History YMMV / PeterIsTheWolf

* BrokenBase: The comic alternating between treating issues as comedy, deconstruction, and straight, can cause this. It's an IndecisiveParody, only it's an indecisive deconstruction of Ranma 1/2 style hijinks.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Hal the werebear is quickly gaining steam in the fanbase for his no-nonsense and aloof nature, and his penchant for humanist philosophy.
** Probably a lot of this is a result of there being a SFW version of the comic. The comic is designed primarily as porn, so many of the character relationships and interactions are there solely to set up the sex scenes, with the "joke" of Hal being that bears are a largely solitary species and so he quite literally does not give a fuck. In the censored version, this can make most of the other characters with speaking roles seem flighty, frivolous, and somewhat inconsistent while all of Hal's bits are still on-screen so he has a perfectly comprehensible character arc in both versions.
* FridgeBrilliance: Although Butch began the comic as the antagonist to Peter, later developments put her predicament in a whole new light. [[spoiler: She's interested in fashion design because Gus makes her walk around the house naked, she wants to hook up with Peter so she'd have an excuse to leave, Peter specifically turns her on because as a runt he's a completely nonthreatening and a genuinely nice boy, she's a {{Jerkass}} cause that's all she's ever known...]]

** Jean was being mean to Butch. Jean actually gets called on it at least once too.

** Also, Sarah to the fanbase, due to her reactions to the first part of this entry.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Jean teasing Butch about Peter "getting away" isn't the least bit funny once we learn about Butch's backstory. Also borderlines on HarsherInHindsight if you thought Jean was being a bit too barbed with her comments.

* WhatAnIdiot: So wait, your girlfriend's just upset cause she misunderstood your [[spoiler: near-rape]] as some sort of kinky sex game? Oh good, it means you can still get back with her. Oh hey, idea! You and your best friend (who you've already been cheating on Sarah with) should have consensual sex so she'll calm down. Wait, what?
** Averted - It was all in Jean's head. Peter actually denies Jean rather emphatically in reality. Jean compliments him on finally growing a spine at the most inconvenient time for her.

* CompleteMonster: [[TheSocialDarwinist Deputy Gus Cramer]] is a truly nasty piece of work who believes that the only value in anyone is in strength, and that the strong can and should take anything they want from anyone they can take it from. In his case, that includes [[DomesticAbuse killing his wife]], then [[AbusiveParents beating, molesting and raping his daughter]] Rebecca "Butch" Cramer for years, keeping her in his house as a SexSlave. He initially tried to keep her existence secret from the rest of the pack, and she had never left the house until they found out about her just before she should have been entering high school. Additionally, he has repeatedly tried to take over leadership of the pack, plans on taking Werewolf!Sarah as his new wife, and sold out his own kind by siccing TheMenInBlack on Peter, partly out of hatred for the existence of a runt and partly out of a desire to remove an object of his daughter's affection. Some time before the start of the comic, the pack held a vote on if he should be killed for their own safety. He only survived by two votes, both of which have later mentioned they wish they had voted differently, and the only reason they haven't held another vote is to keep unwanted attention away from the pack.

* HeartwarmingMoments: Several of the times when Peter shows his devotion to Sarah or her response can be seen as this.

* ValuesDissonance: Peter's parents - namely Walt - don't seem to understand why [[spoiler:Peter's near-rape]] is such a big deal. This is mainly ''because'' the wolf mentality is MightIsRight and the strong members of the pack have the right to claim any weaker member. Since Peter and Sarah, at this point, were not solid, it could be an accepted action. Jean even noted there was a old female member of the pack who tried to take Peter a few years back.

** Cue FridgeLogic as to why they don't just ''vote again''.
*** They did vote again - to remove him from the elder council. They can't kill him because rubbing out a sheriff's deputy would potentially cast unwanted light on the operation.

* EnsembleDarkhorse - Hal the werebear is quickly gaining steam in the fanbase for his no-nonsense and aloof nature, and his penchant for humanist philosophy.

* CompleteMonster: Gus. Lets count how many ways he goes over the MoralEventHorizon: He's apparently attempted repeatedly to take over the pack by murdering the cool old dude; it's heavily insinuated that he killed his wife; he has been beating, molesting and raping his daughter for years; he keeps said daughter in his house as a naked sex slave and when he's not busy raping her, he makes her do all the housework; she only leaves as much as she does cause the Pack found out about her when she should have been starting high school -- she was never allowed to leave the house before then; it's highly insinuated he plans on taking Werewolf!Sarah as his new wife; his ideas on human-werewolf interaction are less "lets hide" and more "lets eat"... It's so bad that the pack held a vote on if he should be killed for their own safety, he only survived by ''two votes'', both of which have later mentioned they wish they had voted differently.

* MoralEventHorizon: Butch attempting to rape Peter came close, but then she backed out (see CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest, on the main page), making her start to dance the line on this trope. Then we discover she was going this route due to [[FreudianExcuse her father raping her,]] repeatedly, after making her live as his own naked slavegirl for YEARS, putting her in some sorta weird and very dark Woobie status, and throwing her father (who was already a huge {{Jerkass}}) way past the horizon. Also, Sarah to the fanbase, due to her reactions to the first part of this entry.

** Jean's "cunning plan" to [[spoiler: get Peter and Sarah back together]] has been met with mixed reaction, mainly because it took quite a while to understand just how Jean's plan was supposed to work.

*** Cause technically speaking, he hasn't broken the rules again. They have no proof, anyway.
**** [[spoiler: He ''did'' get thrown off the elders council, at least.]]

* {{Ubermensch}}: Gus, believe it or not, was given an AlternateCharacterInterpretation as one of these. However, a quick look at this very site was enough to kill the theory.

** You know, it would make a lot of sense if she was just testing him.
* TheWoobie: Butch, amazingly enough, especially once you learn about just [[ItGotWorse how bad her home life really is.]]
** You can't help but feel bad for Sarah, too.
** Oh, Peter...
