Frankenstein ... but it's told through Vines

Please enjoy this retelling of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein, now with 100% more Vines and at least 200% more stupidity. Shelley, I hope I've made you proud.
Also, gotta give credit where credit is due - I've been wanting to try something like this ever since Overly Sarcastic Productions made their 'deVINE deities' series, which is amazing and you should GO CHECK OUT NOW! • di-VINE OLYMPIANS
Also, after re-reading the book for this video, I realized something; what the hell happened to Victor's middle brother Ernest? So, like Creature kills Elizabeth. Victor comes home. His dad dies. He leaves to go Creature-geo-catching. BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO ERNEST? WHERE IS HE? DID HE JOIN THE ARMY LIKE HE WANTED TO? VICTOR JUST UP AND LEFT HIS STILL-TEENAGE BROTHER ALONE TO GO MONSTER HUNTING? WHERE IS THIS POOR BOI?! THESE ARE QUESTIONS I HAVE.
Well, I guess that's middle-child-syndrome for ya. Sorry Ernest.

[@professionalnerd4055]

I have read part of the book and have a basic idea of the plot, but I don't really know the characters out side of Victor Frankenstein and the actual monster.

[@flyingkoifish1011]

Frakenstien believes he is God. Decides to create life. The creature he made had beautiful bod, but those eyes where too weird. Abandoned him. Monster goes to live under a shack of some nice people, teaches himself to talk and read. The creature is capable of complex though and now wants companionship. Tries to befriend the nice family, bit they think he is a robber (I think, it's something along those lines). Upset by the rejection he burns down their house. Goes to find Frankenstein 'cause all he wants is a bae. Meets Frankenstein's baby brother and kills him, and frames one of Frankenstiens maid for it. Frankenstein knows it the monster, and (if I remember right) runs away. Until the monster catches up to him and demands that he make him a bae, and then he will leave him alone. Frankenstein agrees, makes most of the monster girl, but then chickens and disposes the body. The creature gets triggered and threatens to 'be there on his wedding night.' Frankenstein cant stop being the center of the universe, and thinks the monster will murder him on his wedding night. GETS MARRIED ANYWAY!! Surprise, surprise, the monster visits and murders his wife. Driven to the edge, Frankenstien chases the creature to the south (or north, can't remember exactly) where he is found half frozen to death. Dies on the ship after telling his tale to the leader of the expedition that found him. The monster comes in spoirs some lines, then jumps out of the window, to what we can presume, to commit suicide. We are left with the man that Frankenstein told his whole story to, pondering the tale he just told. And deciding that he cannot fall into the same folly that Frankenstein did, and abandons his stupidly dangerous expedition to the north (or south pole, still cant remember which)

Idk if I’d agree the books said he was attractive. Almost everyone the Creature met ran away in horror at his appearance. While Victor had “selected his features to be beautiful” when finally awoken the mix of features, along with his size, didn’t seem to mesh well.

But we shouldn't limit ourselves by always sticking to creating original characters and never take advantage of the treasure trove that is the Public Domain. But like with all things that are treasure, we should treat it with respect and not throw it around like a toy, and not take too much. I might be a little long-winded about this, but it's early in the morning and I wondered how one should respond to this. Have a lovely day! -J.M.

@@Doctor_17 I should have been more clear. Writing it is fine, publishing it and profiting off of it is, in my opinion, scummy. It is still fan-fiction if it is in the public domain, because just because it belongs" to the people doesn't change anything. How would a story written in 1924 be fan fiction, but a story written in 1923 (the public domain cut off date) not he fan-fiction. I don't feel comfortable when people profit off of public domain works, because yes, they belong to the people, but they still have an original author. They're still people who existed and put so much work into their novels and plays--they wrote original characters. It's bizarre for people today to say, "Oh, I like that, I'll take him" as if the public domain were a shopping mall. Write it, fine, whatever, but in my opinion, it is gross for people to make money off of something that is not, and never will be, completely original. Think about how 50 Shades of Grey is published Twilight fan-fiction. It's weird and scummy. Why shouldn't fanfiction of better novels, like Frankenstein, be looked at with the same, "How did you get away with this?" I don't see how the publication date matters. I love the Public Domain because it lets people have access to the works, and that's wonderful, but people are like vultures, waiting to seize upon what someone else wrote for their own benefit. Now, I have some exceptions to this "Don't make money on fan-fiction" rule: 1.) Changing media (I.E. turning a novel into a movie, musical, television show, etc.) 2.) Parody (Such as "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged") Ultimately: writing a story based on someone else's creation = great, get to it, have fun Publishing it and making money = weird

@@pandakatiefominz Ah, I see. Thank you for helping me understand. I do agree, and I would never publish any work based on someone else's to make any profit. I only write it because I love the characters. I doubt I'll ever be able to in the first place. I do not want to be scummy, and I will never claim any of my works to be original if based on Frankenstein or any property in the public domain.

[@annredd3708]

Yes! two things I really like mixed together: Frankenstein and Vines.

[@MadiCarl]

I love this. I've actually never read the original book but this makes me really want to because it was so different from what I thought the story was! *furiously drives to the nearest Barnes & Noble*

[@floof_hair3857]

Madi Carl The books not under copyright, just download the pdf off of Gutenberg press

[@kreepstina]

I absolutely adore this! "Absolute unit" in the drawing, I mean, yes!? True!? 😂 So glad I found this

[@nightingail10]

I feel like this really captures the vibes of the book extremely accurately Also this is the best thing ive ever seen

[@TrekkerLLAP]

God this is so good......THANK YOU for making this and THANK YOU for making his hair long and dark I'm so tired of Creatures that are Wrong

[@TheOverArchiver]

Hey, Red sent me from Twitter! Great job!

[@vinx.9099]

same. amazing.

[@sotiria_lazaridou]

this is insanely accurate

[@justanotherchannelonyoutub126]

As someone who read (and loved) the book, this was spot on. Great Job! Also, congrats on getting a shoutout from one of your inspirations, OSP, on Twitter

[@tatatamor]

0:45 Boi I can't _the smirk_

[@m33zerella]

Frankenstein? More like... Franken...vines. *Haha*

[@Booklover-coffeelover]

I finished the book a couple of days ago and I can't get it out of my mind. This is not only satisfying but also HILARIOUS

[@airyeet3847]

I am not ashamed to say this is literally the only GCSE revision for the book I’ve done so far and most likely the only revision I’ll do

[@green-wk5li]

I was not expeating the ‘welcome to physics’ vine for the creature’s awakening and let me tell you I needed to pause and wipe my eyes I was cackliNGG

[@cookiegal7340]

As some who had to read this book twice this year, for Academia Decathlon and AP Lit, I can safely say this video was super accurate and a work of art

[@batterybroken]

My dude, I haven’t seen most of these vines but this was wonderful. 😂

[@tashacook8847]

I think this is the funniest thing my eyeballs have ever seen

[@dimsunstuff]

This is the best storytelling ever what the hell! what a ride I cry-laughed the whole time

[@KiwyGal]

Ok this is amazing ! Love the animation, and really liked the transitions as well. You can tell it's inspired by OSP but it's also clearly your thing with your style, and it works really well, love it !

[@vvarx]

Thank you so much! Red is such an inspiration to me and has really inspired me to try making more of my own videos - I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@dreamydragonyx1110]

Not a weird idea. A great idea. I looooved this! I didnt think id like the book but i ended up crying throughout the book. I made a presentation at college about how both characters showed many similarities and how both characters were both human, there was no "good guy" and "bad guy". Plus HECK YA HENRY IS DA MAN! But honestly i cried for Victor alot

[@kingkrashgames]

this is the type of quality content I roam the depts of youtube for, have a like good sir

[@chtchp]

I'm so glad someone made a video about Frankenstein based on a book and not a musical. The idea of doing it in vines made viewing very enjoyable because I was crying like a bitch over the book... Thank you very much!❤❤❤

[@amyarcher3241]

The Creature is so funny omg. this is AMAZING

[@cartergirl531]

the specific line references really put it over the top, holy frick you're incredible

[@LM-et6yt]

the "you better watch out" part is my favourite!! also i love that you included the passages from the novel 💓

[@DuchessRococoPuff]

This is actually a really succinct and entertaining summary of the novel. Great animation too!

[@MatryoshkasInsanity]

This is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. Frankenstain is one of my fave books and you made me want to read it again this video is pure art 😍😍
