I'VE ALWAYS BEEN THE AAALPHAAAAAA!!!!
Lol
Beat me to it
Fuckin Peter. Not gonna lie though, that man does it for me with his V-neck tees and his quips. He can get it
He's always on, that Peter
I think what you mean is “I’VE ALWAYSBEENTHEAFAFAFA!”
I truly CANNOT believe you talked for one and a half hours without even once mentioning Coach Finnstock, the absolute best supporting character this show has
his interractions with styles are always hilarious hahahaha
the bigger they are......the bigger they are!
STILINSKI SHUT IT THIS. IS. A. BUS. STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS !!!!!!!!!!
He has the best hero moment and one liner in the show in season 4 “we have a no bullying policy” tasers dude
"BILINSKI!"
my favourite (unintentional) running gag of season 1 is derek appearing in random places and just standing there
Never fails to make me laugh!
Bro it’s so funny
it made me laugh so hard
I've heard another youtuber describe Derek by saying he loiters as a hobby, and my oh my if that ain't exactly it
No but seriously the first scene he's in cracks me up every time. Literally the first shot he's in he just literally🧍🏻♂️
"I'm a thousand years old, you can't kill me"
I haven't even watched this show and goddamn, that's a fantastic and intimidating villain line, specially with how Dylan delivers it. This villain-horror arc alone damn near makes me want to watch the show
It's EXCELLENT.
I had to rewatch a couple of episodes because it was confusing, but that's exactly what Jeff wanted.
The Nogitsune will always be this show's Darth Vader:
The most cunning, the most powerful, and the most dangerous villain.
I stopped watching after that season , because nothing could top it! It was amazing
ITS WORTH IT. Trust me season 3 is a masterpiece
I know, right? Where can I watch just season three? That line delivery gave me chills.
@@Blueeyesthewarrior Honestly, the whole show is kinda worth it for Stiles tbh. Even when season's aren't great, Dylan O'Brien is consistently a highlight. All the actors are great in my opinion but he was definitely the fan favourite standout and all his lines are the best. Plus s1&2 are the same length as the entirety of season 3 so it's fairly easy to breeze through
The "Divine move? Divine move?" Scene given by dylan is by far my favourite in the whole tv show because unlike other villains he doesn't show frustration when hes about to be defeated. Hes not sad or coming to terms with it or scheming a way to win. No. He's just offended. He's incredibly offended that a bunch of 16yo brats actually think they can defeat him. I love that
It's one of the few times (maybe the ONLY time) the Nogitsune shows another emotion besides smugness.
He's genuinely insulted that he, a thousand-year-old force of chaos and pain, is gonna be defeated by high schoolers.
Another application of Dylan's skill.
Dylan’s acting is incredible that part always gives me chills and not to mention the “YOU CAN’T KILL ME!”
I absolutely loved the Nogitsune, I know it’s a lot of people’s favourite season and villain, but Dylan was so amazing in that role and shows his acting range
Can we all agree that the best thing the show did was avoid love triangles. Even when Issacc dates Allison, Scott and Issacc just have a quick scene about it in a jokey way and don't let it come between their friendship.
Thank God
That's called ✨ maturity ✨
It's also pretty mature when Scott and stiles make up. It's not done in a way that one side of the argument is forgotten and they just gloss over it without really sorting it out. They didn't just let them move on or get over it but it was tense between them for a while and they actually talked about it. They actually cared properly about thier relationship. I like that and I noticed that.
Amen to that!
@@KateJn One thing Teen Wolf executes nigh-flawlessly is the depictions of relationships, whether said relationships are good (Noah and Stiles) or ill (Kate and Derek).
Stiles isn't automatically in the wrong because Scott is the protagonist; Scott isn't wrong because he genuinely believed Stiles crossed a line.
Both were victims of Theo's subterfuge;
And once they realized that, it's not brushed under the rug.
It had an impact on their relationship.
the part that always kills me is scott's "my mom does all the grocery shopping" when jackson asks him where he gets his juice. i laugh every time
English isn’t my first language I still don’t get that line. Can u explain
@@zxnn8543 juice is slang for steroids so jackson is asking where scott got the steroids that made him good at lacrosse, of course since scott got good by becoming a werewolf and not by abusing steroids he jokingly says that his mom does the grocery shopping, acting as if he thinks that jackson is asking about actual jucie and not steroids
@@anonymouslyanonymous1781 I thought he meant juice as in.. yeah. Thank u for the explanation
@@zxnn8543 umm... yeah that's definitely one way to interpret it
anyway your welcome english isn't my first language either so i get it
@@anonymouslyanonymous1781 I don't even think he was joking, Scott seems genuinely confused in that scene which makes it so much better to me
To me, what makes Teen Wolf feel different from other teen dramas is that it sells you on the fact that the main cast are actually friends that like and care for each other.
For some reason a lot of teen dramas have characters that are supposed to be friends, but that treat each other in weirdly antagonistic ways, or that are just... cold to each other. Like they are acquaintances more than friends.
With the Teen Wolf gang, you believe that these kids are friends for real, even the ones that don't interact as much like Lydia and Scott for example, you can see there is an undercurrent of genuine care and appreciation for each other when they do.
Not to mention their relationships are often very mature, definitely Scott's are. You cen feel they are in love, they try to be together. They are not action figures smashed together by writers to make shippers go woo. For a teen show it's... unbeliveable
I feel like the seizure senses were inspired by service dogs trained to detect seizures, and the implications of that are just too good.
They can also sniff out sickness (at least cancer) like trained dogs
THATS HOW I ALWAYS FELT! 😀
I like when Scott and Allison think stiles is saying beastiality instead of bestiary
People stopped having seizures after that episode. At least, while Scott was just hanging out. I'm sure while he's fighting the villains, people are having intense seizures offscreen. Rough stuff
@@PanAndScanBuddy *ruff
season 3b was a really well executed psychological thriller and a horror wrapped into one. I know Dylan O'Brien deserved endless praise for his portrayal of Void Stiles but the writers, cinematography crew and all the people who worked on it really did an amazing job. 3b was the product of genius story-writing, combined with haunting visuals and stellar acting
thank. you. preach.
3b was def the best teen wolf season
i loved how they carried that on for season 5
The opening scene of 3b, where Stiles is trapped in a nightmare and keeps thinking he’s awake only to wake up SCREAMING chilled me to the bone. I haven’t seen many horror films that can get me that spooked.
Remember watching it with my sibblings, my brother has never seen the show before and his reaction to void stiles were epic. Chocked and mad and so involved...😂😂😂
okay but lydia screaming allison's name when she feels her death happening hit me more than allison's last words to scott
The fact that Lydia can literally FEEL Allison's death as it happens, big oof.
In that moment, she knows she's powerless; she's knows there is nothing her powers can do.
I always found it kind of funny💀
It was the only reason I cared about her death, I liked Allison but not much emotion until you see Lydia just break and it's like oh my god this is sad
Even just reading that I'm crying all over again.
It made me laugh 😂😂
I also love the running gag of everyone questioning Stiles name. Like in the parent teacher conference episode in season one. The teacher was like. "His name is Stiles?" I also love Chris Argent character arch. From he went to hating the pack in season one to being a second father to Scott and watching over the pack after his daughter's death. There were some good moments in this show and Chris Argent stood out. Don't know if you agree or not.
I think we all agree. 👍
Honestly the second he came on-screen I knew I'd be a fan as I've loved that dude in everything since I first saw him in The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. Also felt him and Isaac could have had a spin off.
I am still having a hard time with the idea of a Teen Wolf movie without Stiles. He's more than just the comedy; he's always been the glue that keeps the group together. The show always felt weird when he wasn't involved.
For real!!! Also Arden for Kira not returning. I enjoyed those two characters too
we should’ve known how bad it would turn out as soon as dylan o’brien didn’t come back lol
It was as hard to watch as it was to imagine!
its one of the reasons I hated 6A
not having Stiles with the group was jarring and he couldn't let his prescence with the rest of the cast be felt
of course him with Peter was a classic idea..but still not the same
The original 80s movie even had stiles
How dare you dishonour Derek by forgetting that he gains the ability to turn into a full wolf at the end of season 4 only to leave immediately after. Love this btw
IKR
He did say that he wasn't even gonna acknowledge season 4B, since the premise of Kate coming back was stupid. But the fact is that 4B gives Derek a sort of closure to his past by defeating Kate (it was bs that Kate escaped though), and it explains Peter's intentions of becoming the Alpha
I really love the reveal that Lydia is a banshee, mainly because it's clear that they planned it out at least a full season in advance, which is a RARITY in teen shows. Also the scene where the teacher tries to strangle her and she lets out her first shriek that shakes the very air around her is so awesome! And then I appreciated when they made her banshee powers give her directions in subtle or creative ways, like I remember a scene where she's driving in the car with someone, using her phone to navigate, and at some point she realises her passenger can't hear the phone's directions, it's actually her powers tricking her into finding a dead body
Oooh I forgot about the mental GPS scene
The strings scene was also pretty dope
Yeah! She has some of the best scenes of the show. It was really well done.
One of the best things about Lydia is that she never stops being feminine, even in the gritty and dark setting she's in.
She's always in a dress, wearing makeup, heels; so cute.
And her power comes from something pretty stereotypically girly:
Screaming.
Yes I agree with that. They basically started it from the end of season 2 when peter bites her and clearly after something's happening to her. Little hints are dropped throughout the season like " your something all right" and her knowing something's going on. Then it's revealed in a very nice way. I really like the maturity of the show, how it's done.
"Teen Wolf is the show where no one really dies, except for Allison" This aged horribly
Lol 😆
Only if he knew 🤣
Why’s that? When did she come back?
@@deityoflongtravels8681in the movie, she comes back
@@madelinekouassi9884 why?! How did they explain that? Did they even bother to explain it?
i was a huge fan of teen wolf back in the day, and when i found out tyler hoechlin was coming to the country for a local comic con, i immediately decided i would draw him some art to give him during a signing. now i have no idea why, but i was absolutely convinced that he was a short grumpus. did i ever look him up outside of the show? fuck no. i just thought he was a rad dude and he was one of my fave characters so whatever
so imagine my surprise when the biggest labrador of a man comes bouncing out excited to meet all of us, and during my turn i was so speechless i just handed him my art print and stared. he looked at it, said "is this for me????" and then immediately picked all 5'4" of my asian self off the floor in a big hug. i''ve never fully recovered since lol. teen wolf will always have a special place in my heart for getting me through some dark college years, and meeting a genuinely sweet human being like tyler hoechlin will always be one of the best memories i have
Aww that's sweet
Most wholesome actor-fan interaction
Literally perfect to be superman
Teen Wolf is a perfect example of how bad shows can become the best shows if everybody making them knows they're bad and just embraces it and has fun with it.
If the show is bad to begin with, it will be canceled. This is an example of a bad show.
@@user-qr2vo8pc9b After 6 seasons and 100 episodes? No, your logic is flawed. I’m not saying it’s a perfect show, it has it problems and it ended poorly but obviously people loved it enough to get a movie.
@@sage7980 "This is example" - I meant those shows that was canceled asap and didn't lasted long, wich TW is not.
@@user-qr2vo8pc9b Oh sorry. Misunderstood. One network though that will cancel shows that are good though is Fox. That channel has cut off so many shows too early and weirdly ones that have low ratings will stay on. Apologies again for not reading your comment correctly.
"Where??? aRe YoU?? Getting YOuR juuUicE????"
I love that the stiles dream sequences aren’t like distorted or anything. There’s nothing in the scenes visuals that hint at it being a dream and I love that
33:04 If Stiles doesn’t know the difference between dreams and reality, why should we?
Justice for Arden Cho. The show did her dirty. I was so looking forward to the show having fun in seeing a kitsune just being awesome
3b would never have happened without the writers realizing that Dylan O'Brien had moved beyond "yeah, he can act and he's funny" to a genuine super talent in the making.
I keep wondering how long people are going to watch him and bc he makes everything he does look so easy -- underestimate him.
I also think that a very big reason why 3B is terrifying and why Void!Stiles is the best character is because Stiles the characters are suddenly completely hopeless. Stiles was not only the comic relief but the thing that held them together at their worst, so with him thinking he's developing prefrontal dementia and losing his mind, their source of hope is gone. We can also see this happen, although to a very lower degree, in 6A, without Stiles the group loses its dynamic.
DUDE YES. by episode two I was like ummm stiles isn't going to make it. Pure psychological terror.
I've always had the theory that the nogitsune chose Styles deliberately. Just as you've pointed out, of all the characters on the show, Syles goes out of his way to rationalise, criticise and strategise through mysteries and actions, in humorful fashion. The nogitsune is a trickster. It chose Noshiko's lover because she would struggle psychologically wondering whether or not he was still in there, still alive under the nogitsune, and that made her hesitate fighting back. Is it too far of a stretch to say the choice of Styles was because of his role in the pack as the hopeful thinker? From the riddle to the hallucinations, and let's not forget the game of Go, a strategy game of surrounding the enemy. What better symbolism is there? And Styles, being the rational thinker he is, sunk deeper and deeper into the game, giving more and more of his mind to the nogistsune in order to find a way out, until, finally, he realised he needed to stop playing. Still one the best climaxes of that show; the beginning of the defeat of the nogitsune.
the lack of melissa, chris argent and sheriff stilinski in this video aches deep within my heart. I think they are in my top 5 characters of the entire show.
Sheriff Is in my top 5
@@zxnn8543 Don't forget Chris.
His character development stemming from the love of his daughter is 🤌🏻.
Or Coach
Ngl i loved the parents more than the teens especially the new ones
Right? Sometimes it feels like teen shows just ignore the parents? Even though parents are such a huge part of a teenager's life. I loved all of them and their interactions with their kids.
In 3B's defense, if you just watched the show, and not the promotional material, Allison's death actually is very shocking and a very significant moment for the characters and for the show. This was my situation, at least, and I wasn't expecting it all and in that case it really managed to pull at the heartstrings. I do wish they'd explored its ramifications more, though, and the grief of other characters because of her, but it seems like her closest people either leave the show or totally easily move on from her dying, which sucks.
I disagree with your point that Gerard could have just asked Derek for the bite. Derek was a minor when Gerard's daughter who was an adult manipulated him and essentially groomed him to get information from him so she could kill his entire family. Derek has a massive grudge against the Argents, he isn't going to do anything to help that family. His entire life is ruined because of them and to top it all off he blames himself for trusting Kate.
also Derek does turn into a "full wolf" later in the series, I'm pretty sure just before it happens everyone thinks his dead

@@camouflagedreality8006 didnt he mean peter with the full wolf? but scott did have a time when he almost transform into that.
Also he helped alison a bunch, he dont hate the whole family just her after he learned the truth
yeah, i thought it made sense gerard would want to make a dumb kid become alpha because then he can manipulate a bite from said dumb teenager more sucessfully than any other werewolf alpha. And at the time Scott was considered a "lone wolf" without a pack. I think season 2 and 3a establish that Scott can have a pack where the members aren't just werewolf and it signals others that he shouldnt be considered a lone wolf.
Yeah Derek probably would’ve realized Gerard was dying and been like, “good, I hope it’s slow and painful”
I love how Riverdale tried to redo Lydia with Cheryl but absolutely failed at making her at least as half as iconic
LMAO i watched riverdale before this video and i could see the painful similarities, down to the speech mannerisms and shit. like they really tried to duplicate her in their batshit horrible show and made a cringey, pathetic, and incredibly unlikeable character
@@wonwoop Right 💀 Like they cast Madelaine Petsch because she looks similar to Holland even. They gave her the most weird lines and Lydia's sassiness. It's not a good combo.
I remember watching Riverdale thinking Cheryl could never handle Lydia. Lydia grandually became a badass. Cheryl... we don't know what Cheryl is.
Lydia also sucks as a character. All she does is scream
@@a.g9791 Um... maybe like watch the show again and...pay attention this time?
Unironically though; the jokes between stiles and his dad or stiles and coach are some of the funniest shit on TV ever
"You're not gay."
"W-I could be."
"Not dressed like that."
Those are some underrated dynamics. I loved the coach and dad characters they had some amazing comedic timing
coach blowing the whistle and stiles losing his patience is so fucking hilarious
The relationship between Stiles and his dad is one of the best parent son relationships period.
Absolutely 💯
To this day I firmly believe that someone on the Teen Wolf production team wanted Stiles to be the main character and tried everything in their power to make it happen - and no one can convince me otherwise.
Why? Let's see.
In the beginning of the show Stiles gets the funniest scenes and best lines, both of which are delivered with impeccable comedic timing. Need a character to summarize the current situation? Stiles delivers. A scene needs one last reaction shot before the cameras cut away? Stiles.
On top of that he has the best chemistry with the other characters (everything from the early scenes with Derek and Stiles to Jackson's warbled "I have a resTRAINING OrdER!" is comedy gold).
And finally: he had - hands down - the best character development in the show, from scared, clumsy kid who dabbled in magic to being possessed by an ancient demon to a competent (and sometimes scary) adult.
Funny enough this lead to a weird effect which I am convinced they had planned for Scott: For a long time I felt like I was watching the events of the show through Stiles eyes, who was - for most of the show - the only "normal" kid in a supernatural cast.
Makes it funnier when you consider that Dylan was originally scouted for the role of Scott but he passed it lol
I don't think that is the case, this is more a Tyrion Lannister thing. Let me explain, Tyrion becomes far more important in the shows then the book and a far more nicer guy too, and that is just because Peter Dinklage is so charming. I think the same thing happened to Stiles, his charm made him become more and more important in the show as time passed.
Initially, the show was meant to be more of a comedy and there they picked Styles to be the straight guy, the normal person who makes the rest of weirdos stand out and that put a lot of spotlight on him, and once the show got more serious, the viewers were already fans of him.
Actors and actresses are really important to a show. Of course they also screw that up at times, Alison was a great character in the first season but after that they really didn't use her well which lead to her death. Her problem was that she had great chemistry with Scott but once they broke them up they didn't knew what to do with her (one would think they could have figured out something but the show had a habit of forgetting what to do with characters and instead introduce new ones. Nothing wrong with introducing new characters but in Alison's case they either should have killed her in the end of season 1 or found something else to do instead of basically forgetting about her and kill her off later to shock the audience, but since she done very little for 2 seasons people cared way less by then).
This movie is even worse, they bring in a whole lot of people just to be there and that is not doing anything for anyone, just padding for the runtime in a story that already feels as disjointed as the Wheadon cut of the Justice league. It do not need any padding, never rush the plot so you can show some characters doing nothing.
I usually don’t like new characters in shows that become new love interests but I loved Kira. I wasn’t upset Scott wasn’t with Allison anymore because I liked him and Kira together. And I loved her arc with her fighting and her kitsune background I loved it and she was a breath of fresh air
same, but that might also be me being biased(?) because she's asian like me and i rarely see asian women in supernatural shows like teen wolf lol
I love Kira in the beginning but the writers fucked up her character. I didn’t like her and Scott together though because they had zero chemistry honestly I felt Kira had more chemistry with Malia but maybe that’s just me 😂😅
am I the only one who hates her? she was just so useless. she dropped her katana literally two seconds into every fight scene she was in. it was infuriating!
@@ceciliahartmeyer3234 My thoughts exactly. Her and Scott are so unbelievably boring together. This might be because I’m severely asexual, but their scenes together made me cringe. Tbh I feel like Scott doesn’t have chemistry with any of the girls they paired him with. Malia and Kira, on the other hand, would have been awesome to see in canon.
@@mojishusameee, I’m also ace and I love slow burn couples (I mostly ship Stiles and Lydia bc of that) and hate the love at first sight stuff because I just don’t get it, I need to know someone so those kind of relationships don’t really have that much impact for me
Say what you will but season 3B was the peak of teen dramas (and Dylan O'Brien deserved an award for his performance)
But... that's exactly what I said

Season 3 really was the peak of the show. Not only was having a friend, one of the core five, turn evil and raise the emotional stakes, void stiles was a great villain and wrapped the entire season in psychological horror and stress. Plus by then, the in universe rules had been established as well as new comers like issac and kiara dynamics with the group, it really was the best season of the whole show.
I prefer season 5 over Season 3
Both were amazing

@@maddenrichard someone who liked s5 yess
ive never met a person that understood or liked lydias and stiles relationship. i think as friends they are so brilliant and have sm potential and have a special chemistry bc they came a long way to become friends (from stiles having a crush on her as a kid and being the only one to recognize her brilliance and encouraging her to lean more into her nerdy side and lydia softening up) and they have a lot in common under the surface
Him and Malia made so much more sense
I actually really liked their relationship tbh, they had witty banter and a good base of a friendship before they got together which I like. I hate the “love at first sight” bullshit so I guess I liked it because it was a slow burn and their chemistry developed onscreen :3
lydia and kira were the best and most interesting characters on this show. i love how they turned lydia from this shallow mean girl and it turned out she’s a literal genius, and is actually a very good person. and her banshee powers were one of the best additions to the mythology in this show, i loved how she ended up being able to use them defensively in the later seasons.
and kira was such a charming character you couldn’t help but love. and her being kitsune was soooo cool to me, to see japanese folklore on a mainstream tv show and to have representation for asian people on a prodominantly white show, was so amazing for high school me to see. it’s a shame they wrote her out so lazily and never gave her a proper sendoff.
I get what you're saying about kira but.. I hated her and I still hate her. the concept of her character? brilliant, 10/10. kitsune is a super fun mythological creature that I am 100% here for. the execution? I just... I just can't. I watch her in a fight scene and it never fails that two seconds in it's "oops I dropped my sword". every. damn. time. she was fucking USELESS. more useless than stiles, AND HE'S A FUCKING HUMAN. it always felt to me that instead of fleshing out her character as a badass fox spirit warrior, they used her as a replacement love interest for scott because they knew they were killing off Allison at the end of the season. the potential was there, but it never reached the height it should have reached.
@@winchesters4life34 pretty sure there was some racial sexist undertones with the actress, she wasn't happy how she was treated on set (can't remember if it was just towards her or if it was monetary or mix). She was recurring on Ryan Higa CZcams she's the sweetest.

"I'M A THOUSAND YEARS OLD YOU CAN'T KILL ME" I remember this scene so clearly I had goosebumps all over my body
Fun fact, they were leading up to jackson being the one related to peter hale, they built it up with the mysterious car crash thing with his parents and the fact that his heritage was the reason he became a kanima instead of a werewolf, but colton Haynes wanted to be written off. So instead of getting huge character development for jackson in season 3 along with all the other amazing things in it, we got Malia to get a random twist and find a way to keep the peter hale dad story line going.
Colton didn't want to be written off. But the producer wanted to keep colton for one or 2 episods but they didn't want him to go do other projects. So he left and went to arrow . Also he had some issues with his mom health, him still in the closet and anxiety. And he end up with an addiction so yeah.
I was so into the jackson / péter connection
I'm kinda glad they didn't go for it. Haynes and Peter's actor have 12 years of age difference.
They should have just recasted. Teen drama show always pull this secret family member twist that doesn't make sense (cough cough Riverdale). But this one had a good build up. Could've been one example of this trope done right. Also alpha pack was coming for mainly jackson. And peter coming back would also be more interesting than him just being there. All those story line potential just went nowhere.
@@cybercriminal3110 ???
I do not follow your logic?
You do know Crystal Reed, Allison's actress, is older than Tyler Hoechlin, Derek's actor, when Teen Wolf started, right?
Age of actors doesn't matter unless it involves legality.
@@colt9836 My logic is that Haynes and Peter don't look anything like father and son.
season 3B is the season I end up randomly re-watching even without binging the whole show as a whole. Dylan O'Brien already carried most of the show as it is, but in that season? he freaking dominated it. it truly showed how good of an actor he is and I WISH they could give him a role with as much depth, charisma & ambiguity as stiles in 3B.
Personally one of my big grips with this show and a lot of shows/ movies of the 2010s was that it was annoyingly, visibly dark. I would have to black out my room and turn my screen up to full brightness and I still couldn’t make out a lot of what was going on. Which kinda defeats the whole point of being a visual media. I can’t appreciate things like sets, make up and effects if I can’t see anything because of either the lack of lighting or the annoying grey/brown filter over every other scene.
Penny Dreadful was great, dark, horror drama put part of why I loved it is because I could actually see what was going on.
Someone finally said it, thank u. Especially in places where its supposed to be light like in TVD ,the hospitals were always really dark which is not realistic, but in TW it was lighter in the hospitals.
Could be because of budgeting issues, the cgi was already pretty iffy to be honest, if every shot was well lit and you could see everything it would've been a lot worse in my opinion, i think it's just clever camera work
Honestly, I would've loved if there was an episode where the crew actually bring it up because there's a creature that uses darkness/is strengthened by shadows/etc.
You're not wrong. For quite a lot of the clips I've seen on CZcams (which accounts for everything I've ever seen of the show), I have to turn off the lights and bump up the brightness on my phone. It's annoying.
Lol, HANNIBAL
i just fucking LOVE how everyone who watched teen wolf from season 1 to season 6 just agrees that season 3b is easily the best fucking season of the whole series. if i were to rewatch teen wolf, i can just rewatch season 3b so easily without hesitations. everyone’s acting was so good, ESPECIALLY dylan’s. he really shined in that season and how he really fucked everyone’s minds (the characters and the audiences) really shows how much of a great actor he is the range that he can do. it’s been like years since void stiles and i still believe that he deserves an award for that character alone. he carried the whole show on his shoulders so easily.
Season 3 definitely was the best especially 3b. I love 1st and 2nd seasons as well. 4-6 weren't so bad but s3 raised my expectations so much, I was getting more and more disappointed.
I actually remember being so terroritoral over stiles because I was there for the premiere and he was always my favorite (s1 stiles was soo overlooked) lmao
I full heartedly agree. 3b has my entire heart
3 is good.. but I do think they avnt finsh it off.. because the fox is still there they lock the wrong fox up...in the box.. that why stiyle is still in the box.. & he kept telling them let him out..., that why Alison is coming bk for him. In movie? ..,
I like 3a better actually
Dylan O'Brians acting is criminally underrated. From a technical standpoint his acting in Teen wolf is great. It kinda sucks because I feel like people only know him for Teen Wolf and The Maze Runner series, which are both like teen angsty type works, and because of that think he's not that great or whatever he's just some mediocre "hot guy" actor.
I Am happy he is getting more movie roles now he has 4 movies coming out in the future and the new teen wolf movie will be his 5th coming out, so the man is still working and it does not have to be any big buget movie he does his best acting in smaller movies like last year's Flashback. In feb his next movie The Outfit is coming out and the Taylor swift music video was great.
He definitely had his "internet's favourite white boy" moment, but in his case I really think he deserves all the recognition. He is super charismatic and expressive and his acting is always such a joy to watch. He had a bit of bad luck in there for a while with the accident etc, but I really hope he continues getting interesting roles.
I dont think hes that hot, or hot, haha, but I really hope he gets nightwing cause he could absolutly pull it off
@@KHWendy28 i’m so sad he’s probably not doing the teen wolf movie
people really do just boil him down to an actor fangirls love, instead of giving him the credit hes due. Hes a genuinely good actor with the roles he gets.
Jackson & ethan returning in the last (?) season as a couple had me HOWLING in laughter. That was so random lmao
but it was cute tho :3
all I could thought was how Lydia and Jackson has a similar taste for man lol
@@rbcbcsWAIT
It didn't even make sense but I didn't care😂 they were cute
I remember back in 2017 when I first saw that(that was when it originally aired) I didn't like it, but only because it goes against Jeff Davis explanantion about the show. I remember someone asked why there is a lot of gay stuff on the show, and he responded that the show takes place in a parrelell universe where homophobia doesn't exist, and that is why there is younger gay characters on the show because if homophobia doesn't exist then they don't need to worry about getting their parents permission. A lot of gay people in real life come out at a much later age because of homophobia, and I like the idea of a world where homophobia doesn't exist, an extra reason why I like the show(and it also shows that homosexuality is more natural then homophobia). So when they reveal in the last season that Jackson is really gay this whole time, then that means he was pretending to be straight in the first 2 seasons of the show, which goes against what the creator of the show said about the world the show takes place in.
“He doesn't actually know anything about her he just thinks she's hot” there were many scenes in the early few seasons when he constantly brought up her pretending to be so dumb popular girl. When they go to the dance she was complaining about how she looked and he called her beautiful, she looked genuinely happy to hear someone say that especially with Jackson being such a dick. Their relationship was set up as Lydia being very insecure and hiding her true nature to be popular and Stiles being the only person who understood who she truly was. It was a big part of her character development.
3B is responsible for Dylan O'Brien's successful career. It was when he got to show the great actor he is. He outshined EVERYONE on that show before and After. No one in the cast could match his talent and ability.
(My English is pretty shitty, I'm sorry)
You’re so right literally all of his co workers are jobless now😂(except Tyler hoechlin). While Dylan starred as a lead role in a big franchise. Starred as a lead role in American assassin, in love and monsters. Now has 2 big new movies (the outfit , not okay) coming out and got eyes on him again due to the Taylor swift video. I can’t wait to see where he goes now cause it’s only going up
Idk I think he would have had his shout either way... but it was amazing, seeing him in that role. I hope to god he doesn't stop acting, like he thought he would (after that accident in the Maze Runner)
@@antonizajkowski9698 what happened?
@@SweetNothing937 He doesn't really say, all we know is that he got hurt.

I'm kinda sad that you didn't talk about the relationship between Styles and his dad, and maybe Scott's mom since we hardly see representation of good parent-child relationships in teen shows but overall, great video! Can't wait for the movie to come out, so I can watch your video on it :)
So true....
I'm with you. My favourite elements of the show are Stiles (fortunately FSN gave Dylan his flowers, so I feel validated), and his relationship with his Dad.
@@robbiesmith8055 what is FSN?
@@Shortyriri Friendly Space Ninja lol
The fact that Stiles and Scott lowkey became brothers
As someone who got into Teen Wolf after it already ended, I had ZERO idea Allison was gonna die so I was absolutely distraught when it happened
"Bullied when he was 9"! Did you leave the explanation of his motives running while you went to the bathroom?! He was nearly drowned, he almost died, got victim blamed for it and then the people involved swore an oath of silence so it would be his word against there's if he ever spoke up. He could tell no one, didn't get any therapy because of it & had to see these same people all the time from then on and act normal. And as you said, he was nine!

and isaac while we're at it!
@@juliacudney PLEASE. this isaac slander is hurting me 😔
OMG pleaseee, I'd love to see you two together discuss the show podcast style!
I'm down!!
@@victoriaklein994 That sounds incredibly fun!
Something interesting about seasons 1 and 2 is how realistic consequences are shown. Teen shows where the cast spend little time doing schoolwork or being at school usually wave away consequences, act all out of sight out of mind, but Scott’s issues with werewolf/life balance take a toll on his grades to the point he’s at risk of repeating the grade level (he takes summer school between seasons 1 and 2, so he can stay with his friends). The antics Stiles gets up to reach straw that breaks the camel’s back when his theft of a police van loses his father the position of town sheriff (that it was needed to contain Jackson wasn’t a good excuse since Stiles’ father wasn’t in the loop by that point about the supernatural). Contrast with Vampire Diaries or Riverdale, where the cast seem to not have problems with schoolwork despite spending more and more time on plot stuff.
^^^
And then come season three there's a huge inquiry where law enforcement local & federal eventually takes the stance that Beacon Hills is just too entirely weird and that their going to let locals take the lead on this shit because no one else knows what's going on anymore! Meaning the growing amount of people who knows what's going on all working together regards of age or station to try & save lives as best they can. Which is arguably realistic in its own weird sort of way
I liked Gerard's convoluted messed up weird plan. We went from "grief turned him evil" to "wait, he's using this so he can take control and start a war without women being in the way" to "frick me, now his daughter makes sense" (she seduced a child to burn said child's family)
God, same 😭 Gerard is undoubtedly Fucking Insane and I love it. Talia was right when she said Gerard would never accept a peace summit and yet, Duecalion went anyways and got so traumatized he became a villain of 3a and the notorious alpha of the alpha pack.
Gerard carries around a broadsword for disemboweling people and is a master manipulator that knows how to use fear to inspire genocide. Absolute batshit old man that really explains how his family turned out .. like That.
Fun fact: The darker tone of the show is what the writer of the original movie wanted but studios wouldn't have it so he had to rework the story to be more family friendly and comedic. I actually loved seeing the show as it gave me a view into how the original creator envisioned his story.
I always find it funny that Stiles was the best friend/comic relief character at first but at the end of season 1 he started to become more. His relationships with the rest of the characters especially his dad elevate him so much. When you hear about his anxieties and thoughts throughout he’s just such a well crafted character played by a great actor. He wound up being the best character in the whole show. They realised this by season 3b and made him the main focus. And again by 6a, he was the emotional heart of the show. Absolutely the highlight of the whole series!
I also love that Dylan O'Brien actually was at the casting for Scott, but then during the reading of the pilot script alone he loved Stiles so much that he wanted to play him instead. Legend behaviour
I love your profile image lol
He was my favourite on the show, despite not having powers. Guy is a talented actor too, that helps.
I think growing Lydia's banshee powers would have been cooler if they kept leaning into the "death omen" aspect of their mythology that had early focus, like her scream causing popped blood vessels, aneurysms, heart palpitations, signs of impending death essentially, or even being able to cause a death by screaming, rather than scream because someone will die. I just think that is such an interesting aspect of what banshees are, beings intrinsically linked with the very idea of death, and it doesn't get explored enough in modern pop culture (at least that I've seen)
Headcanon time: Every time she does one of those scream shotgun blasts in the later seasons; she unknowingly dooms some random person to die horribly somewhere in the world. The more often she uses it, the closer she gets to becoming an unintentional mass murderer.
I did not understand at all what banshees were supposed to be
@@jaernihiltheus7817 oh shit that would've been so horrifying i love it
I actually don't like this idea purely from a banshee depiction standpoint. Banshees are literally just here to warn people of death, not to cause it or worsen the situation. If anything, they're often (though not always) gentle and protective spirits in Irish mythology. Having a "family banshee" was even a point of pride. Idk, I just don't like the trend of western media grimdark-ifying/cherry-picking the creepier legends of death related mythology
I didn't watch the show though so I can't tell if this would be good for the story lol
@@akirasaito1551 That's fair. I mostly just wish that, since they gave her banshee powers that can be used to fight anyway, they were more than just, essentially, yelling like Black Canary from DC. There's also dramatic potential to explore the line between what you can do as a heavily spiritual being who warns of death and misfortune, and as a being who is still alive, can still be killed, and needs some way of defending themself. I'm also generally a fan of stories that confront the realities of death, the fact that while it's more often than not some degree of traumatic to experience or witness it is an absolute, a part of life so intrinsic to our understanding of the world, that we consider it an essential part of what it is to live. Death isn't good, it isn't evil, it just is, it can help free you from endless suffering, but it can also take you from those you love far sooner than you're ready. That duality & conflict is fascinating to see embodied in someone with a human life experience to reckon with, & I think powers more in the vein of what I mentioned fit better, thematically speaking, with the idea of tying a human (at least in mind and experience) character to the conceptualization of death
I recently binged the entire series and 3B is on a completely different level than the rest of the show. It's just too damn good. For me Dylan O'Brien completely carried the show. It survived the departure of other characters like Allison but S6 missed Stiles terribly. It doesn't work and it just collapses without him. I'd have loved the show to have ended with the 6A finale because it really feels like an end and 6B to have been marketed as some sort of 10 episode mini spin off season instead but it is what it is. The more I learn about the film and knowing (at the time I'm writing this) Dylan and Arden are not returning and Tyler H is unlikely to be in it... my expectations are low.
As for Allison's death -- it may have turned into a marketing strategy, but her death wasn't the _result_ of marketing. Crystal Reed wanted to leave, told them at the start of the season, and they wrote it in. *Then* MTV ran with it. Allison's last words weren't even in the script like that but they ran with it.
Thank You for putting in the 'divine move' clip of Void Stiles. 'I'm a thousand years old YOU CAN'T KILL ME' is so goofy on paper, and when you consider how campy some equally dramatic lines were from Peter, Deucalion and Gerard turned out (here's looking at you mOuNtAiN aShHhHhh), it's a testament to DOB's performance that it comes off as genuinely menacing.
That line gets me every time too and still freaks me out.
Hahaha, I forgot about mountain ash! You could make a drinking game the amount of times that came up.
Dylan O'Brien as the Nogitsune is one of the best performances I have ever seen and anybody will convince me otherwise
@@laiaal.3324 Fan fact:
Teen Wolf is Dylan's debut as an actor.
I would bet money he pushed for Stiles to be possessed as the Nogitsune so he could showcase his skill.
@@colt9836 yeah, said no one.
The nogitsune arc was genius, actually the scene where Stiles gets trapped in his dream and keeps waking up is one of my favourites scenes in TV of all time.
I really think that whole arc was written just to allow Dylan to show off his acting skills, and I really think that helped him get the movie roles that he had in the next 2 years or so
Speaking of the way they treated Arden Cho
In the new reboot that they are making, they didn't want to give her the same amount of money as the remaining leads and she had to leave.
It's just not cool.
I watched the show post completion and had literally never heard a single spoiler about it, so to find out that Allison's death got spoiled for you guys really sucks :/. I don't know why, but her death was one of the only and by far the hardest I have cried over a character death from literally any kind of media I have consumed ever. The only two that may top that were two fanfictions I read. (Upon second though, hers was the second hardest, bc one of those fansfics legit had me crying off and on for days)
I also watched the show years after it aired and I did not expect Alison's death to hit THAT hard!
Which fandom, which ship and where can I find the fanfiction that made you cry that much?
@@anzabi1543 The fandom is from a kpop group called Tomorrow by Together. The ship is Yeonjun x Beomgyu and the fic can be found on ao3 titled "under the sky in room 553 I discovered you and I". If you have plans to read it, I have pictures and stuff with the members names that I made a while back when I was recommending the book to someone else. I can post them to one of my old abandoned Instagram accounts for easy access. I also have two links that I would greatly recommend listening to at points during your read since it plays a part in the story
23:36 Dogs can be trained to smell oncoming seizures in order to warn people and get them somewhere safe, so I like to think Scott just somehow was able to smell Erica's seizure coming. Now, do I think the writers knew this was a thing? No. No I do not. But it's a neat coincidence.
Nah they probably knew it’s a pretty well known fact which is probably why they didn’t explain it in the show
Yeah I think they knew and just throw in as “look hahaha dog things”
i remember that they do establish at one point that dogs and werewolves can smell when someone has cancer/dying, so i just thought of that when Scott smells Erica's seizure oncoming
Dylan O´Brien is the best actor out of the cast, hands down. And he´s still got it. He perfectly played the manipulative groomer in All Too Well
Right? Like I hated him so much in that and i didn't think it was possible to hate dylan o'brien
YES! Stan him
Flashback was also so wild. Dylan O'Brien is a gem.
Dylan O'Brien is genuinely a GREAT actor
just in one show he gives us a great comical relief, then makes us cry with all the drama with the beginning of 3B and then he goes all villain and he is TERRIFYING
also with the peter and the teacher scene in season 3 there’s literally a big fight scene between scott and peter about the whole alpha situation in season 4 with the beserker storyline.
one thing i actually like about the later seasons is the effect 3b had on stiles. after 3b he's not the same light hearted comic relief character cuz of what he's been through. yeah he still has his moments but he's not the same. he has clear trust issues with new people which scott often belittled like with theo. i hated how scott was mad at stiles for killing someone in self defense in s5?
Yup i noticed that after 3b Stiles just wasn’t the same
He really was not mad at stiles for that, he understood it was self defense. He was only mad at the lie Theo told him.
@@mercyortega5848 he doubted him, he gave him a hard time and even questioned him as a friend. That shit really pissed me off
I hate how in shows the character in trouble has the opportunity to clear their name yet choose not to for example all stiles had to say is that dude fell on a pipe all on his own , to no longer mark him as a killer , i mean yeah sure he pulled that pin thingy but he didnt actively stab him
i agree but also at the same time i feel like 3b didn't have ENOUGH effect on stiles.
Ahahaha yes Sterek all the way!
Just gonna quickly point out that you say at the start that no one talks about becoming a full wolf after season 1.. but Derek literally turns into one when he 'dies'/evolves at the end of the Kate/Mexico storyline, and they show in a flashback that his mum was one too. Admittedly, it's not super memorable, but yeah it does briefly come back.
Also in the glory of season three I gotta talk about the flare/suicide scene and that whole conversation that Scott and Stiles have outside Motel California because holy shit. That scene I think will always stay with me, it's so beautifully and heartbreakingly executed.
It sucks that the bonds between the core characters take a backseat in the later seasons, because seasons 1-3 really leaned into the idea of building a pack, using the cheesey cliche of friends as family but adding a supernatural element to it that really was the heart of the show, even implying (then abandoning) the idea that Stiles as a human is still connected to the pack in some way. I never watched past season 4, but it seems to me that the show was basically dead when they felt they needed to bring in "the next generation" to take over instead of just adding one or two characters to flesh out the pack and focusing on their dynamics and drama. At that point they should have just planned a strong final season so it ended on a bang instead of a whimper.
The thing with this show is that they always kept talking about how powerful Lydia is and how she could easily kill someone with her powers if she wanted too,yet we only get to see how strong her powers are ONCE and we barely see her fight in the whole show. Most of the time she just stays behind while the rest of the gang steps up to fight. It always bothered me so much when everyone was like "lYdiA,iF yoU leArN hoW To uSe yOur pOwerS,yOu'rE gonNa bE uNstOpPablE" and then when she finally does learn how to use them nothing happens..😐
Just because she can obliterate everyone and everything, doesn't mean she has to or even wants to. Technically. Yeah i know, writing things for the authors, etc etc. I agree with you, just giving another perspective :)
Same with Scott honestly, could have been a more powerful alpha
@@madelinekouassi9884 I hated how he always lost, but then at the end of the season they just remembered that he was the "true alpha" and he got powerful
they tried to make lydia the scarlet witch of the show but all we got was that one sequence in eichen house when she tried to escape (i think, i haven’t watched in a hot minute)
I personally dislike that Lydia becomes a fighter later on. Like Stiles, she wasn't supposed to be an asset to the team because she was handy in a fight. It was her intelligence and her interpretation of her visions that she brought to the table, and I don't like that they tried making her more powerful than she had to be.
So we all agree Dylan O’Brien deserved an Emmy for season 3B - VOID STILES SUPREMACY
Glad someone said it
+1
Season 3B is definitely the best part of the show, season 3 as a whole is good but 3B just takes it up a notch. It’s one of the reason i like Dylan o Brian as an actor, being able to be comic relief in the previous seasons, then becoming the main bad guy and playing both so well in the span of a single season just makes you respect his acting ability
one thing i appreciate about this show i like how scott wasn’t all built until he grows muscle AFTER he got built he was just a normal geeky kid and then progressively changed well and you can see him build.
My problems with Teen Wolf
Inabaility to focus on a core group of interesting main characters, kept adding unnecessary people that no one cared about
Inability on focus on werewolves/werewolf lore, kept adding new weird creatures into the mix. The show actually stopped being about teen wolves!
Complete lack of character development around Derek Hale and his family
Oversexualisation of kids
this is so true. i feel like when you compare it to how extensively the vampire diaries developed vampire lore, they’re lack of emphasis on werewolf lore is particularly evident. the new weird creatures too really annoyed me too like were coyotes? really?
The New characters imo are the best, my favorite cast is from season 4-6. (Stiles being my favorite). The newer cast is so much better than season 1-2 cast. Also they are not "Kids' they are teens, and teens are sexual beings. This is a teen show. Of course it would have stuff that teens can relate to. I never really cared about derek or his family, i only really liked Peter from his family.
@@bug8357 I just wish they just stuck to one group and developed them. I get they are they teens, I just felt like they were all adults in their 30s trying to pull off being young and cool lol.
@@bug8357 eh malia and kira were promising but were still handled in lackluster ways. liam was okay, mason was cool but basically stiles 2.0, mason's bf was bleugh and hayden has little to no impact.

Stiles AND Coach carried this show so much. I still crack on their scenes because they are so golden!
that coach was legendary
I HATED the coach in the beginning... but...... when he stopped pestering kids and began defending them... the happiness I felt istg
season 3b is one of the best seasons of a tv show in television history and i stand by that 1000% dylan REALLY should’ve won an emmy for his performance it gives me chills everytime
2 and 3 as a whole were goated
Am I the only one who still loves Derek? I mean it might be because of my huge crush on Tyler Hoechlin but… am I really alone? I like the mentor-ish figure he plays and how he is kinda always there for intel and stuff to help Scott
I still adore Derek :)
My main problems with Teen Wolf:
-Getting rid of Kira, Danny, Boyd, Issac, and Erica for stupid ass reasons and never bringing them back to give them complete stories
-Them not attempting monster of the week episodes in order to properly develop the characters
-No development of Derek Hale's family
-Werewolf lore is completely forgotten about
-The Vampire Diaries problem of not graduating these students in the early seasons and throwing them into the real world
-The final season didn't need to be two parts
i hated how we learned that kira is extremely powerful and if she learns to control it she could potentially be unstoppable and then she’s sent on this mission to never be seen again? but if kira does come back in the movie i guess it works out since hopefully there’s a somewhat timejump
then they decided to reveal that danny knows about the supernatural and he’s never seen again? i think he wouldve been a better benefactor they honestly could’ve used hatred or jealousy that all of his friends we’re supernatural and he wasn’t or something like that.
issac was absent because daniel went to play on ‘The Originals’ for a season and he decided to leave teen wolf behind. i heard that he was embarrassed of his character and decided not to return which i don’t blame him to be honest after season 2 (at the start) he only had a storyline after that he was just in derek or scott’s pack and then allison’s boyfriend in season 3 i could potentially see him returning for the movie hopefully as he did tell jeff to not kill isaac off incase he did want to return to the role
and the actor for erica got a role somewhere for CW and they killed her off but the show got cancelled so that’s unfortunate
I completely agree. I really wanted to learn more about the Hale's and werewolf lore as a whole and i think they dropped the ball with not exploring it more. But Danny!!!! We were supposed to see him more and they even hinted at him becoming an important character (i forget when but they definitely did at the end of 3b) and then he just never showed back up!!
@@InsanxtyMSG with the Danny thing, they did the same thing to him that they did to Arden, didn't tell him he wasn't coming back 🙃
I support all of these!
@@calsh14 oh I h a t e that 😀
Derek was the character that should be our ticket not only to the werewolf mythos but also to the mundane reality of being a born werewolf. Like, with all this over dramatic shit I really wanted the show to expand on how the Hales got by before the fire. What jobs did they have? What was their relationship with the rest of the town? How did the human Hales feel about being in a pack? There was just so much to do with Derek apart from making him work-out shirtless it's criminal none of it was used. I think the show really would benefit from showing us more healthy and regular werewolf packs. Satomi's pack could also be used like that but I hardly remember them, so.
YEEEESSSS!!!!!! I honestly wish the show had been about Derek. Everyone else could still be important as well, but Derek and the Hales were where the true story was!
Derek was so criminally underutilized in this show that it actually made me stop watching it some time after season 3.
This is why I wish Derek became the True Alpha (or the whole idea was non-existent to begin with), because it shows that underneath all his self-loathing, his cold exterior, Derek is still a selfless and heroic character.
I always felt that when he talked to Talia, she passed down her alpha status to him; showcasing that the title is because of the Hale bloodline, rather than violence.
Even if Scott DID become an alpha, it would've been interesting to see two alphas leading a pack.
Especially one as ancient and powerful as Hale.
With all that said, I do understand that the story was about Scott. He is the main protagonist after all.
OMG THIS!! I genuinely thought that all the talk about the Hale family, the introduction of new family members that were thought to be dead i.e. Derek's sister Cora or the mention of his mother, and all the mystery surrounding them was some sort of build up/foreshadowing that would inevitability lead to a major storyline in the show involving the Hale Family, but then nothing happened??
All we really got from the Hales was that they were really involved with the town and they made a lot of money. That’s all they could put out? Not even a three second line of Derek saying “my mom was a doctor.” Or whatever! I really wanted to know more! It was like they said things but never explained them!
I rewatched Season 1 recently too. I actually think it’s one of the tightest seasons (other than 3). It leans hard into the campiness and doesn’t shy from the tropes of the genres it’s combining (teen drama, whodunnit mystery, monster horror). It’s actually a decent example of each of those as a result. But I think that’s where the forgettableness comes from. It still made something unique, but it didn’t feel quite so “Teen Wolf” as the other seasons.
One of my least favorite things about season 6 is that making Stiles be gone was their excuse for Dylan O'Brien being able to leave - but the half of the season he's "gone", he's still always on screen!!! And then when he's back and all is good is when he goes away?????? What the hell is that logic??
i'm halfway convinced that scott's dad is only there so that melissa could tell scott that she kept his name after the divorce because it was scott's, too. that was such a beautiful little scene. honesly, mama mccall and papa stiles might be some of the best TV parents
I’m still upset Melissa McCall and Noah Stilinski never became a couple. They had such great chemistry. I shipped them so hard. Like imagine them getting married and stiles and Scott being BROTHERS 🥺
You nailed it. Absolutely agree with you 99%. If Stiles isn't in the movie, I'm not even going to bother. However, I'd also like to add that while Teen Wolf had pretty good characters as you mentioned, most of them had a lot of wasted potential we'll never get to see. 3B IS GOLD.
and sadly he isn’t
I totally agree with you on the Styles/Lydia ship. It's emotionally neglectful and manipulative on Lydia's part. I never saw the appeal of it, Styles was such a genuinely good character that deserved so much better. I wasn't a fan of Malia, but I was glad when they at least introduced a love interest for Styles that actually appreciated him.
Even though I was always a big fan of the Stiles/Lydia ship, I totally understand why people would dislike it. However I DO NOT UNDERSTAND how people can like the Stiles/Malia ship. Malia, although she LOOKS like a teen, is literally a child on the inside. Shipping her with anyone from the gang (Scott included) just seems so weird and wrong to me...
The fact that FSN literally said "Everyone dead comes back to life except Allison" and explicitly "I hope they do right by Arden Cho with the movie" and both those statements went horribly in the opposite direction makes me wonder if JD watched this video and felt spiteful or if the universe just wanted to torture this man.
As a Latine/Hispanic guy, Tyler Posey being the lead character of a fantasy series and played as the "all-american jock" meant a lot to me.

@@michellequiroz5496 It means that you don't know anything of Spanish grammar. Almost every word that ends in 'o' like Latino, todos, chicos and more can are both masculine and neutral, it just depends in the context that is being used. When you are talking about a group of people with both genders then you use Latino, todos, chicos, etc. And you are also talking about only a group of boys you also use Latino, todos, chicos, etc. That gender that ends in 'e' is not accepted by the official grammar and dictionary book "La RAE". This is why people need to learn the genders of the words because the language is already created and it works a certain way for a reason.

The memory thing with the claws was actually introduced in season 1. Kate didn’t die, she was transforming at a slow rate due to the transformation being done by claws, everyone just assumed she was dead even though we never officially saw the body in season 2. Gerard also didn’t die (nobody ever said he was dead either) he was just poisoned and left at a nursing home I think. Theo was sent to a type of hell, he didn’t die. It was more imprisonment than death which is why they were able to bring him back with the sword. Also there were characters that stayed dead, Erica, Boyd, Tracy, Jennifer, josh, Aiden, the orphans, Allison etc.
I can never get enough of people praising 3B. That thing blew my mind back then, I was watching the show more like a guilty pleasure, it was kinda on crack and I loved it...and then 3B rolled in and I was like, WHAT?! WTF is this epicness doing in my werewolf crack show?! Just watching the bits you added in makes me want to rewatch it right now and it's 2AM and I can't-
In the same spirit, I can also never get enough of people shitting on 6B :D
6B was terrible though especially considering the villain was way too overly powerful despite being a human, and what's worse they let her get away at the end of the season, heck they killed off Gerald one of if not the most dangerous characters in the entire series, but this nobody gets away?
@@grafixxrecords2188 isnt the 6b villain the anuk-ite? which isn’t human?
@@caitlinmartin7614 that was the main obstacle of the season but hardly a main villain, it was that teacher woman, she's so forgettable I forgot her name
@@grafixxrecords2188are you talking about the hunter woman that was a counselor at the highschool? if so LMAOOOO RIGHT i don't even remember her name either i really didn't care for her character at all in the slightest she actually irritated me
@@caitlinmartin7614 same here, and whats worse they allowed her to survive, Scott and his pack have taken on way more powerful and experienced villains and they want to tell me they get outwited by a guidance counselor who became a hunter out of coincidence? That's why I hate the whole concept of Scott not killing that's what makes him look so weak, imagine if he did kill a lot more villains would've feared him
21:43 The photographer kid wasn't just bullied, he damn-near downed after being thrown into a swimming pool by a bunch of drunken jocks at a party. He was of course rescued by the coach, only to be scolded by said coach for not knowing how to swim.
The reason I believe his motive was more complex was because the coach demanded he keep his mouth shut about what happened that night and what everyone had been doing at that party and it haunted him for the rest of his life.
Case-in-point, I actually found the photographer to be the most interesting villain in the 2nd season.
I found Matt's motivations to be understandable. I mean, the guy was major league cuckoo bird, but it wasn't unwarranted.
Absolutely agree with everything stated here, and honestly hearing him alk about seasons other than 3a-b i wonder if he fell asleep at some point. Photographer kid was way more interesting than angry grandpa
It wasn't that Lydia could "reach across supernatural barriers" and realize they were missing someone. Scott and malia feel it too. Lydia is just the only one that doesn't doubt herself, which is in line with her character. She became more confident in her powers by season 3b and there were multiple times she told other characters that she knew she was right when they doubted her. Like in season 6b, she knew that there was a body missing from the primal pack but Scott and Malia didn't believe it at first. And in season 5a or 5b, she tells Parrish something and he doubts it. And she says trust me, I'm a harbinger of death.
“this is isaac by the way he does not matter” NO HE DOES I LOVE ISSAC SO MUCH
The one thing I will say about Isaac is that while he wasn't an amazing character, I was really liking the arc between him and Allison's dad. Chris Argent literally swaps alliances, even though he loses his whole family in the process, while Isaac's dad dies and he's essentially orphaned in the middle of his transition to being a werewolf. They spend all this time together in season 3, and there was a wonderful potential for them to be such an unlikely but amazing father-son type duo, and then we just...didn't see Daniel Sharman again. I was pretty disappointed.
i agree completely i was heartbroken when chris came back in season 4, alone. like damnnnn i really wanted to hear about their trip to europe
this!!
I love Isaac.. and mr argent and their relationship 😆 also heartbroken
I love Isaac, he is a good guy. I feel like everyone adopts him and he's so grateful
I will never get tired of listening to people talk about how hard 3b slapped. I rewatched it this year, (just that season nothing else) and it still held up so fucking well it’s insane. Experiencing that season week to week when it was airing is a high I will be chasing for the rest of my life.
watching it live yelling when Stiles became void Stiles. SHOCKED TO MY CORE. I used to sit on the phone watching with my friend and I think we both screamed it was insane. And the entire time I was like no don't fuck with Stiles, but after I was just like wow what a gift and how fucking talented is Dylan O'Brien. And then ofc my dramatic ass was mourning Allison's death 😭😂
yo, i remember getting my friends into teen wolf, and when season 3 was airing we would have watch parties at my house every week. it was such a fun time, and i'll never be able to replicate that euphoria of seeing the plot unfold and dylan o'brien becoming a badass. there were many moments where we just straight up were yelling at the TV because of how awesome it was. good times.
Never watched the show before but I feel like the writers probably knew their show was batshit and just ran with it to make it as corny as possible while also playing it seriously, this feels like a genuine heartfelt attempt at supernatural teen shows which is way more than we can say in the year of our lord 2023
I would take Teen Wolf over Gossip Girl 2021 any year
this show is pure cheesy supernatural teen drama camp and it knows it - but it also has genuinely endearing characters that you care about and you care about their relationships and bonds and what they go through. you actually have an emotional connection to nearly all of the main characters, at least i did. it incorporates different mythologies into the show in such a cool and fascinating way - i def have gone down the rabbit hole a few ttimes researching stuff about kitsunes and japanese mythology bc of kira's inclusion in the show. anyway, i genuinely believe 3b is one of the best pieces of television since buffy the vampire slayer, imo. the acting, the story, the villain, the writing, the characters, everything about is just chef's kiss
Hey! Stiles didn't do nothing in 3A, okay. He grew hair. That's very important. Took him 2 seasons. We should all be proud of him.
I loved the show way back when. As dumb as it was, it was so hooking. Young Dylan O'brien, emotionally realistic parent relationships, sterek gay bating, wanting to actually know what will happen, the cheesy werewolf alpha lore... For an addicting teen series, the first four seasons were perfect.
yeah I watched this and supernatural. was hooked on the supernaturaö theme then.
1:18:11 when derek punched stiles, peters actor laughed in the background, he actually couldnt hold it in because how funny it was. his laugh wasnt scripted
Loved this video and was genuinely surprised that you enjoyed it. The only thing I'd say was missing is imo the relationship between the parents and their kids. It was so great in comparison to so many other teen dramas. Even some of the teachers like coach and his relationship with the kids was so wholesome and funny.

Hoechlin's character was totally underutilized. they could have focused more on him, as a born wolf, and Scott interacting. him more as a mentor, giving us more werewolf mythos and even just how to function more around humans (mundane stuff) and how a pack works together. but Davis wanted him as a foil to Scott and he just went so far in the other direction, that Derek literally appeared to fail at being a wolf more than the bitten wolf.
agree with Allison, she just went from sweet to kill happy way too fast. Lydia and Stiles had chemistry but them ending up together was such fanservice.
i'm still in awe how much Hoechlin could inject into Derek's character while getting very little to work with. Derek had so much potential! it is such a shame he didn't get better storylines. He is by far my favourite character and pretty much all of that is thanks to Hoechlin. (and only some of it is thanks to his pretty face lol)
The writers did a piss poor job writing Derek but Tyler is a very good actor so you just end up liking Derek. He is actually Superman in the show Superman and Lois now hahaha. he's a really good actor! We really didn't get to see that in Teen Wolf lmao
Lydia and stiles had no chemistry
yeah i could never like allison that much because the writing for her was meh. derek deserved more he alongside stiles, lydia, and kira were the most interesting of the series
I think there's good buildup though. Small things between Lydia and Scott and a lot of innocent physical affection like holding her while they hide from the death doctors, holding her after he saves her leg from that animal trap. It's just cute I love them together
The lack of Respect for Coach and Stiles interactions is crossing the line.
Teenwolf doesn’t have to be good (even though it is a lot of the time), it just has to be enjoyable and emotional, and it is! ❤
Okay, so the thing with Lydia and Stiles, as someone who loved them as a couple while watching the show but then totally lost interest, is this: They had all the set up for an amazing couple. The chemistry was there, some nice moments, and the history was all ready. But they ruined it.
At the beginning, it's just that Stiles has a superficial crush on her, and Lydia completely ignores him. Not great. But then they get closer because of their respective best friends dating, and actually have a few sweet moments. Slightly better. But then! Seasons 3 to 5 see them form an actual bond - they're friends, they're the smartest people in the group, so they're constantly paired up, and the chemistry between the actors is there, sure, but they're both dating other people, and there's not really any pining, they're just organically getting closer and starting to actually care about each other. Great! Then, the 6A set up is actually pretty good! Stiles being missing and Lydia being the only one to realize he's gone by virtue of her powers is really interesting, and it shows how far their bond has gone, and when they get together, it feels so much more earned and like they really should be together.
A couple of things, though. Immediately after they get together, Stiles leaves the show and them being a couple is never mentioned anymore. What the hell was all of season 6A, not to mention the build up for it beforehand even for, then??????
Also, while mostly their friendship does develop organically, the writers just had to randomly toss in some stupidly "romantic" moments in the middle of it just to keep shippers on the hook - like that really weird first kiss that happens while neither of them is romantically interested in the other, and is never mentioned again, and it happens while Stiles is having a panic attack. Why. I think the writers wanted to show there was still something there with these scenes, but mostly it just comes across as forced and unnecessary.
Finally, while I do like that they took the time to be friends and then get together when they actually cared about each other - it was so much time. 3 full seasons passed with only those random romantic crumbs, and then in season 6 it's just fully intense, full steam ahead, like they've been in love all of this time. It's like the writers forgot about them and got to season 6 like "oh, right, it's the last season, and they still haven't gotten together, we meant to do that but got busy with other and stuff and forgot. Whoops." It only would've actually worked if instead of like 1 scene per season where it's much more intense and romantic than any of their other interactions, it was actually set up properly, and they were friends for a while, but do become actually into each other in like, season 4 or 5.
So, yeah - with Stiles and Lydia, all the potential was there, but the writers just thought "heh, people already like them together, we don't have to do any work here, they can just be together at random times and that'll be good enough", and it comes across really weird and incomplete and adding nothing to the show or their characters... It could have been a really interesting arc for both of them, and satisfying for the viewers, but it was just frustrating and had no point. What a waste
