First and foremost, like everyone already said, they need to have gender-specific 'equipment,' though it wouldn't necessarily need to be highlighted that much. You wouldn't actually need to see anything below the belt to distinguish gender though, assuming that female werewolves are more slender in ...

Do we really need to kill werewolves? They're too cute to kill. Of course we don't. All of us here love them for what they are, but don't forget, some people are xenophobic, stupid, misguided and/or want to eradicate anything that doesn't fully agree with whatever the hell their preaching.

I think the idea we have going is that a werewolf would be able to change from human to wolf and vice versa through a conscious effort, which stress and anger could trigger at an undesired moment because when people are angry, they tend to wish for things they don't actually want. We've seen that m...

Even if they didn't have pack mentality, it would be natural for anyone with lycanthropy to seek out other other lycans. A werewolf might start off as a lone wolf, but this would be a lonely lifestyle, so if given the chance, he would seek initiation into a pack or congregate with a few other local ...

That sort of effect itself might have been overdone over time, but if used differently it could be equally as effective. As I suggested in the 'Human Form' thread, a werewolf's greatest concern would be keeping his status as a lycanthrope a secret. There could therefore be some scenes where the risk...

It might variate from werewolf to werewolf, but I imagine any werewolf that anticipates a shift would go to some lengths to maintain a sense of decency (Phil Donahue and his flunkies will likely throw enough crap at this flick by default). An inexperienced werewolf might neglect to wear proper cloth...

For their human form, the hightened senses of a werewolf could be a bad thing. He might be able to hear and smell better as a human (either through naturally heightened senses, or because he just noticed a lot more as a werewolf and has become adapted to relying on his senses more), but heightened o...

A werewolf should be subject to the same mental strains we are.

Realisitcally, I'd say that a werewolf wouldn't be able to talk due to their floppy tongue and extended muzzle, but with some practice and patience, they could probably manage to slur some words together. Learning to talk that way would be a really long process though, as every time they shift back ...

Realistically, it doesn't have to be a silver bullet. Back when it was said that only a silver bullet could kill a werewolf, the most advanced firearms they had available were cannon balls.

Lycanthropy being infectuous would be the easiest to tie into a plot, and could also produce the most interesting results.

In the Shaggy/Normal/No fur poll, I suggested the idea that a werewolf's fur would vary based on his/her personality -- a lazy and/or anti-social werewolf would let it grow out while a self-conscious pack leader would try to keep himself well groomed.

Actually, CGI doesn't have to be that expensive. The CGI-animated movie Kaze: Ghost Warrior budgeted for around $5,000. It's really less of a question of price and more of a matter of effort. Of course, there's nothing to say the movie couldn't implement both CGI and prostetics (CGI for action seque...
