teen wolf and ginger snaps
so. i just wanted to point out a few ginger snaps/teen wolf parallels i noticed when watching ginger snaps this last week.
in both cases there is a monstrous werewolf:
in both cases said monstrous werewolf attacks a teenager in the woods:
right after the attack, in ginger snaps, the monstrous werewolf gets hit by a car:
right after the attack, in teen wolf, scott almost gets hit by a car:
brigitte takes a picture of the werewolf:
lydia also takes a picture in teen wolf in s1e06:
and in both cases the picture isn’t shown to the teenager attacked by the werewolf in the picture.
in both cases the person knowing about the picture is also the person who first brings up the werewolf possibility. brigitte does so with ginger:
BRIGITTE (laughing hard) I know, but okay. what I think? (she counts on her fingers) Attacked. On a full moon. Now, yer hairy. GINGER (snorting) I’m not Harry, I’m Ginger. BRIGITTE(snorting too) Stop, I’m serious. Think about it. Ginger stops laughing long enough to let the suggestion settle. GINGER That’s so stupid!
and stiles does so with scott:
stiles: Uhum. On the night of the full moon. Hey, you’re the one who heard a wolf howling. scott: There could be something seriously wrong with me. stiles: I know! You’re a werewolf! Rarr! Okay, obviously I’m kidding. But if you see me in shop class trying to melt all the silver I can find it’s because Friday’s a full moon.
in both cases we see animals react negatively to the bitten teenager. a dog in ginger’s case:
and a few cats in scott’s:
and while both scott and ginger seem more confident after the bite, the person closest to them, the one who brought up the idea of them being werewolves, start researching. brigitte:
and stiles:
stiles learn about wolfsbane:
and a bit later so does brigitte:
in both cases it doesn’t take a silver bullet to kill the werewolf:
ginger: Did I change last night, howl at the moon, kill shit and change back this morning, huh? brigitte: No. ginger: Did it take a sliver bullet to stop that thing? No, it got killed by a fucking truck.
other than that, there is the janitor
who finds the bitten teenager after school and dies:
the alpha/werewolf form:
ginger losing control and starting to shift into a werewolf form:
peter losing control and partially shifting into the beast alpha form:
adding to it, there is the fact ginger snaps talks about menstruation and the way it goes about it reminded me a bit of the sort of joke teen wolf has about the subject.
BRIGITTE (V/0)
But see all the books and movies an’ shit said it had to be a full moon, that it’d be all at once. An, ya know, not one word about chick werewolves on the rag. Typical.
