Argent Family - Tumblr Posts
I just saw someone in my neighborhood with a light blue jeep, and now I'm having serious Teen Wolf Vibes.

I know this ia sort of an old discussion, but am I the only one who thinks that a Hale spin off show would be not all that engaging . Especially if we are talking about the time period when Derek was a child.
The nematon is cut down and inactive so it can't attract supernatural crises on the levels we saw on the show and whatever supernatural problem they do face, it can't be huge enough to attract the attention of Beacon hills' townsfolk. Of course , the show's strong point was never the plot itself, but the characters in it. However, the Hales as a family , when you exclude the fact that they are werewolves, are not all that exciting either. They are just an aristocratic, rich family that for the most part led pretty normal lives. We saw it with Derek. He went to school, played sports , had a girlfriend...
An Argent family spin off on the other hand. Now that is a show with potential. Psychologically speaking, can you imagine how enthralling it would be to witness how Gerard raised his children to be essentially weapons? How he pitted them against each other in order to make sure they never overthrow him? How Chris managed to an extent escape his conditioning, while Kate completely fell prey to it? As an added bonus, we know that the Argents move wherever they are needed so the world is their playground.
Obviously, both concepts can turn out great with the right team, but I don't know. I just felt like sharing my thoughts.
No, but why side with the Hales 🤔?
This has been a question I've had regarding why Teen Wolf fandom latched so onto the Hale family and perpetually painting them as the victims of the Argents.
I mean, if you're gonna ignore that a brown Latino, working class asthmatic boy is the lead and focus of the show named after him then why gravitate to the Hale family and not the Argent family?
They're just as wealthy, just as influential, just as ancient. Why all these posts about how Scott is stupid for not blindly following Derek or Peter when he could have also sought out Chris for guidance? Why such a plethora of fix it fics centering the narrative on the Hales and their return to glory when you could have it be about the Argent family vanquishing the murderous Peter who killed his own niece - his alpha - for power?
Ignoring how certain sectors of fandom's insistence that Teen Wolf should've been a show about two noble warring families is missing the entire point of the show for a minute.... why so much siding with the Hale family? What makes their pursuits any more valid or justified?
