Why do film makers not do any homework on practical makeup or social structure

[Xanderfox]

Someone the problem steams from the fact werewolves are fictional creatures so the "right" answer is subjective.
Appearance.
Is just slightly more canine features enough? Is full transformation into canine too much? How can anyone claim the werewolves look "correct" if their isn't anything to compare them too?
Behavior.
Again how much behavior is canine? How much is simian? Do they act like wolves in the wild who have a looser structure or wolves in captivity were a strict hierarchy is established? Cause sorry to burst your bubble but the whole alpha thing? Yea in wild packs there isn't an alpha or alpha pair that behavior only shows itself in captivity. Which means we have to ask, is being part of civilization enough like captivity to encourage that and then is it even the canine instincts that cause it or the strong hierarchy humans establish in relationships?
There are fascinating questions and would in fact greatly flesh out the world of the film... which explains why they rarely are touched upon. That requires deep thought, research and world building. Monster movies are not monster case studies, the creature is the threat, what the heroes must overcome or at least survive. Plot holes are inevitable and since werewolves aren't real on a effects level they don't have a "correct" look they need to aim for. This is why we get ones that look crappy but really aren't any less correct than ones that look awesome
