The Kanima
Jackson turning into the season two villain nearly had the same effect as Stiles becoming the Nogitsune, the main difference being the difference of acting abilities between Dylan O’Brien and Colton Haynes and the fact that as a character, Jackson was kind of a douche. Still, the Kanima was a violent and frightening baddie, made all the worse when we realized he had no control over what he was doing. It was nice to see the practicality of the effects (even if they weren’t always that good) because it showcased the show’s love of their genre. It was an effective use of makeup, stunt doubles, physicality, and some CGI that made one of the first villains that wasn’t simply another werewolf.
