Werewolf By Night // Reaction & Review

[@kvoltti]

two things amazed me. 1: Man-Thing was a practical suit with CGI enhancement, 2: The shadow transformation scene was all done in camera

[@earlgendron4893]

In camera in one continuous shot

[@ejleoz21]

They need to use practical suits with CGI more, First couple Iron man suits were so good, and Man-Thing looked good aswell.

[@GamiCross]

The real elements add so much to the whole movie as work of art that had passion put into it

[@bironjames9948]

oh fr i like when they use practical shit all the cgi just taks you ou t of it sometimes

[@thedarkknight2221]

This is seriously one of the coolest monster movies I’ve ever seen! I thought it’d be at most kind of good but this special is honestly a 10/10 for me. Michael Giachinno should direct the next Blade movie. I loved the use of film grain, black and white, and the very old school style soundtrack. And the makeup and visual effects for both The Werewolf and Ted/Man-Thing were amazing. I don’t think we’ll see them in an Avengers movie but I would love to see more of them as well as Elsa Bloodstone in future MCU projects. Also I loved the very subtle jokes of Jack being a wolf because before he sits down to talk with Elsa he turns around in place like a dog and in the cage he scratches his ear really fast like a dog.😂

[@StillbornGravity]

these shorts or specials are a great way to introduce some of these known characters like man thing. perfecto 10/10

[@metallicnole4514]

We definitely need more fresh and original content in the mcu like this

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

This special was easily one of my favorite piece of Marvel media ever! Can't wait for more MCU supernatural

[@TBKingViper]

Many forget that Man-Thing technically already showed up in Thor 3. His head was one of the statues on the main building. Man-Thing guards the Nexus.

[@virlinehonore9767]

This movie was so cool and I loved it so much!! I need to see more of Elsa, Jack and Ted in future MCU projects

[@todderickson2435]

This was so, so, SO GOOD!!! Easily one of my favorite things that Marvel has done!! Both Jack and Elsa were fantastic, and I can't wait to see more. A few other things: 1) They nailed Man-Thing!! He's my favorite Marvel monster, and I am so very happy with his introduction! For those who don't know,, he was a scientist named Ted Sallis, and as Man-Thing he is drawn to people's emotions, especially fear. His tag line in the comics was "Whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing's touch!" 2) I haven't heard any reactors mention this yet, but there was a fun little easter egg in the opening narration when he said the phrase "where monsters dwell," which was the title of a long-running Marvel horror comic. 3) I strongly recommend that you watch the Disney+ documentary "Director by Night," which is about Michael Giacchino and his brother, and how they grew up making movies with their friends. It's extremely good! Keep it up Wendy and Dustin!! You guys are awesome!

[@paulanderson771]

Best Disney+ since Loki and I absolutely love it! The introduction of the dark layer as separate from the super heroes just gives them all kinds of freedom. There were actually several Marvel horror comic easter eggs in this which had me geeking out. Looking forward to more!

[@manleychenoweth8144]

Someone needs to make a supercut of reactors saying "put it in the crack!" 😂

[@TheMovieCouple]

Lmao I would love if someone did this

[@Limonelguey]

Man thing has connections to the super soldier program since in the comics he was a scientist trying to replicate the super soldier serum.

[@OilyAnimal3]

They absolutely need to release this on DVD and Blu-ray. I can't not have a physical copy. Same goes for all the Disney Plus marvel shows cuz so far they have no plans to release them on DVD and Blu-ray and I absolutely need physical copy!

[@n8-creates]

That black panther shirt is awesome!

[@supahmajoo]

I didnt think i would like this as much as i did! We need more like this. More specials! ❤

[@SonicFrozen_Fan2005_Official]

Best Disney+ Marvel movie we got.

[@McShaganpronouncedShaegen]

Best Marvel project in a while. Not hating on anything but this I really loved. This should work with Moon Knight nicely.

[@erikolson4148]

"Whatsoever/Whosoever knows fear, burns 🔥 at the touch of.. the *_Man-Thing!_* " ☠️😈

[@mageeaaron2624]

This is where the fun begins 🙏🏽

[@davewhitmore1958]

Easy there Anakin

[@ricardoramos1059]

I loved this special, we get introduced to iconic horror supernatural characters like werewolf by night jack russel, man thing ted sallis and elsa bloodstone. Fun facts: the narrator voiced thor in avengers earths mightiest heroes, elsa and her dad dont have the best rapport in the comics either as far as im aware, bloodstone reveals the true form of a monster, man thing was a scientist who works in the everglades once again og the super soldier formula his gf was working for aim he escaped used the serum on himself fusing with the swamp matter into his current form that guards the nexus of all realities and all who know fear burn at his touch. Jacks lycanthtopy is hereditary curse due yo dracula and currently thiers a new werewolf by night ehose native american . Hopefully we get to see more specials like this in the future hell this be a good way to introduce other lesser known characers into the spotlight. All im hoping is for the eventual formation of the midnight sons AKA the supernatural avengers

[@andrewforte3852]

Elsa Bloodstone is the daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone a legendary monster hunter who for 10,000 years fought the forces of darkness. The 'bloodstone' is an supernatural ancient relic that endows its possessor with enhanced strength, durability, healing, and longevity. Man-Thing was a former biochemist Ted Sallis who took the super soldier serum fell into a mysterious swamp with mystical properties that transforms him into a muck monster who is sworn Protector of the Nexus of All Realities. Jack Russell is the ill-fated inheritor of a family curse that during the height of the full moon becomes Werewolf By Night with all the attributes of a lycanthrope.

[@soccertl]

This was a pleasant surprise for me. Never knew about it until a few days ago and watched it. Very much enjoyed it.

[@johnbowen2496]

Yes they are in the MCU. These are two more of the Midnight Suns. The dark marvel consisting of characters like Venom, Blade, Ghost Rider, and Morbius.

[@johnteller678]

Cool BP shirt.

[@JonAllanson]

Thanks for another great reaction. I, too, really enjoyed this. So well done.

[@AncientOutlaw]

This was a Marvel project that i didn't know i needed, but man i was sooooo blown away by the cinematography and the soundtrack. Outstanding casting decisions as well ... 10/10

[@ariyansingh3108]

Some of the best marvel content I've seen tbh. Loved man-thing I think he's definitely going to be a big player moving foward in the multiverse saga as he gaurds the nexus of all realities (basically a gateway to other dimensions) so that'll be cool to see.

[@Limonelguey]

Man thing, werewolf by night, and elsa bloodstone will be potential members of the midnight sons down the road.

[@biscuitninja]

In the labyrinth you noticed the music stops and as they say, music soothes the savage beast...

[@mageeaaron2624]

17:04 Exaclty! Man-Thing also looks great! 👌 🙏🏽

[@peterdennis4394]

We need more Elsa. She's such a badass.

[@jacobfleming3926]

One of the most unique marvel projects

[@rey_of_light-t1b]

Love your shirts.

[@erikolson4148]

The monster head with white fur, horns, and horn like protrusions in its jaw? I think it's a Wendigo 🤔😰.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I hope Michael Giacchino makes more stuff like this i want to see more of elsa bloodstone, jack russell werewolf by night and ted sallis manthing in the mcu

[@mageeaaron2624]

10:12 Man-Thing in this scene reminded me of Mr. X from Resident Evil 😂

[@testfire3000]

I truly hope this becomes a Disney+/Marvel annual tradition: A Halloween Special. Will all three characters return on the next one or do they mix it up? Maybe one or more of them could be the focus of the story one year, others the next, and they keep introducing new scares. In the regular MCU, no character gets a movie every year, so it wouldn't surprise me if it is a while before we see all three of them again.

[@leroyd3480]

A wonderfully entertaining short movie.

[@jmarkly]

My favorite line in the whole movie: Kill me as I am now. Otherwise there will be no mercy, I promise.

[@JayStephens8]

This was awesome 🔥🔥🔥

[@Dilirium23]

I want a short, or background scene of Ted and Jack getting sushi.

[@marcellousnguyen187]

Awesome

[@erikolson4148]

Apparently that was a vampire that Jack Russell said he fought a few times. In humanoid bat 🦇 form 🤔.

[@beethewizard]

All things Man-Things were my favorite. Let’s go Ted!!! Interestingly, Man-Thing and Swamp Things were created individually by two friends. Man-Thing debuted first and 6 months later Swamp Thing. DC had gold with Swamp Thing and I hope Marvel realizes they have the same now so don’t blow it.

[@kevinhamilton2403]

You are the first ones I have seen make the black widow connection, which gives more weight to her earlier comment " not his training"

[@BroPaulSyrel]

This is so great

[@Murrlin27]

Quick drop by here, I was holding out on watching this, until finding out that Michael "Up" Giacchino composed the music as well. See you in a bit.

[@stevechevy3382]

Nice reaction. This was great. The only thing that could have made it a bit better would have been a Kraven the Hunter Cameo. Just a cameo. Having a big Spiderman villain as part of the movie would have taken over the show. But a cameo of either him turning the invite down or getting there too late. The other thing of course would have been for Blade show up too for a cameo. Maybe we'll get that in the future. As always enjoyed your reactions.

[@agresticumbra]

I wonder if ManThing snagged everything from the Bloodstone residence. I suspect the phonograph was at least from there.

[@stevennewlin8640]

Perhaps they are introducing Elsa Manthing and the werewolf as preparation for the Blade movie that will come out in the future? There is a vampire cow and Dracula etc in the world of thr comics so who knows.

[@mageeaaron2624]

15:50 So satisfying 😌

[@brandonmiracle9810]

I think we'll see all three of the main characters (Elsa, Jack, Man-Thing) pop up in future MCU projects in some form or fashion. Of the three, I think Elsa has the best long-term potential in other stories; I could see her teaming up with Blade, as an antagonist for Agatha, as a member of the Midnight Sons, or really dropping in smoothly to basically any supernatural story. If I remember correctly, she had a character arc during Secret Wars. But I'm not sure they'll even try to fit her into that movie which will already be jam-packed with other stuff. Man-Thing probably would be 2nd on my list in terms of future appearances. There's quite a bit they could do with him, but I think those appearances would be considerably smaller than what we got here. More like a plot device for some other movie. Jack can work in other stuff just fine. Especially Midnight Sons. But I don't think we'll see him headlining again unless it's another Special Presentation sort of deal. Unfortunate, since I really loved Gael Garcia Bernal's performance in this. But I think the character has some limitations in terms of what Marvel likes to do with their movies and stuff. Could see him having guest appearances in random places though.

[@shannarong3475]

Yeah! Finalyl!!

[@rurutuM]

this was a very good introduction to this side of MCU

[@greencello599]

It's easy to forget the supernatural/ horror element that is also in the MARVEL comics. Most of the heroes and heroines are explained through either science/technology or genetics. Despite the new delay with the new BLADE movie, the supernatural elements are slowly but surely entering the MCU. It's just a matter of time when we see Jack, Ted, and Elsa team up again with new allies such as Frankenstein's Monster, the Living Mummy, Ghost Rider and Blade among others to fight against the likes of Dracula and Mephisto. The Midnight Sons shall unite. We just don't know when.

[@earlgendron4893]

I’ve seen people guessing based on Feige comments that the leader is going to try to get man thing in the next captain America new world order movie

[@redfive8965]

This one hour was better than anything She-Hulk put out.

[@mordakie3805]

i loved this movie

[@DarkPaladin24]

"Just shove it in the crack!" That's what she said. lol Anyways, this movie was a bit different than what I was expecting. I actually enjoyed it. My favorite werewolf design still goes to Van Helsing. Regardless, I was quite entertained by this.

[@WhyEvenBother-t4w]

I loved it! I appreciate the old "wolfman" nod. In fact it was awesome until the last 15 minutes, when they turned on all the strobe lights on set, and I couldn't watch anymore. :(

[@cassiebanks]

It made me miss Grimm, another show about monsters I loved. Grimm being what it was sets up a precedent for the good monsters/bad monsters, buddy series. Marvel has so much to work on now, but hey - if any of the Grimm writing staff is still around I'm sure Marvel could get a series out of it considering how few episodes their series have.

[@mageeaaron2624]

13:34 IT HAS BEGAN!!!!!!!

[@JustKrin]

People keep saying Michael Giacchino for Blade, but after seeing that long take fight, how about Michael Giacchino for Daredevil Born Again?? He would knock knock it out of the park

[@ericstorm6582]

Um, Blade fits Giacchino more

[@blackraven85_1]

I smell Marvel setting up the Midnight Sons. A group of dark characters who deal with the occult and evil monsters. We'll see Werewolf By Night again. What's funny is that our kids already know these new characters through Marvel's own cartoon series on KZbin called Marvel Rising years in advance. Werewolf By Night, Moon Knight and She Hulk have all had episodes. Their cartoon channel is Marvel HQ. All with Hollywood actors voicing the characters in a very high quality cartoon series. We're the ones getting caught up, not them and us

[@jmarkly]

I thought it had a little hint of The Hunger Games vibe.

[@Dom_510]

Why would they spend money to make something for their platform and then remove it after a single week so that no one who’s subscribed could ever watch it again lol. Not hating but I have no idea how you could seriously think that

[@TheMovieCouple]

Oh we totally agree that it doesn’t make sense for them to make this a limited run. Wendy read it somewhere online and wanted to share that info in the video just in case there’s any truth to it. This movie is so good and we hope everyone gets a chance chance to watch it.

[@Berto2K]

@@TheMovieCouple If anyone mentioned "limited run", I'm guessing they were just talking bout it being a one-off single show. Not a series like all the other D+ stuff.

[@equusfemina1]

Sorry, but I’ve literally not heard or read that take ANYWHERE else. I’m not doubting you, of course, just not sure where Wendy saw it? You’re “reporting” something that simply is not true…and I’m thinking you must be mistaken. If I’m wrong I’ll gladly eat my own words, but, the special is still streaming and being openly promoted on Disney+ as I’m typing these words, today October 17th, 10 days post-release…so... “Limited” in this instance simply means it was a one-shot story. It’s a way to discourage fans from expecting an immediate follow up “sequel” or further “episodes.” Period. 🤷‍♀️

[@rrtsduf]

Them CSL are so amazing

[@texassmokingmonkey]

Bro, you have a total Erik Selveig thing going on. Are you of Scandinavian extraction?

[@erikolson4148]

Apparently that was a vampire that Jack Russell said he fought a few times. In humanoid bat 🦇 form 🤔.
