If I could have a moment of everyone's time.

I learned not too long ago that there was a man calling himself Frankenstein here. I was wondering if anyone recalled him, and if so, could you tell me everything you remember about him? I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

I've read it.

Seen a few of the movies.

Personally, I like the one with Boris Karloff.

super old school

were they accurate? the stories and movies

[jolting]

In some ways. None are completely accurate.

For example, my laboratory assistant was named Igor but he was not a hunchback. And as far as I know, the creature did not throw little girls into ponds.

[spideys]

probably had to add those little details for the theatrics right

make the story juicier for the masses

[he can't really imagine child murder being more theatrical than patricide, but he can understand the shock value]

I don't mind it. Helps separate myself from the variations.

[spideys]

oh yeah totally

must've been super weird tho

watching the movies

reading the books

it's like

you'd be pointing out everything they got wrong

that's what i'd do

notes and all

[given that Victor initially was exposed to these adaptations before he knew his true identity, he simply enjoyed them for what they were]

It wasn't actually as strange as you would think.

I just think of them as alternate versions. Like the theory of multiverse: just me making different choices or under different circumstances. In that way, they're pretty fascinating.

[spideys]

probably keeps you saner too

good protip for anyone with alternates of themselves

[jolting]

They already call me a mad doctor.

A surprisingly common problem, apparently.
