??? how in the world does anyone come out of jekyll and hyde with this

#“good doctor attempts to rid humanity of evil and ACCIDENTALLY makes an entirely separate person who's evil and kills people!!!” #animated features HATE morally questionably protagonists crushed under their own hubris #jekyll wasn't even the protagonist actually. where's that boring guy I forgot the name of that jekyll gave all his money too ?? #I know that adaptions are not 1-1 with the source material and may make creative choices to better suit the medium #but this feels. kind of like it's drastically missing the point??? maybe even going against it almost?? #jekyll made hyde because he wanted to act on bad impulses without social punishment occuring #the whole point of the book was that the more you indulge in bad actions the worse it gets. cautionary tale style. #jekyll stops transforming into hyde for MONTHS and the moment he goes back he beats an old man to death #because jekyll repressed his general 'bad desires' so much over the next few months the moment 'hyde' was out again- #-he did something super bad. like super super bad. #and hyde was freaked out because people saw him do it and now hyde was unable to blend into crowds and do morally questionable acts #not because he felt bad about killing a senior citizen. #hyde is not some secret evil demon jekyll summoned. hyde is just jekyll if he was less accommodating of other people. #there isn't even a reason to believe the potion caused this mindset. for all we know this is a purely psychological phenomenon. #either way hyde is ALL jekyll. he is not some monster. he is jekyll if jekyll was not afraid of his status being affected by his actions #at the end he didn't talk about using the potion to transform INTO hyde #he wanted to use it to transform into JEKYLL. #“that's because he kept turning into hyde without the-” yeah that's the point!!!!! that's. literally the point. #saying stuff #I like jekyll and hyde. they're pretty cool. I just don't like the way people act like what happened wasn't mostly jekyll's fault #like ??? it's not like hyde ruined jekyll's life. jekyll is in control of his actions as hyde. this is their faults equally. #actually maybe I'm kind of a hyde apologist. ignore that a little bit (I am aware he's literally just jekyll but. I feel bad for him.) #the frakenstein's monster issue of. yeah frakenstein's monster (hyde) sucked but frakenstein (jekyll) was worse right #tired tumblr posts #do I have a nerd tag. #I don't think so actually #I think thoughts #I think. #yeah that works #I apologize for the very skewed tags to post ratio except I don't really feel that bad about it. twitter is an awful place.
