Seems that a Twihard fangirl named Kayla Patterson sent fan mail to Universal regarding their take on The Wolfman asking how they could produce such a crappy imitation clearly ripped off from the pages of Twilight.
Even worse that they would be so ignorant as to write a plot line suggesting a silver bullet could kill a werewolf… and what’s up with those halfbreed monster werewolves huh? Jacob Black was so much better.
Enjoy a selection of this “fan mail” as Get the Big Picture quotes:
To whom this may concern:
This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a “were wolf”. I don’t see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it.
How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet? Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is “supposed” to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn’t come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man.
You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn’t even make the top Movie for the charts; Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY opinion and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks.
Wow. I love stupid Teenagers.
I don’t defend the quality of Twilight, but I don’t think it is as embarassingly bad as some want to think it is. I don’t insist you have to be a fan, but I still see some redeeming qualities even as I recognize how wont appeal to everyone. It connects with a REAL version of an irrationally emotional teenage girl, and a fresh look at the traditional archetypes of mythical creatures.
But this is a prime example of the irrational ignorance that breeds Twilight such a rabid following. Its downright comical reading the fan hatemail claiming that Twilight was the origin of Werewolf stories, and how The Wolfman was clearly ripping it off.
Kind of like how True Blood and Vamprie Diaries ripped off Twilight as well. (They did ride the vampire fame, but they both predate Twilight)
I love the irony that Twilight often is criticized for “getting vampires and werewolves wrong” while this fan holds Twilight as the standard by which other werewolves will be judged.
