Kassandra Estes I love this comment

*sprays coffee across monitor and started coughing, spluttering and laughing* Ohh...i was not expecting it *wipes tears away* cheers mate!

This got me wheezing way too much

Yeah that’s basically it

HOLY COW

You can also hear the change in the voice from the deep rumblings of the prisoner to the higher pitched bellow of the monster just before

Also the convict design is very close to how Mary Shelley describes the creature in the book. I love the detail!!!

Woah, that is ingenious.

Mmm good stuff. *Chefs kiss*

The Creator will regret claiming him, too. Like, the very next day.

This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad moove

OH I JUST GOT THE POINT OF THE LINE

exactly the 1000th like

Poor choice of words.

Was the Creature’s consciousness that of the condemned man or his/its own?

HERO_DREAMER I haven’t watched the full musical (because the only full version I can find has terrible audio that really hurts my ears) but, from looking at the Wikipedia article plus listening to all the songs that the creature is a part of, that’s...undetermined? The creature doesn’t have the condemned man’s memories (he describes being reanimated as waking from a deep rest with no dreams or memories) but the two are very similar, so much so that the ‘what’s wrong, what’s right’ part is comes up a lot with the creature. Also, the creature asks what crime he’d committed to be worthy of such condemnation which could both be a nod to his past but also could be nothing. Basically, it’s possible but hard to tell

@@GlitchyPixExtra the audio is basically enough to understand the story, along with a summary of Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein". It's available on Spotify, and it's pretty good :)

HERO_DREAMER no its not the condemned man its just the creature the reason why the creature is cruel is because victor ran in fear from it when it was given life

@@ItsMzPhoenix It's own (I'm talking about the original story I haven't seen the musical) It's like a newborn, only the body of an adult

Poetic

Indeed, it is as in the story of John 8, except in the musical's case the ensemble would not listen to the prisoner's plea ("I have my sins as any man, but none more dark than yours... If it is I you choose to damn, innocent blood will stain your hands forevermore...") [I'll paste the passage here for anyone interested]: 2Now [a]early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4they said to Him, “Teacher, [b]this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5Now [c]Moses, in the law, commanded us [d]that such should be stoned. But what do You [e]say?” 6This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, [f]as though He did not hear. 7So when they continued asking Him, He [g]raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9Then those who heard it, being[h] convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Jesus had raised Himself up [i]and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers [j]of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go [k]and sin no more.”

So I can abandom him and ruin his life. 👍🏻 (But in all seriousness I want one of those too!)

MMMM oh honey YES

@whomst art thou hell yeah I've heard of spec ops guy, only thing stopping me from mailing an engagement ring is idk an address

For a second there I thought I was the only one who found the convict (monster-to-be) more interesting/appealing than Frankenstein in this video.

I was amazed that he learnt multiple languages just from spying on (a convenient plot dev- I mean) family.

@@sigridfage5101 I die XD

@@sigridfage5101 I mean not like that's wrong (since they both die at the end)

oh wow I lOVE THIS

What was his crime ?

@InkyStory Under what circumstances?

Thanks for answering my question.

Oh god 😨

Noblesse?

Creature: tf? Not you bitch

👍

The prisoner asked who dares to act as God, and is used for a base to create a being who'd go on to leave death in his wake.

Hehehe

Eh

technically the truth

"What man would dare to act as god" *[enter Frankenstein]*

Yup, and presumably he's being convicted of murder. We don't know whether he's guilty or not. They're saying he dared to act as God, and he's saying the same of them. Then Frankenstein waltzes in and decides to put a whole new meaning to acting as God. Just a whole bunch of hubris. But such fun staging and wordplay!

Delicious delectable irony~

Also interesting is when the prisoner on the gallows then asks his "creator to take him" and end his nightmare And immediately after those words, cue to Frankenstein and the man standing out in the next shot - Frankstein as his future creator, but only opening up another nightmare to the poor soul

Anyone who decides on killing another person “legally” or not, is and always will be wrong, life was given but it is not ours to take. How people live their lives by killing others direct or indirectly shows how unworthy they are of the life that was given to them.

I'd smash

Mainly because he had no idea what his ambitions would lead to.

Lowest of Trash I laughed like the joker

justine: **about to be hanged** victor, again: **heavy breathing**

oh my god... that's amazing

In the book the monster wasn't ugly or in stitches (though he had yellowish skin). The only thing ugly about him was his eyes.

That’s what happened to me

Very accurate and true.

he was hot but he was kinda jaundiced which i guess made people hate him? lame reason to hate someone but idk, ingolstadt will be ingolstadt ig

a mad case of uncanny valley I guess

Not hot, but he was _supposed_ to be. But of course Victor fucked up

Tom Ellis Loves U yeah victor purpously chose good body parts (including a handsome head)

I dont know if you meant it like that, but I heard like from "Hello" from book of mormon

@@littlemau1360 hello, my name is College Drop Out, and I would like to share with you resurrecting dead convicts!

Hi, my name is College Drop Out™ and you're watching disney channel

I somehow imagine victor saying this like Philip

Why is it always the college drop outs??

*T w i n k e n s t e i n* lmao

Not gonna lie, "Twinkenstein" has me dead and in stitches lmaooooo 😂

@InkyStory Oh man, I wish *wink*

@InkyStory quick question what the hell?

@InkyStory no, first Justine dies, then this, what has Victor been doing?! How has he attracted such a following? What will Elizabeth think?!

Same, to be honest, LOL. 🤣. I love _all_ of those musicals, or _any_ musicals, based on classical literature. _Especially_ _The Count of Monte Cristo_ ;that one's always been, and always will be my personal favorite of what I like to dub and call 'The Classical Literature Musical Genre'. 😁.

Lovely I'll take these as reccomendations

Frankenstein is my favorite novella so I'm extra hooked!

I'm glad someone appreciates the Count of Monte Christo as much as I do

Jekyll and Hyde was FIRE..

Thats it, im makeing trap fanart of frankenstein.

Please do

@@sanriodeppressionthermos8602 I Need It 🖤

Im really happy that im not the only one that calls him Adam

@@evelyneisenhower8338 Haha! Same here!

I agree that his name should be Adam but why do I say that? Why do people call him Adam?

honey_bee_cosplay since victor didn’t name him in the book other than ‘the creature’ a lot of us have taken to calling him ‘Adam’ after the ‘first man’ like Adam and Eve

Allison Carter omg I’m so dumb how did I not connect that!!! 🤣

Jekyll is the Real Mad Scientist Goal here.

i was gonna point out how this reminds me of the board of governors from the jekyll and hyde muscial!!

Dorian Gray: **angrily gestures at his portrait** Yeah! Who could possibly relate?!

@Caz Tailby Ngl - I love this comment

Funny enough Jekyll was a lot better with handling his problems it in the book then Victor lol

Same, not enough people know about this musical

Panic Panda 9994 I found out about this musical yesterday because of this animatic. I wholeheartedly agree that this musical needs more recognition because my ears are in heaven.

Same here. It so pretty, and I love the details on the hands and feet (I can't draw either of them lol)

Also since Ive been repeat watching this- I realize that compared to the book which is vague on Vic's actions (it was illegal to cadaver, but also v common to dig bodies up to experiment on- Vic goes past the line by piecing a man together of parts) compared to this musical where its the whole ass man and he openly takes him. So we hauntingly know the soul that used to inhabit the Monster. And we know from this song how violently he'd disapprove to what Victor has done. He is has peace in death and would never want a man to do God's work. Its sadder and more disturbing almost with this personification of what was only an empty corpse before

@@adrivoid5376 Is it every addressed whether or not there are remnants of the condemned man's mind/soul in the Creature? I don't quite understand.

Alright this is officially the best comment, everyone else go home

OMG this had me wheezing 😂. Best comment ever

Sometimes I wish that I could build a time machine so that I can show Mary Shelley the musical and, of course, this.

Probably? Oh she DEFINITELY would have approved.

The ending might throw her off a bit

@@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin yeah, the ending is pretty aggravating

@@Sergei_Ivanovich_Mosin what happened in the end?

@@RinRaven Fight! Fight! Fight!

Lol he can just be friends with Henry Clerval...(book reference)

Emily Hartlett brilliant word play and excellent analysis. There’s so many layers to this musical

this just gave me chills

Thank you for saying something

The line "IF IT IS I YOU CHOOSE TO DAMN INNOCENT BLOOD WILL STAIN YOUR HANDS FOREVER MORE." is also foreshadowing. It refers both to his execution and Victor cursing him with life and the subsequent bloodshed.

Yeah, that's a little upsetting

The entire song is cruel irony. The line "If it is I you chose to damn, Innocent blood will stain your hands forever more..." is extremely potent.

Yeah, I read about that. He used electrical currents to move the man's muscles.

Is there an article on these events I would love to read up on this

@@tenshishimura there is a really short documentary under 10 minutes by "vox" named "these real life experiments inspired frankenstein", you can find it after a quick google search

Ah that's the reason why he had that crazed look. Idk why at first I thought he looked traumatized but his look gave off this scary, unsettling vibe. Other than that, great animatic👍

me looking at a cockroach I found on my kitchen floor

Dang you put this accurately....Y e s

That blew me out of the water

If it is i you choose to damn, innocent blood will stain your hands forevermore” yep lotta blood

I love how Victor and the monster lock eyes right before he dropped too, and those lyrics “If no man shall mourn for me, I’ll trust in you. Amen.” Chills.

you're playing with fire when you start to play god!

Imagine his frustration if someone else claimed a body first.

@InkyStory Victor? Victor what are doing!? Oh no. But ready, that is hilarious.

@Bunbunfam Bruh😂

Nicole Campos was he wrong though?

Yeah, perfect and beautiful. Except for yellowed skin that looked mummified and unsettling eyes. It’s the eyes that leads Victor to abandon him. What’s really cool about the text is that it’s got several interpretations so you can argue whether or not that’s the true reason or if Victor abandons the creature because he’s realized what’s he’s done. Sorry about the spiel, I’ve done a fair amount of research on Frankenstein.

@@lololo1186 And the monster spoke fluently, and not in broken sentences like how modern media portrays him. I love how it's the sailor's story explaining Frankenstein's monster's story, who then explain Victor whole life story.

Victor x his Monster

I mean, he wanted it to be beautiful. He picked every part to make it beautiful. That's also part of why he got so horrified with The monster's final appereance

He we from a twink to a twunk to a twank

Yanden Gray Jekyll*

The man frankenstein made was actaully called Adam

@@dustyrose192 no he wasnt. He doesn't actually have a name, this misconception comes from the fact that in the book he says 'I ought to be thy Adam.'

@ Wait Was the one being hanged the person who Frankenstein uses to make Frankenstein's monster or is the one being hanged already Frankenstein's monster

@ Oh ok Thanks

God I love this double joke

And he will refuse to hear anything the dead man sais to him as well.

And that probably means that he sometimes spend whole nights digging up a corpse and then threw it back into the grave because it was too ugly.

Well, the Monster was also incredibely unnatural looking, with patches of grafted skin and incredible strength and size.

He was very uncanny. He had weird eyes, patchy skin due to many bits of skin grafted together, was pulled taut over the body making the musculature underneath weirdly visible. He was pretty handsome but also kinda disturbing all at once.

If I remember right he's discribe as both pretty and ugly in the book it's, actually kinds confusing

👏 heck 👏 yeah 👏

SAME

ME TOO Gods I wish more people made more animatics about musicals other than Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton etc. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful and all but there are so many underrated songs in Broadway that would make great animatics

Which one?

Both twink and twunk

@Bunbunfam *ahem* _future_ twunk

Steve Blanchard! 🔥🖤😍🔥

I thought this too. You aren't alone.

The guy with the black hair IS the monster.

I actually had to go and look up the musical! The convict and Dr. Frankenstein have no connection beyond Victor showing up at his hanging.

@@RekEStore32 Oh really? My bad then. I haven't watched the musical but I read the book, so I assumed based on the long hair's appearance.

But then he built it into an eight foot creature, with yellowed skin, watery yellowed eyes, black lips and out of parts that he gathered from a slaughterhouse as well as from a dissection room- also, he often describes humans in general as beautiful, so maybe he didn't differentiate there as much

Yeah but dead isn't exactly a good look on anyone. Even those were stunning in life. Sallow skin, stitched together (skin probably doesn't match), sunken in eye, over 7ft.

givefreedom oh, also repeatedly people run away screaming at the sheer sight of the creature, and Victor himself stated that he had to improvise because the human body was too filigree to work with, so he made it way more bulky than he originally planned to

Ugh, no one gets what I mean. I’m saying, the monster is always perceived as that patchwork *thing* that’s actually disgusting. He looked nicer that that thing, I know it wasn’t gorgeous, guys, I’m saying that weird thing is commonly used to portray it. And I’m disappointed some people think Frankenstein was the monster

I’m not quite sure I understand anymore- what “weird thing” was used to “portray” what now? And who mixed up Frankenstein and his creature here?

hello here i am again to appreciate this glorious piece of art. if youtube gave us a wrapped i guarantee you this animatic would have been in my top 10 for 2019 lol

It's chilling! And brilliant!

Wait, how???

(Save for the few who know that the monster's mate never actually comes back to life, and is destroyed before she is even finished because Victor is an a**hole with terrible foresight...)

@@silversamurai0267 I got to that part of the book this morning! He destroyed her in front of him!

Sounds like the beginning of a harem anime to me.

Monster: I need a mate! Victor Frankenstein: Well, I'm not risking making anoth- Everyone in the comments: WE'RE ALREADY MADE AND REARING TO GO!

And then he proceded to never listen to anything the Dead tried to say to him... Well done, boy.

@@j.a.shawkins7640 Wait, wait, wait. Adam like Adam and Eve? That's a genius allusion.

@@user-br3yz9dw3m Hee hee! You'll get no argument from me! The copy I read, Victor didn't SAY that, though, or else I missed that part. So, I just kinda made do with a name I was obsessed with at the time. ^_^ Adam is an excellent name, though~! ^_^

@@j.a.shawkins7640 he didn't. And neither did the Creature say such (he did say "I ought to be thy Adam" so there's the reference).

Yeah from looking at the comments it does seem to be a misconception, or just a misunderstanding of the monsters words. I WILL however say calling him Adam would be a genious allusion to The First Man, Which with the monster is certainly the first of the reborn men in the story. So misunderstanding or not, I certainly say it’s fitting.

We're not wrong.

Honestly we aren’t wrong

He kinda was, being rich and excentric nerdy and stuff.
