Spoekekickenkicker– Frankenstein was a man of serious purpose and ambition. Whale seemed a man of ego and libido but we really only saw a few scenes to set up his personality. Frankenstein-Whale post curse seemed like a drunken mess of wasted plot potential tossed aside for a few jokes more than an attempt to fashion a whole character. The whole science versus magic thing ending in a crushed neck of missed opportunities. Was Whale-F capable of growing and changing? We’ll never know entirely but we saw a moment of friendship of sorts start to form between him and Red, “monster to monster”. You’re right, sending her off with him is too soon in a happily ever after romance way but they could write them out as dealing with werewolves in his own world or something–maybe just say Sydney and Jefferson go too! They filmed a scene with King George and cut it, so I wonder what other things make sense to the writers but not to us because of things like this–we were all wondering what they did with George ( I wonder where he is in the EF since not chained in the mines now!).
I just want the obvious gaps about characters who logically we ought to hear a peep from or about to be mentioned, at least given some explanation and dismissed. I’d want much more screen time for them but as it is I feel we don’t see enough of all the central characters actively in the main plot.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
