On the last day of the holiday, Marvel finally launched the Halloween special "Dark Night Werewolf". The entire special is only 1 episode, and the length of the market is longer than the 40 minutes previously rumored, reaching 52 minutes. I believe many fans who have already watched it are generally clear. The core content of

is relatively simple. After Ulysses, the former owner of the "Bloodstone", died, the family summoned monster hunters from all sides to prepare for a hunting competition to compete for the new owner of the Bloodstone. Our male and female protagonists, Dark Night Hunter Jack and Elsa, were also launched.

Although there is only one episode of the special, there are still many highlights in the plot. Let’s still be the same. Let’s talk about what highlights are in this special with only one episode?

Note that there are a lot of spoilers involved in the front!

[1] Cause: The battle for bloodstone;

If you are a fan of the original comics, I believe that some of the characters and elements in this special should be familiar with. Among them, the core "Bloodstone" and the former owner Ulysses did not involve their origins in this special, but they were mentioned in the original.

can be roughly summarized as:

Elsa's father Ulysses was born in 8250 BC. During this period, a meteorite controlled by a transdimensional demon fell to the earth. In this meteorite, , actually hidden "blood stone".

However, at that time, this operation was just a dimensional demon in order to allow his agent on earth to obtain the bloodstone in the meteorite to conquer the earth. Later, Ulysses was lured by the demon's agent to become the bloodstone guardian, and was given immortality and superhuman abilities by the bloodstone.

But for this reason, the bloodstone also killed other people in the Ulysses tribe. Ulysses smashed the bloodstone directly. One of the fragments was accidentally embedded in Ulysses' chest, and the other fragments were scattered all over the world. Even for the fragments, Ulysses later used this to build the monster hunter name "Ulysses Bloodstone". Corresponding to the fact that the demon agent was secretly collecting the remaining fragments. Although Ulysses was still poached the fragments in his chest by the demon agent, and then prepared to let Ulysses die slowly, what no one expected was that with the remaining half breath, Ulysses eventually killed the demon agent.

At the same time, Ulysses during this period already had descendants, namely Elsa Bloodstone. Later, when Elsa grew up, the housekeeper gave her a mysterious bloodstone necklace connected to her, helping her awaken her true power, which made Elsa inherit the ancestral property of hunting monsters and vampires...

Of course, this is the setting of the Ulysses family in the original work. In this "Dark Night Werewolf", Elsa was set as a daughter who ran away from home a long time ago and wanted to escape from her father.

. The reason why I came back to compete for the bloodstone was to completely get rid of the influence of my father Ulysses with the help of the bloodstone (although Ulysses had already received a box lunch during this period~) .

[2] Werewolf Jack disguised as hunters;

Werewolf Jack, who can be called the Monster Hunter Base Camp, came to the werewolf Jack, who took the risk in the special episode. This time, the reason why he appeared in the special episode is actually related to the "human-like body". The two were set to become close friends. This time they appeared to rescue the human-like body that was regarded as the test target of the hunting battle.

From a plot point of view, Jack rescues human bodies not as simple as once or twice~

And in the entire battle, Jack, who pretends to be a hunter, unexpectedly got together with Elsa. Because of the different goals, the two decided to cooperate with each other. Jack only wanted to rescue his friends, while Elsa only wanted to make a blood stone.

The entire cooperation was originally relatively smooth, and in this process, the official launch of the humanoid body also showed similar abilities as in the original work, that is, touching the target can instantly incinerate the target. In the entire special series, the humanoid body was exerted twice in succession.

One-time beard;

One-time Elsa's stepmother Virusa;

Although most of the shots in the entire special are retro black and white, this retro texture burning visual effect still makes people feel a little stunning.

Of course, for humanoids, I have introduced it several times earlier. In the origin of the original work, it is a human biochemist Ted. After developing the super serum, he was targeted by the villain A.I.M. After destroying all the experimental data, Ted escaped with the only remaining serum.

But he was surrounded halfway and accidentally broke into the swamp. Before being completely sunk by the swamp, Tate injected himself with serum, combining it with the mysterious energy deep in the swamp, becoming the later humanoid body!

Of course, because the length of "Dark Night Werewolf" is limited, it does not show the origin of the humanoid body, but it may also be that Marvel adapted the humanoid body setting and defined it as a pure monster from the beginning. However, the name of "Ted" of the humanoid body this time pays tribute to the original setting.

Let’s talk about the plot again -

After saving the humanoid body, when Jack reached out to pick up the bloodstone, he was rejected by the bloodstone because he was a monster. This directly exposed Jack’s werewolf’s identity and was caught by Elsa’s stepmother Verusa and others. Because he didn’t like Elsa himself, Verusa also directly shocked Elsa and locked the two together!

【3】The werewolf appears and the killing begins;

Originally, Virusa wanted to use the bloodstone to kill people with a knife, so that the werewolf can appear and kill Aretha in the cage, and then use the bloodstone to kill the werewolf, so that he can control the bloodstone himself.

But Virusa obviously underestimated the ability of the Dark Night werewolf after exposing the prototype. After some operation, the werewolf directly tore the steel cage and started a bloody massacre!

This battle setting also fully demonstrates the reason why "Dark Night Werewolf" has raised the limit level this time, because in this setting, it is also a blessing that it uses retro black and white style, otherwise the settings such as headshots, tearing the belly, blood splashing on the screen will be even more impactful. Then, this is the R-level indicator that has not been eliminated.

Of course!

The whole plot setting I mentioned earlier, it is relatively simple, basically according to the process, it is -

Bloodstone competition - cooperation between male and female protagonists - identity of male protagonists was exposed - stepmother wants to kill two kills with one knife - male protagonist explodes - female protagonist is saved and becomes the final winner.

It is worth mentioning that at the end, as Elsa got the bloodstone, the entire black and white style began to have color. Even the scene where humanoid and Dark Night werewolf Jack sat in the deep forest was a modern style. It is estimated that this is also paving the way for the introduction of these two characters in the Marvel Cinema Universe later.

In general, the various indexes of "Dark Night Werewolf":

Thriller index: ★★★; (not too thriller)

Blood index: ★★★★; (This is definitely something that Marvel hasn't seen before)

Plot index: ★★★; (The plot is very simple)

Point index: ★★★★; (Human-like body is a good focus)

Of course, what I want to complain about is that although we say that this dark night werewolf has restored the comic to a certain extent, in the main film, at some moments, the fighting scenes of this werewolf are really a bit -
