![]() ![]() This is just like how Rocket ( Bradley Cooper) is the only one who can understand Groot in the first Guardians. Similarly to Groot, his best buddy Jack seems to be the only one that can understand his garbled speech. He’s the hulking figure with a heart of gold that only hurts people when his friends are in danger. It’s almost exactly like the way Groot ( Vin Diesel) was characterized in the first Guardians of the Galaxy. ![]() In the comics, he’s closer to being like a spiritual entity that’s the embodiment of the swamp that isn't capable of feelings, but here he is an innocent soul. Unlike his comic counterpart, this version of Ted is very emotional. But, sadly for Ted, this Florida man drove his car into a swamp and got sucked into the Nexus of All Realities (the crossroads between every multiverse) which turned him into the big flora monster we see in this special. His comic history is pretty crazy, but the basic gist is that Ted was a scientist who was trying to recreate the supersoldier serum in the Florida Everglades. Ted isn’t just a normal name used for comedic effect when describing a big swampy creature it’s the name he had before turning into a monster. He doesn’t even call him Man-Thing and instead only refers to him by his original name, Ted. ![]() The reason Jack wants to save Man-Thing is that the two of them are actually buddies, seeming to have a mutual understanding of what it’s like to be viewed as a monster. Since Elsa doesn’t really care about the beast one way or another, she teams up with Jack, and they plan to free Man-Thing together to get Elsa the Bloodstone she desires. Jack, however, is just there to save Man-Thing and not kill him. Ulysses’ estranged daughter Elsa ( Laura Donnelly) shows up unannounced to claim her birthright but is chastised by her stepmother. Whoever kills him will earn the right to own the Bloodstone, a rare and powerful artifact that the Bloodstone family has held for generations and is the source of their namesake. Ulysses’ wife Verussa ( Harriet Sansom Harris) has summoned five monster hunters from around the world to challenge them to kill the Man-Thing. ![]() The plot of Werewolf by Night follows Jack Russell attending a ceremony commemorating the death of Ulysses Bloodstone ( Richard Dixon), one of the most successful monster hunters to ever live. Man-Thing is a major player in Marvel Comics with the multiverse, and his appearance in this could be yet another stepping stone Marvel has laid out for the upcoming Secret Wars. In the special, Man-Thing is portrayed by Carey Jones who also played the Wookiee Black Krrsantan in The Book of Boba Fett. The specific monster that the six hunters are tasked with killing in Werewolf by Night isn’t just any other monster, though it’s Man-Thing. The opening sequence of the special reveals many kinds of monsters that the hunters in the special have killed, and the remains of those monsters are even used as decorations throughout the Bloodstone mansion. Not only does this special introduce us to Marvel’s most famous werewolf, Jack Russell ( Gael García Bernal), but gives us our first look at the world of monster hunters in this universe.
