I definitely feel like Elordi could pull off "pathetic wet cat of an undergraduate student doing crimes against nature in a maic episode" and Isaac has the "idealized classical masculine figure that can be fucked up with some prosthetics and creepy contact lenses and sundry other effects" going on

It makes me wonder why we never get it -- Victor Frankenstein always old or at least mature and strapping. Is it because making him too youthful and pretty and delicate will make him too sympathetic? Idk let's look at what Tumblr has to say --

The only adaptation I've seen come close is ballet and that's because of the youthfulness of typical ballet dancers. It's super odd.

Victor Frankenstein is supposed to be a beautiful twink who's constantly ill. He creates his creature at 19 and at 27 becomes the beautiful, sickly object of obsession of a weirdo polar explorer. It's really weird how this is so much of the book and never in any adaptations.

It sounds like the only thing they missed was that Victor is supposed to be a hot twink.

It's weird because like with all this discussion on fertility rates I think what gets lost is that the conditions under which people are created are just inherently bad in general. Like human reproduction, childhood, etc., they're all just bad, and the false pedestal is cracking.

This history of fascists using Jews to enact fascism (and then blaming us for it!) is long and disturbing, but it helps to remember that this is far from the first time it’s happened. Maybe listen to us when we tell you it’s happening this time.

I think it's impossible for gentiles to understand that "useful idiot to antisemites" is actually the default stance for... well, anyone who isn't Jewish (and becomes the stance for so many Jews even). This is by design.
