tbh someone under the influence of a one wish willow is scary
it isnt the actual nikki thats roaming around, its the willows version of her
Many villains are victims, they are not mutually exclusive.
Watch the movie. It’s very explicit that Nikki is in no way the villain.
That being said, from letterboxd reviews, either people don’t pay attention to the dialogue, plot and themes or a lot of people were on their phones through swathes of the movie.
I think it’s pointless to even talk about this without differentiating between the real Nikki and the ‘possessed version’. One of them cooked a cat and murdered people. That is the version viewers see for the majority of the screentime.
That’s the thing. The possessed version is explicitly not Nikki. “You’ve never been with me.”
It’s like the exorcist, the one puking pea soup and screaming obscenities isn’t Linda Blair.
But both the possessed Linda Blair and the possessed Nikki could be counted as villain characters at a theme park
Pretty sure it’s her circumstances that are supposed to inspire the horror, not her personally
I think if you had the farmer from Men In Black running around it’s the same thing. Nobody is confused about Nikki being a victim, but there’s no costume to do it the other way.
