You know, I always thought I could be a good dancer if I wanted to be

ALL KNIVES OUT MOVIES ARE ABOUT DRINKING THE RESPECT WOMEN JUICE.

ALL KNIVES OUT MOVIES ARE ABOUT FUCKING AROUND AND FINDING OUT.

The creature is very animal-like, just in general. A bit more feral than the average human. In sound and action and preference and understanding. Gotta treat him a little bit like a nice pet, idk. Blud don’t know words.

Shelley's Victor is young and immature and his immaturity it's the root of his ambition. The obsession with playing god comes from the childish notion that he can. He builds the creature messily. With stolen corpses and animal organs sewn un-uniformly in the midst of a frenetic trance. It's all blood and guts and dirt in his student apt's basement

Del Toro's Victor, however, is a much older man. He knows better. He's not horrified with The Creature's grotesque nature. He takes care in his task. He does it meticulously. Like dancing or orchestring a song. Like composing poetry.

When Shelley's Victor faces the creature, he's horrified. When Del Toro's Victor faces the creature, he's amazed. Shelley's Victor didn't consider the grotesque nature of his creation, thus entering a state of madness, sickness and detachment from his being. He's only a teenager, for God's sake, he's hardly 20. Barely, even. Some deep part of him wasn't even sure he would made it. But holy shit, he did. And he was so scared of what he made.

Del Toro's Victor. Oh Victor. He's sadistic to some extent. He wants to parade the creature like a big dog, but doesn't want to train him. It's just a project. A taxidermied owl. He's proud of it at first. Then he gets disappointed by what he considers a lack of intelligence and what that may say about him.

These two versions of the same character say so much about them but even more about how their creation would be. Shelley's creature is faced first with horror and disgust so that's all he knows until he learns there's love and resents the world and specially Victor for not allowing him to be loved. Del Toro's creature, on the other side, is met with gentleness first. With kindness and compassion. So, despite all the hostility around him, he decides to preserve that. Because he knows he's capable of being loved deep in his heart.

Limp FASTER!

HIS SMILE IS SO WHOLESOME ❤️

This way people can "protect themselves from witchers, and banish them". And since the witcher can't taste the honey, the human is safe from retaliation! The monster hunter won't know who harmed them!
