Yet that strikes me as being realistic because...so many people DO base major life decisions on heat-of-the-moment perceptions and feelings, for good, ill, or a myriad of results in between. Sometimes the rashness of the decision is regretted, or perhaps accepted as "where one's head was at during that time". Sometimes one isn't allowed the luxury of acceptance or regret.
Yes, I think dorrie6 really hit it when she said it's because the choice itself being put that way only happens in fiction. People do "choose evil" in terms of letting their lives be ruled by these sorts of things, they just don't usually have it laid out this way. Choosing good or bad is usually more a series of choices, which often are influenced by just this sort of thing.
On a slightly more serious note, shapeshifting must be an excruciatingly painful process. Think of all the bones, muscles, nerves...shrinking, growing, twisting and turning inside the skin. That's gotta hurt.
When the tiger girl changes a little bit earlier on it's much more fluid--really, it's a CGI-moment where her face just gets tiger-like. But this is much more organic so it seems more real. It's like the perfect symbol of CGI vs. old-fashioned movie making. Even though the technology is probably far superior with the tiger girl, the owl girl is more "real" despite being presented through edits and tricks.
