Frankenstein was the scientist

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

And the scientist was the "monster". The person he built from dead bodies was a victim of the scientist's hubris.

IT'S FRANKENSTEIN

admittedly that joke only works in film

[–] kambusha@feddit.ch 8 points 1 year ago

But maybe he was the true monster all along

The monster was basically also his son in a way, so he would also be Frankenstein.

Albert Einstein was a good guy, but his uncle Frank was a monster scientist.

Scary smart

And the scientist himself was the "monster". The individual he constructed from deceased bodies fell prey to the scientist's arrogance.

And the scientist himself was the “monster” of IQ test. The individual he constructed from deceased bodies fell prey to the scientist’s arrogance and intelligence.
