Mason Hewitt. A deputy?? Are we talking about the same Mason Hewitt? I mean, I'm talking about the physics genius, the brains behind the puppy pack, the one responsible for that one ghost rider's capture, the boy who did extra credit but just ended up tutoring everyone else, the fucking mythology king that saved lives at 16, the high schooler with a 4.8 GPA... that Mason. I don't know who Jeff Davis made a deputy but it sure as hell is NOT Mason.
If this is just to fill the Stiles gap in the show I will riot, because Mason is SO much more than the Stiles to Liam's Scott.
On a side note, I actually adore the rest of the film - Allison coming back wasnt expected at all, and the new characters seem to be quite fitting as well. However, I think its important to note that an actress of color, Arden Cho, was denied equal pay, so she wont be seen in this movie. This is even more appalling when you realise that the whole Nogitsune storyline revolves around her, a Kitsune, as its foe. She was meant to be a main character, but still would not be paid the same as her predominantly white and male co-stars.
I adore Lydia as a character, but Holland's statement on this was just plain wrong and insensitive.
