I didn't care for it either, to be honest. Based on the performance of all the actors, I feel like the script or direction wasn't clicking because they all fell flat. I don't think the casting is the root of the problem though.

Or maybe the "thin black lips" and "transparent skin" that Mary Shelley described actually make up the OG hot Goth icon--which Jacob Elordi could also totally do.

Was...Was the monster just a rebellious teen? Is he simply a depiction of early 2000s teen angst?

While I didn't love Frankenstein (2025), I think that Jacob Elordi could be perfect for this character! He could definitely get the full range and capture the moral greyness of the original character.

In Mary Shelley's original story, he is both "wretched" and "beautiful."

If it were up to me, I'd have the monster be beautiful and tall, but I'd want the actor's movements and speech to sit in the uncanny valley--meaning he appears almost human, but not quite.

Most recently, Jacob Elordi portrayed Frankenstein. His costume and makeup were exceedingly unique, and has spurred one of the most beloved versions of the monster!

...But he's still not quite right...

It's because it's Gollum and Smeagol, so I'm not sure it's royal, but it's definitely some kind of "we"... So yes?

Okay like he is a face, but you know what I mean...

I get it. I try to just emphasize that like this is my dream and my big goal! I'm not sure if that's why I get depressed. It might literally be that I miss my imaginary friends, but...i think it's probably the dream thing?

I actually have the same problem!!! I'm trying to find that balance right now...
