     For years, it was one of the most-watched shows among young people, offering a fair share of action, humor, drama, horror, ships (Stydia, anyone?) and frequent lessons on mythological creatures.

     Further, Stiles’ sarcastic agreement when Brunksi tells him that they’d be having this same conversation if he were dating Lydia, the band’s female drummer, is a further reiteration of this critique, directly referencing Teen Wolf’s support of the heterosexual Stiles/Lydia (Stydia) ship in contrast to its rejection of Sterek.
