Bait used to be believable lol. Bear is, without a single doubt in anyone with an IQ above single digits' mind, not only the villain, but he's straight up EVIL by the end of the movie
Neither Nikki nor Bear is a villain. There is no villain. It's just a sad, tragic story. And people can no longer differentiate between a flawed character and an evil person because they're incapable of processing things outside of the most black-or-white lens imaginable.
