Henry Clerval: would you still love me if I was a worm?

Victor: I would cut you in half to make more of you

FRANKENSTEIN (2025)

My fanart for the new Guillermo Del Toro masterpiece!

[combustable-head]

Gothic literature must be cursed to forever be misinterpreted by mainstream public because how did this happen

Dracula book: an evil count who only sees the world as a resource to be drained for his own pleasure is stopped by the group of people who deeply care for each other

Dracula in media: a tragic romantic hero, main love interest of one of the protagonists who must be liberated from her dull little life

Frankenstein book: any human has capacity for evil when completely abandoned and shunned by the world and the people who brought him into it

Frankenstein in media: don't play God because it's against nature's laws

Jekyll and Hyde book: repression and only caring about external appearances can cause your worst impulses to indulge themselves in dangerous ways if ignored for too long

Jekyll and Hyde in media: what if there was two of the same guy but one of them was evil and gross?

The Creature calling itself Viktor and following Viktor around is so much more tragic when you know how babies develop and how newborns don't yet realise they and their mothers are two separate people. And one of the first things babies realise about themselves is that they're a whole separate person. And one of the first things they do when they start developing as a person is find out they have hands and play with them and with textures and start exploring. And when they want to start talking, they put their hands and fingers on their parents lips and throats to figure out how that sound is coming out of there and then they start imitating. Guillermo Del Toro nailed every single step of human development in such a beautiful celebration of life.

And Viktor abused the crap out of the poor creature for not being smart enough when it was only following natural developmental milestones. Because, like most men, like his own father, he wanted to create life but he wasn't interested in raising it beyond that and instead wanted it to be born a doctor ready to show the world how smart Viktor is for creating a carbon copy of his brain except in a stronger immortal body. Elizabeth gave him five minutes of love and let him explore how sounds come out of her mouth and he started talking.

Idk why some people are complaining about the movie being different from the book when the essence is literally the same, Viktor created life as if it were a godly feat and not something women have been doing since the dawn of humanity, and then he abandoned that life as deadbeat dads do. And that abandonment is what created a monster out of an innocent souls who could have become a beautiful being had it been nurtured. That's literally what Mary Shelley wrote. She would have been proud of this story. On top of being an incredibly gorgeous visual story, the narrative is very loyal to the point Shelley wanted to make.

My biggest criticism of the new Frankenstein movie is that they spell out one of the central messages of the story to the audience by having william tell Frankenstein that he is the real monster.

Like yes absolutely true but... Idk I think it was clunky and it's also a conclusion the audience is supposed to draw themselves. The viewers aren't stupid and I think that moment either should've ended with William expressing that he fears what victor has become or to have some conclusion to the underlying tension in their relationship, which had been built up throughout the film.

Despite being really inaccurate, Frankenstein 2025 was realllyyy good

I have so many maternal feelings for the creature

Frankenstein is now on Netflix!! I can't wait to watch, I literally had to schedule 2:30 hours out of my study schedule to facilitate this..

The only thing standing between me and Victor Frankenstein's atrocities is 30 more slides of biology and an understanding of the golgi body

I'm relistening to the Magnus Archives again, and I completely forgot the level of degeneracy S2 Jon succumbs too

"supplemental, Martin offered me a cup of tea, he is clearly trying to kill me"

I haven't got that far into S2 but so far he's only suspicious of Tim and Martin, and not Sasha.... Which is so ironic

My hot take as a knitter is that people who think English knitting is absolutely horrible and painfully slow are just really bad at English knitting

i will not spoil anything but i will tell you that you should severely lower your expectations for book-accuracy about the new frankenstein. i saw it last night and that is all i will say (i did enjoy it though)

Nooo why are people allergic to making a book accurate Frankenstein adaptation.

Thank you for the warning, I will go in with my expectations sufficiently lowered

[themonsternotthescientist]

If the new Frankenstein movie is book accurate I will keep tears of joy
