Teen Wolf or The Vampire Diaries

Teen Wolf or The Vampire Diaries
The age old battle between Vampires and Werewolves has always been there. Most notable being Team Edward or Team Jacob.

In the TV verse this battle goes on between CW's The Vampire Diaries and MTV's Teen Wolf.The Vampire Diaries follows the love triangle of Elena Gilbert,a human doppelgänger and the Salvatore brothers who are vampires,on the other hand Teen Wolf follows the story of a social outcast Scott McCall who gets bitten by a werewolf.

1.Types of supernatural creatures-
Since both the shows are supernatural dramas various different types of creatures are featured. While in TVD main focus is the vampires, werewolves and the witches. Vampire-werewolf hybrids and witch-werewolf hybrids also exist.
                                                        Meanwhile in TW like the name suggests the main focus is on werewolves, but as the series progressed many different creatures like kanima,nogitsune,Were-coyote,kitsune,hellhound,were-jaguar and banshee were introduced.

So, I think Teen Wolf wins this round due to sheer number of supernatural creatures.

2.Better Villains-
Although TW had some amazing villains in Jackson as Kanima and Void Stiles, TVD has the perfect combination in bad-ass,likeable,and crazy in Katherine,Klaus,Kai respectively.

So, The Vampire Diaries wins this round.

3,Friendships-
Both these shows had some amazing friendships over the years, but I think in TVD Elena's friendship weakened quite a lot due to her romance with the Salvatore brothers, meanwhile in TW Stiles helped Scott quite a lot to become the true alpha he is today.

So, this round is won by Teen Wolf mainly due to Stiles being an awesome friend and like a brother to Scott.

4.Romance-
Although Scott and Allison were the Romeo and Juliet, Stiles and Lydia had amazing development, the chemistry between Elena and Damon as well as Caroline and Klaus were off the charts.
Delena and Klaroline


So, the vampires win this round.

5.Acceptance of the LGBTQ Community-
Even though TVD had same sex couples in the later seasons, from its creation in 2011 TW has had open gay and Bisexual characters and couples. Also in TVD they had no important role in the overall plot, while in TW Mason and Corey play important roles.

So hands down,Teen Wolf wins this round.

So its clear that Teen Wolf has won today.

  1. Vampire diaries...duh!!
    1] In teen wolf the main focus was on werewolf but there were additional creatures. just like that in tvd the main focus is on vampires, witches and werewolves but there were additional creatures and you just mentioned some of them. creatures in tvd u did not mention are- sirens, siphons, doppelgangers, hunters, psychics, the devil, immortals[silas], rippers, heretics, warlocks, shamans, the original, the hollow.
    3] friendships, elena was not the only character. Caroline and Stefan, Alaric and Damon, Stefan and Lexi, Bonnie and Damon...you forgot them. these friendships are like bff goals...
    and 5] there was Nora and Mary Louise
    so the vampire diaries is the winner!!
