Please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't gargoyles also used to ward off evil? So I could make a little sense in that context. Thanks for the great work!!! Love your content!!!
Joshua Stacy I remember seeing comments years ago of people complaining about the intro so maybe that's why? Or maybe it's because of RU-vid copyrighting videos for no reason
You think the next HP Lovecraft month will include that weird CGI animated movie series, Howard Lovecraft? A series about his work, made for kids, and us about Lovecraft as a child? And stars Doug Bradley and Mark Hamill? Yep. This is a thing.
Gargoyles and Frankenstine's Monster, two of my favorite things ever. How could they make something so fsking bad? I'm glad I never got around to seeing this pile of rubble while it was in theaters. It's a shame they didn't actually pull anything from gargoyle mythology, which is heavily tied up in the history of christian art. During the French Gothic period we saw a focus on creating incredable spires and dramatic flying butressess in gorgeous cathedrals made in the name of worship. To make such structures work they required large water spouts and other support features, so there was a surge in creating fancy grotesques, sculptures of fearsome creatures meant to turn away harm while hiding various building elements, with specialized grotesques used to decorate functional downspouts known as gargoyles.... strangely it is the term gargoyle that has persisted in English to refer to all grotesques. Prior to the French Gothic period, Jesus was depicted with heavy stylization which made him seem completely otherworldly, and focused on showing him as a king and judge - imagery popularized by the Byzantine era, a Jesus who would never tolerate a gargoyle. With the French Gothic period there was a shift toward depicting Jesus in a more realistic form, highlighting his aspects of kindness and forgiveness, depicting his fatherly love toward creation, even extending forgiveness to demons who realized the wrongness of their actions and desired to repent for their sins. Gargoyles are these repentant demons who are accepted by Jesus, allowing them to shelter on hallowed grounds, serving penance by protecting those within the church. Gargoyles are proof of the unlimited potential of love and redemption, that all people can find peace in god, no matter the circumstances of their birth or life, but from a desire to do good. It's a shame that all this demon redemption never made it into any of the cannon (and the sentiments they represent are so often forgotten).
I enjoyed your review. I remember seeing this in the theater thinking it would be funny bad. It was just tediously bad. I'm surprised you didn't mention how poor the makeup design is for Adam. He actually mentions at one point that he is made up of parts of several different people sewn together. But he sure doesn't look like it. The filmmakers clearly wanted a "sexy Frankenstein's Monster" for the teen audience.
Which is funny cause many teen girls specifically like monstrous looking creatures. Hell, people always like the way the Beast looks before he becomes human
I always thought that would be a cooler way to go about portraying the monster. Give him mismatches skintones, parts that look more wrinkled or decayed, maybe have one arm a little longer the other, shit give him different colored eyes. Something besides stylized scars to show that he's made of multiple corpses.
Just discovered your channel a couple weeks ago. It's fantastic. I love the stuff that you review, and the style in which you review them. Looking forward to more videos. Also... I love that you (also) have The Beast mounted on your wall. ;)
Nice to see a new video! I found your videos when I broke my leg last summer and was out of work due to a broken leg. I hope you come up with more soon, no more 3 month wait! lol
@@deusdeaconReviews lol In no way is that a bad thing. I love it, I always miss the details while watching movies. I easily get distracted by the shiny stuff. Well done as usual and welcome back!
Ok, this is why you're my favourite reviewer of these kinds of movies. You just have so much knowledge and information of all the different stories and texts that you can immediately identify when something is a smart reference or when they make a mistake. Especially fascinating to learn about the Lesser Stories of Solomon for example in this review and learning a bit more about the gargoyle stuff
Was just thinking the other day "man Deus hasnt posted in a bit" glad to see a new video Edit: how fitting you started off by talking about your Underworld reviews since those vids are how I discovered you in the first place
I checked your channel last night to see if you had posted anything I'd missed. I thought to myself "dang, it's been months. I hope he hasn't fucked off RU-vid" Happy to see you upload. You've been missed.
I can't wait to see eventual episode reviews of Hannibal, Deus, like your Constantine reviews. Also, considering Constantine is now canon with the Arrowverse, will we see any reviews of his appearances in Legends of Tomorrow?
I’m fine you should know I’m streaming on twitch 5 days a weeks so you can still find me there www.twitch.tv/deusdaecon my camera person is self isolation so I couldn’t film things but I think I’ve found a alternative and a new video will be out soon
I was wondering where you went brother. Glad you're back Maybe do Contagion next? Sorta relevant and all... Plus I'd like to see your take on the movie
Although I was in the cinema to see this film, I really just saw it the first time via your video, as I fell asleep during the the first ten minutes or so and then slept through the whole thing, I think that was for the better 😅
Nice to see you back, great video and happy 2020! Also the Three Laws of i-Frankenstein: First Law: Frankenstein may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Second Law: Frankenstein must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Third Law: Frankenstein must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
I absolutely love your channel. Keep up the great work. Also please look into the movie “Don’t Blink”. A review of it would be prefect for your channel. 🤞
with the broken-neck scientist guy, it would have been a kinda neat reference to have something resembling the classic neck bolts on him, explained as an apparatus for keeping his head/neck in place and since that's the injury that killed him.
