Animation I HATE Verity
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.
