We have said goodbye before, so it stands to reason... We will say hello again.

ngl the change of phrasing from “if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear” to “if you are not to award me love, then I will indulge in rage” says a lot about what GDT wanted to do with the Frankenstein creature. I think Mary would have sobbed if she heard that

“I will cause fear” is more transitive than “I will indulge in rage” is what I'm saying. cause whose fear? which does align with how the violence the creature commits is in the name of trying to say something to Victor

meanwhile, indulge in rage. aka you know what, I'll just be mad. madness is the out-group created by the violence that it takes for sanity to exist as the in-group that opposes it. to the sane, anything can look like madness and rage as long as it's unlikable. Victor closes every possible door for the creature that he deems as unlikable to enter the company of the sane, the company of normalcy, the company of oppressors, and Guillermo del Toro, master of turning monsters into friends of the oppressed instead, responds like hey what if I need to belong to the sane and the normal and the likable to find my will to live again. I will be ugly and mad and I will enjoy life anyway

everyone say 'thank you Guillermo Del Toro' for slutting out Oscar Isaac to the maximum degree

Do you think Ned's power causes souls to rot, hence the time limit to keep that from happening?

"Del Toro sees Victor as "an arrogant, abusive father" and the monster as a "tragic child." "Our Victor is a selfish child," says del Toro, "who was hurt himself and therefore thinks the world owes him everything. He is trying to measure up to 'Daddy' ... Victor is like some tech bros— oblivious to consequence-consumed by a vision in the abstract. And, like all tyrants, he believes himself a victim." [Frankenstein: Written and Directed by Guillermo del Toro]

Look y'all, this reveal means so much to me. So many times in movies these days there are big reveals for the audience’s benefit that mean absolutely nothing in the context of the story or to the characters in it. I’m talking the Thanos cameo in the Avengers’ stinger, I’m talking Benedict CumberKhan in Star Trek, I’m talking about every hackneyed “This character is actually this other character” when in universe nobody knows nor cares about their true identity.

But here? This reveal? This is a Big Reveal for us, Peter B Parker, and Miles, all on different levels. We and Peter both know Doc Ock is a portly dude, not a woman. We know the name Octavius… Otto Octavius. But when she says her name is Olivia Octavius we’re clued in to the fact that Doctor Octopus is a woman in this universe. And she has Peter captive.

Miles, if he was paying attention in science class earlier in the movie, would have known her name was Olivia Octavius, but that doesn’t mean anything to him, why would it? Liv has apparently been very good about keeping her supervillainy a secret. She’s in educational videos shown in high-schools. So to Miles, the reveal here is this scientist lady, who he knew enough about to know was the head scientist at Alchemax, is a supervillain. He gets the reveal a second or two after Peter.

And the movie? It was dropping hints the entire time, confident in our expectations blinding is to the truth. Olivia’s name was partially visible when Miles got to science class. Her glasses are octagonal. The lights in her lab are octagonal. We know she’s working with the Kingpin. Why wouldn’t she be a supervillain? Because she’s hot? Hell, Peter even says he needs to reexamine his internal biases. Maybe he was telling us that we should too.

It’s a reveal for us, and for our heroes. It means something, both in-universe and out. And that makes it infinitely better than other similar reveals.
