I have many thoughts about Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein adaptation but the one that just slapped me in the face was “oh! I couldn’t quite tell what was going on with the Victor/Elizabeth relationship because that’s what getting friend-zoned looks like when told by the guy!”
Oh my lord I am crying laughing. She was giving totally normal friend/sibling vibes but the story was so heavily coloured by Victor’s telling that it muddied the waters. Holy crap her characterisation makes so much more sense.
