Bit of a question

Sorry if this has already been answered but Mavis is supposed to be in her 80's correct? Still looks like a teenager but that's not the problem.

The problem is Johnathan and depending on how the story goes their son as well. So she's going to live forever and be young while Johnathan and her son wind up growing old and die.

Who here thinks that especially if the son gets his fangs at the end of the movie that Johnathan is going to ask to be "turned" so to speak? Maybe not in this movie but if it makes enough money the next one?

I can see the next one dealing with that. Wouldn't be surprised if the went the other direction and finished the story with the vampires becoming human

Mavis was 118 when she met Jonathan, who was 21.

I've wondered about his mortality, as well, and when/if it will be addressed. I can't see them "turning" him, because that would mean he has to die. I honestly don't see this even being addressed, either because there won't be a third movie, or simply because it would be too much for younger kids to handle. I agree with the above poster who said having the "monsters" give up their mortality might be the better option, if there is another sequel.

I don't think they're actually immortal, they just live a REALLY long time. Did you see Vlad? He was ancient. They age very slowly, but they do age, and eventually the body just gives out when the organs and stuff stop functioning. Vampires in this series are the species class, not the undead class. They're not the living dead, they're alive, but have very long lifespans. The undead vampires are different. They never age because they're dead and locked in time. But since the vampires in this movie aren't the undead kind, turning Johnny wouldn't mean he has to die. That's how it works with the undead vampires. Species vampires carry a virus that mutates humans into vampires.

The way I see it, one of them, either Mavis, will turn Johnny eventually. She loves him as he is, and as Johnny stated about his family, he's proud of his human family, so they're just waiting until they have to before turning him. He's only in his 20s. I'd say he's about 27 in this one since Dennis is 5. They may also have been waiting to see if Dennis would be a human or not before making any decisions. So unless Mavis wants to lose her husband and Dennis wants to lose his father in 60-70 years, they'll definitely turn him. This might actually be the plot for the 3rd film if they do one.
