The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes! (Muscle Growth Transformation)

Marvel has released this excerpt from one of its new animated projects, featuring Bruce Banner hulking out. A decent transformation, with lots of ballooning limbs, but I wonder why they never show his actual face transforming, as opposed to shots of his eyes. (And if you ask me, the Justice League better deserves the Mightiest Heroes title.)

Red: Werewolf Hunter

Red is a made-for-TV movie that will be airing on the SyFy channel on Oct. 30th. It's about a werewolf hunter whose fiancé (the very fine-looking Kavan Smith) contracts lycanthropy, and like most SyFy movies it's made on the cheap. You can see a new preview here. The werewolf designs look fine, but since this is SyFy, they're all in cheap CGI, so even we get a detailed TF scene it'll probably have that too-smooth, synthetic morphing look. Computer graphics on a  television budget simply can't give a real impression of transforming flesh--there's no real weight or texture to the images. Still, I wouldn't mind being proved wrong, so let's see what happens...

POST-SCRIPT: I was proved right, but not entirely. As I guessed, the transformations were in weightless CGI, but they were better than expected. Still, it'll be a while before computer graphics will ever suggest the same  weight and sensual, tactile quality as animatronics and prosthetics. There were three transformations of note, and a youtuber named weremaster1989 recorded all three of them. You can watch them here, here, and here.

Werewolf! (Indie comic series)

Hey kids, do you like indie comic? Do you like good indie comics? Do you like good indie comics about werewolves? You're in luck! Werewolves! is a two (soon to be three) issue anthology of lycanthrope-related comic vignettes. I own and can heartily recommend the extant issues, which you can buy here. Plus, you can see a comic from the upcoming third issue, which (naturally) features a dude wolfing out during the full moon.

Naruto (Weretiger Transformation)

Naruto is one of those corny animes that everyone under 16 is crazy about. Kids these days...

Anyway, episode 146 of this silly show features a character called Mizuki who transforms into a sort of tiger man. You can watch it on this very blog. (My thanks to the guys at the Musclegrowth.org forum, where I first learned of this video.)
