* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Creator/BrendanGleeson doesn't play the father figure role in this film, nor does he have a role in the film at all. It's also the only film in the trilogy to have two female leads rather than a male/female duo like the first two, and Robyn is an EmpoweredBadassNormal while Brendan and Ben are just BadassNormal.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Irony}}: According to the movie's art book, the woods is associated with safety despite being wilderness, while the town is heavily associated with danger in spite of its association with civilization. Even when Robyn's not a wolf, she and her father face threats in the town for so much as failing to follow Cromwell's orders.

Removed per thread.


* AnAesop:
** You can only be happy if you can be yourself, and you can only be yourself if you're free.
** Sometimes you have to do what's right even at the risk of punishment.
** For Robyn: You can't escape your true nature. You have to accept it and nurture it.
** Progress does not require the extinction of a species.
** For Bill: Submitting to a tyrant in the hopes they'll spare your loved ones doesn't result in greater safety, but a loss of freedom. What's more, they may decide to hurt your loved ones anyway, and by then you'll still be trapped. Better to flee or fight for freedom to begin with.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The story is set in the year 1650 and Oliver Cromwell is already the Lord Protector, a title that he wouldn't obtain until 1653. [[spoiler:He didn't die in 1650 in Ireland either]].

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The people of Kilkenny ''despise'' the "Lord Protector" and barely try to conceal it. He's often away to quell uprisings in other parts of the country, and barely keeps the townsfolk in line with intimidation and promises to [[TheScapegoat eradicate]] the local wolves.

Added DiffLines:

** "It's for your own good." Said by Bill repeatedly throughout the film to justify keeping Robyn in the town and having her work in the scullery, in an attempt to keep her safe. [[spoiler: And then Robyn says it to Mebh when she's literally trapping her in a cage in order to prevent her from going after her mother.]]
