‼️SPOILER WARNING AHEAD FOR THE MOVIE "SWAPPED"‼️
Ok so the Firewolf is great I love him sm... butt... HE HAD SO MUCH MISSED OPPORTUNITY LIKE WHAT-
The whole point of the Firewolf is what being ostracized, abandoned by ur community, and just generally loneliness can do to someone. The themes that Swapped is praising throughout the whole movie is literally inclusivity, community, and empathy! While Firewolf was trapped as Boogle, right as they're heading to the Scary Rock Waterfall he literally gives this heartfelt speech to Ivy and Ollie about how lonely he's been all these years and loneliness does to someone, it takes them to dark places.
THAT COULD'VE BEEN UUUSED BUT WASN'T???
When he reveals himself as the Firewolf, the complete 180° in his character makes sense it's obvious the Boogle personality was all an act.
Like I'm sorry but u would've thought that w the self awareness he presented as the Boogle(yes yes I understand it was all an act but still) he would've had some second thoughts/hesitance about his tirade. Or just some general internal struggle about it when Ollie(mainly Ollie) and Ivy try to reason w him. His character seems so flat because of that and sm more could've been utilized w his character, ie the message of *EMPATHY*! Like yes he's genuinely super evil and super cruel I love that I don't want that taken away or to change at all, but evil and cruel w a bit of consciousness would be great.
Ivy, but mainly Ollie's whole character growth throughout the movie was gaining understanding and empathy towards one another and even other creatures, so I don't see why they could've taken it a step further and done that w the Firewolf. I understand that yeah burning down most of the valley and murdering creatures along the way is way way WAY different in an obviously polarizing way.
I would've, and ik other people would agree w me when I say; EATEN UP a flashback of the Firewolf getting abandoned!!
But y'all see my vision? Firewolf's character could've been a lot more dimensional if he had hesitance later on during his destruction, actually had a second thought about what he was doing, and was given the chance to redeem himself and be part of a community. It just would've been REALLY interesting if he was given the chance to better himself at the end but denied it and still died.
Anyway that's my rant on the Firewolf, he's actually my fav character in the movie and I love the movie overall the writing has 1,000% improved compared to Skydance's past movies I feel... maybe a full-on review sometime in the near future 👀?
