I Just Want An Edwardian Era Iron Man-esque Movie With A Nerdy Loki Variant Is That Too Much To Ask For? - Blog Posts

I watch Crimson Peak for the plot

The plot:

Thomas' project reminds me so much of real life engineering. It's a brilliant invention with a shoestring budget. He also struggles to get (honest) funding for it, and therefore, his project's most likely understaffed, over schedule, and over budget.

And of course the machine experiences a huge component failure when he finally gets it running because stuff usually never works right the first time in engineering. Then the project has to be scrubbed in the end, namely because Lucille got stabby (but that's another story).
