What werewolves should NOT look like.
What werewolves should NOT look like.
I HATE it when movies portray werewolves as savage beasts that only live for the hunt.
And I hate it when said "werewolves" don't eben LOOK like wolves.
A werewolf HAS to have a tail. And digitigrade legs. And none of that stupid giant fangs bullshit.
I'm really tired of movies that show werewolves as either:
-- shaved wolf-men (as in no hair like in Harry Potter)
-- antho wolves with no tail (like in Van Helsing)
-- quadrepedal monkies (think American Werewolf in Paris)
For ONCE... please make werewolves look like this-- http://us-p.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Icew ... lored1.jpg
Without the wings, of course.
Who ever said that werewolves HAD to be mindless monsters bent on killing? Animals don't kill for sport-- only humans do.
For once, I would like to see if the movie industry has the balls to make a new kind of werewolf.

but wouldn't there werewolf be able to kill for fun since it 's part human?
Funny really, one should think that the human would fight the urges of the wolf, when it's the wolf who must fight the urges of Man...haha

.? That is the problem with you mortals, you die too easily. You hardly fight back. A couple of pitiful screams and a little squirming and you are done. I can hardly call it satisfactory."
What's the point? They got their Keanu Reeves now...

Something like that should depend a lot on the personalty of the human. So if a psycho mainiac gets bitten, than sure a bloody rampage through town makes sense. But everyone shouldn't be going:IblisPendragon wrote:but wouldn't there werewolf be able to kill for fun since it 's part human?

First off, welcome to the club, Icewolf. As you've seen by now, you're not alone. Every rant you gave has been meticulously pursued by a number of us. And, again a reminder, this site was originally created by Anthony and Meagan Brownrigg in order to get feedback about what to do or not do with a werewolf movie. Because of our feedback, they've heavily upgraded their plans, transforming what was going to be the B-movie "Devoured" into the bigger production Freeborn. Freeborn will feature werewolves that have tails, look like wolves, and have intelligent motivations. They'll look more like Goldenwolf than Underworld, and the movie will be both story-driven and vivid. I think it will scare a lot of people more than a basic horror film would, because it will look and feel so much more real. Especially to us werewolf fans, since it's based on what we picture in our heads.
That said, more of what we don't want in our werewolf movies:
1. Shapeshifting that involves clothing or jewelry spontaneously appearing or disappearing
2. Eyes that not just reflect light, but contain a bioluminescent red glow properly reserved for deep-sea fish
3. Something turning into a rat, cat, gorilla, or pig but called a werewolf instead of a were-[said animal]
4. Strange powers, other than shapeshifting, that would make one eligible to apply for Professor Charles Xavier's "university"
5. The Amazing Spiderwolfman!
6. A nose that looks like that of a horse, gargoyle, or anything other than the schnoz of a wolf
7. A creature that is entirely off-screen except for one paw
8. Any member of anatomy to resemble a popsickle stick
9. Anything obviously vague between the legs, when something should be visible, to the point of looking more like a mascot than a lycanthrope
10. And, not related to the creature itself, people actively avoiding the word "werewolf," instead referring to the creature as a "Yadiglanchi" and occasionally throwing in "lycanthrope," inflection on the first and third syllable, followed by someone saying only once for the entire movie, "you mean a werewolf? That's crazy!"

We are by far way ahead of ya!
11. Resricted veiwing (as mentioned) whihc would inculd only seeing certian parts and the darkness.
12. Strange transformation. The skin should not bubble and no green goo! Also the little wave of light transformaing them into what ever instantly. No glowing or light etheir.
That is quite something I just dont like. I like a werewolf that shape shifts into a wolf, tah da thats all!4. Strange powers, other than shapeshifting, that would make one eligible to apply for Professor Charles Xavier's "university"
I hate it when they resrict your veiw. You know the sad thing about the Van Helsing thing? It took me untill the final battle to see the werewolf had no tail, and I was still very unsure if it did or not. Becuase of all the darkness.7. A creature that is entirely off-screen except for one paw

I don't mind being showed off to, as long as it's something worth showing off, and as long as it doesn't get in the way of the story.WolvenOne wrote:Well, sometimes if a movie maker gives too good of a view it feels like they're showing off. There's a bit of a balencing act involved here I'm afraid to say.
