Alpha and Omega Fandom - Wolfaboos with a love for shitty direct-to-video sequels.

The grammar was surprisingly decent for a My Immortal level of degeneracy, save for the 'jazzing', the run-on sentences, and the numerous exclamation points.

I'm choosing to interpret that literally. The two titular characters are doing the horizontal monster mash when the suddenly freeze and Jazz starts to play in their heads.

I remember seeing a video from them, I'll see if I can find it.
 
Oh god finally! A thread where I can tell everyone about Alpha and Omega!
Here's some backstory on the series, since I have no life but to keep up with straight-to-netflix animation:

Okay, so: first film, 2010. Just some furry Romeo and Juliet ripoff, loser-and-hot-girl story, like was weirdly popular with kids films then(Both Rio and Gnomeo and Juliet were bizarrely successful). Churned out to try and capitalize on that market for a quick buck, all of the animation is such shit because it was almost entirely outsourced to some Indian bond company. They weren't trying to make the next big thing.

Movie fails. No one hears of it for years. At this point, the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies were still quite fresh, and widely successful, so the emo pseudo-furry preteens latched onto that. End of story? Obviously not.

2013.
A new movie, a Holiday special was released: Really a testing of the waters for the series. The key producers of the first film had money in their eyes when they saw the inexplicable cult fandom that had stabilized, somehow, and the new following of emo deviantArt preteens who didnt give a shit about some screeching rodents anymore. They wanted something new. Cool. Hip. Wulfie, UwU.

New film grabbed the fans' attention. They're still listening, and they're hooked to the idea of new Alpha and Omega, even if it features the most horrifying, terrible "wolf pups" ever created, by God, by Man, by anything.

The sequel makes its Saltine-sized budget back, in probably the most successful display of flagrant corporate pandering I've ever seen. I can only imagine the producers sitting in their boardroom: "There's no goddamn way those internet wolf people actually bought into this horrible, horrible christmas special trash. It's literally just the first movie, but shorter, and somehow worse! There's no way we can really make a franchise off this!" So they make a third film, a non-Christmas Special, one with a whole new plot, one to really introduce the characters of this work of art.

Also successful.

Lionsgate immediately commissions 5 more films from the Indian bond company, each with a budget of approximately 10 rubles, for their new promising B-line series. And, of course, since at this point, the series isn't really being made for children anymore: it gets kind of weird, and experimental at the end. They don't just rehash stereotypical plotlines in Alpha and Omega: The Extended Universe. The last 6 movies are some of the greatest, fanfiction horseshit, and they were all written by one guy, probably within a weekend.

For now, this seems to be the end of the Alpha and Omega series, but they'll honestly probably come back with 5 more movies. Maybe they're just taking a break so the Indians can make some models of the pups all-grown-up, so they can have teen romance adventures, or some shit... which uh... actually, they already had. The third film has a Twilight-esque love triangle with the daughter pup and some bad boy wolf kid from another tribe or something, I think.

I absolutely recommend watching the entire series, it's really not hard to find on YouTube. It's fucking terrible.

I remember seeing the trailer for Alpha and Omega years ago and immediately thinking to myself, "Welp. This is gonna get a fandom". The movie looked like bottom of the barrel, bargain bin rubbish you'd see at Walmart, but the plot of the film all but guaranteed it a degenerate fanbase. It's literally about two wolves that want to mate with each other. I didn't watch the film, but the trailer made that plot point real fucking clear from the outset.

One of the lines I recall hearing from the trailer basically summed that point up: "We're from two different packs. We can run together, but that doesn't mean we howl together"

Get it? They's talkin' bout FUCKIN!

I watched the movie somewhat recently in a drunken bad movie marathon, and you're actually so right it's upsetting. The main plot of the film is about a how loser Omega male can't howl with his Alpha female childhood friend. Howling is a straight metaphor for fucking and the film makes no effort to hide it. There's one scene after the two leads howl on a train and the she-wolf was so clearly in afterglow (laying down under a spotlight while the main character talks about how hot she is) that she might as well've been smoking a cig.

Even better was the B plot about an alpha wolf who was hot shit but couldn't howl, which I can only assume meant he had erectile dysfunction. His entire plot involved the other female lead going up to him and going, "Nah dude, it's cool, nothing to be embarrassed about. Look, I know you can't get your bark boner up but I'll guide your vocal hips fam, we'll be barking at the moon like it was 1983 and Ozzy Osbourne's headlining the venue."

tl;dr, the film is thinly veiled furry porn for children. That's the only reason I can imagine it getting fucking SEVEN sequels. It might still be up on netflix if you want to see how to market bestiality to a tween demographic.

Thought that first cover said "DINO DICKS" and nearly spat my drink.
