True story: one time in high school I wanted to read the Invisible Man so I checked it out of the library but I accidentally checked out the OTHER Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. And because I'm a dumbass, I was like halfway through this book about race relations before I was like "...You know I don't think this guy is going to turn invisible at all!"
Cal Lmao 😂. Did you find the hg wells book.
That is weird what happened to us in grade school I don’t remember what grade I was when this happened heck I could’ve been a middle school but The librarian thought it was a great idea to read to us this book I remember some of us freaking out at the gruesome ending then again I read Jekyll and Hyde that same year 😩
I almost snorted my drink at this. Perfect.
That almost happened to me. Last year, my English teacher told our class to choose a book from the American Lit. section to read and do a project on. Seeing Invisible Man, I immediately got excited, until my teacher explained the plot a bit and my excitement was immediately crushed.
@@vicenzostella1390 I suppose that's why people seem to not like reading in school, given you never get to read what you want in school.
“Not as sexy as Dracula” is coward talk, unhinged science is always sexy
SCIENCE!

Yes, but nobody wants to sleep with the Invisible Man. Probably.
@@Rognik He might be perfect for a dark room enthusiast?
Unless that unhinged science is the product of an abusing manipulative murderous psychopath who loves to torture their ex girlfriend.
The new invisible man movie is great.
Oh yeah definitely that guy sucks. But the movie was great!
Seeing the screenshots on Twitter don't really do justice to how cool a simple green screen suit effect looks in motion. It's so neat
Yeah. And the guy in front of the green screen ain't too rough on the eyes either!
And sin, young man, is when you treat people like things.”
― Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum
Last time I was this early Dom was still opaque.
Even three years later this comment still rings Hollow Man.
Ironically the "Griffin was always a bad guy even before the invisibility" is what the new Elisabeth Moss version goes with, to great effect.
Hollow man also took this approach with its invisible man. Funny that the most popular adaptation of the invisible man has the least accurate portrayal of the character.
Seeing a 30 year old talk about books while dressing up is strangely adorable...
Yeah, hes dope.
It's magical, isn't it? 😁

Embla Nott Bjornsdottir, please forgive me for not being able to find the characters in my phone to say your name properly. I know that there's a selection of characters with the proper accent marks above them SOMEWHERE in this device, but I couldn't find them when I was actually looking for them, unfortunately.
...... anyways.....
It IS strangely yet TOTALLY adorable, isn't it!?
Ashton Rogers if you wrote it on a computer then it would’ve had to have special letters included on the keyboard but if it was on a smaller device then you have to hold the character such as A for a couple of seconds to Á,À,Â,Ä,Æ,Ã,Å,Ā

Terrence has a point: an invisibility cloak simplifies invisibility immensely. When your retinas are invisible, you're basically blind because light isn't bouncing around in your eyes to feed the signals into your brain to form sight. And there's the possibility that your internal organs and muscle are vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation because your skin isn't there to block it.
Yeah, but all of those things apply to an invisibility cloak, too.
@@RabblesTheBinx Actually no, they dont. An invisibility cloak is just that, a cloak that makes you appear invisible. It uses magic so it works on an entirely different level than this
@@PrincessAshley972 magic or no, it's invisible either because it causes all light to pass through it, or because it bends light around itself so that no light ever hits it. Either way, you're blind, at the very least.
@@RabblesTheBinx That much i can agree with
@@RabblesTheBinx No, there's a difference. The whole blind thing and compromised ultraviolet protection is what scientists believe will happen if EVERY BIOLOGICAL component of your body were rendered completely invisible. An invisibility cloak bypasses the side effects by making you appear invisible when you wear it but also allows your biological functions to remain intact and unaltered, like wearing a piece of camouflage equipment.
I do so wish we could have a modern retelling of the Universal Monsters. But alas, they misunderstood what made the Monsters so great
The tragedy and terror?
this is hotel transilvania erasure
I hear the latest iteration of Invisible Man is good, also: rumor has it that James Wan is in line to make a Frankenstein flick
The new Invisible Man is good.
I think the problem is what Dom said at the top. These old horror stories are just too tropey. In most cases, it's better to tell a new story riffing on the same themes. Like, why directly remake Frankenstein when you can make something like Ex Machina which covers the same story ground and philosophical concepts, but updated and expanded to better fit into the modern world? That approach will have a lot more power and audience appeal, rather than repeating a story that everyone has heard a million times.
Dracula, Frankenstein, et al, aren't figures of terror any more. They're just mascots.
In that case, I can't wait till we eventually get to the Island of Dr. Moreau where Welles goes absolutely bonkers even by his standards....yet one of those books that seems like it's made for Hollywood but for whatever reason never done right....even if Charles Laughton was the best Moreau.
Van Helsing is the only Victorian doctor I would trust.
Most of the others are.....mad.
@@absolite6 I were about to disagree, but I can't.
The Island of Doctor Moreau is a phenomenal book, great characters all around

I see you've changed your opinion on Mary Shelley. ;) I wonder how that happened? Your intro is fantastic, it looks amazing and matches the visual of The Invisible Man perfectly. I agree with your reasons on the lack of adaptations - the character himself doesn't have much charm. When it comes down to it, he's just an asshole and not as sympathetic as monsters like the Phantom or the Frankenstein Monster. Still, a classic. Nice job, Dom. :)
Oh yes, realised my mistake without anyone yelling at me for forgetting to mention her last time 😅
Love your vids roses
@@Dominic-Noble Have you considered doing a Lost in Adaptation episode for the book I Am Legend and it's three movie adaptations? (Last Man On Earth, The Omega Man and I Am Legend)
@@0816M3RC I'm pretty sure he only does Patreon sponsored reviews these days 'cause his backlog is so long. So, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to get to it anytime soon unless someone requested it
I think in order to have an interesting anti-villain protagonist, you are gonna either need to make them extremely sympathetic (Frankenstein or Bojack) or extremely unlikeable but thoroughly enjoyable to hate because we wanna see their downfall or they have some kind of cool charm in spite of their dastardly ways (Humbert Humbert or Dracula). Anything just a bit too vague or not extreme enough on either pole, then you got what seems like a shallow character. "Hollow Man" was a good film and basically was the modern day Sci-Fi thriller serial killer version of the same story. But I remember enjoying that movie actually because the murderer is genuinely a bad unhinged guy and you enjoy watching his villain rampage of carnage /seeing people chase after him. You also kinda feel bad for him too though as he never asked to be put into this position of having madness. So it works better there.
"Now I'm covered in floof." That's a regular occurrence around my place
I feel the Dom has invented a new fan service - the “kitty service”. Rather than surprising and somewhat unnecessary nudity, he instead satiates thirsty fans with adorable kitties. I know I’m not complaining.
The Invisible Man is by far my favorite of the Universal monster movies. It's just so genuinely funny, I love whenever he appears as just a floating shirt or a pair of pants, and the acting from the side characters is delightfully over-the-top a lot of the time. Also the Unhinged Mad Scientist is a character trope that will never be uninteresting.
I've always loved the amount of acting some one can convey from being invisible as a trope. Gloves, glasses, and a shirt floating in the air can make such an interesting way to create personality
"Even the moon is frightened of me! The whole world is frightened of the Invisible Man!"
Am I the only one who feels their day doesn't really begin until the hear a "My goodness, The Dom...!" excuse and see some quality floof content?
same XD
I particularly liked the little comedy bits, like when Terrence zoidburged off screen. 😂😂
Amber S I thought he was doing a Curly impression.
I love the Stooges reference & having Terrence show up like a HP character 😅
I can't tell if he's just doing an Invisible Man thing, or if he's over-prepared for Coronavirus.
Both

Is it bad that I knew exactly which expression you were talking about when you mentioned "that shit-eating grin when I do when I think I've been very funny"?
"...and I will see you soon."
Yes, but will we see you?
Came looking for this comment!
I really liked this book when I read it in high school. I always thought that the invisibility was pretty symbolic of social isolation. It's why being invisible sucks.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a great episode about this very thing. Everyone at the school ignored the girl, so she legit turned invisible. It's either from the second or third season (second, I think) and it's called 'Out of Mind, Out of Sight'. Worth a watch if you haven't already!
@@erinhaury5773 A UK, channel 4 show called Misfits does this as well! The character Simon (but through superpowers) is ignored so much/is a very introverted person so his powers reflect that part of his personality and he eventually gains control of turning it on and off. Great show.
@@erinhaury5773 Season 1, Episode 11. I love that episode.
I know that was a plot in Gortimer Gibbons one time
Upvoted for the "floof" song in the bloopers.
Yes! Although I already upvoted anyway. The part in the original book where the Invisible Man HURT. A _KITTY_ was when I KNEW I hated him. He was already an asshole; now I was fully on the side of the frightened villagers and he couldn't die fast enough.
Do not hurt floof. Do not make floof invisible. Leave floof alone!
You did amazing with the effects!
Also, I love the invisible puns. Give us more please~
One of the things I remember about reading the book (that I don't think made it into any film version): when he eats, his food remains visible until it's digested. Another thing that made being invisible a real pain.
I would call H.G wells as the Tolkien of the sci fi genre not the first but different a strong influence and a better known household name
I feel Jules Verne isn't being given enough credit here. His influence on sci-fi is at least as great as Wells and Shelley, if not greater.

@@dragonheart1236 2000 leagues under the sea which foreshadowing the invention of a submarine. Land of the lost world and Journey to the center of the earth which popularise dinosaurs before Jurassic Park.

Already loving Dom’s wardrobe dedication.
Man. Between this and King Kong, 1933 was truly a year of revolutionary special effects. Seriously, these effects would probably impressive today, let alone 90 years ago.
Somehow, the premise of "invisibility making someone's nastier side ironically more visible" is... eerily on point these days. We're ALL the invisible man on the internet. And some people are... indeed murderous.
I remember being quite impressed with the BBC version from the 80's. There was a scene in which Griffin was shown gradually turning invisible, first becoming "even more" albino (his skin and hair turning chalk white and eyes blood red) then his musculature was revealed, then his organs, his skeleton and his eyes being the last to vanish.
Wait, BBC made an Invisible Man adaptation in the 80’s?! Where can I watch this?
( I am unhealthily obsessed with The Invisible Man )
I really recommend the book, it's so small that you can easily finish it unlike Frankenstein and especially Dracula. And it gets straightforward to the plot.
Frankenstein is less than 200 pages? It’s a crazy short book.
I remember I tried to read Bram Stoker's Dracula when I was in Middle School, because I really liked Dracula from the movies...boy was I in over my head!
Dracula was easier to read for me, I didn’t enjoy Frankenstein nearly as much because it just seemed to drag on and on with its monologues and descriptions.
Is that Green Face?
Joke side, nice use of effects, acknowledgement of the smile, and mentioning of the Hays Code.
Another Person As a moon man I am offended!
Another Person it says you were here before the video was uploaded and that you edited the comment
Embla Nótt Björnsdóttir
Edited yes, I added the praise under the joke after finishing the video. I commented 17 minutes after the video came out.
My guess is a Morphsuit, rather than makeup.
As a Greenlander, I'm offended by this cultural appropriation.
"Floof floof floof, so much floof, you are made of floof!"
To quote a famous frog: "It's not easy being green."
“So much floof” *looks down at black pants* yes
Loved the Terrence cameo
(Dom lets out a hurricane of puns at the beginning)
Me: STOOOOOOOOP.
Not sure if you've read the original comics for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but the Invisible Man's (aka Skinner) recruitment story was that he was living in or sneaking into an all-girls catholic school and having his way with the students. He ended up getting several pregnant, which is what led the League to him as Mina, Napolean, and Quartermain go to investigate the place under the guise of the parents of a potential student and their manservant scouting the place out.
I don't know what to write but I want the algorithm to know that this video is worth watching.
since i see no one else talking about this in the comments:
yes, your friendly neighborhood historian can testify that john wilkes booth died because the soldiers that hunted him down for twelve days (the biggest manhunt at that point with over 1,000 soldiers) surrounded him and lit the barn that he was sleeping in on fire. he died either through he shorting himself or the soldiers shooting him (because no one cared to give to identity the bullet that shoot him) since i am unfamiliar with the book, i cannot say what the author was trying to get across: maybe some one who believed he was doing good did something heinous and got shot for it?
regardless, great video dom ❣️
The greenscreen suit/invisibility effect here is so cool.
“The Invisible Man” is my absolute favourite Universal Monsters film. It’s so underrated and Claude Rains is so freaking awesome, I’ve watched so much of his stuff since I saw “Invisible Man”. Also- ‘Not as sexy as Dracula’? Bro, have you SEEN Claude Rains at the end???
Just hearing you say "floof" makes my day 100% better! :D
If the words "Invisible Dom" didn't spark its own fanfic I quite frankly don't know what would.
These really old special effects look really convincing. Now I want to watch it.
7:33-7:50 “In other words, he was 8chan in a nutshell.”
And anonymity powers was the thing that pushed him into outright monster
Which brings up an interesting question: On a scale of 1 to Texan Pastor, how narcissistic/delusional was he to believe that Kemp would be down for the “Reign of Terror via random murder” idea?
@@thequietdreamer2186 If was an undiagnosed psychopath, it is entirely possible he wasn't aware of his illness and thought everybody thought like him. It is a common mental mistake in many assholes.
Carewolf Fair enough. Though I don’t think it’s the greatest analysis to say “he was the unfunny version of J.D. from Heathers.”
I assume thats not *exactly* how it went down, but I laughed so hard at the thought of The Dom painting himself all green like a kid dressing up as a frog for Halloween
I borrowed the book from an elementary school when I worked at an before/after school child care program. I got so many of the advanced readers to read it too, I loved it so much. If you haven't read it yet, you need to get it.
While normaly I do actualy *look* at these videos, for reasons today I was only listening after I hit play. It wasn't until my brain clicked, "Wait, that was a LOT of puns in a row" that I looked up and when I saw the cold open visual I gave out the loudest snort-laugh I've had in weeks. So thank you for that! (The kitten I scared so much he did a wake-jump-scramble-run under the bed thanks you less, but that made me laugh pretty hard, too, so a bonus thank you for that!)
There’s something really adorable about invisi-Dom’s floating glasses
I wonder why it seems film adaptions tend to remove subtlety from their book counter parts? Is it the nature of the medium, and the populations they most appeal to? The collective nature of film production vs the more solitary nature of books? Write an essay on this Dom! Maybe the New Yorker would publish it! 😄👍🏻
That sounds like a job for Sarah Z.
Riley ooooo I shall look into this Sarah Z-thank you!
I think the big thing is that films can't show you what's going on inside a character's head in the way a book can, also a film generally has much less time to tell its story than a book does (even an average-sized book can cover a lot more ground than a two-hour film possibly could). So depending on the story, a film can only really do the Cliff Notes version of the plot, and has to spell out a lot of the things that a book might convey in numerous hints.
On the other hand, I think it is true that historically Hollywood (and American culture in general) doesn't like portraying moral grey areas, and tends to go for a simplified narrative of (American) whiter-than-white heroes defeating (usually non-American) dastardly or insane villains.
imperium3 Very true about the internal dialog being difficult to adapt well. Perhaps subtlety was the wrong word, because even when the nuance of motivation or conflict isn’t explicit, you can still have grey characters in film. I wonder why Hollywood frequently chooses the two dimensional route-often as you correctly point out with an almost propaganda level of white patriotism(*cringes in American* sorry world...). Does that sell more tickets? Do the movie going audience prefer to not examine potential assumptions or biases-and so films with grey characters or plots limit audience appeal? Maybe is also limits the amount of type of press the film receives (I’m thinking of The Joker as a recent example). I’m currently leaning towards that line of thought, but I’m sure there is some food for a conspiracy theory too! 😅
That costume at the start 😂 had me in stitches
you're just lucky I have free healthcare or else I would have sent you the medical bill 😛😛
"You can't tell, but I'm doing that shit-eating grin I do when I think I've been very funny."
Oh, Dom, we could hear it.
It’s only a minute in, and I already know I’m going to have “I’m the Invisible Man” by Queen in my head all day.
Funny how it only takes such a small thing as a couple of words to get an ear worm stuck in your head.
🎶I’m the invisible man
I’m the invisible man
Incredible how you can
See right through me! 🎶
They call me cellophane, Mr. Cellophane,

'Cos you can look right through me, walk right by me,
And never knoooow I'm there...
(From "Chicago". Just got reminded of that by your Queen song. :))
The Invisible Man is my favorite of the OG Universal monsters. He has so much damn fun in his villainy that you can't help but want him to win just to watch more of him.
This video is making me flashback to my study abroad year when I had a five minute conversation becoming increasingly confused by the difference between how H is pronounced in the UK and US. “How do you sell that?” “It’s just H”
And the award for *"Best Thematically Appropriate Opening Gag in a RUclips Video"* goes to... DOMINIC NOBLE!
When I saw the notification, I really, really hoped you'd do some like that. Not disappointed in the slightest. 😁
I love it when your cats decide to video-bomb! "If you're gonna bother me, you have to appear on camera and please the audience." Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

@@kateworkman921 There were two legal cases at the time of the writing. The first was a little known Scottish case where a man that seemed to be a normal person, but was found out to be killing his neighbors for the fun. Stevenson sat in on the trail for a bit, before the man met the noose. The other legal case is far more infamous -> Jack the Ripper.
@@peterwindhorst5775
Good try, but Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde was published in 1885. The Ripper killings began in autumn of 1888.
@@kateworkman921 There was a serialization as well (each chapter coming out only once every other month - he had a fight with the publisher over that, it was not pretty, nearly led to a lawsuit) which took it right up to early Autumn 1888 (the first murders). Then there was a stage play - which had to be shut down, the actors were briefly accused of being the Ripper.
The effects for the invisble dom is sooooo good.
Good job, man.
*Morphsuit:* "Why are so many people suddenly buying our green zentai?!"
The homeless assistant subplot comes into play in the sequel The Invisible Man Returns, which is an original story but I prefer the film
That was again a very interesting review. Thank you so much, Dominic, and may the algorithm be as satisfied as I am.
And the Dark Universe version was pretty good too. The concept of your stalker capable of gaslighting you via seamless tech is incredibly terrifying and in execution, it is absolutely twisted.
I got legitimately sad when I thought there wouldn’t be a Lost in Adaptations video this week. Seeing this video made my week. Thanks Dominic.
As silly as this movie seems to a modern audience, you’ve gotta give Claude Rains tons of credit for having to act through his voice once the clothes are shed & we never see his face till the end. I like that Griffin was made slightly more human in the film to give some depth instead of him being completely insane like the book; no offense to Welles as I loved the book
In the book, I love how freaked out everyone is by the Invisible Man when murder isn't even on the table. The Invisible Man wants to hurt people but doesn't want to kill them.
In modern storytelling, it's like the only stakes allowed to scare characters anymore are threats of murder/death, even in film adaptions of YA stories.
You get my like just for all those terribly wonderful invisibily puns in the beginning.
That scene from the 1933 movie really amazed me, like "huh, 1933?
"You can't tell, but I'm doing that shit-eating grin I do when I think I'm being funny." Oh, I could tell. Apparently it can be heard as well as seen.
You are sounding much better. Im glad your voice is healing.
Excellent review! When I saw this movie as a kid I had no idea of how difficult those special effects were back then. Truly impressive. 👍🏼
I was so waiting for you to just start playing or belt out Queen's _Invisible man_ , because, you know, invisible. I love that song it's great!
Your videos are always excellent, but the appearance of Sir Terry in your bloopers is really just the cherry on top 😸
Best use of a green screen I've seen on RUclips.
Glad to see a proper LiA again! I love this book and movie, and I'm grateful you covered it! Thanks to the patron who commissioned it!
If you haven’t seen the Elisabeth Moss version yet DO IT. I thought it was fantastic and a textbook example of how to do a modern update correctly.
I agree the Elizabeth Moss version is absolutely, harrowingly brilliant! However: Massive f*#king trigger warning for domestic violence, gaslighting and other forms of emotional abuse as well as nobody f*#king believing the victim (being disbelieved as atrauma victim is traumatizing in itself).
If you're gonna watch it, brace yourselves! This is not a drill. If you prefer not to watch it, that is totally valid. Take care.
Saw it a couple of days ago, I loved it.
@@Galvion1980 THIS. I kinds knew there would be that present, since I saw the Kevin Bacon version, but they really ramped up the gaslighting and terror to the point where it was REALLY hard for me to get through. I've been abused in the past, and, yeeeaaahhh...this was extremely uncomfortable to watch. Especially the whole thing with no one believing her. That struck home way too hard.
@@WobblesandBean Let's hope it helps people who haven't experienced or witnessed abuse better understand how devastating it is...Hope you are doing alright.
This movie is a great answer to "well why didn't she just leave?"
Also I would say Verne was a very important person for the developement of science fiction
Came from the 2020 bloopers and I love the green screen effect, don’t know why I ever missed this one
I love you work. I got really excited when I see your post. And this is one of my favorite books. I love this.
If you like the special effects they used for this film, I think you would like some of the slight of hand some of the stage versions pull off. I saw a production once where when Griffin gets pissed at the hotel and takes his bandages off, they did something with the stage lighting so he was kinda standing in shadow and i can only assume the actor was wearing black underneath cuz it literally looked like there was nothing there. I was sitting like 30 feet away, it was really impressive.
Great video Dom. This is one of my favorites, it helped turn me into the horror fanatic I am today. Back in the mid 90s when every other four-year-old was watching Barney my mother instead had me watching Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, and The Wolfman.
That's an awesome mom!
@@erinhaury5773 Yes she is. She had me watching monster movies when I was four then my brother had me listening to Ozzy and the rest is history.
With Corona going about, that feels like a good moment for finally trying those audible offers.
And I'd recommend stuff like H.G. Wells for it, too--the more oldschool science fiction just seems to _work_ as a radio play.
...not to mention the ACTUAL War of the Worlds radio play by Orson Welles...I think you can find that one for free online, last I knew. I played it on Halloween once. :)
The Terrence throwback was a nice touch. This is great content and I love reviews of the classics.
I almost thought you were gonna do a full on striptease lol. Griffin instantly deciding to *TAKE OVER THE WORLD* was probably too ambitious a goal to start with, but at least the dude knew what he was about.
The Invisible Man is one of my favourite books and I love that there’s a Lost In Adaptation video now!
Funny thing, I got through the book for the first time only a month ago and last October, I saw the movie for the first time. Talk about good timing. Though, I listened to the HG Wells Science Fiction Collection. It was really good, with David Tennant reading War of the Worlds, Alexander Vlahos reading The First Men in the Moon (which is definitely one of the weirder Wells stories,) Hugh Bonneville reading The Time Machone, Jason Isaacs reading The Island of Dr. Moreau, and The Invisible Man read by Sophie Okonedo. I love when you cover an adaption that I'd seen or read recently.
I was kinda hoping that there would eventually be an episode about this, be it this film or the new one (though I don't think there's much to compare with the 2020 one), and this did not disappoint! It was actually this film that got me to check out the book (and love them both; they're now my favorites for personal reasons), so this made me love them both just a bit more. Well done, sir.
SO glad to see this upload, was just wishing you made this because I recently watched a recap of the movies and was like wtf have I totally misremembered the book?
Love the intro, keep up the good work
For the algorithm and for the sake of my very British heart. @Dominic Noble "Nice to see you. To see you nice!"
Power doesn’t corrupt, however it reveals. Great power can reveal the true nature of a man. May he be a saviour or may he be a monster.
I would argue that power has a tendency to grow and nurture the worst parts of the human nature and thereby does in fact corrupt.
Wow! It's both amazing to see all the tricks they did during the film even then and then how science via tech marches on and now our favorite reviewers can make such videos
Invisible man has gotta be my favorite book, and I absolutely love the ‘33 film. The concept of an invisible sociopath is one of the scariest ideas ever
Oh my god the amount of puns in your opening skit! Not a complaint: I LOVE PUNS!
My grandmother liked watching 2 things. Murder mysteries and old movies. This movie has the honor of being the last movie I watched with her about a year before her passing. Glad I watched it, but it holds bittersweet notes for me.
So nice. I actually always enjoyed the fact that he descended into madness in the film. It allowed for character progression and seeing moral decay is always a fascinating story telling concept.
Nice work on the invisible effect!!! So cool!!!
FLOOF! Also, loved all the puns.
