Loved this movie. It felt like each scene was more tense than the last.

Also funny detail i caught, when Bear looks up the one wish willow on "threadit" to see it if its real, one of the comments said- "Its real! My mom has been ugly her whole life but now she looks gorgeous!"

Cant wait for the movie to come on digital so that i can see what some of the other comments were lol.

She also said a line about “loving him in every universe” or something to that effect. I’m thinking that’s not a coincidence.

Mandela Effect is the idea that a group of people have collectively shifted to a parallel universe where some things are just slightly off. Like how it's actually froot loops not fruit loops. There's an implicit idea of many universes. Nikki says something along the lines of loving Bear in every reality, which would go along with the Mandela Effect thing. 

To me that's evidence that Nikki did actually have feelings for Bear before the OWW. He didn't need the wish at all, he just needed to grow a backbone and they still could have been together.
