Movie would have been better if the magic wasn't real but lead the audience to think it was, until it's revealed she was legit a psycho bitch and was obsessed and stalked the guy. Also, they should have put a gunshot in right before the fade to black.
Well you make a movie where that happens and we'll let the free market decide.
>>221851266Ain't got the money
agreed, it works better as a non-horror. They never even explain why she's a psychopath either, just that she is.
Before I heard the plot, I thought it'd be about this guy set up on a blind date with a girl by his friends and all goes well at first but then the friends tell him they have no idea who she is and that some random yandere just walked into his life. Really, anything would've been better than the wishing shit.
>>221851281That’s genuinely how I thought the movie was going until she started to piss herself waiting for him to come home. The ambiguity of it works really well the first time you see the flick.
>>221851266movie distribution isn't a free market system. It's controlled by a few people and they decide if your movie can be in theaters or not.
>>221851318yeah and the whole cat thing makes no sense either because he would've disposed of the body long before.
>>221851281Nothing in this movie's worlddbuilding makes any internal sense whatsoever. Of course it was made by two losers who made Goytube video. Might as well've been a Smosh parody.>>221851299>>221851318You know what burns my ass? That they used a stupid needle drop for the final scene instead of the great eerie/tragic score after it for Nikki wailing. Would've made the tragedy palpable instead we got a meme Fallout song. Such a shitty amateurish "movie".
>>221851281>never explained why I think the “freaky Nikki” thing, plus her being estranged from her family, plus her reading that horrifying excerpt from the story she was writing, was enough to convince me that she was probably sexually abused by her father and had serious issues because of it.
>>221851320>>221851277You can literally make movie on your phone and post it to youtube.
>>221851195That would be incredibly stupid. Why else would she become randomly obsessed with him after knowing him for years yet at the single moment he breaks the stick is when she turns crazy. You'd have to change the backstory to being they just recently met, and it was love at first sight for both of them but we only get the mans perspective until the reveal in the end that she always felt the same way and that the willow did nothing.
>>221851405Literally anything else would've been better.
>>221851392Idk what you’re talking about. You mean like post credits?
>>221851394well whatever, the story would've worked better with her just being BPD obsessive in a normal way and not a murderous demon out of nowhere.
>>221851405>WhyIt sounds like you just don't have much experience with women like the rest of us. A lot of women love leading guys on just for the sake of being cruel to them.
>>221851471Eh, idk. That would’ve undermined the fact that Bear had ruined her life by forcing her to love him against her will. Which was kinda the point of the movie.
>>221851405She already has the Freaky Nikki reputation. Turns out she was obsessed with him for years, that's why she hung out with him. Laying in wait.
>>221851522As a horror movie yes those elements need to remain I guess. I'm just saying as a different genre you can change some elements and it becomes better overall. Maybe men wouldn't be interested in the movie if not for the horror, I dunno.
>>221851571I thought it was about BPD at first and was legitimately enamored with it because even when it becomes obvious that there’s more to it than that, they *still* had a ton of symbolic imagery that leans in that direction (particularly the way Nikki’s face is obscured by shadow when her identity is challenged; something that is characteristic of people with clinical BPD). God, what a great flick. Went into it expecting nothing and walked out with my mind being completely fucking blown. Last time that happened was when I saw pic related.
>>221851195There's nothing to prove the magic IS real outside of one crazy bitch acting like a crazy bitch.
>>221851871Well except for every single fucking thing that happens in the movie.
>>221851871Did you even watch the movie?
>>221851398This, you only need to change a couple of scenes. First the scene where Ian gets his wish. Make it so nothing happens. Then at the bathtub scene he does puke them out and returns to Nikki, who seems confused he didn't kill himself and shoots him too. Then packs up and leaves. Forensic later talk amongst them that she was in fact a serial killer from out of state.
>>221851281>never explainedStick to marvel bro lol that’s clearly more your speed
>>221851927>>221851949Oh you're one of those guys who doesn't understand subtext. I'm begging you: take a media literacy course.
the face the bitch makes when you tell her to block her ex boyfriend that "raped" her 3 years ago
I say this as a man, my cock is average length, my balls are gigantic and hairy, I have hairy niples and hair on my footThe issue is that many men are inexperienced at dating and it shows. This movie is so clear cut fucking how do people take bears side, dude is pathetic that’s the whole point of his character you’re not supposed to emulate him as he is a loser
>>221851982Lmao what? They go out of their way to make it abundantly clear that the magic is real at the end of the movie. The only way you wouldn’t catch this is if you literally didn’t watch it.
>>221851983Sir this isn’t an incel thread we discussing the movie take your anger elsewhere
>>221852032oops, meant for>>221852021
>>221851982>>221851982Right and the machine in The Prestige also didn't actually work.
>>221851983>stealing xitter posts for (you)shere you go
>>221852011It’s just people who haven’t seen the movie making fake “SOCIETY IS FUCKED” engagement bait. They have some vague idea of what the movie is about, spin that into a politically charged narrative that doesn’t even have to be true, and get swarms of attention for it. It is what it is. The movie is great though, that much is at least true.
>>221852011that's why the movie is so popular because it resonates with the current generation. If it was released in the 90's/2000's then people would say it's neat and move on because people had healthy dating lives back then.
>>221852069Lol yeah I remember being a teenager and blatantly stealing things I thought I could pass off as my own for attention. Was lucky to get called out on it enough times to cut that shit out, though.
>>221852097>healthy dating lives I don’t think this is true, desu. Cowardly men aren’t exactly a new phenomenon. Also what makes the movie awesome is how unabashedly twisted it is. Not to mention gradually feeling as trapped as Bear. You can’t help but wonder what the fuck you’d do if you were in his situation kek.
>>221851405Clearly you have never seen a woman change completely when she starts dating a guy. And you have the nerve to call anything stupid.
>>221852097Me again, as someone who actually dated a girl with bpd for 3 yearsI thought from the trailers that nikki was going to be the villain of the story about a toxic relationship but it was much noted nuancedFor example I caught my ex watching me sleep/taking photos of me all the time. I’d also try to sneak out of bed at 3am to go jerk off and if she was still awake (which she would pretend sometimes to see what I do) she’d fucking scream at me full volume our neighbors called the cops due the scream sometimes Lots of elements of a toxic relationship are captured in the movie, even the mental and physical decline Nikki goes through is pretty realistic, you go home and your girl is literally festering in her own shit, tell her we are going out she jumps in the shower and no one knows that was how we lived.
>>221851195Nah. Movies with magic and demons are always better than ones where everything is scientific and realistic
>>221852279Clearly you don’t own an air fryer.
>>221851982take my dick up your ass FAGGOT
>>221852418>esl wants to fuck menlmao???
>>221852418Anon! That's gay, dude.
>>221851871The occult is real and you shouldn't dabble
went in blindthought it'd be a movie about an incel guy obsessed with a girlinstead i was treated to a banal "love spell gone bonkers" horror flickfucking lol
>>221852667The girls acting was good
>>221852753This is why the movie was good
I really liked the movie, mainly because of lead actress.
>>221852604Hahahaha faggot
>>221851299I thought the movie would be about "you may think you want a girl to be obsessed with you, but it's actually a nightmare and here's why", but instead it was about a demon that shits and pisses on his floor.
>>221851195Ive been in so many toxic relationships that I wasn't sure anything had worked until the last 20 minutes when a billion dollars fell out of the skyAlso I'm not saying that Nikki was the cat but I am saying that if you gave my cat a human female body she would act exactly like this.
>>221851299I thought it was going to be something boring like that but it was some cool SCP shit instead.
>>221855855you're trans
>>221851195who is this white jezebel shedevil
>>221851195This movie is fucking retarded, and while I have no plans of seeing The Odyssey, I'm glad that movie came out, because it has dropped the number of your dogshit Obsession shill threads from like 17 active at a time to 1 or 2 max. Fuck you, brownoid, eat shit.
