Eli Inherited Stiles' Lacrosse Skills Coach: So which one's your Kid? Derek: *Pointing at Eli* That One. *Eli Fumbling with Lacrosse Sticks* Coach: *Stiles induced Flashbacks* Stilinski!? Eli: Yeah Coach?

Stilinski I think we both know you need to retire. Peter’s crawling scene is what made me cringe the most. Jeff must really love cringe. Jackson is a whole fucking mood. And I love how he was giving Lydia the inspiration to use her scream again. Real friendship right there. Allison… Allison… Allison. I AM SO HAPPY THAT SHE IS ALIVE. I love her character so much. And with her having another villain era is the best. Liam deserved more screen time. Every single scene he is in, Hikari is by his side. I get that, that’s his girlfriend but GOD, y’all can separate for about 5 minutes. Mason deserved more screen time too. He was like in the movie for 8 minutes total. And Jeff knows that Liam and Mason are best friends, so why not give them a scene together. They literally had one conversation with each other and that’s it. Hikari, I FUCKING LOVE YOU. She is like Kira but with her Kitsune powers controlled. I don’t even think she known the pack for long and she is already risking her life for them JUST LIKE KIRA DID. Hikari will never be a Kira replacement too me. If Arden Cho would have gotten a good offer, and said yes. A Kira & Hikari duo would be the fucking best. EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT STILES, THEY PUT INTO ELI. I don’t ship Sterek at all, but come on Jeff, you know good and goddamn well what you was doing. Victoria coming back was so good. SHE IS STILL SCARY THOUGH. Deputy Ishida should have more of a storyline. And why is that ever single Japanese, Asian, and/or Korean person always come up to be a Kitsune. Except for Ken, he was just human but why couldn’t Jeff make them other supernatural creatures besides that one. The McCall Pack will be helpless without Alan Deaton. If they need help and they can’t go to Melissa, Deaton will always be their first and/or second option AND NOTHING CAN CHANGE MY MIND. Coach Finstock, is still crazy and funny. But it feels like he actually followed his lines instead of improvising them. Jacob, I thought he was a new love interest for Mason but I was wrong. He was just another extra with lines being a sitting duck waiting to get killed. Mr. Harris, I am so sick of him. He should have stayed dead and they should have used Alec. If Alec would have been the guy in the all black clothes, his motive probably would have been Scott leaving him. I saved the best for last. Derek Hale. It’s going to be hard watching the show knowing that he is going to be dead later on in the years. You will always be in remembrance and will never be forgotten.

Part 1

spoiler alert: I won't be writing fix it fics. because I don't need to ;)

More seriously this is full of spoilers from live-reacting to the movie, beware.

That opening in Japan was so cool? Like I was into it. Loved the suspicious silver bullet too, just saying...

Animal Shelter owner Scott is confirmed AND single by thirty I wrote the movie before the movie (just kidding, the fic I'm thinking of has a different premise but I'll rec it because self-promo is hot : The Cure with Sterek endgame too!). Also Scott got a buzzcut like his buddy Stiles!

"We call him the Alpha" just no, it doesn't sound as cool as you think it does, it's so corny.

I love how they re-enacted the interactions at the clinic for Scott and Allison, it's sweet. JR Bourne my love, I could feel your distress, but I have to say the bardo concept thing sounds weird (like, phonetically).

Lydia's reintroduction scene was glorious and how beautiful can this woman be??? She ages like fine wine.

Baby Hale in da place, such a fun scene! I mean what did Derek expect, keeping the Jeep at Hale Auto... Daddy Hale is a good look on him and suggesting they call Stiles... they're married, called it.

No seriously they keep mentioning Stiles and somehow don't even show flashback of him? Would love to be the tiny mouse in the copyright talk for this movie haha.

Malia and Parrish are a thing??? Where did that come from? I like that they lean into her non-commital communication styles and I did connect with their relationship (or lack thereof) immediately, especially when it becomes awkward with Scott later on (#thecure by the way).

I did suspect Chris has something to do with the release of the Nogitsune, that was badass.

Eli is such a Stiles rip off it's almost annoying, I like his back story with Derek's beta-shift more.

Allison is hot too wow, damn ladies. Melissa ROCKS obviously and Finstock still got it.

The partial memory recovery twist for Allison to turn her evil is the oldest trick in the book but I like the way they pulled it off. She's off hunting Derek and they're hopeless, some things never change.

Jackson is a delight and he's still with Ethan 15 years later, LGBTQ+ for the win. I am here for it.

Eli and Derek parallels with Sterek again, here goes the whump for Derek...

Sheriff Stilinski has the one and only braincell in this movie.

Peter is here baby, and I loved his entrance. I say: Melissa, Peter and Chris OT3.

"Go get her" no Melissa, no. Not the right line, not the right time.

I kind of feel bad for Scott's girlfriends (Kira, Malia) who came after Allison like what about his feelings for them??? I understand Allison was his first love and holds a special place in his heart but the others feel really swept under the rug.

Alpha roar check. It felt like a to do list at first but considering Eli's back story I kind of like it as a trigger for his own beta-shift.

For a moment I wondered between Kate and Harris summoning the Nogitsune but I'm kinda glad it wasn't Kate. Idk it feels more insidious with Harris.

Also I do like how the other Kitsunes are all brand new and not rip offs, it's more interesting, and I was interested in Liam for once haha, cuties the two of them.

Derek has better things to do than saving the world, he's too busy parenting... oh well, that was wistful thinking.

Finstock is so proud to say Greenberg and honestly so am I. I wish it was only Eli on the field though, Scott playing makes no sense and doesn't serve any purpose.

Did I just see Tyler Posey's ass when he scrambles up in the Nogitsune's illusion world??? I wonder if it was on purpose... also they messed up with his shirt it went from bloody to clean just to make the next blood loss more obvious...

I did like his attemps to reason with Allison and her big ass smile when he tells her he's still in love with her, but isn't it "burning the exact/same blend of wolfsbane powder into the wound to heal it" rather than just "burning it out"???

Peter going down on the ground to sniff blood that is right in front of him... you were a better werewolf than that before Peter... but banging Allison's head on the railing then Chris switching side makes up for it.

The aesthetics for the illusion in the colored rooms was GREAT and Lydia kinda broke my heart, but I'm glad we had this scene (also Jackson. you have a tail. with venom. use it???).

I will not adress Derek's untimely demise because why would he abandon his son, like Peter could have taken his place to hold the Nogitsune down? (also that twist with the werewolf bite was nice, I liked it, it made sense). plus Allison came back from the dead so he will too. In my fics. It's not a fix it it's canon compliant ;).

Why the fuck are they kissing when Derek just disappeared into thin air seriously. Poor Eli, really get someone else to take custody of you than Scott.

I feel for the Sheriff, seeing Eli like that must remind him of Stiles when they lost Claudia...

The little nudge at the end with Eichen House and there always be new teenage werewolves was so on the nose I loved it.

conclusion: I found it extremely fun, well paced with good aesthetics.

Made me want to watch the series (which I've been pushing off for fear of being disapppointed) actually.

So yeah unpopular opinion, but I had such a great time watching Teen Wolf The Movie I wish it was in theaters because it would have been great on the big screen!
