Teen Wolf
When the series aired in 2011, the television world was completely different from what it is today. It was a very successful show that displayed high levels of self-awareness throughout its run of 100 episodes. The series ‘Teen Wolf’ spawned a sequel; however, the wait for a movie has taken quite a while. Unfortunately, there is no word on when a movie will be released.
Until then, fans will have to be content with the many spin-off series available that expand on the main story. The movie has received incredible reviews and is an ideal send-off for the beloved series. With fascinating new story arcs, wonderful character acting, and exhilarating action The movie is a walking monument that beautifully encapsulates everything that made the original series so lovable.
Moving on without wasting any more time let me take the bull by the horns and address the most obvious issue: Teen Wolf: The Movie has three significant absences when it comes to its returning characters. One of the show’s most loved characters, Dylan O’Brien’s Stiles Stilinski is nowhere to be found or heard, although his name comes up quite a lot.
Theo played by Cody Christian and Kira played by Arden Cho are missing completely and they are said to be absent due to scheduling issues and salary problems respectively. There is also no reference to the newest addition of McCall Pack, Alec (Benjamin Wadsworth) whom we met at the end of the series. One can’t help but feel the loss of any of them, but Stiles in particular is quite a loss. Stiles, Scott’s best friend and rebellious son of Sheriff Stilinski, was one of the more active characters especially in the later years of the show.
While I won’t be so dismissive as to say their absences didn’t hurt, Teen Wolf: The Movie brings together almost every other key character that featured in first 6 seasons of the show, if nearly all of them did not, in fact, appear. The best part is that these characters are given satisfying arcs, are faithful to their characterization from before the time skip, and all of them are crucial to the endgame.
It has been fifteen long years in-universe since the third season when Allison Argent (Crystal Reed) died tragically in the arms of her true love Scott McCall (Tyler Posey). Now, Scott and his pack of chosen family have stood against Benefactors, Werejaguars, Dread Doctors, Desert Wolves, Ghost Riders, the terrifying Anuk-Ite and many other formidable foes.
Today brings yet another perilous predicament. Or wait, to be more precise, a very familiar threat emerges once again, only in a slightly different environment. Somehow a stranger wearing a hoodie appears from nowhere and attacks Liam and his latest mentionable love interest, Hikari. Once more, both the lovers and the nameless shadowy figure walk away with their own thirst.
There is a Great love some some of the Jason as episode nod directly to the absence of this awful headed third season Now the, the backstory, and its creators probably knew this very well, The most ball out Who hole Yeah, the thrall known as the newly That Cough, the slave thing, who’s returning Most symbols associated with. His confinement was appropriately crafted installed inside a jar sealed with Nemeton The ancient wood.
But at the same time when the audience sheds the hate towards him and expresses their sympathy instead. It appears that there are 2 people who used to be massively famous ‘The Nisie’ Jeez And fans bear in mind this may possibly allude to others were potentially witnessed these Loras Tyler bald people also carry the same vision. As this instance, Scott (who is freaking out at the thought of Allison having been lost) moves on decided trusty allies.
The writers of this series didn’t need sound savage; made the saw emo comics people. Scott goes off the rails decides to overcome his overwhelming urges and rely on his nearby closest comrades. As the surviving Aaron and his own and of course penetrated occult followers’ wrath stood well in for prlawdrum’s asthma. So last week Allison was doing what you’re not supposed to do to ritualistic purposes break.
Rather, Scott has no other option but to employ the assistance of his new and old as well friends in defeating the single most formidable foe that they have ever had to confront.
Having left a few years after the closing of the Teen Wolf series, it almost comes as no surprise for the audience to see the newest evolutions of the characters within the series. Scott now operates an animal rescue center that is based next to the clinic of Dr. Alan Deaton, and it looks like such establishments still address Scott as “The Alpha”. Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) on the other hand, is struggling with parenting a highly active and hyper 15-year-old son Eli (Vince Mattis) who seems to deny any affiliation with the Hale empire or even the wolf side in him.
Jackson (Colton Haynes) may have relocated to be with his boyfriend Ethan (Charlie Carver, another character certainly mentioned but never seen), yet he has not really changed from the arrogant jock who dares show his face in high school to come to Lydia’s aid. Mason (Khylin Rhambo), who was a familiar face at Beacon Hills Lacrosse and Liam’s clique member is now a police officer working with Hellhound Deputy Parish (Ryan Kelley) and Sheriff Stilinski (Linden Ashby).
Malia (Shelley Hennig) appears to be as unfiltered and straightforward as before and is currently dating Parish. There is a considerable amount of logistics to put in place and it therefore does not come as a shock that the movie itself is nearly two and a half hour long.
At the very start of Teen Wolf: The Movie, one cannot help but feel the same energy that we parted ways from a long time ago. A remix of the themes from the series in a montage of highlights depicts the ten opening moments of the movie. Tonally, Davis never seems to shy away from the wacky fun, such as when a lopsided lacrosse tournament acts a crucial component of the third act. One of the most touching emotional arcs, season 6A, was focused on memories and the acceptance of their significance; the whole Allison narrative seems to be a perfect fulfillment of that idea.
Still even if her character is gone, thanks to Reed moving on to other projects, there always seemed to be a resolution that was lacking in this pivotal relationship. As such, Reed’s participation appears fully circular and integrative to the ongoing narrative I believe Scott and Allison as a couple were meant to be, and Davis appears to wholly comprehend what makes them work. This makes sense, because looking back at their love several years later hammers home just how significant and unique it was within the context of the show. Another important pair of characters are Derek and his son Eli, who gets along well with Scott as well.
Eli, whether he wants to or not, must come to terms with his wolf sides and Scott’s worshiping is only lovely. It’s rather endearing that Posey and Hoechlin also serve as producers of the film.
Teen Wolf haters or those not familiar with the franchise may as well not bother applying. Written by the show’s creator Jeff Davis himself, Teen Wolf: The Movie has so many callbacks to the series with it’s so as lots of established lore. If this isn’t enough to harken one back to those 2010s vibes of the MTV channel, the returning cast will ensure that the fans of the franchise get what they signed up for.
I have had my passion for the franchise reignited. It is possible that the reception of this film will evoke a sort of enthusiasm that should be chased, particularly with respect to the brilliant climax that gives a seamless entry to next stories in series. Although not connected, I can’t help being impatient to see what Jeff Davis does in Wolf Pack, his next werewolf movie. I’d be grateful for the mad ride that the entire experience has been for many years if indeed Teen Wolf: The Movie becomes the last time we ever see such a unique cast again.
In anticipation of the Paramount release of Teen Wolf: The Movie, which premieres on Thursday, January 26th, let out a banshee screech in the amazing throwback to Beacon Hills.
