eurgh no to supernatural!Stiles. That doesn't work for so many reasons; because it's against his character as established, for one, and for another a lot of his appeal is rooted in his identity as a human struggling to cope in a non-human world. The danger of his situation intensifies our perception of his loyalty to Scott and his bravery, because he sticks around despite the fact that he could just quit. If he were a werewolf, or a witch or what have you, he'd be sucked into that world -- his participation would no longer be voluntary, and thus not as reckless nor courageous. Similarly, he and Scott work as a duo because Scott is the moral force, and Stiles is the pragmatist willing to put morals aside; also by and large Stiles contributes his intelligence and Scott contributes his strength (physical and of heart). They're well-balanced. If Stiles were the wolf, he'd seem somewhat overpowered.

I like Scott. I think he gets an unfair amount of hate because fans tend to prioritize the goals dictated by the plot (such as stop the alpha), and Scott often prioritizes Allison over the plot. He also exists in a narrative that rewards noble idealism, whereas I feel many fans tend to side with the more amoral but highly pragmatic Stilinski & Hale method of problem-solving: kill it. The text's insistence on Scott's noble character means some fans feel that we're supposed to accept his flaws as positive attributes. (I personally find that kind of flaw much more irritating than a flaw the text acknowledges as a personality problem.) Overall, though, I think these factors create a downward-trending hate spiral for Scott that he doesn't deserve. He's a good hero and a good kid.

Yeeees. I mean, I haven't actually watched the show so no one should care about my opinion but yesss. No to a canonically supernatural!Stiles.

I know the whole idea of "supernatural!Stiles" gets WAAAAAY ramped up in fandom, and fics., but... Isn't he technically already at least a tiny-bit supernatural, or magical, or whatever? (at least in passing) On account of the mountain ash, and his ability to manipulate it; and all the "belief" bru-ha-ha? Also, I like Scott. I was very surprised by just how poorly he gets treated in fandom. So many people portray him as being maybe the biggest jerk-wad ever in fanworks.
