Despite it not being very well-written, I do enjoy the Selene/Michael romance because it's basically a gender-swapped version of the "innocent human woman falls for dangerous supernatural man" cliche you see in a lot of paranormal romance.

Underworld (2003)

@kreacionista I used to be a Teen Wolf fan — yes, capital F fan. And I’ll even admit that, to this day, I still indulge in the occasional well-written fic, because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. I adored the first two seasons, and the whole Nogitsune storyline was actually brilliant… even though that Stiles/Malia scene had me dry-heaving into the nearest trash can. But after that? Oh boy. Straight off a cliff.

First off, the endless “tell, don’t show” routine. Scott was sold to us as this messianic alpha wolf who’d save the day, the world, the universe, probably the local dog park too… except he never did. He stayed the exact same bland, flat, self-righteous character from start to finish, with the moral compass of a middle-schooler and a bizarre ability to take credit for things other characters actually achieved.

And Derek Hale. Ugh, Derek. Reduced to a decorative torso with a tragic backstory, a slab of beef. The constant retcons shredded whatever worldbuilding the show had left, and the forced ships cheapened every single character they touched. As for the “movie”? Please. That’s fanfiction with a budget, and in my personal canon it does not exist.

And yes — because I know you’re curious — my favorite character has always been Uncle Peter. Obviously. And I ship Isaac with Jackson, but don't ask the reason 🤣

Now, I’ve always thought the whole “True Alpha” thing was one giant scam. My theory? There is no such thing as a True Alpha. When Derek stepped down, that Alpha spark didn’t magically manifest in Scott’s soul — it just jumped to the nearest Hale. And technically, Scott was bitten by Peter, which makes him, in a sense, a Hale pack wolf anyway. That’s always been my take.

And right up until the very end, I was dying for Deaton the vet to turn out to be the real villain — the puppet-master quietly steering the chaos. In my head, he’d been manipulating everything from the start: getting rid of the Hales, clearing the board, and installing a young, naïve Alpha he could play like a chess piece. And honestly, if you look back, there are breadcrumbs all over the seasons hinting that every “worst possible outcome” happened because Deaton was nudging them straight into it.

About Underworld. It's this endlessly milked saga — five movies deep and counting — starring Kate Beckinsale doing slow-motion flips in black leather while looking perpetually annoyed (but I like them, I swear!)

The pitch? A war between vampires and werevolves. But we call them “Lycans", because they’re supposed to be a different breed of werewolf. So you know, werewolves but make it fancy.

The first three? Genuinely good. And we are talking about Underworld, Underworld: Evolution, and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans — a prequel nobody asked for but we all ended up enjoying anyway.

The characters were actually written with care, especially Lucian. Michael Sheen made him a full-on powerhouse: charismatic, magnetic, and even though he’s not tall, he commands every frame like it owes him rent.

Then the studio got greedy. They kept making movies without the actor playing Michael, the original hybrid — and the whole thing nose-dived. They tried to shove in another generic handsome dude, but the soul of Underworld was Michael. Take him out and what’s left? A moody leather fashion show with fangs.
