Sterek Deserved Better | Wasted Potential

Ойын-сауық

Even with the show off the air for years, Sterek continues to thrive. Any true fan knows Sterek is eternal, but how did Teen Wolf waste the potential of what could have been one of the greatest loves stories ever told?

    Part of me is hella upset that we never got to see sterek but I also know that Jeff would find a way to make their relationship unhealthy and toxic. Also can we please talk about Braeden? She was such a strong character who could have been a powerful symbol of women's strength but NO we had to put her in a rushed relationship with someone who just had his whole life torn apart and is unstable at best. And don't get me started on Stydia. Lydia was also such a strong and interesting character that should have ended up with someone she didn't share all this unhealthy trauma with. She literally hears dead people and shows signs of PTSD(they all do though), she should spend time figuring out who she is outside of a relationship with anyone and without constant fear playing a role in her decisions.

    I love this video and your take. I honestly think the show did Stiles, Derek AND Lydia all dirty by making Stydia end game. Lydia was my favourite of all the female characters, and I really think she was at her best single. Derek and Stiles were at their best together - they made the show worth watching for me :/ Really hoping for more sci-fi/fantasy shows in the future to do LGBTQ couples and to do them right.

    I agree stydia was ridiculous, their endgame moment was rushed, we didn't even get to see them together as a couple for that long. Stiles obsession with Lydia was so unhealthy and so boring to me in the end. Like when they finally made it canon I was like I don't even care about this anymore, s1 - s2 was when i was like yay stydia! But I feel like through out the seasons Lydia made it pretty clear she wasn't interested. And its that unhealthy trope of keep the fire going until she cracks and says yes. Its unhealthy for stiles to have done that for so long and it wasn't good for Lydia to go through being constantly bothered by him. To me they shouldn't have ended up together at all.

    You said it so perfectly that I have nothing more to add. I totally agree, they wasted all the potential between Stiles and Derek and also why did he even end up with Lydia. She always chose someone else even though she knew about Stiles' feelings and especially after she kissed him while he was having a panic attack and then decided to be with Aiden. I think they made them a couple only because fans wanted them to be one but for me it didn't make any sense. Him and Derek seriously could have an amazing relationship with their characters' development but as you said a lgbt representation in shows is still a joke but I did expect more from Joe especially because of the fact that he's a part of it but I guess I got my hopes too high :/

    Bruh, if you think about it Derek in later seasons didn’t really have rage as his anchor anymore. I honestly thinks his anchor was Stiles. It’s hinted at and a moment I think about that goes with this theory is in season three. Derek is in a dream and Stiles is there, out of everyone he knows and has known why Stiles there? Derek, I guess was having trouble knowing if he was dreaming or not, which is a parallel with Stiles and the whole trickster spirit thing and him having problems the same problem. But Derek doesn’t know that Stiles went through the same problem. Stiles is just there, and he has a really strong dominant presence in Derek’s dream, like his arms are crossed he standing looking down at Derek. Derek sitting , he’s being very vulnerable and he’s telling Stiles his problems. It’s known that when you’re dreaming of someone it shows how you really see them and how you truly see yourself.That it’s self shows Derek trust Stiles enough to be vulnerable and that Stiles is a dominant presence in Derek’s life. And then this happened, Stiles tells Derek that in dreams YOU, as in Derek himself, will have extra finger or toes. Instead of looking at his own hand, Derek picks up STILES’S hand and count his. From this we see Derek snap out of this dream / wake up. Anchors are there to keep werewolves grounded and keep them human. When Derek touches Stiles he was grounded and was conscious enough to snap out of this dream. I can’t really say much because I don’t remember more about this theory. By that was one of the things I remember about it. But I love this video and Sterek was really wasted potential for Teen wolf.

I never seen anything more between Stiles and Lydia than just being friends. Why make Stiles suffer, make him show off in front of Lydia for her to make it look like she likes him and then just crush his heart again in reality playing with him like a toy when he could’ve been actually happy with Derek???

    I totally agree with everything you said in this video! Something I'd add is the videos Dylan and Tyler made when MTV was looking for voted for Teen's Choice and the like, I've seen more than one where they're together, and there are suggestions of a future we never got. Another thing, something I find quite curious, from the finale, is how Stiles and Derek arrived together, just the two of them. Yeah, there's the whole FBI thing but... it's assumed that he's still with Lydia. Why then didn't she arrive with them? I'm not saying that if they're together they should have been living together or anything... but I'd expect a couple to want to travel together, especially considering how far away they were from Beacon Hills. Yet they each arrived on their own. And Derek is the one with Stiles... again. Who knows? Maybe I just want Sterek so badly I'm seeing what I want to see... Have you heard the rumors about the show coming back? Wonder if it'll be worth it... Then again, I've my doubts Tyler will be coming back considering the upcoming Lois&Clark series so... at least we'll always have fanworks!

And I’m not disrespecting the other actors, I’m just saying that for at least 67% of the entire show, they were the only characters holding it together. I was barely able to get through the second half of season six because Stiles and Derek weren’t there for most of it.

Boyd is a much better candidate for the true alpha thing. It was just disgusting how much the show wanted and needed Scott to be this amazing leader and person and he just wasn’t. He bit Liam without consent too. But no one in the Scott corner ever talks about that. I live for the fics where Scott is actually the good best friends and boyfriend he should have been or the ones who accept and have consequences for Scott’s crap behavior. Either way. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    I was really upset when Sterek didn't happen. The characters chemistry with eachother was undeniable and Davis denied us a potential couple on the show that wasn't toxic. Not to mention the interview Posey did basically bashing Sterek, that interview really upset me because there aren't very many LGBTQ+ representation in shows nowadays-sure we got gay side characters like Danny, Mason, Ethan and much later on Jackson. But I would have traded them all if it meant Stiles and Derek could have fallen in love and STAY in love with eachother. Davis shouldn't have basically teased the fans with Stiles potentially being Bi-sexual if there were no plans to make it a reality on the show. I agree 10000% when you said the characters balance eachother out, and that Derek was in nothing but toxic relationships throughout the series. I honestly think a loving relationship between Stiles and Derek would have given Derek better growth as a human being. Stiles would have been an EXCELLENT love interest for Derek but I guess Davis and Posey were too far up eachothers asses to see the potential between the two characters had with one another. The closest I can get to Sterek actually being a thing are fanfictions on Wattpad and other writing platforms. It's honestly both frustrating and heartbreaking. Sorry for the long winded comment.

    You're right. It's always the side character, or the comic relief. There is so much about how this show came together that doesn't make sense when you step back and take a look at it. I'm not sure what it is about YA shows and the constant rep of toxic and unhealthy relationships. Kids, teens, and young adults need better examples of what a relationship should look like to understand when they are in one that they should walk away from.

    I will never understand why they kept throwing scott as the perfect alpha in our face when Derek is there. Like yeah Derek had a learning curve but he NEVER abandons people or ignores them when they might be in danger. Stiles and Derek didn't even like each other at first but they took one look at the other and within a few episodes had each other's trust. When stiles says something, Derek considers his advice. When Stiles is in danger it's more believable that Derek will show up than Scott. In my opinion, Derek was and still is the Alpha (fck that true alpha shit, my lord what even the fck is that foolishness??) and Stiles is his second or emissary. A show about Stiles helping Derek regain a proper pack would have been a great arc, but they threw that out for wasted side plots. Ngl i genuinely had more interest in Peter Hale's character than i ever did in Scott or Allison. Stiles, Derek, Peter, Lydia, Chris Argent, all had better development.

Even we see in second season we see that derek want to kill both jackson and lydia because they think they’re the kanima but in season 3 when stiles was possessed by nogitsune derek refused to kill stiles in fact when atgent wanted to shot him he got terrified , sure its a development in the characters but it don’t happen in one season , its a development in his character and its also because he care a lot for stiles And like you mentioned he protected stiles even when he was nearly human , he did the same thing with the kanima by pushing him away even tho in mean that he’ll get hurt ( btw in season 2 derek didn’t really liked stiles so why would he do that? ) really hated what they did to sterek , I really have no problem with stydia becoming endgame but the way they gueer-bated sterek ?? Like even the cast themselves love the ship !

    I know! The amount of romantic-comedy tropes they threw at the two of them was ridiculous! Derek found acceptance and understanding in Stiles, and it wasn't instant. It was a long, hard earned battle. Hoechlin leaving definitely threw a wrench into everything, and I bet if this had been a Canadian show, Sterek would have happened.

    LITERALLY, and when Stiles put Derek’s name on the king, why is he more worried about Derek’s life than the life of his * childhood * best friend or the girl he said he was in love with since the third grade? Turns out Derek is more important to him? And when Derek takes Stiles as his anchor, we know anchors are a love interest bc of the power of human love scene, so why did nothing happen between them???

    For me Teen Wolf is the Definition of Wasted Potential, The First 3 Seasons for me are Where the show was at it's Peak. Sure it was silly and ridiculous in the Beginning but Season 3 is where it changed into truly compelling Televison at least IMO. Stiles for me is the Main Reason why i Love the show so much, Despite Seasons 4,5 and 6 being a huge dumpster fire that progressively got Over complicated and Boring all the way to the End I Still watched the Show for Stiles even though my other favorite character Derek Left after Season 4. I Always Shipped Stiles and Derek from the Beginning when i first watched the Show, I Don't really label myself Sexually and i just love who i love but i Identified with Stiles in Alot of Ways including his Sexuality even if its vaguely hinted at. Sterek for me Should have been Cannon and the fact that the Showrunners kept Dragging Fans through the Mud and kept teasing us with it is just Wrong imo. Queer baiting needs to Stop and More True representation of LGBT People should be in Media.

    Now that I think about it, Lydia did get around, didn't she. I think it's a case of not knowing how to allow a relationship to naturally develop onscreen. As for housing, I think it was addressed at some point. Both families were struggling for money. It was a season 4 plotline, I think. But I also don't think housing prices would be that terrible there. High crime (supernatural events) would drive property values down. Just my thoughts though.

    I feel like both Stiles and Scott are flood in their own way. Scott flaws are, he sets himself this little boundary or circle he has, refusing to grow. He thinks he’s reached peak, true alpha peak, I’m a good person, peak, righteous ass, who puts his pack in danger because he refuses to make the hard decision. (I will always hate what they did to Theo, because the one time he made a horrific decision, it made him no better than the people he was fighting) Stiles is flawed in a way that makes us care and freaking hurts.

It was further reinforcement of Stiles being bi. Also, I wonder if one of the major reasons they avoided making Sterek canon was because of the age difference. Even a few years was still too much to make it legal. (Although I guess this wouldn't have been a problem after Stiles turned 18.)

    ?? Stiles was in love with Lydia. Sterek was just white girl foolishness bc of Hoechlin's and O'Brien's onscreen chemistry. The Beckys keep claiming Stiles and Derek have chemistry. This isn't the case. The chemistry is between the actors but u can't explain this to loopy, clueless fan girls. Stiles' alleged bisexuality isn't a thing; he's vocally in love with Lydia. Sterek shippers are bizarre.
