🧟‍♂️ del Toro’s *Frankenstein* (2025) is GORGEOUS… but did he betray Mary Shelley’s nightmare?

I break down the Netflix hit: Oscar Isaac’s traumatized Victor, Jacob Elordi’s *innocent* Creature, Mia Goth as girl-boss Elizabeth — and why the book’s **vengeful, eloquent monster** became **Jesus with stitches**.

From generational trauma to a *sunrise redemption*, this isn’t Shelley’s warning about hubris — it’s del Toro’s therapy session.

Is it subtle subversion? Or just monster comfort food?

💀 **7.8/10** – Beautiful, but at what cost?
