I swear to god this movie needs to be mandatory viewing for all those alpha-male nonsense spouting men with podcasts. LIKE ok - look at this. This dude has no tongue, literal worms and creepie crawlies are falling out of him from both ends, AND YET just because his first thought when he gets a full pair of functional hands is to confidently invite his best girl to dance with him, he's ADORABLE. I'm ALL IN.
i know they underutilized the frankenstein aspect in the movie but it really does feel like the creature was perfectly created for lisa regardless. from what we saw, he spent his whole life lonely; dead parents, isolating social life, failed romantic prospects, the whole shebang, but he never gets to do anything about it because he dies, suddenly and unstoppably. until he’s suddenly alive again and the whole world is different but there’s this girl who tended to his grave when nobody else would have given him that respect, who’s experiencing the same things he did who actually has the chance to get back at the people who didn’t care for her, one tiny bit of familiarity to him… of course he’s going to kill for her just to see her happy.
The more I think about it, the more romantic it is that Creature got Lisa Michael's dick. I imagine his thoughts as, "If that's the dick she wants, that's the dick she's gonna get" and then he went and got it for her. It's almost equivalent to coming home with a bouquet of flowers, just longer-lasting and more useful
on that note if a pretty girl let my head rest on her lap while she tenderly patched me up and let me borrow her clothes and sang a love song while I played an accompaniment and asked me to use her magic wand on her before we shared a bed for the first time I think I would also assume our relationship was not entirely platonic
Been thinking about the vibrator scene in Lisa Frankenstein under the context of medical hysteria in women in the Victorian era. Since the vibrator was literally invented for doctors around 1870 to not get finger cramps when treating hysteria. (A cure for hysteria was orgasm). While the creature had died before 1870, i wonder how this framed that interaction considering Lisa mentions she needs this bc of stress anxiety and tension. So instead of a strictly sexual situation, the creature probably had thoughts like "Wow medical science has gone so far this is so easy to treat now."
Being able to freely move his body again, to feel some semblance of life after over a century of lying in that grave rotting. Up to this point, he's been so stiff, lumbering around arduously. But this is where he becomes more man than corpse.
And the first thing he does with his newfound life?
He dances with Lisa.
He knows there is a piano inside. He could go in and play it for her, he could finally play music after nearly 200 years without it. But he dances with Lisa.
With his new life, all he wants to do is be with Lisa. To touch her, love her, make her happy. He has all this energy and he gives it all to her. Everything is for her.

God, I'll never get over this. He heard her coming, axe in hand, and didn't turn around. He had no intention of defending himself. He was going to let her take his life if she felt she needed to. He didn't even turn around until he heard the axe hit the ground.
Just. The way he looks at her when he realizes she's not going to hurt him. He's so devoted to her, so in love.
