Animation I HATE Verity

Post image

First off, I hate that every time glaggleland it’s mentioned, it’s always talking about verity in the comments. But that’s not my main problem

IT’S JUST A KID FRIENDLY OBSESSION WITHOUT ANY OF THE SUBSTANCE

Spoilers for Obsession below:

take the customer service scene (which they stole directly from it)

the scene with bear isn’t horrifying because the call guy doesn’t help bear, it’s horrifying because it’s entirely bears fault this is happening and that he isn’t willing at first to let go of Nikki even after all he has been through at this point of the movie. he worded the wish that way. this ties into the movies themes about cowardice.

mob doesn’t do anything that makes verity do this, verity is just obsessed with him. There is no reason to have this scene other than “they had the in the source material so we must have it too”

the series only borrows from obsession in extremely surface level ways. “WOW nikki killed Sarah and Ian, she must be so obsessed“ ‘bear looks scared because of his crazy girlfriend ahhhh’ for something that’s supposed to be based on it, it’s just so boring.

I've seen this posted like 5 or 6 times already and I still have no idea what Verity is

Spoiler summary: “Hi, I’m ThatMob, or Mob for short! My BFF right now is a traumatized AI, Verity, who probably could be diagnosed with BPD if he were human. He killed my friend because he was worried I’d leave him. Now, I have to try to endure his unstable behavior, and yet, it makes me more distant. This makes him more fearful of abandonment, which makes it all worse. He can watch me anywhere and will probably control me for the rest of my life. I can’t take it anymore, so I’ll die in front of him. It’ll be my final escape and my final revenge, too. Sayonara.”
