oh i didnt like that in underworld, the pushing bullets out of body part, but im saying if you were to make a werewolf movie, and you werent gonna add regenation, little strength enhanced, then your asking for your movie to bombed, unless it has truly rich story that wont let anything down but your werewolf activites will be limited.Velkacis, Figarou, Lupin, your one of the few people that i know who would expect soo much realism from an imaginary creature. people who arent rappid werewolf fans and dont know as much as we do, would probably think the werewolf movie stinks, or the werewolf is lame, it doesnt do anything cool.
edit: yeah i know this is a drama movie which is why i have high hopes, i didnt mention this but before i was referring to a horror movie or an action movie.

Yeah, if there were wizards and dragons and whatnot, than I'd expect to see 9-ft tall werewolves that can run at 100mph, summon wolves, and can regenerate from a fine pink mist.Figarou wrote:I'm with Vuldari. The setting for Freeborn is a drama film. No need to have werewolves with odd powers.
If the film was magical, or sci-fi, then I wouldn't mind a few odd abilities.
But they have regeneration!Heh...I bet they'll have a hard time picking thier nose.

I was just tossing out a list of absurd things that could be fun to watch, as they came to mind. ...you're right....that sounds painful.Figarou wrote:Acid claws?Vuldari wrote:or have deadly acid claws that make anything they touch shrivel up and die...in flames...
Heh...I bet they'll have a hard time picking thier nose.
...I just had to add something bursting into flames or exploding. KABOOM!!!!

Oh good grief!! Regeneration and added strength is normal for a werewolf. What I don't want is the werewolf to shoot its claws like a gun. Or glow in the dark. Have laser beam eyes. That sort of power. sheesh!

The way I see it, if a movie has to rely solely upon the werewolf being cool, then it's probably not worth seeing. The story and immersion should be the most important things -- everything else should support those. The werewolves are just tools.

I have to apologize, then. I was not angry, so I'm sorry if my words seemed so. I know it can be difficult to determine someone's mood via a written medium, so I'm letting you know: nothing you said made me angry in any way. I was just jumping in with my opinion, and I probably did so a bit too forcefully. Sorry about that.Shadow Wulf wrote:um, i meant to velkacis, who she doesnt like the idea of regenaration. didnt mean to make you angry

So, you're saying that if Freeborn does not feature a scene where a Werewolf gets it's arm blown off, and then show it begining to grow back the next day, then all Non-fanatic movie goers will think the movie sucks?Shadow Wulf wrote: but im saying if you were to make a werewolf movie, and you werent gonna add regenation, little strength enhanced, then your asking for your movie to bombed...people who arent rappid werewolf fans and dont know as much as we do, would probably think the werewolf movie stinks, or the werewolf is lame, it doesnt do anything cool.
I think transforming into a wolf, or hybrid wolf beast, becoming stronger and faster, and scaring the heebie jeebies out of people is part of "...anything cool" that werewolves can do.
When I think of a werewolves "regenerative" abilities, I think of large gashes, bite wounds, bullet wounds and severe burns healing faster and better than any human could...but can't help but feel that regrowing entire hands, feet, arms or legs is a bit much. ...half a finger maybe...or the earlobe...or a broken nose healing itself...or the pinky toe...but an entire arm from the shoulder down, complete with a perfectly functional hand?...
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but I draw the line at half a finger.

Hmmmm....makes me wonder if Freeborn is a story about werewolves. Or is it a story with werewolves in it?
Only one person can answer that.

Have you read or seen Charlie Brown? Does he have a mad look on his face when he says "Good Grief?" nope.
As for "sheesh," one is not mad when saying that.
