I really, really miss the blue eyes. Like a lot. I do like the idea of his eyes going green though. It'd be easier for the effects guys, anyway. Also, I'm wondering if the Alpha's eyes are red because the power was corrupted by Peter's influence.
The blue eyes were so good. The effects guys should be ridiculously proud, because I wanted Derek to wolf out all the time just so his eyes could be blue. And I don't think they're going to make his eyes go back to blue, so I'd much rather settle for his eyes being green.
That might be it (and would give plausibility to eyes changing colors while he's an Alpha), I hadn't thought of that. I just figured it was homage to all the myths about red-eyed werewolves and the original Teen Wolf.
Oh god, yes. The first time his eyes flashed blue, I think I whimpered. Though honestly, Derek wolfing out is pretty damn hot, period. Green, though. Yeah, I'm on board for that.
That's the thing, though. All the red-eyed monsters have been just that: monsters. They've killed and slaughtered without compunction. And can you imagine Laura with red eyes? It just doesn't seem to fit. I really hope the red eye thing will be temporary with Derek.
I don't understand how he's so attractive when he wolfs out. When he wolfs out it's a bit Karl Urban's face for me, because while all the individual parts are attractive, they shouldn't be attractive together and yet they so are. (Also, Derek wolfing out--minus the fangs--it how Wolverine should look. And on that unrelated subject, I would kill to see how Hoechlin would play Wolverine.)
And can you imagine Laura with red eyes?
That's the major problem that I have with Derek having red eyes, because I really can't. But I also don't know that I would feel the same way if we had seen a sane Alpha before we saw Peter and associated the whole monster connotation to the color.
Right? When I realized that his eyes were actually going to stay red, I was wailing at my computer, like, "Noooooo what are you doing? No no nonono, change them back." Which is probably why I haven't actually mentioned Derek having red eyes in any of my fics (at least, I don't think I have).
You know what? It'd be a really good survival adaption for Derek too, since he's got green eyes normally. He could be all, "oh, it's just the lighting" if he accidentally eye-wolfed.
