deleted my response to that post but you guys have to stop acting like the only thing wrong with most dracula adaptations is 'no jonathan :((' because most of the time that is very much not the main issue and im pretty sure some of you are making up adaptations in your head because i can think of.... two? three maybe?? that actively ''slander'' him and they are never the ones youre referring to
we can talk abt how 1992 expects us to root for the romance even after drac rapes and kills her best friend and indeed how lucy is presented in her entirety in that film or if you REALLY want to talk about jon we can talk about how the adaptation goes the step further to (fucking unconsciously??? its almost like they didnt meant to???) actually have jon be a victim of assault himself and how its referred to as infidelity and not rape but the way you guys talk about that jon is already so fucking weird to be fair
i cant believe i never mentioned LXG in this post it is wild that an entire fancomic was made on the basis of 'we're sad jonathan wasnt in lxg and we decided we could do lxg better' your. your main issue was 'no jonathan/jonathan divorced mina/moore insulted jonathan' and not hyde being a caricature and griffin's death????? like there are MANY things in this comic to criticise...??????? other than 'my guy isnt in there!!!!'????
I'm sorry to butt in but it was in open tags, so.... Tumblr is a weird place. Most of the stuff I see said about Dracula and other gothic novels and its adaptations are very strange. "No Jonathan" is hardly an issue of most Dracula adaptations, in my expirience he appears in most of them. LXG comics have cool stuff and bad stuff, no Jonathan is not its main problem at all. There was 2003 LXG movie which changed a lot of things from comics, some for worse, but some for better. But Jonathan also wasn't in that movie and it wasn't the problem for the movie.
