Your dislike or phobia for certain animals never outweights the animal's right to exist and live, i keep running into this behavior and i don't know why some folks never got to learn that. Who do you think you are

A Small Rant About THE BRIDE!

(Gif not mine)

Disclaimer: spoilers

Okay I have THOUGHTS about THE BRIDE! and I’m still kind of processing them.

Where Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein felt like a love letter to Mary Shelley’s original novel, THE BRIDE! feels like someone completely ripped the Frankenstein mythos out of its original context and rebuilt it into something entirely new. The story being told is definitely not about the creature (Frank) and his bride. The focus from beginning to the bitter end is about the Bride and her identity, her autonomy, and what it means to be created without your consent and then forced to figure out who you are anyway.

I’m not gonna lie, I left the theatre with very mixed feelings. Some characters (including Mary Shelley and Frank) felt weirdly mischaracterised at times, and there were moments where I genuinely didn’t understand some of the Bride’s choices or her behaviour (like I gather the way she speaks, oscillating between an amnesiaed Ida and the grandious Mary Shelley is supposed to mean something and maybe provide social commentary, but at this moment I havent figured out what it could mean). The side plot also occasionally felt like it wandered in from another movie. But at the same time, the cinematography, the colour palette, the theatrical dialogue, and the sheer energy of the film made it feel like something that was deliberately chaotic.

But honestly, I can already tell this is going to become a cult classic. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s so unapologetically weird.

What I really loved was the dynamic between Frank and the Bride. He doesn’t try to control her or force her into being the “perfect wife” she was literally created to be. He lets her run wild, explore the world, build her own identity, and only really steps in when she asks for help or when she’s in danger. It feels less like ownership and more like trust. Like he wants her to experience the freedom he never got when he first woke up.

And the Bride herself is such a fascinating character because the entire movie revolves around consent. She’s lied to, manipulated, threatened, and assaulted throughout the story, but she never stops asserting her autonomy. From the moment she’s revived she keeps repeating “I’d rather not,” over and over like a mantra, and I loved that. When she ultimately reconnects with Frank, it’s not because she owes him anything, it’s because of the bond they built despite everything.

Is the movie messy? Absolutely.

Did I understand every choice it made? Not really.

But I also can’t stop thinking about it, I want to write so much more about this movie, but I am holding back so hard, hich honestly might be the biggest compliment I can give it.

Thought more about the Grianverse so now I bring: duos (specifically outside of hermitcraft, life series and evo because they’re all very similar in my brain)

TLOAK Grian and CuteGuy, they are just kinda similar I feel like they’d get along (CG would lowkey bullies him for being a cop tho)

MS and TLOAK Grian talk sometimes, mainly about their professional careers (TLOAK Grian is jealous of the relationship that MS Grian got to have with Scar, he sometimes wonders if there’s a universe of him that they ever worked out in)

G&G Grian and YHS Grian talk each others ears off YHS Grian doesn’t know who this “Scar” “Mumbo” and “Gem” people are but he always tells funny stories about him, Sam and Taurtis

KOV Grian and CuteGuy hang out, KOV Grian reminds CuteGuy of a younger version of himself (which technically-) so he tries to give him as much advice as he can since they’re the only two with “magical” powers

TLOAK Grian makes fun of G&G Grian (only because he was exactly like that in high school and a bit in college, though he was too busy studying to go to concerts like G&G Grian does)

All of the Grian’s bond over shared broken ribs

TLOAK Grian keeps calling KOV Grian, YHS Grian and G&G Grian kids (despite KOV and YHS Grian technically younger)

TLOAK Grian had pulled a gun on YHS Grian and Cannibal Grian, to which YHS Grian also pulled a gun, which cause CuteGuy to pull out his gun

MS Grian and G&G Grian are watching the horrific chaos, KOV Grian is cackling
