Beware Wolf episode contradicts Alex and Masons relationship

"So I wonder how many people Mason has killed and/or eaten in the last three hundred years without the wizard monster hunters hunting him the way they hunted Juliet, the vampire who never bites people?"

1.) Because Selena Gomez was the star of the show, so of course her "magical creature" relationship with Mason was going to succeed. That's how Mason got/gets away with it. (I wonder, now that Alex is a full wizard, will the Wizard Council allow her the power to turn Mason into a permanent vegetarian or vegan?)

2.) David Henrie was not the star of the show so naturally his track record with "magical creature" girlfriends was destined to always stink. Also, Justin was a dolt in that he turned in his own girlfriend to the Monster Hunter Council. (And it was Alex and her street smarts that helped Juliette evade capture.)

3.) WOWP's creators treated the show's violence as a cartoon: hillbilly wizards left in limbo, Stevie turned into an ice sculpture, Mason eating Dean — who remained remarkably intact and not dead despite all of the chewing and from floating around unconsciouss in stomach acid. (That must have been one powerful shrinking spell Max cast to make Dean easier to swallow.) Because in a cartoon, people and body parts always pop back to normal shape and function as if nothing violent happened. And because most of Disney Channel's target audience isn't going to think about the ethics of wizards left in limbo, a girl turned to ice or a boy being swallowed whole by a werewolf without their fate being logically resolved. (And in Dean's case why he wasn't drowned or disfigured by all that stomach acid.)

Yeah, I know filankey is not a word, but it's gonna catch on.
