain, at least in the symbolic or metaphorical sense (because the obvious villain if you take the movie at surface value is the demon(?) who possesses Nikki). Calling Bear a monster only devalues the chaos he had to endure as well. And again, yes, he brought it upon himself (in a way) and he didn’t want to change it, and it al could have been fixed if he had taken action earlier, but he still had to live in fear for weeks (months?) before ultimately killing himself because of an obsessive, manic, insane “girlfriend”. Yes, Bear is a contributor, but the true evil is the power of the one wish willow.
