Agreed. Another great analogy would be that time that Travis Pastrana did the first double backflip on a motorcycle, at the X Games. Everyone knew he might be trying to do it, but they also knew he might literally break his neck and die, in front of thousands and thousands of people, including his mother, Tony Hawk, and Sandra Bullock (yes, she was in attendance, with Jesse James).
Here’s the key point, though: when he succeeded, his homies went ABSOLUTELY BANANAS. In particular, I remember one guy who was wearing an enormous, bright green foam novelty cowboy hat, who went charging up to hug him so fast that the giant green foam hat fell off his head. I’m not sure who he was, but he was so fucking happy that it made the whole thing even cooler.
Now, contrast this with the reactions of Frankenstein’s homies. Igor looked vaguely horrified and basically just cowered away, and the other two characters immediately started trying to calm Frankenstein down. Like, immediately pissing on his parade.
I mean, yeah, he was screaming about how he knows what it’s like to be God…but I think Pastrana’s crew would have let that one slide. They would have been like “FUCK YEAH! You’re better than God! I’ve never seen God do a double fucking backflip on a dirtbike!”
