Why are vampires eternally more popular than werewolves?
They are sexier
vampires are easier to do make up/ costume wise. they are also more immediate in understanding and flexible as a concept. I would love a good werewolf movie but the best we got is probably the london one.
I love both. But all werewolf stories devolve into a Jekyll & Hide scenario. Think about it.With vampires, they can have various stories, characterizations and backgrounds. Just narratively, they're on two different levels.
>>214228636its two different stories of two different creatures. Bram Stoker's is a classic novel. The Coppola adaptation is kino
>>214228775Even Teen Wolf had to make them look like vampires for budget reasons
There used to be a new Godzilla movie every year because it was a rubber suit and cardboard city, so those Japs could pump them out at a record pace.Now they take 2 years to make with super computers and millions of dollars and a sweatshop of 3D artists.CGI made werewolf movies die out because unless you can use CGI nobody wants a man in a suit
>>214228775the Wolfman is good. makeup is amazing. shame it was scaled down and cgi'd in parts without Baker knowing
>>214228927G-one was like 6 million to make
>>214228834This. You can talk to a vampire. A werewolf just grunts.
And what's the go with frankenstein
>>214228636its cus of the sexual element and women wanting to fuck serial killers>ohhh you can kill me by taking all my life essence but youre making an exception because you LOVE me!?vs turning into hairy hulk once a month
>>214228636Vampires = sex
>>214228636its a mystery...
>>214228656
>>214228636>Why are vampires eternally more popular than werewolves?Because it's impossible for a westoid 3dslop to produce a kino werewolf.
>>214230340now that you mention it wolfs rain is really good
>>214228636Vampires are white: high iq, long term planning to survive, euro culture.Werewolf’s are brown/black : uncontrollable chimp outs, mah dick culture, etcSimple
Because werewolves are boring and are more about the person fighting themselves. The vampire character is the character, where a werewolf is separated from the host.
>>214228636What happens if a vampire bites a werewolf? Has this ever been explored?
>>214230824You get a series of movies people only watch for Kate Beckinsale in leather.
>>214230836I somehow managed to avoid those for my entire life.
>>214230836That’s not the ONLY reason. The first one is a mostly great flick.Although it drags anytimescreen time focuses on werewolf
>>214230836>>214230953I'm>>214230868Are they worth watching in 2025? I always thought they looked like derivative trash that was trying to cash in on The Matrix at the time so that's why I gave them a skip back them.
>>214228636Horny women.
>>214231029They are a cool flick if you are 19 years old, you are probably too old for them.And yes they are a little derivative, in the best way, but not so much the matrix but older goth /vampire films films.Calling them derivative makes it sound like you were too foppish for your own good when you were 19. Also only the first one
>>214228636Not many people want to fuck werewolvesNow why are pirates more popular than Ninjas
>>214231139Pirates are free, ninjas are just state operators with extra steps.
>>214231124>Calling them derivative makes it sound like you were too foppish for your own good when you were 19.Probably, yes.
>>214231176It’s okay. We all ruin our own lives.I love you and care about you deeply
>>214230824The Vampire Diaries has hybrids. Werewolves that were given vamp blood and then turned.
>>214228927>nobody wants a man in a suitThere was that Frank Grillo movie about werewolves (a really terrible one) where werewolves were people in suits.
>>214231029>I always thought they looked like derivative trash that was trying to cash in on The Matrix at the timeOnly partially. It was just the popular "look and feel" for a short while. Matrix obviously had a role in it, too, but there's quite a few action movies from that era that have this vibe, with leather, crushed blacks, everyone looking way too serious, etc.>Are they worth watching in 2025?When I last watched them, I rated them 5, 4, 3, 2 and 2 out of 10 (in order of release).1 is fine. It's nothing special at all but it's fine, and it has some strong moments here and there. 2 is unnecessary but it's a direct continuation of the events from 1, so might as well watch it too if you watch 1.3 is a prequel whose probably only "value" is the real life lore, where 1) they cast a Kate Beckinsale irl doppelganger (Rhona Mitra) to play a character whom Kate's character is supposed to strongly resemble; and 2) in the 1st film, Kate's husband at that time played the bad guy, and Kate divorced him to marry the director. In the 3rd film, this ex-husband of Kate returns to have a romance and a sex scene with Rhona Mitra. "I look your wife from you and now I'm making you fuck her doppelganger on camera!"4 is essentially like a bad videogame. It's also something like 1:15 without the intro montage and outro credits. Also, this is the part where the series tried to be more SCIENCY about vampires and werewolves instead of mythical, and shat the bed by being inconsistent.5, despite being bad, has some good British actors chew the scenery, and a surprising amount of fun cheesy one-liners."I think that...""Don't think, you'll hurt yourself."I also think the series lost some of its important visual grit by going from a kino film look to shot-on-digital. Even though it never fell to the trashiest possible levels of the latter.
>>214228636goths > furries
Vampires can be hot, unlike werewolves, unless you're a furfag.
>>214230824Pretty sure that was a plot line in WWDITS
Vampires are sexier, werewolves are all hairy with the bones crunching and a nasty temperament etc.
>>214228775eggers is making warewulff
If you're a werewolf, when you die, you become a vampire.
>>214231120In the 90’s when I was skating along a river walk late at night I encountered a large gathering of vampire cosplayers. Lots of sexy goth chicks. Bitches love vampires, ask Peter Steele.
>>214230320dumb freddy mercury stache, not as bad as oldman's old lady hair thoughboth still dumb
>>214228636More fuckable. That's the only reason.
>>214228636Werewolves look like they stink.Vampires may stink, depending on the lore, but they don't look like they do. Unless they're mexican.
>>214231124I don't want FOP, Goddammit!I'm a Dapper Dan Man!
>>214231139Pirates are white and speak English. Ninjas are probably more popular in Japan.
>>214231569>cosplayers
Vampire mommy.
>>214228636Being an immortal aristocrat who stays young is a more popular fantasy than being a furry with anger issues
>>214231266Also forgot to mention that werewolf bites kill vampires. They can't outheal the venom.
>>214228636Vampires come from myths and old literature so there's more room for creative writing when you produce media about them. Werewolves are always reduced to some generic cursed monster. I did really enjoy the first two underworld films + rise of the lycans for creating some original lore and trying to make werewolves more interesting.
>>214228636They are sexier, simple as. Though Ginger was extremely sexo.>>214230320>mfw Nosferatu had women gooning over him irl
Are there any films that explore vampires in very old times? Not modern or medieval, but something like antiquity, or even prehistory, where "some human-like thing apparently hunting the local tribe of humans" isn't all too different from any other spooky animal, that is to say, where the narrative doesn't need to separate the supposedly-supernatural vamprire from natural threats.
>>214231451>Only partially. It was just the popular "look and feel" for a short while. Matrix obviously had a role in it, too, but there's quite a few action movies from that era that have this vibe, with leather, crushed blacks, everyone looking way too serious, etc.Exactly, and that's why I gave Underworld a pass back then. I liked The Matrix when it came out, but then every movie started copying it and I got annoyed by it really quickly. At the time I especially disliked when that kind of dual handgun slomo leather super serious style was mixed with horror, it's one of the main issues I had with the RE movie, even though I was a RE fan, to me the combination of horror and action just didn't work well together.
>>214230242>where to?
>>214228636werewolves are basically animals, who wants to watch a rabid dog? maybe one fight scene would be interesting but that would get old quick
>>214230320i prefer the classic
>>214230588>Because werewolves are boring and are more about the person fighting themselves. The vampire character is the character, where a werewolf is separated from the host.Which is kind of retarded if you think about it. Vampirism is also supposed to be a curse. A person sold his soul to the devil for eternal life and now has to take the life of others to sustain themselves. Instead people treat it like some fucking video game status change (+STR +AGI needs to drink blood every now and then).I like the way D&D treats vampirism. As a curse that twists ones personality. Someone who loved someone else becomes a stalker/yandere. Someone who loved his country and was a patriot becomes a Tyrant obsessed with HIS vision of the country, etc.Of course vampirism has gone through being a metaphor for everything from AIDS to fucking dependance for oil (Daybreakers) so whatever.>>214231147This. Ninjas are just glowies in black suits and often have to take suicide missions and are in fact raised to be literal fucking tools in a lot of stories. Pirates are fucking assholes, but they are FREE assholes out for booty. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE.
>>2142310291 is okay, but it's not as good as Blade
We need a BladeRayne.
>>214231618Yeah maybe it was an O9A nexion but my parents came and made me go home. lol
>>214228636Why do right angles defeat vampires?
>>214231147>ninjas are just state operatorsI'm really hoping Shinobi undercover is going to have the MC turn against the state later
>>214231800sounds like that predator film they made
>>214228636furry shame
>>214232686Epilepsy.
>>214228636>Multi-board spamNot sure what's more pathetic - spamming this here, on /tg/ or on /aco/
>>214228775>vampires are easier to do make up/ costume wisethis
>>214228775Dog Soldiers, bro.
>>214228656>They are sexierLiterally this, and only this. Half the audience is female. Females don't want to be ugly hairy beasts. They want to be whores. Gothy, slutty, fashionable, aristocratic whores.
>>214230320>eastern european>has a moustacheI mean, makes him look properly eastern european
>>2142286361) vampires 2) Frankensteins3) wolfmen 4) black lagooners
