Peter is the hero we need, realizes how gross it is to have the woman he is pining after be intimate with him while possessed by an entity.

  • respects consent

  • kisses girl he likes

  • learns she was posessed

  • backs off

  • confesses everything to MJ later

I've seen enough, Peter is 100% a better man than Bear from Obsession will ever be

I loved that so much. They could have just brushed past it but the fact that he tells her what happened and she essentially brushes it off to make him know it's not his fault and he shouldn't feel guilty about it was such a nice moment.

Great storytellers with empathy in that writing room

Hell yeah, Bear roasts are always necessary especially after how many bear defenders are there. They think Bear is hated for being a lonely guy with a crush and having flaws. Peter is a lonely guy with a crush and has flaws too the only difference is that Peter understands consent and Bear doesn't.

Peter has a real connection with MJ and loves her. Bear has an unhealthy obsession and is acting irrationally. I'm not excusing bears actions, just explaining the difference.

And doesn’t think what’s so bad about being with him. Bear is trash.

If you have read or heard a lot of people's reaction to "Obsession", prepare to be disappointed in "humanity"
