spoiler alert: I won't be writing fix it fics. because I don't need to ;)
More seriously this is full of spoilers from live-reacting to the movie, beware.
That opening in Japan was so cool? Like I was into it. Loved the suspicious silver bullet too, just saying...
Animal Shelter owner Scott is confirmed AND single by thirty I wrote the movie before the movie (just kidding, the fic I'm thinking of has a different premise but I'll rec it because self-promo is hot : The Cure with Sterek endgame too!). Also Scott got a buzzcut like his buddy Stiles!
"We call him the Alpha" just no, it doesn't sound as cool as you think it does, it's so corny.
I love how they re-enacted the interactions at the clinic for Scott and Allison, it's sweet. JR Bourne my love, I could feel your distress, but I have to say the bardo concept thing sounds weird (like, phonetically).
Lydia's reintroduction scene was glorious and how beautiful can this woman be??? She ages like fine wine.
Baby Hale in da place, such a fun scene! I mean what did Derek expect, keeping the Jeep at Hale Auto... Daddy Hale is a good look on him and suggesting they call Stiles... they're married, called it.
No seriously they keep mentioning Stiles and somehow don't even show flashback of him? Would love to be the tiny mouse in the copyright talk for this movie haha.
Malia and Parrish are a thing??? Where did that come from? I like that they lean into her non-commital communication styles and I did connect with their relationship (or lack thereof) immediately, especially when it becomes awkward with Scott later on (#thecure by the way).
I did suspect Chris has something to do with the release of the Nogitsune, that was badass.
Eli is such a Stiles rip off it's almost annoying, I like his back story with Derek's beta-shift more.
Allison is hot too wow, damn ladies. Melissa ROCKS obviously and Finstock still got it.
The partial memory recovery twist for Allison to turn her evil is the oldest trick in the book but I like the way they pulled it off. She's off hunting Derek and they're hopeless, some things never change.
Jackson is a delight and he's still with Ethan 15 years later, LGBTQ+ for the win. I am here for it.
Eli and Derek parallels with Sterek again, here goes the whump for Derek...
Sheriff Stilinski has the one and only braincell in this movie.
Peter is here baby, and I loved his entrance. I say: Melissa, Peter and Chris OT3.
"Go get her" no Melissa, no. Not the right line, not the right time.
I kind of feel bad for Scott's girlfriends (Kira, Malia) who came after Allison like what about his feelings for them??? I understand Allison was his first love and holds a special place in his heart but the others feel really swept under the rug.
Alpha roar check. It felt like a to do list at first but considering Eli's back story I kind of like it as a trigger for his own beta-shift.
For a moment I wondered between Kate and Harris summoning the Nogitsune but I'm kinda glad it wasn't Kate. Idk it feels more insidious with Harris.
Also I do like how the other Kitsunes are all brand new and not rip offs, it's more interesting, and I was interested in Liam for once haha, cuties the two of them.
Derek has better things to do than saving the world, he's too busy parenting... oh well, that was wistful thinking.
Finstock is so proud to say Greenberg and honestly so am I. I wish it was only Eli on the field though, Scott playing makes no sense and doesn't serve any purpose.
Did I just see Tyler Posey's ass when he scrambles up in the Nogitsune's illusion world??? I wonder if it was on purpose... also they messed up with his shirt it went from bloody to clean just to make the next blood loss more obvious...
I did like his attemps to reason with Allison and her big ass smile when he tells her he's still in love with her, but isn't it "burning the exact/same blend of wolfsbane powder into the wound to heal it" rather than just "burning it out"???
Peter going down on the ground to sniff blood that is right in front of him... you were a better werewolf than that before Peter... but banging Allison's head on the railing then Chris switching side makes up for it.
The aesthetics for the illusion in the colored rooms was GREAT and Lydia kinda broke my heart, but I'm glad we had this scene (also Jackson. you have a tail. with venom. use it???).
I will not adress Derek's untimely demise because why would he abandon his son, like Peter could have taken his place to hold the Nogitsune down? (also that twist with the werewolf bite was nice, I liked it, it made sense). plus Allison came back from the dead so he will too. In my fics. It's not a fix it it's canon compliant ;).
Why the fuck are they kissing when Derek just disappeared into thin air seriously. Poor Eli, really get someone else to take custody of you than Scott.
I feel for the Sheriff, seeing Eli like that must remind him of Stiles when they lost Claudia...
The little nudge at the end with Eichen House and there always be new teenage werewolves was so on the nose I loved it.
conclusion: I found it extremely fun, well paced with good aesthetics.
Made me want to watch the series (which I've been pushing off for fear of being disapppointed) actually.
So yeah unpopular opinion, but I had such a great time watching Teen Wolf The Movie I wish it was in theaters because it would have been great on the big screen!
