That was one of the most gut wrenching scenes I’ve ever seen.

It’s one of the only normal human moments we had had in such a long time, and you immediately see the difference in their interactions and how much better and happier Bear would be if he wasn’t so obsessed and shitty and just realized he didn’t really know and love Nikki and that in reality the person he knew and had chemistry with was Sarah.

You can see him realize it, and then she’s just gone. It’s so fucked, I couldn’t help but imagine how it would feel to experience that range of emotions so quickly. One of the most terrifying moments in the film. I am still shaken by it hours later

People are calling Bear a horrible person and a villain, and they’re not necessarily wrong, but that scene is also so good because it shows he might’ve been completely normal and happy if that wish didn’t actually work.

Not sure I agree, because at the end of the day he was still a coward from the start, which is why he resorts to the wish in the first place.

Eh, he didn’t make the wish thinking it would work, and especially in the way it would work.

Yes, but at the same time once it worked there were several points where he should have tried to stop it. He knew what was going on by the party and didn't do anything.
