His name is actually the Frankenstein Monster. Frankenstein is the doctor who made him
His name is actually the Frankenstein Monster. Frankenstein is the doctor who made him
It's true tho
Frankenstein Jr
actually language is largely defined by social usage so if enough people call the monster Frankenstein that’s his name
he has a name in the book
Frankenstein is not a doctor
metaphorically, he IS the monster
also, it's a bit like how English is a descriptivist language: this poster KNOWS what it's doing. arguably the Marvel's Avengers of its day, since it also has Bela Lugosi's Dracula and the Invisible Man. but Victor F. isn't even in the film from what i remember.
so it's a bit like Doctor Who: WE know the character is called Dr Who. it credits him as Dr Who. they've included dialogue with the name in the old series AND the new one. pedants will claim the character is called 'The Doctor'. but really, he's called Dr Who. just like how green bolt-head man is Frankenstein.
Why do most adaptations depict the monster choosing the name Adam? In the book he compares himself to both Adam and Lucifer after hearing a reading of Milton and decides he's more like Lucifer.
Then why was she called Bride of Frankenstein and not Bride of Frankenstein's Monster?
I thought Frankenstein's monster was named Frankfurter?
His title is actually The Modern Prometheus. Later writers tried to explain this was a corruption of his alien name, M'Dorn Prom-e'thsz, because of a misunderstanding that the lightning was the source of his mind. Rather, his ego was a gestalt of the bodies Frankenstein harvested, and the space-lightning was just an energy source.
I’ve read the book many times and I don’t get why certain people give a shit that people call him Frankenstein. It’s better than The Monster, The Frankenstein Monster or Adam. Pinhead officially is called The Hell Priest but nobody calls him that outside Barker. Cigarette Smoking Man in The X Fixes was official called “man in background smoking” and then Cancer Man. But everyone called him CSM and the show later just went with it
Descriptivist here means ambiguous btw
His name is actually Frankenstein and he is both the doctor and the monster
such people deserve to be crushed under the authoritarian jackboot they fantasize about defying
generally in Western marriages, a father 'gives' his daughter to the groom. a lot of people object to this, or to the religious heritage of marriages in general. e.g. you had 'PACS' in France, which were civil unions but weren't granted the full status (in law) of a traditional marriage. i think today, all (?) marriages in France are now civil partnerships, you can just have whatever wedding/ceremony/religious extras you want.
of course that then rolls around to gay marriage, where people saw civil partnerships as a similar partial/equal version of a union between man and woman, but Christians objected on the grounds that marriage was religious, not secular. everyone get over this and now gays can marry. BUT THEN you had the double-extra-ironic backlash of HETEROSEXUALS who wanted to have civil partnerships.
this was passed in the UK a few years ago. straights can now get gay-married.
point is, she's the bride OF Frankenstein. they're traditional. can a woman marry a monster, would a vicar be fine with that? probably not. so these are the compromises they'd have to make. but he still might be a bit old-fashioned about it: wants the union, chill with the patriarchal (it just/actually is) verbiage, and then they can get married however they want. never seen it.
Slimer from The Real Ghostbusters is The Onion Head Ghost or just Onionhead in the original Ghostbusters film.
It's a bit like 'Ewok' where we all know the word, but I have no fucking clue how.
Frankenstein was the monster
or
Frankenstein was the monster
It is 'a Frankenstein', in the same way a vacuum cleaner might be referred to as 'a Hoover'.
His name is actually Vlad Tepes, Dracula is the place he was the count of
It’s like nicknames. Only loser athletes pick their own nickname. You have to let the public pick it.
nah, Count Dracula was just his name, then Bram Stoker decided all vampires inherit Count as a 'title' when they're turned.
The monster is the doctor's creation, essentially his son. And Frankenstein is the family name, so it makes sense for the monster to also be called Frankenstein. What he lacks is a first name.
Nosferatu was the mobile game ad version of Dracula
Some versions call him Adam Frankenstein
Oh jeez
This Reddit "fun fact" pisses me off because it's not even true. Frankenstein's monster is Frankenstein's son, meaning that his name would in fact be Frankenstein. There's nothing worse than a know-it-all smartass who himself is WRONG
It’s better than The Monster, The Frankenstein Monster or Adam.
I dont get mad if people want to call him Frankenstein, but I think the preference is subjective.
Frankenstein's monster is Frankenstein's son, meaning blah, blah, blah...
You're wrong, FFS read the book. Frankenstein spends the entire thing loathing his creation.
he doesn't like him so he's not his son
He's his fucking son, retard, whether he likes it or not
Not wrong. You can loath your bastard kid all you want they will always have your last name as a default. That’s how legally anyways.
my favorite christmas movie? die hard
It's a body he animated with life that he collected from an amalgamation of corpses.. it's not his progeny.
Actually, Dr. Frankenstein IS the monster.
How are people not sick and tired of chad/onions/chudjak posting?
Dr Frankenstein created him. Hence Frankenstein is his son. Hence he takes the last name of his father.
holy shit...
People’s creations are named after them all the time and take ownership over it! Jacuzzi is named after Jacuzzi Brothers who made it. We call Ford cars are called Ford after Henry Ford. The saxophone js named after Adolphe Sax who invented it
How are people not sick and tired of chad/onions/chudjak posting?
Are there any Frankenstein films that do the real story of the novel?
you should notice many of the most intelligent people on the board are gathered in this thread right now, unironically
Reanimator
It is lesser known fact that he had a female assistant named Frau Blücher
Faggot attitude that supports muddying language and malicious misuse of words for personal benefit.
calling everyone I don't like a nazi and then equating the most trivial deeds with the worst is fine actually
Viktor!
would you suck frankenstein (the dead monster guy)'s dick every day for 10 years for $1bn
In private corespondence Shelley called him Adam.
Yes
Blame Larry King. I feel as though the Soup Nazi episode being one of the most popular episodes of Seinfeld along with the mid to late 80s being the rise of that thought process can't be coincidence. If he didn't start it: he definitely exacerbated the Hell out of it through popularizing it in the guise of humor
yes, but i can't afford a billion dollars :(
