Yeah I saw memes on xtter about how Nosferatu and Babygirl are the same movie because they're about "a sigma fuckboy whisking away a woman from her weak beta male" and I'm like... is a guy who is after one (1) person that? Really? He has one obsession and contract. You're making a dumb comparison.

Same with the instagram memes that go "Virgin Orlok: had to threaten Ellen VS Chad Dracula: rizzed up Mina by telling her he crossed oceans of time". The movies have lied to you about him

Yep and it annoys me so much!.. I mean -

There are so many better and more accurate ways to make fun of Orlok. I mean, he's a massive simp, he lives with 5000 rats, he's literally rotting but he's got a 10-step moustache care routine, he had to learn to cook to feed Thomas, etc etc. There's no need to make shit up, he's a mess as it is

The Dracula shit is even more annoying tbh because the only reason Dracula is even interested in Mina in the 1992 film is BECAUSE OF ORLOK in the first place. It's a derivation of Murnau's 1922 Nosferatu, that is the first time a romantic fixation was introduced to a Dracula adaptation, and everyone that came after was just using that concept because it proved to be very compelling. Orlok is the literal origin of this romance trope

- but let's be honest, if Orlok looked like Bill Skarsgard, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.

#nosferatu #nosferatu 2024 #nosferatu (2024)#orlok #count orlok #dracula #count dracula #bill skarsgard #the only similar fixation that dracula had in the novel was with JONATHAN #mina was not even on his radar until he needed a spy and to spite van helsing #he didn't give a shit about her #which is kinda interesting bc the same people are doing the exact same but opposite thing w Thomas/Jonathan #in the sense that they're giving Thomas Jonathan's personality and pretending he's a perfect husband #and ignoring Jonathan entirely in favour of Dracula #which btw. that adaptation snubbed jonathan so bad. keanu made such a pretty jonathan he could've been Amazing in his feral era #that aside. again. it all just goes to show #they don't give a fuck about Romance or understanding or who sees Ellen or Mina as a person. just arbitrary 'hotness'#ellenorlok #ellen hutter #ellen x orlok #i've seen some people also saying bill skarsgard's character in hemlock grove was hotter than orlok #and i'm sorry if you think that you shouldn't call yourself a monsterfucker #that's. that's a regular dude. he looks like a normal guy.#nosferatu is for freaks #if you don't think that orlok is beautiful in his grotesquerie then stick to vampire diaries #thomas hutter #jonathan harker #mina harker
