@martinguerre asked for All the Opinions, namely Garzas Drunk Literature Opinions and thank god for spellchecker, lemme tell ya, so have some Frankenstein Opinions, okay?
Listen, Frankenstein is a Really Good Book, and like, the forerunner of every Android/ Cyborg/ Experiment Gone Rogue sci-fi movie or book Ever
And it does it Better than most of them?? Listen, the Frankenstein Monster getting his name “Adam” from someone else kills an important moment of character growth and agency in the book! You can’t just have someone else name him that!
Victor Frankenstein is Playing God, right? He creates human life from nothing, (not nothing nothing, like, dead bodies, but you kniw), like, his name “Victor” is even a reference to god in…Paradise Losylt I believe??? Who’s referred to as The Victor, like, it’s Hella blatant, this guy
so The Monster says, if he is the god that gave me life, then I must be Adam, the first of my kind, created in his likeness. He compares himself to Adam, but unlike Adam he has no Garden of Eden, no Eve, not even the love, or even benevolent regard, of his creator.
So his Entire Story revolves around demanding these Human Rights, love and connection, from his creator, and Victor,being a LITTLE TURD, and completely ignoring his creation’s needs, wellbeing, and not taking responsibility for the monster’s eventually lashing out in anger and frustration.
Incidentally! FUCK TONY STARK OKAY??
Age of Ulton is LITERALLY the Frankenstein Story! Tony tries to create life, literally wants to create a hyper intelligent and sentient ai, but fucking LEAVES THE ROOM to go to A PARTY?? in their final moments, letting his brand new baby lifeform fend for itself in the first few moments of life, JUST LIKE FRANKENSTEIN, VICTOR YOU LITTLE SHIT
And instead of maybe trying to understand where his admittedly-overpowered, but literally day-old kiddo is coming from, instead just tried to DESTROY HIM?? just created life, let’s try on murder for size as well, huh?
Victor, dude, Tony, my guy, Adoption Is An Option, you fuckups
If you can’t handle your sci-fi baby, maybe hand them off to someone who can?? Instead of trying to Murder The Kid on your own??? Cover up your mind mistake with someone else’s death, cause that always ends well, am I rite??
But rants aside Ultron would have been SUCH A GOOD MOVIE if they went ALL OUT with the Frankenstein Reboot moves
Frankenstein is Not about how scientists playing god = Doom, or at least not just that (no matter what a high school prof might tell you), but it’s Also about how if you treat someone like a monster they will become a monster, and the yearning for love and respect, and fucking irresponsible asshole trying to hide from their problems that just keep growing Because of said neglect
I think I’m off topic
But also, something that nobody talks about, and may have been unintentional, is the fact that The Monster can speak and articulate these thoughts so soon after his creation? Possibly implying that knowledge is stored physically in the brain, (was that a thing people were discussing during that time period??) and hinting at the person The Monster might have been Before Shenanigans ??
I dunno, I haven’t read this book in years and am drunk so I may have some facts sideways, but THERE YOU HAVE IT
FRANKENSTEIN FEELS
“fucking irresponsible asshole trying to hide from their problems that just keep growing Because of said neglect”
skdskjhdsfk I never thought of Victor Frankenstein as being So Relatable before this moment
Has this person even seen age of Ultron? Tony thought Ultron hadn’t worked and only tried to kill Ultron after he murdered Jarvis and tried to kill the avengers.
I agree with the Frankenstein thing but this analogy is waaaay off.
