Entertainment and Science Fiction (Tierra Quarles, Amber Thrall, Jeremiah Smith)

The legacy of Frankenstein as a science fiction theme has impacted some of the ways we are enteratined by science fiction today. Science has crossed certain boundaries because of the idea Frankenstein has set out to the science fiction world along with many films,experiments, etc. These things have been affected by this idea of monsters, creation of life, and experimentation. For example, the stories behind "The Terminator" and "The Incredible Hulk" are all acted upon science fiction. The creation of "The Hulk", being a green creature which comes from the the idea image people have of Frankenstein. Not only has Frankenstein had an impact on stories and movies, but it has also made science related objects such as "The Atomic Bomb" become well known. All of these ideas are an example of  "humanity threatening society". Mary Shelly made this outlook of science fiction (being scared of the world) a verification to her audience and Frankenstein will forever impact many of our future discoveries, creations, movies, etc.
