Who is Dr. Whale? New points to consider

[TheGoldenKey]

@ TheOnionGirl,

I agree. They also have Disney’s Frankenweenie coming out this October. They’ve done werewolves so no reason why they can’t do Dr. Frankie.

And Thomas Schumacher, Disney’s Theatrical Productions President, is doing “Young Frankenstein” off Broadway this year. The name ‘Schumacher’ appears on a piece of paper, on the desk in the Untold Stories app. There’s also an author by the name of Schumacher, Her novel is about a book club and one of the novels they discuss in the book club is Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

I don’t remember Dr. Frankenstein being such a womanizer like Whale is. In the new promo, it seems like he’s more interested about the possibility of dating a nun rather than trying to get “home” or address one of the millions issues they are facing.

In the 1970 movie, The Horror of Frankenstein, he certainly is portrayed as a womanizer.

You know…maybe I’m warming up to the Frankenstein theory a bit…

If Regina used the magic portals in the hat to pull Dr. Frankenstein out of his world in hopes that he could bring Daniel back to life for her- I could buy that. It would give a reason for such an out of place character to be present. I’m not entirely on board, but at least I found a way that the theory would make sense!

Could be Whale is portrayed as a womanizer because he’s been stuck in Storybrooke for 28 yrs and hasn’t really ‘dated’ much. Maybe the curse effected him differently than the ppl from FTL. If he is Dr Frankenstein, that means he came from ‘our world’, was pulled into FTL and was there when the curse took place…maybe he had his memories all along…would also explain the tension between him and Regina.

…you know what (sorry.. im jumping in here.. havent posted much at all) you made me realize something else that I felt was flawed with this whole Frankie theory. I didn’t understand why he would be one of the only outsiders that would be there.. but If he were Frankie, and his duty was to bring back her boo.. and was unable to…that would explain him in SB. If he was unsuccessful in his attempt to revive deary Danny boy.. then she’d not be a huge fan of him, therefore damning him along with the rest of EF. We could also see this moment of failure prove to be a vital turning point in her using magic, etc for whatever negative things she deemed fit.

I think I posted this, but apparently was mistaken. I was just taking a look at the Untold Stories on Facebook. Dr. Whale, according to Archie’s notes, “frames himself as victor in all conflicts.”

And Dr. Frankenstein’s first name is … 😀

TheOnionGirl wow!!! somehow we never connected the dots! I don’t care what anyone else says, I’m adding that to the pile of evidence!

I’m wondering if, before the curse, Dr Whale had a romance with The Blue Fairy. Now his memory has returned, maybe he wants to get back with her, hence his asking Charming whether nuns could date in the promo.

There was the tweet from David Anders a while back, mentioning the colours red, white, and blue. Some wondered if it was a cryptic clue, and If he did have a thing for the blue fairy, that would link him to Red, Snow White and The Blue Fairy.
