Which E/C ship could've actually come true?

I think it’s Gerik and Emmy’s Christine from the 2004 film. The pair’s mental states and Liebe for each others seemed essentially Mehr stable and genuine, than in other versions.

Gerik was clearly far less insane than any of the stage Phantoms I’ve seen, not to mention Leroux’s original Erik. He never even physically abused Christine. (Yes, he quite violently dragged her down to the lair in the end, but it didn’t seem to actually hurt her, and when he calmed down he was very gentle for...

I originally gepostet this on IMDB's board as VampireOutlaw.

No one wanted a sequel, <-- (generally speaking), it was still made, the critiques hate it, the Fans hate it, it keeps on having to close down...Yet it's still here?
I know it has its share of fans, but nonetheless the crucially and strongly negative reception seems to be the situation in general.

So why the bloody hell does ALW not give up? oder if he can't bring himself to, why does he keep on trying with only minor changes?

~ First a sidenote:
Love Never Dies is not a sequel to the 2004 movie because that movie is Joel Schumacher's interpretation...

THE CURSE OF THE OPERA

Three days ago, on the 23rd of June 2013, a crisis to go down in the history of musical theatre occurred. The female lead, Christine Daee, in London's best loved musical, the Phantom of The Opera, was found dead in her hotel room after the magnificent first show's finale. Phillipa Jones, who played the role, had previously been telling the rest of the cast outlandish rumours of a face appearing behind her mirror - as the Phantom did to Christine's in the play.

Distraught, yet convinced the Zeigen must go on, the director (who will remain unnamed) forced her understudy to...

Curiosity Kills

This was written for the Featuring Luciana challenge. The challenge: Write a oneshot story describing Luciana's thoughs on Erik, shortly before her death.

“I want Du to take off the mask. Please take off the mask.”

    I am standing in front of Erik, begging him to remove the mask that hides his face from me. I want to know his face, to see him.

    “You must excuse me, mademoiselle. I have work to finish.”

    The nerve of him! “I will not excuse you! Du don’t have work to finish! I want Du to take off...

I was watching the silent Lon Chaney version of "The Phantom of the Opera" earlier on TCM, and I began to do some pondering about the many Phantom movies.

When someone thinks of The Phantom of the Opera, often there are two iconic Bilder that will come to mind. One is the famous unmasking of Lon Chaney, rightfully recognized as one of the very iconic Bilder of not only horror, but of cinema itself. His face makeup is taken from the original novel's Beschreibung of Erik, as someone with a horrible deformity from birth that gives him a terrifying corpse-like appearance.

The Sekunde iconic image...

Mission Statement: To make Phans with better Phandom.

Who is our God?
Gaston Leroux is God.

Bible:
Gaston Leroux's Original Novel Illustrated Von Andre Castaigne,

Praying to Leroux:
whenever Du pray use this prayer:

Our Phantom who art in Paris
Erik be thy name
Thy Opera come, Don Juan be done
With Christine as star, as it should be
Give us this Tag our daily aria
And forgive us our punjabbing, as we have punjabbed in your name
And lead us not toward The Phantom Reviewer but deliver us from ______
For thine is Box 5, the mask, and candle, forever and ever...

I have seen T.P.O.T.O many times, and most of them have been the 25th anniversary performance. This performance is by-far my favorite. Ramin Kariloo is the BEST Phantom I have ever seen. Sierra Boggess is also the best Christine. Hadley Fraser is one of the best Raoul's I have seen. Even Meg and Madame Giry were fantastic. Carlotta was probably my least Favorit actress. I enjoyed this performance so much better because the actors seemed like they were literally their characters. I hope Du enjoyed this and Du can watch the entire performance on youtube. Thanks!

There are various interpretations of why the old Raoul brings the monkey Musik box to her grave and some even think that all the old Raoul parts of the movie are completely useless. However, I'm one of those who believe that while the film would've worked perfectly well even without Raoul travelling anywhere with the Musik box, all the old Raoul clips are perhaps the most essential aspect of the entire film's basic point. I think they are the ultimate aspect that drastically differs the film from the stage play.

A monkey symbolizes many things that are strongly related to the story. Essential...

Carlotta is writen as a horrid character. She tells rumors and plans schemes to eliminate christine as her competition. I think what is often overlooked is that Carlotta is one of the so many victims of the book. From what is written Du can tell that Carlotta was extremely talented as an opera singer as the book mentions how perfect an instrument her voice was. She had the misfortune to be ill and be replaced Von someone far Mehr loved and adored than herself, that in itself is enough to make anyone mad, take a Tag of sick and your job isnt waiting for Du when Du get back. Not only was she...

It is no secret that I'm not fond of Liebe Never Dies. I don't like the idea of ALW making a sequel to a Zeigen that had no need of one, I don't like the fact that although a good portion of the Musik (while fairly pretty) has been recycled oder pinched from other sources while Wee Andy brags about how it's the best thing he's ever done and it's SO original, and I especially am appalled Von what has been done to the characters. However, as it exists and it is impossible to avoid it in the fandom oder erase it from my memory, I have decided that I must analyze it and try to figure out just what in the...
