Comments

Kaptain Fernandez

I know it likely wouldn’t work with everyone’s schedule but how fun would it be to have the 4 ladies have a discussion with each other regarding the movie now that they’ve all seen it?

C. J. Ramirez

This movie was so good I watched it twice and theaters and twice when it came out to buy😭 first off the whole friend group shitty asf ian banging Nikki for 2 years on and off and giving bear false advice cause Nikki seemed interested in exploring there relationship like she seemed upset he said good friends. And Sarah being into bear.. whole thing is fucked bear started as a good guy then became worse when he ignored all the red flags. You have to watch it more than once to catch subtle hints you might miss the first watch . Idk if it’s movie of the year it’s top movie of the last 6 years lol

John Fellios

Two reactions on Obsession this week Reel Rejects. Aren’t you being a little obsessed? (I haven’t seen it yet but I’m looking forward to eventually watching it)

Jay Rushton

Jay Rushton

Ana Karen

TJ

Gonna be the REACTION of the CENTURY! EPIC!

Supreme

you're reactions kind of confused me just a little hahahaha, you guys do know Bear is the villain right?? Nikki didn't ask for any of that 😭 other than that great reactions omg, never laughed so hard !

Tundé Sho (Reel Cargo)

i think there are no villains. in a way they are both victims. hes actually a good dude that didnt expect the throw away wish to be real. its how he deals with it considering he loves her thats the conflict. infact if he was more brave he would have told her the truth because she showed signs of liking him too.. it took a while but he realizes that he doesnt want fake love. he wanted to cancle the wish. hee was also not brave enough to end his life. the true victim tho is nikki. she asked for none of this. there is no full 100% villain.

JP

I know right lol. The entire time they're just siding with Bear and saying he needs to get rid of Nikki like what lol.

Ana Karen

Awe it was kinda cute how Roxy was missing Tara & Tara was missing Roxy purging her that Tara said Roxy would’ve purged me by now

Rachel

LMAO I'm LOSING IT. I knew this reaction was going to be good. Thank you for sharing. Let's get a third reaction ;)

Riley Petersen

Bear clearly becomes the villain once he understands that the wish is real and he doesn’t do anything to try to cancel his wish. But a lot of people act like Bear was a toxic incel from the beginning, which just isn’t true because those girls wouldn’t have even been friends with him. And no one talks about the fact that Bear hasn’t really grown up and is in a very sad and lonely situation when the movie starts. He’s only had one crush his entire adult life, which is being screwed over by his best friend, and it’s really the only place in his life where he can find comfort. He mentions moving to California in high school, but the only family mentioned is his grandma who died recently enough that Nikki hadn’t been to his house yet. And then his cat dies. When Bear makes the wish it’s a kid who just can’t catch a break and wants the one glimmer of light in his life to be a constant. He’s not wishing for her he’s wishing for love, which ties back to their conversation in the car “it’s not a romance, it’s a love story”. Bear doesn’t care about the romantic or “material” aspect of the relationship, he just wanted to feel loved.

I said this in another reaction to this movie but: I dont know how anyone can feel bad for bear. Dude was told multiple times that Nikki isn't her but he still tried every chance he could to keep the 'Nikki' that was obsessed with him. Sure, he didnt know that was what was gonna happen when he used the one wish willow, but it gets to a point where he knew what he was doing is wrong but still tries to keep the obsessed nikki. The one wish willow was basically an allegory for a date r*pe drug because actual nikki couldn't say no to him. It doesnt matter whether nikki ever liked bear. The wish took away nikki's ability to choose anything besides him. Like would yall be okay if the wish happened and nikki was still normal acting? Even with the knowledge that nikki's soul is trapped and the one wish willow replaced her? If the nikki that replaced her wasn't a monster and still loved bear, it's okay? this reaction felt very victim blamey or maybe a bit too distracted by the horror of the wish version of nikki. Especially in the discussion when paige goes 'we all know someone who dated a girl like this,' like nikki was just a controlling girlfriend and bear was a victim. Bear goes 'what's so bad about being with me?' and Tara says 'it's not you buddy, it's her,' that took me out of it man. but then she says after 'willow freaking nikki is the only one you've been with buddy,' so she kinda gets it but is still sympathetic to the villain because he is being antagonized by a monster of his own creation. Again, he has real nikki trapped the whole movie WITH NO INTENTION OF SAVING HER because he'd rather have the fake nikki who is willing to date/have sex with him. He objectified her in like the worst way possible. This reaction and the discussion afterward kinda made me sad not gonna lie lol

A. Saffari

yeah especially with how differently they reacted to the movie, it would be interesting to view a discussion

Johnny Berrellez

He is most certainly not the victim. He never actually wanted to cancel the wish, when he calls the line he specifically asks to “alter” the wish rather than cancel. He only asks to cancel once they tell him that he can’t alter it. This is after the phone guy told him “just cause you chose this for her doesn’t mean it’s not real” which is an absolutely insane thing to say considering that the real Nikki doesn’t like him and is being forced to have sex with him. She was literally begging Bear to kill her rather than stay with him. Like did we watch the same movie?

Mateo

girlies being on bear’s side and not blaming him the entire run of the movie was very hard to watch

JC

Ok this was ultimately a tough watch. The way they kept saying Bear should kill Nikki made me think they weren't really getting that Bear is the villain. And it didn't feel like they were fully grasping that Bear has been SAing her the entire time. Idk this was rough

JC

He didn't want to cancel the wish though, he wanted to alter it. He still didn't care that he was fully taking away her autonomy, he just wanted her to be less weird and scary. Calling Bear a victim is wild stuff

JC

I couldn't stick around for the discussion after watching them react, I knew it was just going to upset me, but that is a truly nuts comment from Paige. It really felt like they weren't engaging with how deeply messed up this was and was just seeing it as "scary girl is terrorizing this nice boy" and it's really sad to see that coming from two women

Faith

No, he was given an opportunity to cancel the wish and said he just wanted to change it. Bear is a POS.

mya

No he didn't want to cancel it, he wanted to alter it. he only chose cancel when it was the only choice left and even down to Nikki hurting herself he said "Whats so bad about being with me" The Director and actor for Bear have confirmed he is the villain, not because of the wish but from the minute Ian calls him in the restaurant he knows that Nikki is not the real Nikki and literally confirms "it doesn't matter to him" before SAing her.

chaos_witch

I don’t wanna disregard your take on it, but the narrative itself portrays Bear as the clear antagonist (villain). If he’s a victim of anything, it’s his spinelessness

M@xR3acts

I don't think Tara understands how the idea of snapping a twig and making a wish sounds ridiculous which is why Ian was like "whatever dude I wish for a billion dollars". Do you know how mental that sounds? Btw, unicorns and Batman are real, dude!
