But it still doesn't make sense for her to loose ALL control and rationality when she's a werewolf.
Think of it in this vein, of this was the same for all were's, how come Peter acts NO different in werewolf form as he does in human form? By the comics logic, Peter should take on wolfish quirks, no matter HOW much control he has. Its like the arguement I gave with somebody taking steroids, they are still cognative, they just act differently.
When all the other werewolves in the pack act the same as werewolves as they do humans and only Sarah drops 2 billion IQ points, the logic the comic ITSELF is putting down does not make any valid connections.
Right now Sarah isn't acting as something thats being influenced by instincts, its becoming a completely different personality and mindset. Peter when he wolfs out is no different then he is when he is human, neither is any of the other weres, its just Sarah that becomes, again, a retard.
The comics logic of instinct influencing action does not pan out in its own execution. If suddenly I become a werewolf, and had the urge to chase cars, I would act on the urge to chase cars. But at the same time, I could still talk and think, I could still communicate and ration my actions. If turning into a werewolf cranked my sex drive to a billion and one and made me a horny freak, I could STILL manage to communicate my lust and still be able to FUNCTION.
Sarah's behavior as of now does not follow the comics very guidelines its set out to maintain, and as of RIGHT NOW her behavior has nothing to do with the comics definition of instinct govererning actions, her behavior is right now outside the bubble and is given up to comedic license, she's not acting that way because her instincts are controlling her, she's acting that way as of comedic license.
When she wolfs out, she's the exception to the governing rule laid out by all the shown interactions of all the other were's, she acts the way she does out of artistic license, that when she wolfs out, she IS the exception to the comics logic and is just ment to become giant, big and stupid. And like I said, this is abusing the character as is.
Right now when she wolfs out, it does not make any valid sense to the comics logic. Like I said, if say I wolfed out made me extreamly violent, I could still convey my feelings in actions and words like "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU ALL!" instead of losing my personality.
Right now, Sarah is pulling a Hulk, when she turns into a were, her personality is COMPLETELY offset by a second personality. These two personalitys interact with each other on a medium, as both are aware of the other, but thats the limit of their interaction. When Bruce turns into the Hulk, its not Bruce in control, its a completely different personality in control. Thats what is happening to Sarah ATM, when she wolfs out, she's not being goverened by instincts, she's completely changing personalitys, and THIS is what flies in the face of the comics instincts governing behavior.
If it was just instincts governing behavior, when Sarah wolfs out and turned into a playful sex machine, she could still convey herself, like, picking up Peter sexually and going "Peter I can't control myself.....I need you now....help me....", THAT is how instincts govern your reactions. If you took a bunch of extasy, you can still FUNCTION ON SOME LEVEL, you may be acting out on instincts and reactions out of your control, but you are still interacting. I can still ask you your name, how you are feeling, if you feel ok and so on.
Sarah does NOT follow this train of thought thats been laid down in the comic of instincts and control, like I said, when Sarah wolfs out, she's not being controlled by instincts, she's being replaced by a completely NEW personality. If I took extasy, I don't suddenly forget my name, how old I am and how to talk now do I?
So, right now yes, Sarah's wolfing out is that of comedic license, but like I said, its been driven into the ground like a trail spike and then some, about now we should start to see some ACTUAL personalitys being altered by instincts.
Again, instincts do not CONTROL your actions, they GOVERN your actions. If I drank alot of beer, and my instincts to my decency are thrown out the window and I start hitting on every person in the bar, THATS a example of altered instincts changing my reactions.
If sarah when turning into a wolf, has a uncontrolable sex drive, she should act LIKE Sarah WITH a uncontrolable sex drive, pressing herself against peter and telling him she can't control herself, not become a NEW personality.
