Both of your posts are really interesting. If only Rumple and Frankenstein could sit down an have a rational debate on the topic, I’ll bet they’d have a grand old time. 😉
This is a tweet of Adam’s I saw just before:
our world = no magic til now. Victors world = magic whether he knew it or not
The posts in this thread have got me thinking about how Victor perceived his world. Seems like he’s one of those pioneers who first started investigating magic in a new way, creating the principles of science in the process.
I admit, when it first seemed that they were gonna introduce science fiction to the show through Frankenstein, I thought it seemed out of place. But now that I’m thinking about it, it’s actually kind of brilliant that they’ve introduced this new element to further the definition of magic and how it’s perceived by and used by different people.
