>https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20250830-giving-him-a-makeover-is-like-having-a-vegetarian-count-dracula-why-jacob-elordis-frankensteins-monster-is-wrongDel Toro has ruined the character by making him handsome and therefore erasing both his motivations and those of his creator:>In Shelley's novel, he is an involuntary celibate who announces that he will go on a rampage if he isn't provided with a girlfriend. In Del Toro's film, his motives aren't as clear or as resonant.Has the anti-incel backlash gone too far? Are we being removed from our own stories?
>>214264188He's not an incel. He has an incestuous relationship in the book. Didn't you read it?
He's right though, it does rip out the core of the story. Shelley's creature is the embodiment of despairing loneliness to an extent that if you take that away you're not reinterpreting the character, you're just doing a new character. Should have been Doug Jones in 8 hours worth of prosthetics, not the guy from tiktok edits by teen girls.
>>214264188Oscar Isaac fucking sucks
>>214264360No one reads books nerd. We watched universal movies which are the true source material
>>214264360The article is talking about the monster, not Victor
>>214264460Victor is the monster
>>214264478woah....
>>214264478Figuratively but not literally. Literally the monster has no cousin to marry because he is utterly alone.
>>214264188>He’s an incel!What a dumb take. The monster’s issue is rejection and betrayal by his creator and everyone around him, not getting blueballed. He wants a companion so that he can self-exile himself somewhere away frok people and not be forever alone. Not because he wants sex.
>>214264490Thank you. I went to college.Or as we educated people say "University"
Actually it's the doctor whose name is Frankenstein, the creature is called Avance Oficial.
>>214264512That's what incels are though. The sex is just a representation of what they want, which is affection and to feel wanted.
>>214264554The monster isn’t bitter because he thinks he’s owed affection/sex. Being lonely doesn’t make one an incel. The monster’s grievance is his maker abandoning him upon giving him life and dooming him to exist in a world where everyone immediately fears and hates him in sight and wants to destroy him. The complaint that the monster in Del Toro’s film isn’t ugly might have merit depending how the monster’s rejection by humanity plays out but trying to make it about inceldom is idiotic. Especially when it’s Victor who betrays the monster’s trust after promising to help him simply because Victor starts having paranoid delusions about the monster breeding.
>>214264512Frankenstein's monster kills various women throughout the book. He isn't just an incel but is also a serial killer.>>214264360Victor isn't blood related to Elizabeth. According to Google, depending on the edition, Elizabeth is either his sister or cousin but is really adopted.
>>214264360Lel nigga I don't even know how to read miss me with that nerd shit
>>214265147He doesn’t kill women because they didn’t give him sex. He kills Victor’s bride as a retaliation for Victor breaking his promise and destroying the female companion he had agreed to make. Who else does he kill that is a woman? I only remember him killing Victor’s younger brother and one of his friends.
Doesn't the book monster just look like more like an oversized goth dude then a stitched up zombie? Like I'm pretty sure his description is just Edward Scissorhands with Normalhands
>>214265172Well if you can't read then I fucked your mother up the arse you daft cunt
>>214265104>Being lonely doesn’t make one an incel.Are you retarded? That's unironically how leftists define it now, being lonely and male.
>>214265443Yeah basically. The 94 movie considered the most book accurate had a resident evil 3 thing going
>>214265470You're lucky I can't read that or I'd kick your ass.
>>214265511
>>214264188>most obvious Genesis retelling ever>but this time Man, who boastfully tried to replace God, keeps failing his Creature fundamentally misunderstanding why he gave it the gift of life in the first place>because while both God and Man ended up being disappointed in their Creation, God still gave it all the means to succeed, find happiness and carve its own path like a good parent should>instead, Man runs away cowering in fear of what he created and doesn't complete his job, which is to give a companion to his Creature to cure his loneliness>Creature, left without both his God and someone like him who can understand him, of course goes on a rampage like a retarded toddlerFeminishit ruining all the good stories as usual.
>>214265443No, he looks like a fairy
>>214265104ON sightESL or Zoombie?
>>214265104>Abandoned blah blah blah everyone is disgusted/rejects himThat's basically the textbook definition of an incel you fucking tiktok-brained retard. The word has lost any meaning because of effeminate faggots like you calling a married man with 4 kids an "incel" because it's the hot new buzzword for "umm this giy has an opinion or something and I feel icky"Most incels are literally severely disabled or horrifically disfigured and I'm not usually exactly a bleeding heart but the people that denigrate and abuse them are fucking sick in the head
