Teeth when shifting...something I noticed...
No, this isn't about the teeth themselves. This is about the person's tongue when they shift. Not the color or anything but what would happen to it when those sharp wolf teeth start sliding out from the jaw. If the were kept their mouth closed during a shift the teeth would slice through the tongue as they begin to change. A werewolf would have to keep its mouth open and the tongue out of the way of the teeth. Of course this would lead to it looking like the were was snarling, which might contribute to their bad reputation when really it would be just a misunderstanding on the human's part. Were's don't deserve the bad rap, humans just like jumping to conclusions. I do have a point in there somewhere...

Re: Teeth when shifting...something I noticed...
I guess it depends on what KIND of werewolf you are talking about. Are you talking about a werewolf/lycanthrope, a beastial shapeshifter who preys on humans? Or a shiney happy happy wolf shapeshifter who just wants to be accepted/left alone?Reilune wrote:No, this isn't about the teeth themselves. This is about the person's tongue when they shift.

Sorry, just needed to clarify, because I'm a HUGE fan of snarly, beastial werewolves ;)
Anyway, as for the teeth thing, I think if they just opened their mouths (it would probably be something instinctual to do while transforming) then it wouldn't be an issue. Even still, if they clenched their mouths tight while shifting it still wouldn't harm the tongue. However, it -would- tear the crap out of their gums. But I think growing new teeth like that would do that anyway.

in my opinion alot might have to do with the elongation of the jaw in relation to when the teeth grow..and of course the tongue stretches as well. the order things happen would decide how much damage occurs in the mouth. all this would help to explain why werewolves and such often look like they just ate, as the blood from everything happening drips out.

Now how much blood are we talking about? Where does the blood come from? The teeth themselves or gums? Does the bleeding stop? Does it bleed everytime they shift? Do the fangs protrude from under the gums or are they extended canine/cuspid teeth? Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm thinking it comes from the gums and possibly the lips and tongue..and could be a lot, depends on the creature itself I'd say..it would stop when the mouth healed shortly after the change, but I think it would happen every time the shapeshift happened...much like Wolverine said happend everytime he popped his claws in the first X-men movie. as for the teeth, I'd say the ones already in the mouth change/grow, but there would have to be teeth comming from the jaw to have enough to fill out the muzzle.

Allot of blood? Are you sure? Seems kind of odd. I can see a little bit of blood. But not a gusher.Rodentia wrote:I'm thinking it comes from the gums and possibly the lips and tongue..and could be a lot, depends on the creature itself I'd say..it would stop when the mouth healed shortly after the change, but I think it would happen every time the shapeshift happened...much like Wolverine said happend everytime he popped his claws in the first X-men movie. as for the teeth, I'd say the ones already in the mouth change/grow, but there would have to be teeth comming from the jaw to have enough to fill out the muzzle.
I figured more teeth would pop up when the muzzle forms. I'm guessing molars.

Let me guess. The "tear and rip" kind, right?Goldenwolf wrote:<3 I love you A.

Sure, thats what makes a good werewolf movie. It'll be boring if they all were happy shiny, love freedom, flower picking werewolves. Now who would want to watch that?
I'm not sure what type of "tear and rip" we are going to see. Humans being torn apart or maybe bit in half. Heh, I don't mind seeing it. In fact, thats probably what everyone is expecting if this film is going to be rated R.

I don't think wolves chew their food. They tear off a small piece and swallow. Werewolves can be the same way.
When you eat something quickly as a human its "wolfing it down."

At the moment, I'm prepping for another night at the screenplay with Silver, and Ed. We're really working out reasons for violence, and violent characters. I don't want anyone to be 'evil' in this thing. No one is evil for the sake of being evil. EVERYONE believes that what they are doing is justified in some way, be it greed, envy, money, the like.
Even Hitler did not believe he was evil.. He thought he was doing the right thing. Now he WAS evil IMHO, but you get my point.
I will have no snidely whiplash characters in this film. No werewolves rubbing their paws together just to F*** with someone for no reason.
It is my sincerest hope that if someone delves enough into the storyline, and they find out the reasons, and the justifications by the charcters for the evil acts they commit, then THAT will frighten them even more.
Especially when the audience begins to see how they themselves could see things from that point of view. Its not just a physical ride, its big emotion... I'm avoiding philosophy however, keeping things to the physical and emotional. I think its just becoming too much for this story.

Where blood is concerned for the average werewolf I would think it'd be the equivalent of someone biting their tongue several times, enough blood to see and taste but not enough to even really drip.
Canines chew with the sides of their mouths. They can't really chew like humans can, but they use their teeth to snip off small chunks of food which they then swallow. My mother complains when I use the side of my mouth to bite off a piece of steak instead of cutting it up into strips and eating it like a "normal" person. She also says I eat too fast. I think I've been hanging around my dogs too long.

I think thats just because frankly, its a bit on the boring side to watch something eating.Rodentia wrote:good point about the way they eat..has anyone noticed that you rarely see werewolves eat in films..occasionally they'll tear off a chunk and seem to chew it or flip it up in the air and catch/swallow, but for the most part they take down their prey and move on.

Heh, It would not be boring to see a human getting eaten.
I would think that the gums would be bleeding, teeth are growing longer and pointer. Also as the muzzle forms, I would think more fangs would burst out of the gums. Owwie (we need a werewolf emoticon in pain )
I'm glad that all the werewolves will not be evil, mindless creatures. I'm also glad that all werewolves wont be peace-loving hippies

I don't think there would be any bleeding, the teeth are merely changing not being replaced and the gums would alter along with them.
Wolves do nip and slice with their canines, then use their neck muscles to pull and rip a piece loose then swallow it whole. No chewing motion takes place, they do a repetitive biting motion when cracking or breaking bones though.
