She was clearly possessed by the cat spirit, whom was the being that loved him more than anyone in the world.

>>223999329
She's possessed by some kind of demon to make the wish happen, so it comes out all fucked up like Pet Sematary.
>>
>>223999524
theres no demon

>>223999534
What made the magic happen, then? Checkmate, atheist.
>>
>>223999329
More than anything, this movie is an indictment on what women consider love. There was very little monkey paw involved, women are just bat shit.
>>
>>223999329
It’s Rea Nikki. I don’t get how this escapees people when along with the cat sandwich she she put post-its on the pictures saying “not me.”

its what the woman did, to make him kill hemself because she didnt want to be with a incel. and it worked

>>223999329
I agree, this was just shock for the sake of it
>>
>>223999652
Clearly there's an entity because when Nikki breaks through at night she says not to be too loud because it's sleeping. Might as well be a demon. The cat theory is Darth Jar Jar tier btw
>>
>>223999710
so if the demon was possessing her, how could it be asleep
and the cat theory isn't completely ridicolous, since the cat dying etc feels too on the nose not to mean anything

I came back to this board to post the Patrick Stewart news and Indian simps are still spamming this latrinx lgbtq mutt?
>>
>>223999329
the more you think about it the less the horror aspects of the film make sense. The wish is basically unhinged/crazy for no reason. Theres no reason why the wish would feed bear the cat or any of the reverse bullshit etc its basically just for the film to be scary.
>>
>>224000111
See >>223999582 It was real Nikki. You guys are just retarded. Did miss the post it notes on the pictures. Or the one on the sandwich where Real Nikki is mocking Bear about wanting to be a food critic and asking how cat tasted
>>
>>223999329
The spirit of the dead cat went into Nikki's body.
Hence the weird acting and unconditional love.
>>
>>224000212
nah i dont really buy that. Its implied that nikki is stuck in some form of hell screaming. So she isnt aware of what the other nikki is getting up to. Supported by the ending where nikki wakes up and doesnt understand whats going on. So the reference to being a food critic doesnt make sense for the real nikki to make. So it wasnt her. So it was the wish that did it... for no reason other than for the film to be scary. Theres not really any logic to the way wish nikki behaves. It surely could be entirely possible for the wish to love bear and not act like a psycho.
>>
>>224000212
"I was never with you, Bear."
>>
So was this movie just affirmations for women who hate that their friendzoned orbiter had a crush on them? That is quite literally the only reason why I can see it being as popular as it is and why 90% of the discourse surrounding this movie is orchestrated by women with a parasocial relationship with Nikki
>>
she do sexy obsession face saar
>>
>>223999329
Even a yandere would simply kill the cat and stop there. It's just contrived consequences to make the wish look bad
>>
>>223999394
>Nikki's personality would have be removed entirely
then it's not Nikki loving him, wish is already violated
>this entity does not understand human emotion or logic
then it can't love
wish is double violated

That doesn’t logically follow at all lololol
Suddenly glad I never watched this dogshit
>>
>>224000466
It was her. She was fully aware of what was going on when she was talking to Bear in her sleep telling him to kill her and she was never with him. She wrote the post it notes and fed him the sandwich along with the Hansel and gretel poem to show Bear how much she despises him for what he did. We don’t really know how much she remembers when she snaps out of it
>>
>>223999394
Why would it replace her personality instead of just flooding her brain with oxytocin every time she sees him
>>
>>223999329
People are retarded and can't understand that she mimicked the cat because she thought that would make bear love her more.

yup, the writer is retarded.
the cat should would never make sense, but even without the cat shit the premise is stupid with that wording.
it would only make sense with wording like "I wish Nikki would love me more than anyone has ever loved anyone ever", otherwise loving your spouse more than anyone in the world is usual for a regular couple lol
>>
>>224002117
Real-Nikki wrote that, and it was Real-Nikki that cooked the cat because she hates what Bear has done to her. Real-Nikki regains agency sometimes. Freaky-Nikki did make him his lunch, but it was Real-Nikki that used the cat.
>>
The mechanics of the one-wish willow were left vague on purpose for maximum spookiness. Here you retards are trying to piece the logic together when there is none.

>Half asleep when she decided to make Bear a sandwich for work and Real Nikki gets her to feed him the cat while writing the snarky post it notes

>Later that same night while Wish Nikki is asleep tells Bear to kill her.
Not really that hard guys

Didn't the director say she's not possessed? He kinda contradicts himself constantly though, I think he's just retarded.

The horror is that the incel orbiter raped her.

You’re not very bright are you? You can’t force people to do shit against their will. That is why in almost every wish movie or lore love spells and shit are forbidden or always end badly.

Niki does several things in the movie against her will.

They are all borrowing from boiled rabbit scene in Fatal Attraction

>>224004020
And how did everything turn out for Bear?
>>
The movie was pretty entertaining in terms of atmosphere and performances. But yeah, the whole logic around the wish, like most movies and TV which deal with wishes, doesn't really make sense. Bear would have been fine had he just phrased his wish in a different way.
>>
>>223999329
People these days don't understand what love means. If the movie were realistic, she'd have just kept being a druggy whore fucking other dudes to drown out the noise of her feels.

Wish Nikki is not a demon. She is exactly what Bear wished for. But reality is Bear never really loved her and why she says “it’s not mutual.” He neglects Wish Nikki just like he did his cat. And why at the end Wisg Nikki wishes Bear loved him the same way.

>>224004078
You didnt say forcing people to do things against their will is bad
You said you cant
Clearly the one wish willow says you can
So why doesnt it do it right
>shit writing
>>
>>224004792
The wishing willow cannot directly interfere with a sentient being's free will. Ask for a bajillion dollarydoos? Here's a bag of cash. Wish that your neighbor would kill himself? A being has to possess the man and do the deed. The possession being has no concept of love and no real reference to go on except Bear's reactions, so it spirals out of control and everyone dies.

To be clear, I've never seen the film and never will because its slop.
>>
>>224004792
> >i wish nikku loved me
No, he wished for her to love him more than anything in the fucking world. What do think you’re going to get with that kind of wish. Extreme wish granted
>>
>>224004792
It was too literal. He said "I wish Nikki Freeman loved me more than anyone in the fucking world." My take is it made her weird/replaced her because of that and gave him something otherwordly.
>>
They just did what was entertaining. Don't think about it too much. Once Bear realized it worked, he would have returned and gotten way more far sooner
>>
>>224005039
but if it replaced her, that's not her
>>
>>224002580
the willow mechanics are fairly simple, you need to be specific with what you wish for or else you'll get what you wished for and more. there was an old episode of twilight zone that did this exact same thing, the last wish the guy makes is "i wish none of this happened" and the earth explodes.
>>

>>
>>224005097
It’s the whole free will. If you’re forcing some to do something against their will is it really them? In case of the movie it had to create a new Nicki to fulfill the he wish
>>
>>224005097
Yeah, his own wish fucks it because "anyone in the fucking world" presumably includes Nikki herself.
>>
>>223999961
Why would a cat’s spirit need to sleep dingus.
>because it’s possessing a real body
And you can still apply the same logic to a demon possession
It’s interesting at first but why would the cat feed Bear its corpse and then it gets weird knowing it went along with getting fucked by Bear. That isnt horror shocking territory it’s just weird

One Wish Willow
OWW

So Wish Nikki was a fat fuck incel trolling?

>>223999394
she's not possessed

her personality is altered so that she becomes enamored with Bear to the point of (wait for it) obsession, but it's not demonic possession so much as it's a magical form of dissociative identity disorder: the real Nikki is aware of her alternate personality and what it's doing but she can't really do much to stop it because the One Wish Willow makes her obsessive personality stronger than her real personality

the whole point of the obsessive personality is to show how what Bear wants is fucking evil because he's destroying Nikki's personality and taking away her agency to fulfill his own selfish desires

Bear is a bastard because he wants Nikki to be the co-star in his life story even though she doesn't want to be with him in that way, and he uses the One Wish Willow to make her one AGAINST HER WILL; anyone who thinks Nikki is evil is a fucking moron
>>
>>223999329
OP, I don't know if you're stupid or what, but these kinds of stories are written by hacks who just want to get a cheap reaction out of the audience, so they take a meme premise and then they cram the runtime full of shock value and gay little twists all over the place.

Have more respect for yourself and your own time and stop watching dogshit made for the low-IQ and stop polluting the board with idiocy.

Only explanation that doesnt contradict all other wishes is that Bear wanted Nikki to be this way
But Bear clearly doesnt like it so there no explanation for it

You’re just stupid like almost everyone in these comments. This is why directors and studios think audiences are dumb and everything needs to to be spoon fed.
>>
>>223999394
Best part of the film is when the Demon tells Bear you have to love me, you owe me that much for creating me. If Bear was actually a bad guy he could have turned Nikki into a sex slave which would have at least made the demon happy. The fact he couldn't decide at all between being a good guy or bad guy actually fucks everyone over the most.

honestly, I'm liking this theory more after seeing the film twice. mostly, because women irl do behave much like cats
>>
>>224000111
The reason for the cat sandwich has already been given several times ITT so I'm gonna answer this part:
>or any of the reverse bullshit
Nikki walks in reverse because there are two entities fighting for control over her body simultaneously one wants to be close to Bear and one wants to get the fuck away from him hence why she also tries running back to him in the living room after reverse walking into the kitchen afterward but stops up at the doorway. Genuinely surprised how so many people don't seem to get this stuff when we see real Nikki breaking through several times in the movie and it's unambiguously confirmed by the customer support guy and then Nikki herself that something is possessing her when she's sleeping before Bear goes to meet Sarah in her car.
>>
>>224006382
An obsessed person would get to know every little detail of your routine. Your hobbies. Likes. Dislikes your favorite color, food, and blood type then use all that knowledge to smother you with attention and affection. Doing stuff that doesn't make you happy should not be in her dictionary or programming
>>
>>224006966

I accept your concessions. House cats don't shit themselves waiting for you to come home or start killing people. If anything, the soul of a cat would make her aloof and independent. Maybe your theory would work if he had a dog. Or maybe you're just fucking retarded.

Just going to keep repeating this shit even though it’s already been explained multiple times? Jesus you are brown and dumb
>>
>>224007717
So was watching Bear like staring into a mirror for you?
>>
Within the continuity and rules of the film, couldn't Nikki have effectively broken or negated the curse by just loving Bear? If the problem is that the whole thing is non consensual, she could just consent and grow to love him. I suppose this is only impossible if the point of the film is that lust and "enthusiastic consent" are love, like what she feels for Ian, and therefore Bear is bad for trying to force that for himself, albeit unwittingly since he had no idea what he was doing when he made the wish. In this view, you could see the film as a warning against trying to hard to get a woman's affection. Idk, it's kind of a Rorschach test.
>>
>>224007827
You can’t wish for people to love you. Had Bear watched Aladdin you’d known this. Genie didn’t let Aladdin make Jazmin love him. Instead Aladdin used his wishes to impress her
>>
>>224007772
>i said irrelevant shit that didnt address a single point with anything said in the movie
Keep digging the whole queerfucker. Probably didnt even watch the filn
There were no demons
Director said it wasnt a monkeys paw
And eveyone else's wish was done in the most direct way, in a manner a reasonable person would expect with no consequences

No because i would have wished all non-whites and faggots dropped dead instantly and that wish could be reversed and no one could use a one wish willow to kill any human ever again

Wish Nikki isn’t a demon. When you wish for somone to love you more than anyone in the fucking world you are essentially wishing for that person to be someone else. And that is what Bear got. Wish Nikki. As she tells him, “this is what you wished for”
>>
>>223999329

I wonder for how many more years /tv/ is gonna seethe and shitpost about this movie? Not only is it too popular and critically acclaimed for the contrarians here but it genuinely seems to have struck a nerve for all the incels here who see so much of themselves in Bear.

>>224008413

>>
>>224006382
Bear didn't think that stick would actually work, you're being unreasonable.
>>
The director can say it's not a demon, but it has to be some force on a higher plane of existence, which can exert power on the material plane, and is powerful enough to override the will and motor function of a particular human body while the consciousness of the human remains intact. In common terms, a demon. That's the only explanation. A purely material cause does not suffice.
>>224008580
Bear is seen as a villain by many despite not knowing what exactly his wish entails. His only real faults are having a desire and being timid, but he's treated as evil for it. This speaks to the experience of many men, and it is normal for them to relate to him and the irrational hatred many viewers have for him.

Death is finite and an extreme solution you only choose if you truly see no other way out and you can't deal with the pain and suffering a second longer. She probably still held out hope that Bear would be able to fix things or that she could fully regain control of her body back and drive out whatever was inside of her eventually until she finally gave up all hope. You can keep holding out for hope but we all have our breaking point. You're genuinely just autistic if you don't already know this is human nature.
>>
>>224009213
Wow this is an incredible reach. When real Nikki does actually have full autonomy she does try to kill herself, and by the way, this is all under the presumption, she “broke free” just to write a snarky clap back food critic line and also serve him the cat. This is not what happened and is a retarded theory
>>
>>224009213
>You can keep holding out for hope but we all have our breaking point
You are talking about people in realistic situations facing realistic challenges. Imagine you lost all autonomy because of a demon/entity and meanwhile you’re being tortured by other demons. Yeah, I’d consider killing myself the first moment I could.

How is that true, when bear calls the wish number and the guy literally puts the real Nikki on the phone for him to hear. Then there's a scene where Nikki even says it's not really her in there and to please kill her.
She's possessed

> When real Nikki does actually have full autonomy she does try to kill herself,
No, she breaks the bottle and stabs herself to tell Bear and everyone she isn’t Ok! If she wanted to kill herself she’d used the broken bottle to slit her throat. It’s when Bear doesn’t give a fuck and Wish Nikki refuses to go to the hospital she gives up and tells Bear later to just kill her

its amazing that such a simple movie is such a brainlet filter. ANYONE means herself, the cat, her well being, other people. He accidentally became a literal deity to her. You dont piss, shit, harm yourself waiting for someone to come home if you have any shred of respect or love for yourself. You dont kill your friend and draw on yourself to look like her if you think your bf will like you more that way.
bear got exactly what he wished for. Every bit of lore about genies/wishes is that you cannot be vague in the slightest, misspeak, and need a team of lawyers on hand to make sure the wish goes exactly as planned or you might just fuck yourself even if the wishing macguffin isnt out to mess with you. Which we see at least twice through the movie that it isnt.

To add in a little schizo theory, i think intent and current emotion had a bit to do with it which might be why instead of just worshipping the ground he walked on, she went full fucking schizo psychopath. The guy at the store seemed like a dude weed kind of guy and probably wished while he was in a calm state. Bears friend did it sarcastically and money rained from the ceiling in a comical way.

Yep. In fact, after the diner opening, when the dead cat jump-scare happens Bear can be seen wearing jeans and sneakers (which makes sense as he's just walking in the front door). But in the very next shot, when he discovers the pill bottle on the floor, he's now wearing pajama bottoms and is barefoot. The point is, he doesn't really care about the fucking cat. I think it wasn't even "his" cat anyway, but it actually came with his nana's house. Only thing I've not gotten a good explanation for is why the pill bottle has "do not eat" on the damn bottom. WTF is that about? Oh, Wish Nikki is actually possessed by an alternate version of Bear. Trust me. Rewatch it with this knowledge, and thank me later.

That is simply not true. Anyone in the world. But anyone in the world is relative here considering her "world" is like 3 people she loves. Herself and her mom and dad. All the wish has to do is make her love Bear 0.0000001% more than she would her mom. Thats it and the wish still fulfills the anyone in the world part.
>>
>>224006382
Nah bro that's demonic possession. Nikki's personality, consciousness, and will has been completely removed from her and overwritten with a new consciousness entirely. It BARELY even has her memories, thinking her cat died when it was Bear's. I mean, it's not a demon-demon, it's a disembodied consciousness that was formed specifically to pilot Nikki's body. But it's not inaccurate to call it a demon either, because a demon is simply a malevolent supernatural spiritual entity. And while the Wish entity isn't intentionally malicious the way demons usually are, it still functions as one

No he didn’t. He said it wasn’t a demon and it wasn’t a monkey paw. You idiots point out Ian getting killed. He didn’t. get killed because he wished for a billion. He was gong to die because Wish Nikki saw him getting between her and Bear. If it was a monkey paw thing his misfortune be tied directly to winning a billion.

Curry kept telling Inde that it wasn't Demonic possession, because he didn't want her to play it like a cliched demonic possession. Sometimes to get actors to do what you want you have to lie to them. It's the same when an actor tries to play a villain as evil. You have to tell the actor that the villain isn't evil, that he is good and has very good motivations because that's how you get the right performance.

He got wish idea from the Simpsons but decided to not make it a monkey paw thing and instead created One Wish Willow. He plans on making a series where each episode is someone making a wish. Some turn out good some bad depending on what you wish for

>>224013354
Personally I think it's the wrong movie to deeply delve into the themes. It's more of a zoomer movie that has a thematic nihilism, in contrast to the milennial "everything means something" creative style.

He threw together some shit he thought was cool (and it was). It's a fun ride. But it's not a deep ocean. Some of it works well because of the ambiguity. Does Niki like him or not? Both directions are suggested.

For example he could have cut the "do you want to talk to her?" modified the text of "It's not me!" at the party and the "she's sleeping" and that would be enough to eliminate the possession angle.

But the somewhat unexplained screaming creates a mystery that you fill in with your imagination and works great stylistically.

This movie missed so many opportunities to explore different aspects of relationships. Like the way men get tired of women and fall out of love. You can see that happening with Bear but it's undercut by the fact she's a demon doing gross demon shit.

Bear should have just wished that he looked like young Dolph Lundgren and he would have gotten Nikki and all the other women as well. Nikki is like all the other women. She is a Chad chasing stacy that wants Chad to commit (he doesnt) so she spends her youth riding the carousel and then once she is forcibly ejected when her looks start to fade she can only stand there and say "where are all the good men?" She will then find a beta bux deluxe to finance her lifestyle until she decides to divorce him for a severance package.

Look, the only reason I've replied to you so far is for anyone else reading this thread who might actually take your shitposting idiocy seriously. I know you think you're being funny but you just aren't clever enough to be an entertaining troll.

For starters, you should've actually watched the movie beforehand because it's clear you didn't and you probably just read about anons talking about what Barker said in an interview about Nikki not being possessed and started parroting it without bothering to verify it for yourself like you idiots so often do. There are two scenes specifically that runs contrary to his statement, Bear calling customer support and Bear talking to sleeping Nikki. I don't know why he insists there isn't a possession of some kind but he's just flat out wrong. Maybe anons repeating that interview were leaving out some context or not quoting him verbatim, I don't know and I don't care to look it up, the movie speaks for itself and pretty plainly I might add.

The psychopathy of women, their extreme ways. Lyndsay Clancy wasn’t just one woman, she embodies evil archetypes that many, many know all too well. Obsession has been improperly interpreted as an indictment of the incel. It’s actually the story of the unbridled, all-consuming cunt archetype that’s alive and well in women across the world, especially the ones who maligned the male lead character of this film (the same way they do to men in real life).
