Time waits for no one

One thing about Obsession (2026) that I enjoyed was that it almost asks you to feel empathy for the entity possessing Nikki as well as the real one. Like, obviously the things she's doing are horrific and fucked up, but I think the scene where Bear is asking her to "just be Nikki!" and she eventually just desperatly screams "I can't be Nikki!" does a really good job of showcasing the entity's inner feelings. She's been created with the sole purpose of loving this guy more than anyone else but no matter how perfect it is or how much he claims to love her, its not her that he loves, its Nikki. And any time she stops pretending to be Nikki, he reacts (albeit rightfully) with disgust and horror. She can't be Nikki because Nikki would never love Bear, and so Bear will never love her.

A-Train laughing at Homelander as he die will never not get to me. Because him, truly realizing why is he even afraid in the first place, knowing who truly is at the end, it really closed Reggie's story in a satisfying way. It doesn't even help Homelander who did consider A-Train to be one of his friends and him subtly wanting his approval. So, yes, A-Train died but he came out of that as a winner. He made Homelander feel even small. Reggie also made amends to the people he wronged and did so. He truly died a hero.
