He also shows the most empathy/character of them all sans maybe Eliza (it’s been a few months but aren’t Eliza’s friends reluctant to help initially?)

“People probably react poorly to the white man being the villain” is a strange stance to take. I guess because he’s a fill-in for American authority in general?

He's an empathetic character for sure. Both US and Russian authority is shown as bad I'd say.

Del Toro always celebrates the outsider. I got to hear him speak about it and he straight up said "this is a love story where the creature from the black lagoon gets the girl in the end." I can definitely see where you'd wonder about the fisherman's consent but I don't think that was the intent at all.

It was a good talk. They made it on a shoestring budget by repurposing sets from The Strain. The underwater scenes at the beginning were done with a filter and actually hanging things on threads. Giles and Zelda's apartments are the same set shot from different angles.
