i think you need to ask how much of a story can you change before it stops being the same story
#i only found out last night that the play was modernized#mind you ive been wanting to watch it since fall lol#anyway i wasnt too mad about it. instead of the being he makes AI. okay cool#but then the characters weren't the same#eliza is just some random girl he meets at the bar and she kills herself at the first half of the story because he broke up with her#he has named the ai after her (it was her idea). i think this change was good. like leaving the being nameless worked in the same way as#naming the machine#having eliza kill herself so early on just to give him another random wife? what was the point in that?#and eliza's death at the end was a significant part of the story and especially because the being did it#also the machine is not a secret? when it starts gaining conscience he goes and tells his wife#and henry knows and a professor knows and the random but for some reason always there barkeep also knows#and the ai kills henry by messing with the car autopilot#and paralyzes mary (his wife) by messing with her car autopilot#and he connects her body with the ai and the ai takes over and they decide to keep working together#the ai is in love with frankenstein btw. which i guess was the equivalent of the being asking for a female of his kind#like it wasn't bad as a play. i just think if you're gonna change nearly everything just make your own#and say that it's based on the concept of this story#also we're in america now#anyway some great point about ai killing poetry were made at the beginning#but yeah#frankenstein & eliza#<- the play#jo says stuff
