In fact, it is not only in Europe that there are legends of werewolves. In the ancient Indian legends of the Americas, some wizards also have the ability to "transform", which can change with the environment, or the needs of the situation, or to avoid the enemy, The tracking of beasts transforms oneself into animals such as wolves, bears, eagles, etc. After transformation, wizards not only possess the abilities of these animals, but also maintain human consciousness.

Unlike Europe, the wizard who turned into a wolf was regarded by the tribe as a powerful hero. Of course, if he was unfortunate enough to arrive in Europe at that time, he would definitely be charged with the three crimes of barbarians, heretics and devils at the same time. Catastrophe is coming.

Different legends and similar characters did not produce a product of mutual harmony, because later civilized Europeans conquered the Americas by the most barbaric means, and Indian civilization was largely killed.

With the prosperity of the West for hundreds of years, the **** legend of the European version of the werewolf has spread all over the world.

Most of the werewolf images we hear and see today are produced in Hollywood, America. Although werewolves are native to Europe, it is American comics, movies and TV works that promote them.

The well-known perverted superman who likes to wear underwear outside was born in the first issue of "COMICS" magazine in 1938, and the protagonist of this article was born in the 180th issue of "HULK" magazine in October 1974.

However, the influence of comics is not as good as that of movies after all. Filmed in 1981, American Werewolf in London was a great success as a light comedy that narrated the horror theme of werewolves in a humorous tone.

It is worth mentioning that the director of the film, John Landis, later filmed "Innocent Blood", which is a story describing "French vampires in America".

The film industry is a big business system that requires various types of films. Since then, werewolves have become the darling of Hollywood, and a series of werewolf-themed films have emerged one after another.

Although the new Hollywood film "Werewolf Army" is a low-cost B-level film, it successfully relies on the old-fashioned plot of werewolf murder to create a tense atmosphere with urgent rhythm and exciting scenes, which keeps the audience's nerves constantly nervous.

There is no doubt that the protagonist of the film is a ferocious wolf, and filmmakers love to fry cold rice the most, even if it is a bowl of leftover rice from ancient Roman times.

The werewolf, with its vicious reputation, has played a negative role in a series of film and television works.

There were even werewolves in the famous sci-fi TV series The X-Files, only this time it was an Indian werewolf who was making waves in front of FBI agents Mulder and Scully, in which the sheriff said: "Maybe she ( victims) saw something they were not psychologically ready to understand."

To be honest, when I saw a werewolf in a sci-fi TV series, I wasn't mentally prepared, but after the appearance of monsters, vampires, etc., I got used to it...

Although Hollywood screenwriters are half mediocre, they understand the needs of fashion very well.

For example, in the new film "Beasts of the World", the monsters in the traditional guardian resort are explained as genetic mutants of crocodiles, so the old-fashioned monster film has turned into a cutting-edge science fiction film.

Not only science fiction films, but also classical plots can be adapted arbitrarily. For example, what happens when Romeo meets Juliet?

Romeo is a werewolf and Juliet is a vampire woman warrior!

Even the famous Michael Jackson made a "Wolfman" film by himself: this film is called "Wolfed", which tells the story of a shoemaker's son who was abused by aristocrats in the seventeenth century and made a contract with the devil in order to retaliate. The story of him becoming a werewolf.

In addition, there are also werewolves in the popular series of movies and novels "Harry Potter" - one is Harry's third-year Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Remus Lupin, Harry's father's former friend; the other It was Fenrir Greyback.

However, these two can be said to be the two extremes of werewolves. Lupin drinks a potion on the night of the full moon to transform himself quietly and spend the night, but Fenrir is not at the full moon. Choose to **** blood to kill, extremely brutal.

But the most touching werewolf film to date is The Wolf Man, which was filmed in 1941.

Larry, a young British man, was bitten by a werewolf for saving people. Soon after, he turned into a werewolf and began to attack his friends and even the girl he admired. When he was sober, he tried in vain to stop himself from killing people. He told his relatives and friends , even went to the police station to surrender, but no one believed that he was a werewolf, he became a recognized lunatic.

So whenever the full moon shines, people are frightened by the terrifying perverted killer, and the werewolves relentlessly start a new round of uncontrolled slaughter.

Sandwiched between good and evil, Larry suffered a lot. Because of the powerful vitality of the werewolf, he could not even commit suicide.

Finally, at a garden party, Larry turned into a werewolf again~www.wuxiamtl.com~ This time its target was Larry's sweetheart.

Just as the werewolf fell on the girl, Larry's father killed his son with a silver cane.

At the end of the film, Mariva, a gypsy fortune-teller, squeezes out of the crowd to offer a final prayer for the dying werewolf, declaring that his suffering is over.

According to records at the time, the audience in the cinema all sighed and wept over Larry's misfortune.

In the field of games, although werewolves still perform from time to time, unfortunately most of them come and go in a hurry as vampires. In some stand-alone or online RPG games, you can often see werewolves as one of the monsters. Molecular grand tricks.

The games with werewolves as the protagonists are probably only the "Wolf Hunting" series and "Myth III: Age of Werewolf" which are more famous. On the other hand, its old friend, the vampire, is really beautiful, and there are many games with vampires as the protagonist.

Perhaps in the eyes of European and American game makers, vampires are more mysterious and unpredictable than werewolves?

As a negative protagonist, you often need to be "versatile". For example, a vampire can quickly solve a life, and when encountering a strong enemy, he can use magic to turn into a bat and slip away, or even disappear into a mist.

In contrast, werewolves seem to be able to do some "strength work", and when it comes to magic, they are simply not good at all, so they are always not favored by game manufacturers.

If a manufacturer really wants to take the risk of making a game with a werewolf as the protagonist, the scene must first be in the dark night, or in a dark and damp underground cave. As a werewolf warrior, with sharp teeth and claws and a killing heart, It must also create a **** and exciting game scene.

Will players appreciate it?
