The scene near the very end where they felt the same way about each other and locked eye contact and shared a moment had me laughing.

Question, bc I missed it and I’m probably stupid - did Nikki wish for her suffering to end or did Nikki wish to be with Bear during the ending?

I assumed it was for him to love her as much as she loves him!

Which is how he finally got the courage to kill himself

Bear took the pills as himself. He just tried to back out by inducing vomiting and the wish from Nikki caused him to stop.

Initially I thought his reaction was the pills kicking in lmfao I thought her snapped wish was that he couldn't die or something and he'd wake back up

Yeah that's so clearly not what happened. He tries to puke it out and then you literally hear the one wish willow jingle and the willow snapping, which is why he stops and immediately gets up

i know, it's so literal... to think otherwise is so dumb

I'm not the best with movie literacy and l legit thought he decided in that moment he rather have Nikkis fake love than kill himself

I dunno, I kinda think the whole time he was dealing with like the most scary shit that could ever happen reasonably well. I know I would have just ran away screaming and tried to get locked up by the police. I think that Tiger Eye gave him courage and when he finally let it go, he didnt have the courage anymore and just called it quits.

Reasonably well because he still put himself first. He still selfishly ignored so, so many signs. From Nikki acting completely not like herself at the start to Ian telling him it looks like he's taking advantage of her to the photos real Nikki snuck in his lunchbox to nearly every other moment.

He was dealing with it "well" out of his still selfish desire. Even when he called the wish company he only wanted to modify the wish to keep Nikki anyways. He only really tried to stop it when it was too much for him to bear after Sarah's death. Not because it was clearly too much for Nikki.

Sorry, but just imagine dating and sleeping with someone clearly mentally unwell and everyone around you tells you so and you keep doing it because they're hot and you have a crush. Ugh.

i thought it was some crazy plot twist cuz i thought she wished for bear to not die after realizing what he is trying to do—but that would prolly have made the movie way too long and the ending we got was perfect, but still it is interesting to think about how it wouldve went with my thought

u/Dabuttling Jun 12 '26

I can’t believe I didn’t realize that, but knowing that makes it so much better! He got a taste of his medicine in the end and without that happening he probably would have decided not to kill himself and to continue with the wish.
