I need to read Herbert West: Re-Animator bc I have a few assumptions I've made about the cast, especially Herbert, that I'd like to see either confirmed or denied, or ideally, still ambiguous enough that I can keep believing without impediment of or confirmation from the source material.

#i do not believe for a second that Herbert West was a successful student #he's not afraid to antagonize fellow academics including ones with power over him #and he didn't even flinch when he was told he would be failed #he's not a kissass and will actively make enemies with people who have power over him #he's provably brilliant and with the way the first film calls attention to the way acadamia partially functions on theft from talented #students it feels like part of the implication is that while West is def unstable and eccentric and a bad student he is an asset worth #stealing from #in fact his deviance makes it easier to discredit him #like #i just don't believe he was a 4.0 guy he does not give a fuck about the conventions of academia #sorry this is worded like shit im manic en leave me alone
