Begging people who do pop culture writing to actually, you know, engage with classics/older media, whether that's books or movies, because that's what writers often pull from. You want a richer experience and to not look like a boob? Do the work and engage with something besides Star Wars and Disney

Yup. The reaction to Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein has my eyes rolling uncontrollably in my head. IT'S THE FRIGGIN BOOK VERSION

This post is about this dude, isn't it? 🤣

The Mexican director has chosen to emphasise the romanticism at the expense of the horror. Elordi plays the creature as a misunderstood, James Dean-like outsider with Oedipal issues rather than as an agent of evil and chaos. Even if his face and torso are latticed with suitably grotesque scars, staples and stitches, he is not only the most sympathetic character in the movie but the best-looking one too. It’s left to Oscar Isaac to provide the real villainy as the brilliant but egomaniacal scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who “fathers” the monster but then promptly disowns him.
