Ian isn't randomly shot dead, Nikki shoots him. The money he wished for had zero to do with his death. There is zero dramatic irony. He wished for money, got money, zero negative outcome from the wish.
And Curry Barker has stated the willows are not inherently evil.
The story is based on The Simpsons version of The Monkeys Paw in which Ned Flanders uses to reverse all the bad wishes. So it isn't the paw that is evil, it's the user.
To quote my original comment again
So now the question is: why did you even suggest that I suggested the wishes were cursed? I only explored that possibility because you brought it up.
But since we're back to the "be careful what you wish for"/Monkey's Paw premise...
WHICH IS THE PROBLEM. The Simpsons/Flanders' thing was comedic effect - the actual Monkey's Paw premise... fuck I've already explained it twice. There's no twist of the greed in his wish being his undoing or anything like that, just "oh yea, and uh... the crazy girl kills him" after he follows Bear home to tell him the wish is real after it was just fucking raining money out of nowhere after making his wish. Why did it take him like an hour to realize that? Why is Sarah's body in there, and where was it in the meantime?
...anyway
So Bear is evil? No. It's the thing I said - the moral of the same story that's been woven a bajillion times going back to Socrates. Man's desires may be pure, but his intellect and will are not. Therefore godlike powers (wishes, in this case) are doomed. Nm; I just realized I'm explaining algebra to a chimp. Only took repeating myself what, 3 times? I'm improving.
Okay
