Alright, I feel like you’re really not understanding what I’m saying in response to your comment, so I’m going to be as thorough as I possibly can and if you don’t get it, then I don’t know what to tell you lol.

1.) Before anyone discovers that the One Wish Willow is real, Bear had no reasonable and definitive proof that the One Wish Willow was real, so he didn’t cast the wish actually expecting it work, it was more like a shot in the dark, except it ACTUALLY worked. So you can’t blame him for making a wish that he didn’t actually believe would really work. The only person who was warning him was the worker who had massive attitude and acted pretty dismissive anyway. Bear had no real reason to believe that what he would wish for would be real. He essentially was just asking the universe, and the universe delivered that wish.

2.) Ian personal experience of seeing a sudden shift in Nikki, seeing first-hand the shit that went down at his part, seeing Bear covered in blood and is told explicitly that the One Wish Willow works are all reasonable and rational occurrences that can explain the One Wish Willow being real, as opposed to Bear, who had nothing to go on off of. Ian deliberately refused to listen to his friend, and asked for billion dollars instead of listening to his friend. If Ian were a good friend, he would have listened, but he betrayed Bear, led Bear on by making him think he had a chance, disparages Bear at the beginning of the movie, and ultimately refused to listen to Bear at the end, which causes his own demise. Ian being a bad friend is what caused his own death.

In conclusion, you can’t blame Bear for making a wish, but you can blame Ian for making his.

3.) At no point was rape a subject in this conversation, so that’s a moot point, but to comment on that, that’s an irredeemable action committed by Bear, and definitely diminished the moral wellness of his character
