Re: When the special effects just aren't very good

Stop Motion vs CGI. CGI can look realistic, but usually not looking like it belongs in a physical real universe (too perfect) not enough texture, ect.. Stop Motion can look like something that physically exists, but not in the same universe as the rest of the scene. Lightings off, or someother give-...

Re: dogs/detection

Yeah I remember this from before, it was something about how in several werewolf movies they make a big deal about dogs barking at werewolves when in human form. but dogs bark at everything, my neighbor's dogs will bark at me when I'm inside my house (I have windows running parallel to thier yard wh...

In human form, they have greatly increased abilities, so they could at least defend themselves or escape from any animal. In the wolf form, while they may not be a match in size, they do have human intelligence which will also allow them to defend/escape. In werewolf form, they could take down any ...

The idea of a "best" race or heirarchy is what I feel ruins alot of these mixed monsters versions. Different monsters would work out best in different locations and situations. a werewolf in the woods may be near the top of the food chain, but stick in the demon world and it drops near the...

Okay yes, this another how strong should a werewolf be type of thread. But rather than using comic book comparisons such as :should they be able to punch super-man, or how big a car should they be able to lift? I would like to move this topic into real world physics.

I never understood the hair palm thing in the folklore. while wolves have fur between their "fingers" for warmth the equivalent area to the palm has pads. Now that would be a weird trait if it remained in human form, to have pads on one's hands. try explaining those (uh really thick black ...

Ugly, plain, & good looking werewolves (psyche reflectio

In movie and such I have noticed that when a werewolf is good it tends to look better. if its evil its ugly, and if its simply a curse tormented soul it tends to be inbetween. Would this be a reflection of the cursed own mind, the strain having that effect on the person. or just rejet this concept c...
