I know Teen Wolf is officially over but I have a question that was never answered. Why was it when Scott McCall became a True Alpha werewolf, he never gained the Alpha strength? Aside from the fact that Scott's eyes turned red there was nothing that really changed once he became an Alpha.
Maybe being a True Alpha doesn't really bring any significant change because by the end of the series he was still relatively at the strength level he was in the first season. He certainly wasn't as strong as Derek Hale, Peter Hale or any of the other Alphas shown throughout the series. Even once Derek and Peter lost their Alpha status they were still stronger than he was. I don't know if it's because they were older born werewolves and he was a teenage bitten werewolf either way he never gained the strength. But that doesn't explain why Liam Dunbar (who was Scott's Beta and also a teenage bitten werewolf) was stronger than him. I do wonder if Liam's strength may have had something to do with his anger issues (he was diagnosed with having Intermittent Explosive Disorder).
Regardless, why didn't Scott get the power boost that comes with being an Alpha. The only time an increase in his strength was really shown was in the 4th season finale episode "Smoke and Mirrors" when he fought against Peter. But his extra strength felt like a residual from when he was temporarily turned into a Berserker.
At the end of the first half of season 5 (5A), I never understood why Scott was shown not really defending himself against Liam who had been manipulated by Theo Raeken into killing Scott. Even though Scott had been temporarily weakened by Theo (who had secretly triggered Scott's asthma into returning with a wolfsbane infused inhaler), as the Alpha, Scott still should have been able to easily put an end to the fight. Yet the writers chose to show a Scott who pretty much stood there and let Liam nearly claw him to death. Thankfully, Mason Hewitt was able to stop Liam before he killed Scott but he was unable to stop Theo who decided to finish what Liam had started.
After being revived by his mother, Scott's wounds were slow to heal which didn't make any sense. He should have immediately begun to heal, it wasn't like in season 3 (3A) when he had still been a Beta werewolf on the cusp of becoming an Alpha. He had fully embraced being an Alpha and should not have had the extreme difficulties he dealt with at the end of 5A.
Now that the show has ended, I guess I will never get the answer to my question. It's too bad because it really stands out that Scott's powers especially his strength never increased and it would have been interesting to know why. Regardless of the issue of his Alpha powers, Scott was an effective leader and if the series had continued for another season or two I do believe he would have become even better.

By My Researches on Google It sais, A True Alpha Is Stronger Than a Regular Alpha But My Theory is that Scott Doesn't Want to Attack Anyone But Derek and Peter were hostile and did not care, Scott never showed is powers because he does not want to kill or attack anybody although when he needs it he does he starts from trying to not kill but then when he gets angry he can Simply Kill Anyone And His Very Unique Powers Were Shown When He Passed the Mountain Ash Barrier When He Roared at Malia Making her get back to Human And When The Girl Killer Tried Killing Scott for the Hit Money But he Was Able to just Hold that wire and simply knock her out, unlike betas that were killed when their head was cut by that Thermal Wire. Another Theory why Liam Was Able to Defeat Scott is Because He Got affected by the Supermoon and he's not just a normal beta he's a True Alpha's Beta Meaning He Was Bitten By A Stronger True Alpha which is stronger than the average alpha
