Victor Frankenstein

"Victor Frankenstein" (2016) is a steampunk retelling of Mary Shelley's novel focusing on Victor (James McAvoy) and Igor (Daniel Radcliffe) as a mad scientist duo creating life. No progressive political messaging, social justice themes, or identity politics. Casting is predominantly white British actors with minimal diversity emphasis. Subplots like Lorelei's romance add emotional stakes but prioritize adventure and horror over inclusion agendas. Storytelling drives the narrative without woke interruptions.
