USHIROMIYA ROSA WILL BE HUMANELY EUTHANIZED

genuinely astonished by how little reviews touch on the incestuous element of bear's relationship with not-nikki given how extremely extremely extremely prominent it is that 1) not-nikki is essentially a toddler for 90% of the movie 2) bear's relationship to her ought to be as her caretaker. like everyone cites the hanzel and gretel Jenga scene because that scene explicitly announces itself as incest miasma, but equating her relationship with bear to Sibling incest is something that only makes sense from the Real nikki's point of view: so so soooooo much, from wish-nikki citing her Dad as the reason she needs bear to keep her company, to the very Toddler tone of her earlier outbursts, to the genuine childish desperation in so many of her expressions as she fumbles for his approval, to the dude on the phone telling bear he's Responsible For Her, to the way she's so dependent on him that's she is made adjacent to a pet waiting at the door for him— soiling herself like a toddler and eating her own shit like an agitated dog— TO THE WAY BEAR ACTS LIKE HE'S PREEMPTING ACCUSATIONS OF ASSAULT????? LIKE HE'S DEFENSIVE JUST IN GENERAL FOR OBVIOUS REASONS BUT AT POINTS GE IS SPECIFICALLY WARY OF BEING ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. like sooooo much of the movie is beating you over the head with the fact that Parental incest specifically is happening to wish-nikki, bear's Literal Daughter who was born 15 seconds ago in the body of a grown woman she is nowhere near equipped to pretend to be. because she is a Child.
