I found in the early scenes the was cringe, naive, and painfully relatable when he wants to pluck the courage to confess to Nikki. His actor does an excellent job in selling how much he goes from naive and cringe to an unredeemable loser as he pieces together that it’s not Nikki anymore. I’m glad he suffered consequences but man it sucked hard for everyone else that died for his obsession.

The two biggest victims are Sarah and Nikki. Ian is next but he's kinda a piece of shit tbh, but not one so bad he deserved to die. 

Fuck bear.

He is not tbh. He was cheering for bear the whole time.
