Random thought about UF tropes: werewolf packs—a not-uncommon plot is "pack B wants to come into pack A's territory, kill the males, and steal the females". (It's a very American sub-genre.)
But werewolves are human most of the time. They talk, they drive SUVs, they wear clothes. So why doesn't pack A simply load up with AR-15s, go round to pack B's clubhouse, and pop a cap in their ass? None of this bullshit alpha dominance wolf-fight nonsense, just good old-fashioned bullets!
