    In fairness, she canonically knew Scarecrow the longest, and he gave her directions, helped her get some really yummy apples, and wisely brought a gun into the forest to protect her. Still a dick move, though.

      Nick wouldn’t have wanted to fuck her anyway. He didn’t even want to fuck his own girlfriend after his balls were replaced with tin. That’s why he started looking for a heart.

    Every time i see an image of this movie i am reminded that they used asbestos snow which resulted in the deaths of all the actors iirc

    Edit: evidently only scarecrow maybe died due to asbestos

          Sure. People aren’t neurotic in this context. This situation is what’s commonly called a “you problem”.

            No, being unwilling to tell someone “I missed you the most” for fear of hurting others’ feelings is indeed neurotic. It’s too much, unhelpful, inhibits communication and expression of perfectly healthy emotions.
