Talk:Frankenstein vs. Baragon/@comment-343942-20140309122024

Though it probably wouldn't have meshed well with the giant monster theme of the movie, I find myself wishing Toho had invested more inspiration from the novel into their version of the Frankenstein monster. I'm a big fan of the Universal films, but after reading the novel, I find myself missing the original creature's wit and tragic desire for acceptance. It's kind of a shame that such an identifiable character has been overshadowed by his less intelligent, and now stereotypical, Universal incarnation.

I'm probably putting too much thought into this, though. Let's face it, when Toho sets out to make a monster movie, they make a monster movie, and a pretty enjoyable one at that.
