Request of intepretation of tf's of Stung

Converting the biomass of the victim to form another creature sounds like a bit of a transformation to me. They're not simply being eaten from the inside out in a matter of seconds and then having a wasp emerge from what's left over. The host body is being changed internally, not everything is used in the process so you get the blood and skin and gross bits clinging to the new creature afterwards. If it was just a larva eating the victim and then hatching from the carcass it would take longer, you might have multiple wasps hatch from one sting as multiple larva were injected, but that doesn't happen. It's one sting, one victim, one wasp hatches, and most importantly is this next part, the type of animal stung changes the type of wasp that you get afterwards. We see three species get stung and they result in very different looking wasps emerging from the host's flesh. A small dog is stung and a small wasp comes from that, humans are stung and a large wasp comes from that, cows are stung and enormous wasps come from that. All that mass is converted, changed, transformed, from the inside out. The first person stung shrivels as his fluids and tissue are drawn from all parts of his body to form the wasp under his skin that later bursts out. There's no time accounted for the larva to digest this tissue and process it and grow, it's just taking what raw material is there and forcing it into the shape of a new wasp, hatching from the skin like a cocoon. That's what I think is really going on there. The wasp venom forces the victim to go through a metamorphosis, their organs and muscles and most if not all their bones liquefy and reform in a matter minutes into a new creature that hatches from it's old skin. So it's not glamorous like a werewolf transformation, but a caterpillar becoming a butterfly is still a transformation and this appears to work on the same principle for the most part. If it wasn't a transformation like I described then why wouldn't the wasps that emerge from the victims of these stings be the same size as the wasps that stung them in the first place? They're larger than the wasps that delivered the stings, and have different body shapes too. The wasps that came from the cows looked vastly different in shape as well as being so much larger than the ones that stung the humans.

So that's going to be my final judgement on these, wasp venom that turns the victim into a new wasp, their skin is just a cocoon for the transformation to happen inside of, not all mass is used so there's a gory hatching afterwards with some parts left over for grossness.

Although I disagree that it's a TF, as per my previous comment, I do agree that there's a legitimate discussion to be had. Clearly the clip pushes the TF buttons for some people, so I really don't think there was a problem with Garnu_Thorn posting the clip here.
