Times The Teen Wolf Movie (2023) Broke Show Lore
1. Movie: Chris says that Scott has 4-6 hours before the wolfsbane in his system kills him.
Season 1, Episode 4: Scott overhears Kate telling Chris that Derek has 24 hours before the wolfsbane bullet kills him. In fact, the episode is called Magic Bullet. The whole episode is dedicated to this lore.
2. Movie: They repeat over and over again that the kitsune deputy probably didn't know he was a kitsune and had a total of 9 tails.
Season 3(B), Episode 21: Noshiko Yukimura says that she is 900 years old and in a flashback to 1943, we see she looks like Kira's age. This means it took around 70 years for her to go from looking like a teenager to a middle aged woman and she probably looked like a teenager for hundreds of years before then. So, this middle aged looking deputy either didn't age like a kitsune or didn't notice that he had lived decades longer than anyone he knew (not to mention he also had a brother that was in the same boat but at least knew they were kitsune). It should also be noted that Peter says in 3B that kitsune usually can't even appear as humans unless they've learned to, a skill that takes a hundred years (except for Kira who is half human).
Most of Season 3B, and Season 4, Episode 12: Kitsune have to "earn" each tail through milestones (such as learning how to heal) and when they do, the tails manifest as weapons. This deputy never noticed going through 9 difficult life-altering trials and 9 swords just appearing in his house.
3. Movie: Scott and Lydia enlist the help of Malia to sniff out the Nemeton and let her take the lead because they don't know where it is.
Season 3(A), Episodes 8, 11, and 12: Scott, Allison, and Stiles literally died to learn where the Nemeton was because Melissa, Argent, and the sheriff were being kept there. Derek and Peter knew where the nemeton was in a flashback before Talia took the memory of its location away, but somehow Peter found it again at the season finale when he killed the Darach on it.
Season 5(A), Episodes 4, 10, and 11: Parrish was blacking out and taking chimera corpses to the Nemeton without knowing it. Theo dragged Lydia to the nemeton when he resurrected some of the chimera, including Corey and Hayden. Hell, Mason and Liam were able to find it just by concentrating really hard.
So, out of all the people who have been to the nemeton--Allison, Lydia, Stiles, Melissa, Argent, Mason, Corey, Hayden, Theo, the sheriff, Liam, Derek, Peter, Parrish, even Scott, himself--Scott and Lydia relied on Malia to try and find it? Malia, who is literally the only person who has never seen it.
Scott, who died to find it, asked the one person who hasn't found the nemeton, to find the nemeton.
4. Movie: Scott says the first time he met Derek, Derek had saved his life and said they were brothers.
Season 1, Episode 1: The first time he actually met Derek was when Scott was with Stiles looking for his inhaler and Derek told them “This is private property”.
5. Movie: Eli argues with Derek that maybe he'll be the first Hale who doesn't transform.
Season 1, Episode 23: In the finale, Argent yells at Kate that "There were human children in that house!" as he's telling Kate that what she did (burning the Hale house) isn't what they do.
6. Movie: The Nogitsune is kept on a spice rack in Japan
Season 3(B), Episode 24: Isaac and Argent take the Nogitsune to France.
According to a fan-wiki I found (so don't quote me on this), it was revealed in 2013 that there was a total of seven nemetons in the world and Gerard Argent had a map that showed the locations of all seven being America, Poland, China, Egypt or possibly Sudan, Brazil, Greenland, and France. It would make sense, then, if they took the Nogitsune to France to put it in another nemeton. What doesn't make sense is keeping it on a spice rack in Japan.
7. Movie: Deaton explains to Scott what Bardo is.
Season 3(B), Episode 13, Season 3(B), Episode 22, and Season 3(A), Episode 12: Not only has Kira already explained this to him before, Scott has actually been to Bardo twice (the all white room with bright lights and pillars): once when he sacrificed himself to find the nemeton and once while mindwalking inside Stiles' head.
Bonus: "Lore/Continuity Breaks" People Keep Mentioning That Aren't Really Breaks
1. Movie: Needing the wolfsbane burned out without needing the burnt wolfsbane ash from the same kind of bullet.
Season 2, Episode 8: Derek tells Boyd, who has been shot multiple times with wolfsbane, that Boyd needs to leave to go take care of it. No one goes to find similar bullets.
Season 3(B), Episode 24: Derek burns out the wolfbane out of the twins with a lighter.
Season 4, Episode 4: Derek burns wolfsbane out of Peter's chest with a blowtorch from a tomahawk wound.
Season 6 Finale, Episode 20: Derek burns out yellow wolfsbane from Scott with a blowtorch.
"Needing the bullet that shot you" only ever happened once in the episode Magic Bullet. The situation, however, kinda makes sense because the bullet wound was a through-and-through (meaning it exited Derek's body), while all the other wolfsbane wounds throughout the show had the bullet/tomahawk still lodged inside them, providing a big enough sample of wolfsbane to be burned and thus enough wolfsbane ash to circulate through the wound.
2. Movie: Eli says that Scott almost had to chop off Derek's arm.
Season 1, Episode 4: Stiles was the one to almost chop off Derek's arm.
BUT what Eli basically says is "you almost cut off his arm". This is vague enough that it could potentially be taken, rather than "you, Scott, specifically", instead as the "collective, you". As in "you guys almost cut off his arm".
3. Movie: Derek's eyes being blue after they had turned yellow in season 4.
Season 4, Episode 12: Derek's eyes turn back to blue after he was killed by a berserker and came back as an Evolved Wolf.
