it’s so interesting to me because he understood his character enough to know that he would “wimp out” and take the pills instead, but he also admitted he didn’t realize bear was technically the bad guy and i think that’s because he had so much empathy for his character

the actor has actually stated multiple times he doesn’t think bear can be called a villain— nikki’s actress and the director had to immediately correct him

everyone sees a quote on the internet and runs spreading information like crazy ☠️the actor quite literally NEVER said bear wasn’t a villain, he said that when acting he did not play bear as if he was a villain because bear didn’t even see himself as one and the movie is from his pov

I rewatched obsession with my friends and two of them had tiny panic attacks afterwards and didn’t want to drive home 😭

Michael understands Bear on such a deep level. In an interview, someone asked him that if Ian did what Bear told him to do with the One Wish Willow, would Bear learn his lesson or would he make the wish again. Michael stated that Bear would make the wish again, not learning his lesson ❤️🩹

as an actor the goal is literally to never play your character as though you are the villain because then your performance is hindered. that is what michael means when he says he empathized with him, not to mention that bear is supposed to be a complex character who is meant to make the audience question and empathize with him at different times.

I think Bear changing his mind was one of my favorite scenes from the movie. genuinely made me mad asl like his last act of free will was cowardly and selfish just like the rest of his actions. I can’t stop thinking about this movie frfr

Some people saying bear’s actor confirming bear isn’t a villain… he meant he wasn’t *playing* him like he was a villain, because that’s bear’s mindset and hes acting as bear!! He definitely still is a bad guy!!!

Bear's acting wasn't the best, but you can see the "vision" for his character of being too much of an innocent idiot, that he's a bad guy. Bear didn't know he was a villain, but every1 (including audience) besides him knows he is.

In the end, the person who technically saved Nikki was whatever demon was possessing her, not even bear himself
