ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
Mary Shelley (the author of Frankenstein) was British so the red, white and blue tweet could also be a reference to the Union Jack.
Wow – I’m seriously impressed at the thought you two have put into this, and judging by what you’ve come up with, I’d be shocked if Dr Whale turns out to be anyone other than Dr Frankenstein.
After reading your suggestion of the ogres perhaps being the creatures that Dr Frankenstein created, I found a picture of an ogre, side by side with an image of Marvel’s Dr Frankenstein’s Monster and the likeness is striking. Actually I think it may be your photograph (not you literally but one you’ve put together lol) so I’ll leave that for you to post if you wish.
I also found it interesting that the ogre we’ve seen, is described as “scarred ogre” in a few articles. Plus the clothes that his Storybrooke counterpart, the “burly man”, wears (presumably as a uniform for his job as the maintenence man) loosly resemble the attire of a Frankenstein’s Monster seen outside of the show.
