Art at its very best leaves us with questions.
But then, so doesTeen Wolf.
Ill share some of them if you will permit me, together with my valiant attempts at answering them.
Advanced warning: I may be overthinking this.

1.
Was it as good as I remember?
(An explanation is probably long overdue).
Which brings us on to…
2.
Are many actors as effortlessly charming as Michael J Fox in his prime?
While there are things wrong with this movie, its lead actor isnt one of them.
And while two films in a row hardly qualifies as a pattern, what is it with Michael J.
Fox being cornered by ball-busting teachers in school corridors?
Why does Scotts werewolf look more simian than lupine?
Whys the school full of white people?
Seriously, Scott Howards high school is about as culturally diverse as an Amish barn-raising ceremony.
It was the 80s, after all it was deemed acceptable back then.
Uncle Ben, is that you?
When you want it, youre gonna have great power.
DoesTeen Wolffeature cinemas first spoiler song in its soundtrack?
I wonder if anyone watching Michael J.
Fox dribble down the court while an audio distillation of the decade wailed Wiiiiiiin in the end.
What was that background artist thinking?
Youre in the final scene of the film.
Budgets were tight and they couldnt hire that many extras, so you are sitting essentially on your own.
Fox, his character delirious from victory, comes rushing towards your section of the stands to embrace someone.
In the background of possibly the films final shot!
You stand up to cheer, your big moment has arrived, and…
Are my pants still undone?
Yup, theyre undone.
Ill just pull my sweater down and zip myself up.
No one will ever notice.
Theyll probably film it again anyway.
And even if they dont, itll be a funny thing that might make me kinda famous.
I mean its not like Ill be mistaken for a guy taking his junk out, is it?
And then have that myth perpetuated by a satirical cartoon in the future?
Surely that would be very unlikely?
I am a woman after all.
(No really, check out the TV version of the film formatted for 4:3.
Its a lady,Family Guy, definitely a lady.
And shes just zipping herself up, not waving around a phallus.
But thanks for precipitating a series of passionately defended arguments between my friends and me.)
Why wasnt his dad affected by the dog whistle in the hardware store?
That dog whistle really seems to hurt poor Scott, yet his dad barely flinches.
If names that mock your weight are upsetting for you, then dont settle for the moniker of Chubby!
Also, when did everyone learn that awful wolf dance?
I mean the moves are quite basic, but it was still very well choreographed.
Did someone send out a flyer of dance moves before the party?
What exactly is the moral of this story?
Its theSpider-Manquote that does it…
Apparently, Peter Parker had it all wrong.
Nobody likes a show off!
I mean what was the terrible price he paid for being the wolf, exactly?
So he ripped a guys shirt for making offensive remarks about his dead mom and best friend.
Does the wolf represent mind-altering substances that make you feel great but will only result in you hurting people?
