Until the ending this is literally just a video game cutscene about a furry kid saying "grr let me join the military I want to help kill brown people too"
If "the Taliban weren't supposed to have werewolves," isn't the best line you've ever heard then get out of my face.

-Flop die mich nervigen Stereotypen
-Flop der mir wenig zusagende Animationsstil
Fazit: Ein Werwolffilm spielend im Golfkrieg – was für eine Idee die gerne weitergesponnen werden dürfte.

Today: Love, Death & Robots: Shape-Shifters
Hi everybody, we have to admit that we are not the biggest "Underworld" fans, but if the films were just a little more like this episode, the opposite would be the case. "Shape-Shifters" positions werewolves as trackers in the army similar to Native Americans a few hundred years ago and shows that squad mates who take literally a bullet for the others face not only appreciation and acknowledgment. Racism in the army is not subtle but beastly presented by bringing fantasy and the fantastical into our modern world and order. The idea of werewolves serving in the army and making their skills available to…
Another circle jerk to flaunt the cutting edge animation. Got absolutely nothing out of it and I've already forgot the whole episode. Moving on.
The message is clear - people are afraid of things they don't know. People hate what they don't understand.
Shape Shifters episode of Love, Death & Robots is a good enough serving - with delectable protagonists, side characters worth giving a second look, a plot that could be further explored and clear visuals. However, the story doesn't know where to head, abruptly ending in the most detached way possible.
''woof bark''
A great concept executed in the most boring way possible.
Why wasn't this an exploitation film set in Vietnam, with an insane werewolfpack—with the sniper and the heavy weapons guy and the explosives guy—led by a Native American werewolf in a bandana, hunting some Cambodian drug kingpin who has a pair of female werewolf bodyguards with katanas?
Or why wasn't it Nazis in Siberia getting picked off by snow white Russian werewolf guerrillas?
Or just something that wasn't so lame, self-serious, and boring.
Also this realistic 3D is ugly as sin, and i have no idea why like 75% of the shorts so far have opted for it over a more stylised style of animation.
Bad. Just bad.
