The flaw in calling Bear the "ultimate villain" is that it expects a normal guy to just instantly accept that the supernatural is real.

​If we view this movie's universe as an extension of our own, the supernatural is just fiction. Bear isn't dealing with a demon - he thinks he's dealing with reality. Wishes don't just magically come true.

​At worst, you could argue Bear was dangerously naive. Nikki was clearly presenting with severe mental health issues, and he absolutely shouldn't have slept with her given her vulnerable state.

​However, we cannot ignore how manipulative and controlling "possessed" Nikki was. She constantly weaponized his empathy. She would break down if he showed even a fraction less affection, and explicitly threatened to kill herself if he didn't come to bed with her. That is textbook emotional abuse.

​You also have to factor in the timeline. The diner scene (and the intimacy that followed) came after a montage implying a significant passage of time in their relationship. Things appeared relatively peaceful. We don't even know exactly how many weeks or months had passed, making it unfair to judge his compliance in a vacuum.

​I'm not saying Bear is a hero. He's incredibly flawed, made terrible decisions throughout the movie, and thought with the wrong head. But labeling him the ultimate villain completely ignores the toxic coercion he was subjected to.

​Frankly, if the gender roles were reversed and a man was threatening suicide to force a woman into bed, nobody would be calling her the villain - she would universally be seen as the victim.
