Seems to me that they are saying that Dr. Whale will be a beast of some sort. Taking into account that they said his FT identity will be on par with Rumple’s Beast and Ruby’s Wolf, it leads one to believe that Dr. Whale will be a beast/monster of some sort. Peter Pan was a youth not an adult so that rules out that theory. I’m going with Dr. Frankenstein at this stage of the game as there are so many clues leading towards it. K&H said that Marvel Comic book characters could come into play at some point. So, let’s start with the bouquet of flowers Dr. Whale sent to MM. They were wrapped in purple tissue tied with yellow ribbon. A Marvel Comic book shows a purple Frankenstein freeing himself of yellow tape Dr. Frankenstein bound him in. K&H also said, in reference to the Red Handed episode, that Dr. Whale couldn’t be tied down. Well neither could Frankenstein apparently, either in the comic book or in the movies as he always broke free of his straps. James WHALE directed the 1931 movie Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff as the monster. James Whale was also portrayed in the 1988 movie “Gods & Monsters”. His critics said in doing the movie Frankenstein, we could interpret this as “his feeling that he was a misunderstood outsider, a lonely monster”. Both Dr. Frankenstein & the monster felt persecuted and misunderstood (Archie’s last entry for Dr. Whale). Dr. Frankenstein’s famous quote in the movie “Oh, in the name of God! Now I know what it feels like to be God!” (God complex). In Dr. Whale’s dating clip he talks about listening to the best of Sting. Sting did a remake of James Whale’s Bride of Frankenstein in 1985 called The Bride. In this movie, the monster’s name was Viktor. Note that Dr. Frankenstein’s first name in Mary Shelley’s novel was also Victor (framed as victor of all conflicts). Dr. Whale also talks about sparks flying in his dating video and a single carnation. We all know sparks flew in creating Frankenstein via electricity. Boris Karloff starred in 2 episodes of a ’50’s series called Climax. One episode was titled “The White Carnation”. We already have an old horror movie werewolf (Ruby) so why not Dr. Frankenstein or the monster? There is a connection between the two as they show up together in many films, thus Dr. Whale’s interest in Ruby. A synonym for whale is monster. On Gold’s desk there is a piece of paper with the name Schumacher written on it. A friend of mine, Michelle Straub, noted that Thomas Schumacher is Disney’s Theatrical Productions President and just announced that “Young Frankenstein” is going to be ‘Off – Broadway”. She has also recently discovered that Damon Lindelof – consultant for OUAT and co-creator of LOST with Kitsis and Horowitz (OUAT creators) is the writer/producer of the movie “Prometheus” (released 6/8/12). Mary Shelly’s novel is actually titled “Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus” So all the characteristics in Archie’s diary seem to point in this direction. Now we have photos of something occurring with Dr. Whale’s arm or possibly him having his arm torn off. Does he have his arm in the cooler so he can surgically sew it back on? Lots to ponder. Oh, let’s not forget that his identity reveal will be on the Halloween episode. Werewolves & Frankie! Love it!
