Are Vampires and Werewolves Really at War in Mythology, or Just in Underworld?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the "Underworld" film series, particularly the transformations of Lycans and the strength of vampires. Participants inquire about the mechanics of Lycan shapeshifting, questioning whether it involves muscle changes, and speculate on the source of vampire strength, humorously comparing it to Wolverine's adamantium. The conversation touches on the mythological aspects of vampires and werewolves, specifically referencing the revelation in "Underworld: Evolution" that the original Vampire and Lycan were brothers. There is a debate about the relevance of David Icke's theories, particularly his claims about shapeshifters and their connection to vampires, with some arguing that Icke's conspiracy theories are unrelated to the fictional narrative of the "Underworld" series. The consensus leans towards viewing the films as entertainment, distinct from Icke's controversial and conspiratorial views.

After watching Kate Beckinsale Underworld: Blood Wars (part v) in the theater last week. I watched Underworld: Awakening (part IV) and Underworld (part 1) and Underworld: Evolution (part 2) last night.

The werewolves were known as the Lycans. Has anyone read their books.. how do the Lycans shapeshift? Is it by changing the muscles in their bodies and faces? And why are the vampires so strong, are their bones made of something akin to Wolverine Adamantium? According to David Icke in his book The Biggest Secret.. the real shapeshifters are the Reptilians who can change form to humans and reptiles. But he also refer to the vampires as Reptilians.. as in Draco or Dracula.

In Underworld: Evolution, it is revealed that the original Vampire and Lycan were brothers. In other myths, are the vampires really at war with werewolves? Or only in Underworld?

Are you looking for an Underworld canonical explanation?
If so, why drag a crank like Icke into it?

One is a known fictional world, with its own internal laws; the other is a guy who was told by a psychic that he could hear spirits and is a published holocaust denier.

One of these things is not like the other.
 
As far as I know David Icke has no connection at all with the underworld series of movies.
The movies are conceived and made as entertainment, some of it quite good (imo).
Icke runs a paranoid conspiracy website which is presented not as entertainment but as fact.

Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
