im in a really bad media diversity class where the professor was trying to make a point to us about stereotypes so he was like “when you think of frankenstein you probably think of a big green monster right?” and then when everyone in class was immediately like “no it’s the scientist” he pretended he didn’t hear us
Millennial culture is knowing Frankenstein is the scientist.
Woke Millennial Culture is, however, ALSO knowing Frankenstein was the monster.
I find it interesting that we’re shown different versions of younger Grunkle Stan.
We’ve got the stud who cut a rug with Carla “Hotpants” McCorkle in Boyz Crazy
This version seems to be how Stan likes to remember himself: very masculine (the span of his shoulders is three times the span of his waist!), very 70′s-attractive.
Then there’s the loser who’s weak and an utter embarrassment, the biggest wimp on the playground from Dreamscaperers
It’s hard to tell if this is Dipper’s visualization, Stan’s visualization, or literally playing back in Grunkle Stan’s head. Here, “nerd” and “wimp” are emphasized.
And finally, A Tale of Two Stans. As an episode-worth of flashback, this is likely the most canon appearance (though people do go through several looks as they grow up – everything might be true)
(Does Stanley even need glasses? Does he wear contacts?)
HIghschool Stan is like the fusion of Jukebox and Boxer. He has some of the zits, a realistic build, and projects both confidence and vulnerability. The memory of glasses was completely transferred to Stanford. He looks more like an individual than some archetype. (I also love how the Stans are obviously twins, yet have differences in body type, facial shape, hair, posture, and clothing. Plus fingers.)
