Teen Wolf (TV series): Difference between revisions

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Derek has one.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The whole cast in spades, but special props go to Mrs. McCall.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Stiles, who crushes on Lydia, who really doesn't care.

** Lydia flirts with Stiles in the fifth episode when he came by to see if she was okay - much to his delight, at least until he finds out that she's only doing so because she was really drugged up and thought he was Jackson.

** Though she's more [[Jennifer's Body|high school evil than evil evil.]]

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: {{spoiler|If a werewolf kills the Alpha that bit him he can either be cured or take a [[Klingon Promotion]]. Knowing this [[Face Heel Turn|Derek kills Alpha]] while Scott begs him to stop.}}

** As does Aunt Kate's invading Derek's home and taunting him with the description of her 'murdering Derek's sister and cutting her into pieces for bait' in "The Tell."

* [[Five-Man Band]]: Made especially prominent in "Night School":

** Stiles is considered very smart but may possibly have a disorder affecting his concentration seeing how he takes Adderall and has no focus in school.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Stiles is much more aware than Scott of the 'rules' governing werewolves and chides him for not recognizing wolfsbane. He also is more focused on the werewolf plot than Scott much of the time - Scott is often a little [[Distracted by the Sexy|distracted.]]

** Derek parodies this when he talks to Scott in the second episode.

{{quote|'''Derek:''' Do you think your little buddy, Stiles, can just look up werewolves and now you've got all the answers?}}

* [[Hero with Bad Publicity]]: Derek is known as a criminal, but he's actually a decent, if somewhat dark, guy.

* [[His Story Repeats Itself]]: Derek has first-hand experience and reasoning as to why he thinks Scott shouldn't date an Argent.

* [[Hotter and Sexier]]

{{quote|'''Stiles (to Scott):''' Do you enjoy hurting me?}}

** Stiles also has his own copy of the key to the house.

* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: Lydia references this trope, warning Allison over the phone that Scott might fall off of it, starting with being thirty minutes late for dates and eventually ending up at domestic violence.

* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Kate and The Alpha in the season finale.}}

{{quote|"A dog joke? Really? You're gonna go there and that's the best you got?"}}

* [[Large Ham]]: Coach Finstock, oh so much.

* [[New Transfer Student]]: Allison. Though Scott eyes (or should it be, hears? Both?) her before she's even introduced to the class.

** [[Hidden Depths]], Allison is apparent skilled in gymnastics and archery and is willing to be a ''bad'' girl at some points despite her normally good girl complex. Though, being the daughter of a werewolf hunter, such should be anything but a surprise.

** Namely, Jackson. [[Ho Yay]] ensued. Every time they share a scene.

** Derek also has a tendency to [[Ho Yay]] Stiles, breaking into his house, pushing him up against a wall, and basically car jacking him on two occasions. This works both ways, as a majority of the episode Magic Bullet has Stiles babysitting a weakened and shirtless Derek {{spoiler|dying under the influence of poison. Culminates in Stiles climbing astride a half naked Derek smacking him awake.}}

** Stiles has one as well when he realizes that he's surrounded by {{spoiler|both the Alpha ''and'' his human accomplice.}}

* [[Only Friend]]: From what's seen, Stiles seems to be Scott's only friend. And possibly vice-versa. At least until the [[Love Interest]] pops up.

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Stiles, whose first name is apparently very difficult to pronounce.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: [[Jerk Jock|Jackson]] in that everybody but him cheers on Scott's rather miraculous change of athletic ability. He almost seems frustrated that no one else thinks that something is wrong with Scott - even his girlfriend starts hitting on Scott.

* [[Scary Black Man]]: The vet, enough to make '''the alpha''' back off.

{{quote|Vet: Let me make myself clear. [[This Is Sparta|We. Are. Closed.]]}}

{{quote|'''Stiles''': Why is it starting to feel like you're Batman and I'm Robin? I don't wanna be Robin all the time!

'''Scott''': Nobody's Batman and Robin ANY of the time.

'''Stiles''': Not even some of the time?" }}

** Scott compares himself to the [[Incredible Hulk]].

** So far, at least one to [[The Wolf Man]] in the second episode when referring to Wolfsbane.

** Derek gets one in the fourth episode. He really spends a disproportionate amount of his time shirtless.

** Jackson's been getting in on the action as well.

* [[Silver Bullet]]: [[Averted Trope|Stiles thought that Derek got shot by one, which caused Derek to call Stiles an idiot.]]

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Allison has no problem being with apparent loser Scott.

** Scott's mother seems to be seeking a good man, too. Too bad the one she found was {{spoiler|the Alpha}}.

{{quote|'''Stiles/Derek:''' Scott, you could kill everyone and people could find out about your powers!

'''Scott:''' Lacrosse! Allison! }}

* [[Stalker Without a Crush]]: Derek, to Scott. He's making sure Scott isn't being too destructively disobedient.

* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Mr. Harris, the strangely intense chemistry teacher. If this show wasn't live-action, you could expect [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] to be invoked for emphasis.

* [[Super Senses]]: Being a werewolf grants one such powers.

** Unfortunately for Derek, when he was feeling the incapacitating effects of the wolfsbane bullet, he received a painful sensory overload from the overwhelming noise and activity happening in the school. Especially from the school bell that happened to be placed right above him.

* [[Unfazed Everyman]]: Stiles wears this coat quite well, [[Hypercompetent Sidekick|and it seems to fit him even more the weirder things happen to get]].

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: "Hey look! They're showing us the Alpha transforming into a human-- ...Oh wait. You can't tell who it is with that shadowy silhouette."

** She does eventually succeed {{spoiler|with Scott.}}

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: YMMV, but some viewers definitely consider Scott this. Most of his teachers would probably agree.

* [[Viral Transformation]]: Scott becomes a werewolf once {{spoiler|the Alpha}} bites him in the woods.

** Also, no body seems to notice that Scott leaves frantically, right after the game in the second episode, both times. Right after he injures Jackson (which they also pay no mind to, except really Lydia), and right after he wins the game for them (except Stiles and Allison).

** Scott bashing his head into the wall, repeatedly, during school, anyone?
