      #AnaWatches Adam gives us a quick rundown of that whole book thing. He says he's immune to cold, which I can't remember if that's canon or not. After Doctor Frankie died, Adam took him back to his family cemetery and buried him.

      It doesn't specifically say anything like that in the book but it's vaguely implied by him having survived in the Arctic so long

      True, true. I thought I remembered him bundling up in, you know, coats, but it might just be for the aesthetic.

      He's hardy enough to spend his entire life living outdoors, so if it isn't a superpower it's a perfect human thing. (Extensive musculature, excellent stamina, and seven feet tall; this is what happens when sleep-deprived lonely undergrads create life rather than go to the pub.)

      It actually says he had to make all the Creature's parts larger-than-life so they were big enough to sculpt the details by hand Which is kind of hilarious, and also actively goes against the "pieced together from corpses" explanation from all the adaptations

      Yeah, he's a homunculus rather than a D&D Flesh Golem. You'd think Victor explicitly reading Paracelsus would have given adaptors a hint, but...

      But the scavenged-corpses thing makes so much more sense to me, and here we are.

      I am, personally, a partisan against the idea that the book ever seriously meant that the Creature was made from corpses - the book alludes to Victor developing his method by looting charnel houses and slaughterhouses, but to me it indicates that's for study, not raw material

      Oh, yeah, no, I think you've both clearly established that the adaptational choices of corpse-parts was a departure from the book, I just understand why because it's- intuitively, reuse is easier than making something complicated from scratch.

      It's easier (for me) to believe Victor stumbled into how to reanimate a corpse (or a collection of corpses) than to imagine him making an entire human body from scratch. It's so COMPLICATED.

      Yeah, old school writers underestimated how complicated biology was RUR, which was obviously inspired by Frankenstein, talks about "spinning nerves" and "weaving muscle fibers on great looms" on the factory floor

          That's such a delightful metaphor and yet I'm also screaming because no.

          Well like RUR Robots are really fundamentally not supposed to be human at all and just machines designed to look human Even though the ending wildly contradicts that but whatever
