I just gave you advice.
Get a cross and nail yourself to it.
Then you can't do any mowing.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Flora!
The one name.
Out of so many plant-based names.
You chose Flora.
Sharing the name of my single most despised character in all of fiction. Even though I have nothing against the acting standards of the time for female roles, or Gloria Stewart.
Flora.
FLORA! The "Fiancee" of Griffin. In the 1933 movie of The Invisible Man
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postThe name haunts me.
It is my single definitive example of why I don't like when Adaptations introduce love interests where none existed before.
It is only outshone by one that I have only heard of- because thankfully I haven't watched The Time Machine 's adaptations.
Where apparently the Father/daughter platonic relationship of the book was turned into "Hey it's a romance now"
They gave Griffin a Fiancee, yes.

Griffin went from albino sociopath with anger problems to tragic scientist who just did it for the science, and to make himself look like he's worth it to his fiancee (Who loves him regardless and her sole character trait is "I'm WORRIED about Griffin!")

Also in regards to the Invisible Man- it gets worse.
Flora is actually in a love triangle with Kemp and Griffin.
Kemp is in love with Flora but Flora has eyes for Griffin.
And this was all because the director wanted to copy one part of the success of his earlier film- Frankenstein. Which also had a similar triangle.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postTo be fair- in their own right they're good films.
And The Invisible Man was a successful film.

But I don't record that in my archives and reports. It's simply depression. Or maybe it is something even worse. They say it's called somnolence and it can even lead to somnambulism. But this too shall pass."
