There is way too much headcanon here to even approach a sensible argument.

Examples: Deucalion being "100x stronger than..."or he was "100% fine", when those statements are nothing more than a subjective opinion based on nothing more than inflated and overblown expectations. Most of the time I see these things posted and it makes me wonder what show they've been watching?

The best indicator that all this is headcanon is when we're told how the writers would've written a character's actions as if they had some proprietary information or interest. That is absurd.

Show me ONE single piece of evidence that proves these statements. You can't. All the canon we have and there is not one single time that we're told exactly how strong someone is or to what degree that individual can take punishment.

We're shown displays of power and told how Deucalion earned it but that is all. Placing a number on the strength is simply speculation, nothing more and certainly not factual.

Here's what we DO know:

Deucalion was knocked down from the electricity and was later shot. By all accounts including his own strained voice when he says it isn't his day are clear indicators that he is hurt and NOT in any shape to whoop anyone's butt.

Oh but NO, "Deucalion is a hundred times stronger than anyone and blah, blah, *ignoring all signs to fit my headcanon *, blah. "

Stop pushing headcanon as fact. Dude, what are you talking about?

Nobody said he was "100% fine". You just said that. That was in response to Killer Kev, who was speculating that maybe Deucalion wasn't fine when he was walking with Scott and Liam towards Theo, and I explained that there was no indication to make that assumption. Tell me, did he look hurt to you when he was walking with Scott and Liam towards Theo? Scott and Liam looked hurt to you? So what show are you watching?

Nobody said that Deuc being a good guy was legitimately the reason why he got weaker, nor did we say that reason was cannon. It's just what we suspect. In fact, I already said there was no canonical proof to this: "   And yes, there is no proof for that (besides Jeff's ideology that heroes should lose until the end) but it's just ironic that it happens right when we find out he's a good guy. lool It was just a funny moment, not that big a deal". So what exactly are you pointing out that we don't already know?

I agree with your "here's what we do know" statements and guess what? Nobody said that didn't happen.

And if you want "evidence" as to why we feel this way (NOT stating it as canon), did you not see how many times other werewolves on the show got shot with bullets and wolfsbane bullets and could still manage to fight someone off or run? Deucalion could not stand from one bullet. Dude, that's just not consistent with werewolves in general, let alone an Alpha or (of course) a super-charged Alpha. Assuming it's a powerful wolfsbane bullet or whatever else some people might want to say to justify it is in fact head-canon.

Calm down. Nobody said being a hero automically makes you weaker was canon, lol...
