https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein_(2025_film)I vaguely remember reading the source material book back in 8th grade. Was he always this bad?
>>217074392a theme his him losing his humanity in the pursuit of his goal but Del Toro boiled it down into full character assassination
>>217074392The entire fucking theme of the book is literally>I want to be famous>if I can create life they will respect forever, regardless of how wrong it is like grave robbing or if playing God is ok>I could have come clean and stopped Justine being killed and more murders by Adam but nah fuck it, I'll be a whiny bitch
He was a dick in the book but not the over-the-top cartoon villain manbaby that Del Toro made him
>>217074601I remember in the books, victor was very literal with how he viewed his love as an object. He kept saying she was his (even way before she expressed interest, etc)
>>217074664It was just the concept of him not having a mother figure since she died really early and him obsessing of the concept of a mother figure after his mother is dying and tells him Elizabeth is going to replace her more or less
>>217074392No. In the books, he doesn’t chain up the creature like an animal and try to raise it. In fact, iirc, book victor almost immediately regrets creating the creature after it comes to life. He then spends the rest of the story feeling deeply depressed and troubled because of what he’s created, then hatred towards it and dedicates his life to killing it
>>217074803Was the wolf scene in the books too?
>>217074867NTAThere is no wolf scene in the book, at least not the original>>217074803I'd say it's more that he felt embarrassed and depressed than troubled.
>>217074392GDT turned the moral boundaries of scientific/medical experiments, into daddy issues towards the artist as creator? FATSO
>>217075209Was gdt an abused child or something lolI know he’s from Mexico
