If only Mary Shelley knew the eternal chaos she caused by not giving that green monster a name.
He wasn’t even green in the original story.
Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it’s his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like “Frankenstein”. I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that…
Since the creature depicted is the extremely unfaithful to the book Boris Karloff version, sure, he can be named Frankenstein. The book version would not be, though.
The barista would have written down Liechtenstein.
isn’t it frunkenshtine
if you’re a reader of the story, you know that the monster considered the doctor to be his father. so calling the monster Frankenstein is just accepting that perspective… not accepting it could be detrimental to you and your family and friends health… don’t piss off the monster is pretty much what I am saying
His name is Adam Frankenstein
His name was Robert Paulson.
Shelley kinda designed them to be doppelgänger, so you could also argue that they are the same.
His name is Frankenstein Smonster
Lol, I was about to react with an “ackshuly” that is the precise point of this cartoon. Well played.
Woah, Frankenstein reboot idea, the Doctor was the puppet master of the monster so they were actually one in the same. The monster mimics all the Docs moves because replacing a brain is hard so he just used tech.
One and the same
the real monster is always in the comments
Does this mean that the monster and his creator had access to a TARDIS?
Not quite the same idea but try reading “jekyll and hyde”
Never heard of it. /s
Awkward.
Transcription
A cartoon of a woman standing next to a coffee machine, holding out a takeaway coffee container. She smiles as she asks “Frankenstein?”
The same woman, now with no visible mouth, in a wider shot, showing two figures raising their hands and looking at each other: a man in a lab coat, glasses, and with grey frizzly hair, and a depiction of “Frankenstein’s monster” as soon in popular culture.
Is this AI generated?
Probably not. I think most of these are human volunteers
Volunteer singular, maybe. It’s the same person on every post I’ve seen today.
To me it just doesn’t seem to satisfy the purpose of alt text. It reads a lot more like an LLM being asked to visually describe what it sees. It’s too verbose.
Sure, and yes, it’s literally doing what alt text would do, for the same purpose (i.e. describe the image for the visually impaired). The “style” of these that I’ve seen (not just here) is pretty verbose, so I don’t think that’s necessarily an indication of llm use. Obviously I can’t prove it either way, but I’d rather give these the benefit of the doubt, since this is useful work if it helps people follow along.
The visually impaired don’t really get anything from descriptions like “in a wider shot” though, nor is “now with no visible mouth” a relevant detail because the style of the comic does not depict any character with a mouth unless they are speaking. That’s LLM logic.
Yeah, that’s fair. The mouth description probably seals it for me. I think it’d be more useful to describe the overall “nonplussed” expression than the literal description.
