But the vamps in blade were only vunerable to silver and sunlight. So why make the werewolves vulnerable to everything?
Having them science based can be cool, want to expand on your idea into a little movie synopsis?
Like: World war 2 german scientists were exprimenting with gene splicing, trying to create schock troops to turn back the advancing allies. Out of thousands of experiments only a handful of seriums proved useful. These three seriums created monstrous shock troopers, but each with a side effect. the 1st had the bodies working at such a high degree, that it burned out the higher brain functions due to the fever, but enabled them to take massive amounts of damage before becoming disabled (zombies!!), the 2nd brought the temperature down, to below human norm, but caused their skin to be come super-sensitive to UV (Vampires!!), the final serium was given not to humans but to the german shepards, to increase brain power and body mass, thus creating (werewolves!!) well ok, the werewolf wouldn't technically be able to shapeshift - but would still be cool.

The Ginger Snaps werewolf was science based but didn't explain were they come from and American Werewolf wasn't killed by silver bullets.

True, I was just going on the reference material you used when comparing the science based werewolf vs the science based vampire, and didn't understand why you didn't want the werewolves to have their immunities the same as the vamps have.
On a little side note, would you prefer science based vampires to be vulnerable to normal forms of attack?
I always class American Werewolf as supernatural, rather than science based. From a science base I prefer the werewolves not to be able to change back and forth, but for it to be more like a metamorphosis as it was in Ginger Snaps. For me just the amount of energy and waste material that would be needed to be able to transform back and forth makes it unbelievable outside of a supernatural cause. So the way they did it in Ginger Snaps and Wolf for me is probably the ideal way of doing a scientific based werewolf.
I think I rambled there a bit.

The gravitational pull of the moon causes the transformation, the transformation could be like their skin shedding off, when going back to human form hair falls out.

About a werewolf villain who's like Gaston or Cal Hockley or the jock characters in teen dramas have his motivation be using his lycanthropy to get revenge on his Leo like rival for biting him and making his trophy girlfriend leave him.

Have a werewolf villain like Gaston or Jim from Edward Scissorhands who starts off as an arrogant jerk but becomes jealous and violent when the female protagonist fall in love with the main protagonist.

I see a pattern with your ideas jamish23. So would your list idea be in the style of Edward Scissorhands or have a different look to it?

Werewolf villain who starts off as an arrogant jerk but he becomes jealous and violent when the female protagonist fall in love with the main protagonist who bit him.

Set in the future, when mankind is exploring deep space using hybernation tubes and near lightspeed travel.
One such ship of colonists land on a new planet. It is only unfortunate that one of their number was actually a werewolf, who'd signed up to get away from the 'moon' and thus hopefully be beyond it's triggering his transformations.
It's just a shame this planet has 3 moons, each causing a slightly different transformation when they are full.
A sequal would be when due to the moons orbits there is coming a time when all three moons will be full in the night sky together.

Treating werewolfism as a biological condition and not just a supernatural affliction, a virus that alters your DNA, if they took a blood test the doctor would find a extra strain he can't make a guess about.

My point is treating werewolfism as a biological condition and not just a supernatural affliction, try and explain why they transform at a full moon, it's not a mystical curse but a virus that alters you DNA. People are attempting to being a superficial or scientific reality to supernatural creatures like vampires and werewolves.

Do more werewolves fighting each other like Jack Nicholson and James Spader.

The moons causes sea tides to raise en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TideIf you gonna do a science based werewolf like Blade vampires have them changing at different phases of the moon like Ted said in Bad Moon and die by conventional means.
