Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
if you're a reader of the story, you know that the monster considered the doctor to be his father. so calling the monster Frankenstein is just accepting that perspective... not accepting it could be detrimental to you and your family and friends health.... don't piss off the monster is pretty much what I am saying
His name is Adam Frankenstein
His name was Robert Paulson.
Your MOM was Robert Paulsen!
Bob had bitch-tits.
Shelley kinda designed them to be doppelgΓ€nger, so you could also argue that they are the same.
If only Mary Shelley knew the eternal chaos she caused by not giving that green monster a name.
He wasn't even green in the original story.
Adam?
Junior
That was my memory! Wasnβt he named Adam?
Oh yeah. I think you're right. So why do so few people remember that?
He's not named Adam, he only compares himself to the biblical Adam at some point.
He's not named Adam, he only compares himself to the biblical Adam at some point.
I don't recall the doctor being green, though?
Woah, Frankenstein reboot idea, the Doctor was the puppet master of the monster so they were actually one in the same. The monster mimics all the Docs moves because replacing a brain is hard so he just used tech.
the real monster is always in the comments
the real monster is Hey what's that behind you?
Maybe the real monster was the friends we met along the way π€·π»
Not quite the same idea but try reading "jekyll and hyde"
Never heard of it. /s
Does this mean that the monster and his creator had access to a TARDIS?
One and the same
isn't it frunkenshtine
His name is Frankenstein Smonster
If Victor Frankenstein created "The Frankenstein Monster," then the monster would inherit his paternal surname, making them both Frankensteins proper. It's one of Victor's failings that he did not give "The Monster Frankenstein" a proper first name, along with his failing in abandoning his creation.
Didn't Frankenstein's creation take on the name "Adam?"
Shit maybe, if so I don't remember, gonna need to reread/watch something other than Young Frankenstein (which I watch yearly lol).
Still, then his name is Adam Frankenstein, he still inherits the surname (unless he chose one of those too and I forgot lol).
Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it's his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like "Frankenstein". I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that...
The joke is Frankenstein is the doctor from the novel by the same name (the mad scientist). He ordered the beverage, but he confused the monster who is also waiting for his drink. The monster from the novel Frankenstein has no name, but people call him Frankenstein after the book's name, so it's a play on that confusion.
Ah, yeah, I did get it after looking at the comments, but thanks. π
Awkward.
People say βFrankenstein was the doctorβ, but he never even graduated!
Transcription
A cartoon of a woman standing next to a coffee machine, holding out a takeaway coffee container. She smiles as she asks "Frankenstein?"
The same woman, now with no visible mouth, in a wider shot, showing two figures raising their hands and looking at each other: a man in a lab coat, glasses, and with grey frizzly hair, and a depiction of "Frankenstein's monster" as soon in popular culture.
The barista would have written down Liechtenstein.
Lol, I was about to react with an "ackshuly" that is the precise point of this cartoon. Well played.
Since the creature depicted is the extremely unfaithful to the book Boris Karloff version, sure, he can be named Frankenstein. The book version would not be, though.
