Malia Tate and Scott McCall still should've been together in Teen Wolf: The Movie

I know I'm not the only one who liked Alpha werewolf Scott McCall and were-coyote Malia Tate together but it just feels like it. The Teen Wolf movie should have kept them together instead of having Scott rehash a romance with his once dead now revived ex-girlfriend and hunter Allison Argent. I knew as soon as it was announced that actress Crystal Reed was returning for the movie and reprising her character Allison that Malia would be pushed aside as Scott's girlfriend. Scott and Allison's romance was done and over with before she even died back in the third season. During the time she died, Allison was dating werewolf Isaac Lahey and Scott was starting to get to know kitsune Kira Yukimura. Both Scott and Allison had moved on, there was no point on centering a movie around bring her back to life just to put them back together again.

Allison being back and the return of the Nogitsune were not an interesting plot points and the story instead should have been a continuation from the Teen Wolf series finale that had hunters worldwide out there still targeting supernatural beings. However, that's a discussion for another post. I have way too many thoughts about Teen Wolf: The Movie some good and some bad, but back to Malia who was one of the good things about the movie. She's a fun, wild and unexpected character and her and Scott had really good chemistry and their relationship should have continued. Although, they were broken up in the movie, there was a scene where they reunited in the woods (before they went to resurrect Allison) which showed there was a little awkwardness between Malia and Scott. What I liked is that despite that, they were still very much worked well together throughout the movie. I also liked that Scott seemed concerned about Malia after Allison (who didn't quite have all her memories) attacked her at the hospital.

I always thought Malia and Scott were so much more interesting and real than what Scott had with Allison which always felt like obsessive infatuation coupled with insta love. And in the movie, it made absolutely no sense to put Malia together with Deputy and Hellhound Jordan Parrish. That truly felt like the writer Jeff Davis had no idea what to do with Malia and Jordan so he just put them together in a sort of friends with benefits situation.

Anyway, just posting my thoughts about Malia and Scott's relationship and her as a character. It's still disappointing that the writer got rid of their relationship for Teen Wolf: The Move just to continue the Scott and Allison relationship that didn't need to be continued.
