[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 1135310, member: 1194"] See, I (slightly) don't agree. Just because Selene was the focus of the story and onscreen a significant portion of time, doesn't mean to me that she needs to kill Viktor. In fact, it was not even until the very end that she held anything but the utmost respect for the guy. The STORY spent most of its time forwarding the idea that an Abomination was going to kill Viktor - almost Fate-like. So it's kind of characterization vs plot/story there - should the character aspects be rewarded, or the plot? I strongly am on the side of plot, since I don't think characterization is done well enough in most movies - not enough time to create a character, PLUS Selene wasn't a classic "growth" character. What "journey" did her character make? I didn't see much growth there - she was a Death Dealer at the beginning, and she's a Death Dealer at the end. All she did was move her hatred of who killed her family from the Lycans to Viktor - no big change there. I agree that I was glad not to see a 'Rocky' move from Micheal. I would have preffered to see him just slice up Viktor, but it's a good point about new-found powers vs. tons of skill and practice. This wasn't a typical single-protagonist movie. In fact, if the story was really good, I would have preferred to see the true protagonist/victim, _LUCIAN_, be given center-stage at the end and have become the Abomination himself to get Revenge on Viktor for killing his love. THAT would have been very impressive, and they were THAT close to doing it, but they wimped out and went with Michael as the Abomination. It's too bad, because the story was leading up to it, too. :( [/QUOTE]
