Someone both bulkier and younger was always more logical.
Thing is, I think he could have been great as The Monster of the Novel. The intellectual Monster who quotes Paradise Lost and waxes philosophical. Which we've still never seen justice done to.
I feel the same about Christopher Lee actually, in fact that's part of why I included him in this casting thread of mine.

I agree that Lugosi never had the right look for the monster, but not because he needed to be bulkier. Karloff was rail thin and it gave his monster a nice gaunt appearance. The "bulk" was lots of padding. Lugosi's face was too "jowly" (some might say the same about Chaney).
I've always wished Glenn Strange had started playing the monster in FMTWM.
