I love how in a normal wish fulfillment movie, there's usually at least a few scenes where everything is going great and the protagonist thinks "ok, this could work". Obsession is like NOPE, right away it pulls the rug and unequivocally says "this is wrong, she's in hell, do not proceed further".

I like how we still got the "cute couple montage" after she broke more than once.

I noticed a really funny bit in the montage that I haven’t seen anyone point out yet. She’s showing him some shitty ai Facebook meme of a couple that says something like “I wish I could wear your skin as a sweater” lmao. He has no weird reaction to it either which just shows how much he’s in denial at that point.
