Let’s talk about how allergic movie makers are to a non-white, non-stereotype male lead taking screen time away from the all white leads and how that’s probably the reason we’ve never seen “The Persian” in a movie adaptation of Phantom after the original silent film.

One great scene in Phantom of the Opera is in the torture chamber when Raoul and the Daroga hear Erik menacing Christine and first it sounds like she’s crying

– but it’s not her, it’s Erik full-on sobbing while he’s threatening her, and if that doesn’t describe his character perfectly what will

dammit-daroga:

me, having a good night: nice
me, two seconds later: pretty fucked up how surprised erik is that christine turned the scorpion like he was so certain that she hated him so much that she was willing to die as well as be responsible for potentially hundreds of other deaths to be free of him. kinda fucked up how much he was hoping that she would turn the grasshopper so they could all die together. pretty fucked up that he was ready and willing to die and just put the power in her hands with the full expectation that she would kill him even if it meant killing herself. man it’s so fucked up that he pretty much baited her and willed her to turn the grasshopper like on a level of 1 to 10 how ready to die are you he was at 103 he was already dead guys it’s pretty fucked up how
