I get where you're coming from, but if you're retelling the origin story, it wraps a lot of things together so you can focus on what happens after that. Victor getting disfigured because he made a mistake, he can blame Richards for it, and so on. It might not be entirely true to the character, but it's much simpler to handle than "there's this guy I went to college with, he fucked up and wouldn't listen when I told him he fucked up, he got disfigured from that and went and learned magic to compliment his genius science".
