I know it’s an adaptation and all but i must feel if your version ends with Frankenstein learning his lesson about hubris and having found his humanity you’re not adapting the novel anymore.

I hate to say it everyone I liked the visuals of Frankenstein but I actually don’t rate this adaptation, the story felt way too “Hollywood-ified” 🥲
