Tonight's episode was another showing of the Scott can't do anything right show.

Seriously TW writers, if you don't know how to right a protagonist who is physically more powerful than most of his foes, than just find some quicky excuse to knock him back down to beta. This is just frustrating.

Even Kira, who just learned this episode how to use some of her powers (no training, just doing it by instinct, ala Scott season 1 learning to be a beta) is beating on the Oni* and throwing them around like toys. Scott's barely holding his own and then he gets stabbed. Does he take it like an Alpha? No, he does not. Instead Kira saves him again.

Why we don't we just rename the show Kitsune and be done with it?

I've nothing against Kira. In fact I think she brings something new to the cast and I hope she sticks around for a long, long time. This problem is about Scott.

Internal consistency is crucial for a show like this, it maintains the fictional world and helps keep things grounded. If you don't play by the rules you created then the 'reality' of the world starts to unravel. If Scott is an Alpha (True or not) he has to be stronger than he was. He has to be stronger than his Betas. For me this is starting to be a dealbreaker.

yh i have to agree its a real put off when the true alpha is weaker than all the alphas we have seen so far in the series even derek looked powerful as an alpha
 * According to Kira's mom, these Oni are stronger?  No bluring and her daughter kills most of them with a pipe.  A pack of literally killer monsters couldn't stop the weak Oni.  Again, consistency.
