Definitely the series. Even though Ross did s great job portraying young Dahmer. Evans was just much more dark and hunting. I can't forget. It was actually a bit too dark for me. I literally had nightmares. And i think considering the heinous crimes Dahmer committed that he (Evan) did a better job at portraying this dark and evil monster.. But again. It's not quite fair to compare, since Evan had more time. And also shoved the time were he killed most.

I like My Friend Dahmer because it seems more real and less exploitative. The movie was about Derf's complicated friendship with Dahmer. It is more down to earth and does not romanticize any aspects of his crimes, only showing his dissent into the mental state that would bring him there. It's also more scary because it doesn't portray Dahmer as an outright serial killer, but a weird classmate, which makes it even more terrifying when you look into the future and learn about the terrible crimes he committed. It's more scary because he could be any weird kid.

I am glad you said about the Neighbour as I thought that Jeff had a friendship with his neighbour. They used to sit to chat and have a sandwich together quite regularly. Until the smell coming from Jeff's apartment started to get questioned, which put a stop on their friendship. I have watched all documentary's and films on Dahmer. I knew Evan Peter's would nail this role. This is also the first portrayal I have seen which his father confessed to having the same urges. I always felt sympathy for Lionel Dahmer. Yet Jeff's mother never seems to carry any of the blame.

Those glasses are iconic

I’m a fan of both but I do think it’s unfair to compare the two as an actor. Evan Peters’ almost played the entire life of Dahmer, while Ross Lynch’s only played a certain point of Dahmer’s life and even from a colleague’s pov. If the movie/series itself, it’s still unfair to compare. But both actors are great for portraying Dahmer. 💯

The movie My friend Dahmer was based more on a book that was written by Jeffrey Dahmer's friend from highschool. So it's supposed to paint more of a picture from the perspective of Dahmer's friend and how he knew of him during highschool.

Give Evan peters his flowers 💐 cause that performance disturbed me, something out of a nightmare

They are both great in certain ways, my friend Dahmer is an origin story leading up to him picking up the hitch hiker. Dahmer, is a great culmination of everything tied together. They show the victims side in depth, especially episode 6, and they show Jeffrey’s disassociation to people grow and grow until one day he’s completely detached from actual reality. We got to watch Dahmer slowly break in the movie. The show was much more grisly and direct and really showed the viciousness inside of him. They both are great, I think the show was better overall. Evan peters made it feel like you were actually watching the real events take place, it was unsettling.

I haven’t seen the movie but in the Netflix series, the actor playing Jeffrey Dahmer was extremely genuine, eerily so. Also, I thought the actor who played Dhamer’s father in the Netflix series was also very genuine as were the victims, especially the actor who played the deaf guy episode 6. Great acting! The neighbour in the Netflix series came off as a little forced to me but I think it was more the script and how it was written. Now that I have learned that her role was largely enhanced as she didn’t actually live next door to Dahmer, it makes more sense as the acting and script came across more like someone playing a role in a movie than watching a genuine character.

evan made it to be the best. he shines so brightly! so much talent! outstanding as usual 👏 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Nice video. But editing mistake at 3:53 show and movie mixed up for a couple of slides.

Good video, but I noticed some weird errors such as at 3:54 where the movie side is actually the TV and vice versa.

My Friend Dahmer was more concerned with the soul searching of the comic’s author through the way the narrative was framed. The way they encouraged Dahmer’s behaviour as mean-spirited kids was haunting him, and he thought a lot about whether he made things worse and seemed to have residual guilt. The scene in the mall where he realises that it has gone too far and isn’t funny anymore was especially eerie and was his own adolescent realisation of remorse for what cannot be undone. It serves a totally different purpose as a slow-paced and subtle examination of the turning points in Dahmer’s coming of age. A highly-focused snapshot of foreboding.

Even the series is the most accurate in the real life events but the actor on the movie who is Ross Lynch was so amazing in the role he portrayed it perfectly and his actions is like a real life weird Evan Peters And Ross Lynch For me is both iconic and Great Actors

3:51 got the movie and the Netflix show mixed up, small mistake easy to make keep up the good work bro

You should do the Netflix series vs Dahmer (2002)

Ross is the best teen Dahmer but Evans is the best adult Dahmer. Both also look very similar. If one removed the "teen Dahmer" segments from the Evans series, it would be a perfect sequel to Ross' movie. Evans as Teen Dahmer is too jarring. Ross is far more believable as a cute, baby faced teen boy. Evans may look similar to Ross but he's more "rugged" and "grown" looking. . I'd love to see a fan made supercut using edited down versions of both... * It starts with the childhood scenes from the Evans series. * Then it becomes the Ross Lynch movie. * Then the rest is the Evans series starting from early adulthood / army / Florida / Grandma to the end. * Then we get the bit where Evan's Dahmer meets his maker via Christopher Scarver. ... it would be done in a way that makes it into a 2-3 hour movie. . If many scenes from from the Evans series are too murky and dark, they can be brightened and adjusted so it doesn't clash with the Ross film (depending on mood of course). SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE THIS FAN EDIT! PLEASE! IT WOULD BE AWESOME!

I found the movie to be far more enjoyable. The Netflix show focused too much on characters that I felt were ultimately unimportant.

both are very different points in dahmer's story

the two different depictions, will complement each other. the Netflix show is the one that brings you the horror and disturb you even when the show is over.

just talking about the series; everything was so cleverly portrayed and it amazes me how the child actor looked so similar to evan and so i'd have to pause at certain parts because i'd see the child speaking as evans and i'd be like wow. thats insane how he became like that

I didn’t know Austin from Austin and Ally had played Dahmer, wild.

They both did amazing in both movies

Agreed!

Glenda Cleveland was placed where she was because they used her as an amalgamation of several people, such as herself, Pamela Bass, and others, to display the gravity of how serious the complaints were that went ignored by the police department. The series focuses on the socioeconomic impact of Dahmer and who people actually were before they were forever memorialized as his “victim”. The movie doesn’t do any of that.

Glenda just did not work for me.

I personally liked the movie more I feel like Ross played a more accurate depiction of what dahmer was really like

Yeah, the show makes more unnecessarily scary and the movie makes him more human I guess. Like think about it in the photos of the actual Jeffery he mostly looks like any other guy and he always had a blank face on him just like the movie. Plus I remember there being girls who came there because they like him, so it made sense to have Ross lynch play him.

I just finish watch both version awhile ago. And your right My Friend Dahmer was more focus on how he deal being high school and his home life and Monster the Jeffrey Dahmer Story is more focus on everything. His victims, how he got started, what set him off, the victims' families and the aftermath.

I didn’t see the movie but the actor in the show was absolutely phenomenal and played him perfectly!

The movie is excellent, but it focuses on Dahmer's life leading up to the murders.

TV series and movies are mixed up at 3:50

I knew there was a time where Ross Lynch played Dahmer and when I turned on the Netflix show I was like "wait a second this isn't Ross Lynch." Turns out I had the wrong thing all along lol

Glenda in the series was all the neighbors mixed into 1. Named Glenda Cleveland because she had the most significant role in Dahmer’s life in real life.

Both give two different views of Dahmer.

Jeffery Dahmer played his own role the best.

Anyone notice the switch on movie and tv series scenes?😂 or just me 3:53

My friend "Dharma" the Dharma & Greg Docu-series 😂

I hope you are okay Evan after digging and portraying his character like no other.

Evan Peters killed this performance no pun intended.

Just started the Netflix series

BRUH IS THAT AUSTIN MOON 😳😳

in accuracy and similarities at 3:47 you switched the two.

I never finished the movie, but I binged every episode of the Netflix show in one day. I'd say that's a big difference. The movie tried to humanize him.

The movie adapted the story written by Dahmer's old friend. That's how his friends saw him. Believe it or not, even the most deranged humans are still human and have human qualities.

@@SpukiTheLoveKitten75 there is a difference between feeling shame and feeling guilt. I believe he felt a certain amount of shame about it, because he knew how others saw him. But guilt and remorse? No. Someone who does what he did doesn't have the capacity for remorse. Even he said himself, that he felt it a bit but not really enough.

They both look so similar

Evan was superb. I like how this was told from the victims and their Families perspectives. It was important to highlight how this horrific series of murders impacted their lives. Great casting and acting.
