Fill in the blank with anyone you like, they're likely not going to evolve.
Perhaps the greatest disservice gaming culture has done to the world of fiction
is creating the false impression that the goal of everything is to level up and win.
This idea often manifests in Teen Wolf fandom as - "My favorite character will become a true
alpha" or "My favorite character will evolve to real wolf status or do this other super rare
thing because that's how you level up and win the game of Teen Wolf."
Gran: What a load of old shit.
Life doesn't work that way. Even when the whole universe comes out of a writers' room,
life doesn't work that way. I've explained why your favorite probably isn't good enough to
be a true alpha. You might not like it, but that's the facts. As for the evolution
thing you cannot be blamed for not believing that it's really hard and exceedingly rare.
I mean, we did see three people in one family who could do it. No. I'm not counting Malia in that
because her case was an extreme exception and she didn't get any of her supernatural ability
from the Hales she stole it all from her mother.
Corrine: What you do have is power strength speed and
the capacity to heal. And you know where you got it from Malia? You know where you stole it from? Me.
Malia is not evolved. She had her own very different journey to becoming a full animal. She is not in this.
Scott: Get away from me!
When I say "evolved", I'm only talking about werewolves, those individuals that have to struggle every day -
and especially on the full moon - to keep their monster from overwhelming their human side.
It is nearly impossible for both of those sides - the monster and
the human - to be fully integrated and balanced one with the other.
Most humans can't even find balance between our base desires and our higher brain functions.
In-universe, Sotomi spent decades after World War II in
pursuit of Zen balance and yet she had still not reached the full animal level.
Don't get me wrong - she was a badass. But she never reached the level of balance necessary
to go full animal at will.
But then we did have this super rare thing that showed up three times
in one generation of one family.
Listen, I get it. But that doesn't mean it's some family secret.
Each of them will have achieved this super rare thing under completely different circumstance.
We only got to see Derek's journey. And his was insanely difficult. Derek slowly lost all his
abilities and then literally died before he fully understood and found balance with his inner beast.
And while finding the balance does unlock a werewolf's potential strength and heightened
abilities, that's not the point of the thing. The point of the
thing is mental well-being and a better understanding of self.
