Biography Flash: Frankenstein's Monster Reborn in 2025 Pop Culture

Frankenstein's Monster Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

This is Frankenstein’s Monster Biography Flash, I’m Marcus Ellery, and yes, we’re doing a breaking news update on a guy who’s 207 years old and technically never existed. Honestly, more consistent career than half of Congress.

So, significant “developments” for our big green-ish introvert this week:

The biggest real world headline is Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein still riding the cultural wave. Netflix and film press are all over Jacob Elordi’s turn as the Creature, calling him the heart and soul of the film, with Bloody Disgusting naming this version of the Creature one of the standout monsters of 2025. Collider went further and argued that the movie only truly comes alive once the Creature fully emerges, which, if you’re keeping score at home, is a nice late-career win for a guy who started life as spare parts.

In awards chatter and year-end lists, outlets like The Voice of San Francisco and other critics are treating this Creature as the definitive modern screen incarnation. That is a big biographical moment for a fictional character: we are watching the cultural image of Frankenstein’s Monster shift from Boris Karloff’s flat head to Elordi’s more human, mournful patchwork model. Long-term, that is how future kids will picture him when the name comes up in class.

On the think-piece front, Drezner’s World and others keep dragging the Monster into AI debates, using him as the go-to metaphor for tech bros building things they don’t understand, then acting shocked when it all goes sideways. Over in pop culture wrap-ups, places like The Wire and Vogue-style essays are still using Frankenstein’s Monster as shorthand for the outsider, the misfit, the thing society creates and then fears. No fresh pitchfork mob, but the brand is strong.

Social media remains a chaos lab. TikTok and X are full of clips from the new film, “POV you are Frankenstein’s Monster trying to touch grass for the first time,” and those “who’s the real monster” memes are back, usually slapped on some CEO or politician who absolutely earned it.

Hypothetical but plausible note: studios are reportedly circling spin offs like a Bride of Frankenstein project, which would lock this new version of the Creature in as the canonical partner guy. That would be a major relationship milestone for someone whose last stable connection was with a blind guy in a hut.

Alright, that’s your flash biography update on the most famous unemployed corpse in literature. Thanks for listening, and subscribe so you never miss an update on Frankenstein’s Monster. And if you want more quick-hit dives like this, search the term Biography Flash for more great biographies.
