I think that being able to go both quadruped and biped doesn't require shifting into more than two shapes. The werewolf shape could simply be one that is capable of standing on two legs or running on four. I suppose it would depend a little on whether most of the werewolf effects are going to be peo...

I guess one of the questions would be... how much of the Werewolf ideas would the film's creators wish to take from existing myth, legend, Hollywood, etc.? Is it important to adhere to any one particular myth, or is the idea to create a new one? There's a whole heckuva lot of myths to choose from! I...

My suggestion is that werewolves _not_ be "weaker" than humans. The main reason (in my mind) not to go running around as a werewolf, in a body with "all the strengths and none of the weaknesses" of human and wolf would be that people seeing werewolves would freak out and probably...

I think if changes need to be able to go back and forth, and aren't just one-way, they need to take at least a little while. Days and days seems a bit much, unless they are never transforming back again. Instantaneous just seems silly and sloppy to me. It implies just a bit more "magic as an ex...

I've always kind of thought it was silly that someone became a werewolf by being bitten or "infected". Aesthetically, if a person isn't just _born_ a werewolf, I'm happier with the idea that at least _part_ of what causes them to become one is something from inside them... whether it's a c...

I think that there'd be no problem with having at least a _couple_ transformations that show stuff happening in more detail, but if there's a lot of transformations, not bothering to "zoom in" on each one. I'd think that having one good trans scene would satisfy the "wow! cool!" ...

And yeah... I _do_ like seeing rippage. I think it _is_ dramatic, and can really add something to a scene. : )

If it were entirely up to me, I'd wish for werewolves that didn't necessarily wear clothing, or only did it as an affectation. It sort of seems, to me, that the issue of clothing on werewolves in a movie would have to consider whether it's okay to have nudity in the movie, and what constitutes "...
