You didn’t get what was going on there? The wolf isn’t a wolf. The wolf represents the black man. Suburban white kid wishes he was black, then becomes black and dominates on the basketball court. Of course, in the end his new powers are useless but they still win. The message is, “don’t worry white guys, black people might be faster, stronger, and more athletic than you but they’re still no match for our special brand of ugly, slow ass, fundamentals based basketball. The whole thing is just more 1980’s white guy pseudo-porn... like Rocky. After it was over he asked if I wanted to play a game called “Smash Brothers” which I assume is about assaulting African American men. I had to get up and leave.

Or it's just a movie about the struggles of being an average high school kid going through the struggles of real life. Just an average Joe at everything he does (dorky friends, below average at sports, average student, not popular, works for his dad's hardware store, has an average girl that likes him, etc.). Then goes through a life changing event that allows him to be better at everything he does and be the most popular kid in school. At the end of the day, he realizes everything he was losing by being the most popular guy/star player,/etc. and that he was just fine the way he was before being the wolf. With the message being, it's ok to be yourself. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. It's ok to just be a normal, average kid. I don't see it about being about race at all. But that is just my opinion. There are some definitely racist 80 movies out there, I just don't think Teen Wolf is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, kind of. The real story was about the relationship between Scott and his dad. I'm not sure I see the racism angle, especially because the movie was quickly written in 3-4 weeks because of Fox's Family Ties schedule and because the production company wanted another high school movie (like Valley Girl) that was cheaply and quickly made that would turn a huge profit.

I read the same thing for Back to the Future, and that the Family Ties director wouldn't let him do B2TF because one of the cast was on maternity leave and they needed him to carry the show. When that cast member returned, they allowed him to do B2TF and his schedule was something crazy like working from 10am to 2am daily (between both sets) for two months. B2TF was a pretty big hit back then and made his popularity soar. They started cranking out as many MJF movies they could. Look at everything he stared in after B2TF, tons of movies, most cheesy, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Riding around NOVA is such a hard feeling to describe. There are some parts of memory lane where everything is where I left it except the people. Some of yall are the only people I interact with in the DMV area outside of family now, feel like I'm starting over (which is fine, I knew that would happen when I did the hard code reset when I left 10 years ago, and part of it was necessary and by design). But yo, why didn't yall tell me they turned Tysons Corner into Angel Grove from Power Rangers? I came around the bend on 495 and my jaw dropped expecting it to be going down at any moment.

LadySkinsFan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 My dad was the first group of air traffic controllers when it opened. Going down the access road there was nothing but farms and the weird square building that was smaller on the bottom than top. Tysons Corner was just that, a crossroads, and Bailey's Crossroads had a pony ride ring in one corner of the crossroads that my parents used to take me too. I even remember when there wasn't a Beltway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Happy that you get another season out of it at least. So much competition out there these days, Idols numbers might have fallen, but the ad numbers and viewership that wants those products has not... I guess ? or has it ? Serious note... I have not seen that show besides snipets in a few years. My ex liked watching it. I always thought is was a little lame after the first few goofy episodes...then might watch the last to keep up with pop culture. Pay close attention, it is not pop culture anymore, nor is it done well. Side note: So you got a chick or dude that likes to watch it with you ?

Cooleyfan1993 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah i had a couple girls at school I’d watch it with. My mom and older sister like the show too so I’ve connected with them over that since 5th grade when I first got into the show. My guess is it doesn’t have too many seasons left even after being moved from FOX to ABC though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
