''Teen Wolf: The Movie'' is a 2023 {{sequel}} to the MTV series ''[[Series/TeenWolf Teen Wolf]]'' on Paramount+. Per the [=IMDb=] description: “A terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves howl once again, but only a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolf]] like Scott [=McCall=], can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy.” [[TimeSkip Fifteen years after]] the events of the series, Scott and his scattered pack return to [[WeirdnessMagnet Beacon Hills]] to rescue [[TheBusCameBack Allison]], who is stuck in the veil. Meanwhile, their old nemesis the Nogitsune has been reawakened by [[spoiler: their presumed-dead chemistry teacher]] and is terrorizing the town. When Allison is resurrected, she has no episodic memory but still remembers being a werewolf hunter and tries to kill Derek and his son Eli, who despite being a werewolf still hasn’t learned how to shift. Also, they play lacrosse and they can swear now. See [[Series/TeenWolf the main page]] for tropes it has in common with the rest of the series, this page focuses on things specific to the movie.

* TimeSkip: The movie takes place at least 15 years after the events of the finale.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite their growth as a threat the end of season 6, the fates of Monroe and her hunter army aren't mentioned at all.

--> '''Jackson:''' What do detectives even do, anyway? Do they go to the scene of the crime and... detect stuff?

* TheMovie

** Hikari (who’s name is an anagram for Hi Kira) is a kitsune who’s good with a sword, though we don’t learn much more about her.

-->'''Jackson:''' Whoa whoa whoa, I have a tail. No one’s planning on stealing my tail, right?

--> '''Noah: ''' God damn it, I knew I should’ve retired.

* HaveWeMet:

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Jackson [[{{Lampshading}} lampshades]] this:
--> '''Jackson: ''' “Supposed to be dead” is starting to be a recurring theme around here.

** '''Rick: ''' Look, all I wanna know is, who is Allison?
** '''Allison: ''' Where’s the Alpha? Where’s Derek Hale?

--> [[spoiler: '''Lydia: ''' Jackson, do you know what rowan trees become after they’re burned?\\

** '''[[spoiler: Harris]]: ''' Tell us why you left Stiles.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: One of the strongest villians we ever faced is back and Allison is alive again, time to [[BaseballEpisode play some lacrosse]]!

* AmnesiacLover: Allison doesn’t remember anyone in the Pack, including her ex Scott.

** [[spoiler: Harris]] encircles [[spoiler: the lacrosse stadium]] in a visual callback to Stiles [[Recap/TeenWolfS02E08Raving doing the same thing]].

** Despite being Derek’s son, Eli is almost exactly like Stiles (to [[HoYay/TeenWolf some fans’ delight]]): he’s obsessed with the Jeep, awkward, a benchwarmer, antagonistic towards Derek, closer to human than the rest of the pack, seemingly motherless, sarcastic, faints easily…

** Stiles gets this to an extent; Eli claims that Derek told him Scott almost had to [[ItsALongStory cut off his arm]], but that was Stiles.

* TimmyInAWell: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]: the rescuers call the ''[[WerewolvesAreDogs Lassie]]'' to get Alicia and [[AndYourLittleDogToo and her dog]] out of the pit.

* TimmyInAWell: Inverted: the rescuers call the [[WerewolvesAreDogs ''dog'']] to get the kid [[AndYourLittleDogToo and her dog]] out of the pit.
* Title Drop:

'''Jackson: '''' Ash?\\

* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Jackson [[Lampshading lampshades]] this:

** [[spoiler: Harris]] somehow didn’t die when [[spoiler: Jennifer sacrificed him to the Nemeton]], which raises some [[Retcon confusion]] about how the rest of that plan came off if [[spoiler: he’s]] not dead.

* Retcon: a frustrating amount
** Despite not knowing he’s a kitsune, Ishida apparently has nine tails automatically, whereas Kira had to earn her first tail, and it’s implied kitsune gain tails with age. So either Ishida’s secretly [[OlderThanHeLooks]] or they forgot.

** Despite the fact the shujendo scroll specified that such a bite would change the host when [[Recap/TeenWolfS03E22TheDivineMove Scott bit the Nogitsune]], apparently instead [[spoiler: that bite now made the Nogitsune a kitsune/wolf hybrid that doesn’t need a host.]]

* Riddles: [[ExaggeratedTrope Even for the Nogitsune]], who liked to speak in riddles in season 3B, he goes through a ''lot'' of them, so much so that Deaton can tell [[spoiler: Chris is possessed]] because the Nogitsune cannot refuse to answer a riddle.

** Allison by virtue of being [[NakedOnRevival]]

* SuddenlyBilingual: Liam speaks Japanese now, though with the [[TimeSkip]] it makes sense considering he lives in Japan.

* UnsafeHaven: Sure, let’s just put a 1000-year-old chaos demon on the shelf of a crowded bar next to a bunch of similar-looking jars, [[WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong]]?

** --> '''Rick: ''' Look, all I wanna know is, who is Allison?
** --> '''Allison: ''' Where’s the Alpha? Where’s Derek Hale?
** [[spoiler: --> '''Lydia: ''' Jackson, do you know what rowan trees become after they’re burned?\\

** --> '''[[spoiler: Harris]] ''' Tell us why you left Stiles.

--> '''Other Team’s Coach: ''' ''Where did this kid come from? Is he even in high school? […] He looks like he’s 30. ''

--> '''Derek: ''' ''Eli did you see that? Did you see your eyes? ''\\
'''Eli: ''' ''How the hell am I supposed to see my eyes, they’re the things I use to see? ''

--> '''Lydia: ''' ''Ohh, I missed you. ''\\
'''Malia: ''' ''I missed you too. ''\\
'''Lydia: ''' ''No you didn’t. ''\\
'''Malia: ''' ''Okay but I wanted to. ''\\
'''Lydia: ''' ''Now that I believe. ''

-->'''Jackson:''' '' Whoa whoa whoa, I have a tail. No one’s planning on stealing my tail, right?''

--> '''Nogitsune: ''' ''Tell me Eli, do you like riddles? ''\\
'''Eli: ''' ''I’m more of a limerick guy, y’know, I like the rhyming. ''

--> '''Scott: ''' ''Because that’s what the Nogitsune wants: [[spoiler: he wants me to die in your arms this time.]] ''

--> '''Noah: ''' ''He still seems pretty intent on leaving high school with a grand theft auto charge. ''

--> '''Jordan: ''' ''It’s more of a “you look really hot holding a tactical tomahawk” look. ''

--> '''Allison: ''' ''We hunt those who hunt us. […] We protect those who cannot protect themselves.''

--> '''Noah: ''' ''God damn it, I knew I should’ve retired. ''

--> '''Derek: ''' ''You don’t know who my son is, do you? ''\\
'''Finstock: ''' ''I don’t know who ''you'' are. ''

* [[IHateYouVampireDad I Hate You Werewolf Dad]]!: Eli doesn’t want to be a werewolf and it causes tension between him and his father.
--> '''Noah: ''' ''Why the hell does he keep taking the [[ProductPlacement Jeep]]? ''\\
'''Derek: ''' ''Because he knows I hate it. ''

--> '''Lydia: ''' ''Banshees don’t scream, [[OurBansheesAreLouder they wail]]. ''

--> '''Peter: ''' ''I’ve been known to light a spark or two in my time. ''
* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler: Derek and the Nogitsune.]]
* KillTheLights: The lights in the Sheriff’s station flicker when the Oni arrive.

* LongBusRide: Stiles and Kira don’t come back.

* MeaningfulGift: [[Noah gives Eli the Jeep after Derek dies.]]
--> [[spoiler: '''Eli: ''' ''He hated that Jeep'']]\\
[[spoiler: '''Noah: ''' '' After my son left it behind, Derek towed it in, thinking it was probably beyond repair. But then he opened up the hood and he pulled off all the duct tape Stiles had stuck on it, and he managed to fix it. That Jeep, no matter what’s been done to it, it just keeps running. He could never figure out why it wouldn’t break down and stay down. And I don’t think he ever realized that that’s exactly the way we saw him. I have never seen anyone take the kind of punishment that Derek Hale took and kept taking in order to protect the people he loved. He kept going. He kept standing back up until the day he couldn’t. Hey, your dad had complicated feelings about that Jeep, but it doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated for you. All you gotta do is keep it running. Just keep it going. '']]
* Morton’s Fork: Allison chases Scott to the edge of a cliff.

--> '''Finstock: ''' ''I haven’t felt this level of disappointment since I lost my virginity. ''

* OhShit:

* [[OurWolvesAreDifferent]]: Werewolves, we have them.

** The oni use their swords to slash the tires on Liam and Hikari’s car.

--> '''Jackson: ''' ''“Supposed to be dead” is starting to be a recurring theme around here. ''

--> '''Scott:''' ''Shit, dude.''

--> [[spoiler: '''Fenris: ''']] ''Trust me, we’ve heard plenty of stories about teenage werewolves. ''

** --> '''Rick: ''' ''Look, all I wanna know is, who is Allison?''
** --> '''Allison: ''' ''Where’s the Alpha? Where’s Derek Hale? ''
** [[spoiler: --> '''Lydia: ''' ''Jackson, do you know what rowan trees become after they’re burned?''\\
'''Jackson: '''' ''Ash? ''\\
'''Lydia: ''' ''Mountain Ash. '']]
** --> '''[[spoiler: Harris]] ''' ''Tell us why you left Stiles.''

--> '''Deaton: ''' ''Bardo is a Tibetan word, it’s a means of interpreting death and the movements of consciousness between physical states of being. It’s just a word, it’s a concept.''
