Finally! I WORSHIP YOU, MY FRIEND! I finally have found another phan who has actually read the novel. You see, because of POTO I took up classical singing some years ago and now it's my main hobby and great passion. My hobby, classical music overall and POTO are all very sacred things to me and I've been taken down so many times by these idiotic 'phangirls' (only have seen the movie, don't probably even know a book exists): they gush about how they totally love opera now and "GERRY IS SOOO HOT PHANTOM AND ROSSUM IS THE BEST OPERA SINGER EVAH" but when I try to introduce them to Leroux!- or Chaney!Erik they turn them down because "they're too gross ewww"... And then tell me my idols, actual opera singers like Diana Damrau, sound like unbearable screaming.
Now, I don't dislike Butler personally. I simply think he wasn't that well suited for the role: At least the way I've interpreted both the novel and the musical, the entire point in Erik's character is that he's really hideous-looking, nearly monstrous person but, in sharp contrast, has got great talent in many forms of art (music, architecture, illusions..) and especially a great singing voice. After all, he was the one who taught Christine to be an opera star almost at Carlotta's level. So, the reason I didn't like the film is that it contradicts my view of Erik so much - Butler isn't a classically-trained singer. The lameness of his deformity can't really be blamed on him but the lazy make-up artists instead, though

Awesome! I love the book too. One of my favorite scenes that is never done in performances is Erik showing up at the Persian's house, "dying of love". All of that dialogue from Erik is so heart-wrenchingly wonderful. What's with the Persian always being passed over and blended with Madame Giry anyway?
But, like you, my love affair with POTO began with the 2004 version, where Gerard is sexiest movie phantom ever. I don't care if he's no Michael Crawford. I listened to that soundtrack every day since I saw the movie for the first time until its DVD release (5 months straight). When my mother gave me the deluxe soundtrack as a present, I actually began to hyperventilate/cry (no lie) which has never happened in the act of me receiving gifts before.
Which of the awful movie versions has the terrible tenor and Erik becoming deformed because he spilled acid on his face? I hated that one.

sorry i just found this today!
is Leroux Erik really that hot? if so WHY CHRISTINE DIDN'T YOU CHOOSE HIM! i mean i would have tough his deformity was something more than that he has no nose (sorry i haven't read the book i will be putting it on my Christmas list tough in fact i will do it right now! done it!) but seriously! i really want to see the musical in the West End but i haven't had the time to do it yet! i have only seen the film but i have seen many versions of Christine and Erik in clips from youtube and i can tell you my thoughts of Emmy and Gerry as them has turned right up side down i used to love them as Christine and Erik but now not so much! i despise Raoul! i am like you a huge Christine/Erik shipper i think that is why i like the concept for Love Never Dies (I LOVE THE MUSIC OK!) i do wish to read Kay's prequel book and i do wish to read "The Phantom of Manhattan" <- my love for Love Never Dies is to huge for me not to read the book it is partially based on!
A very funny true story you have there! i think i was 9 in 2004! yeah it really does sum up the whole story "HE WANT'S TO DO HER" i couldn't describe it better my self!

I honestly liked the Robert Englund version. And I thought Kay was very different to Leroux Erik... but eh, that's just my opinion.
I love the drawings in this meme, especially the one which says you like ExC. It's very cute. I love this, anyways... :3

Love this, and I appreciate your nod to Leroux. I have an incredible distaste for the 2004 version, but its nothing against any of the performers. Its two things, one: I don't like how they show all the Phantom's secrets and tricks and destroy the mystery. (Also, him hitting on a little girl is just wrong) Two: the no-nothing idiot phan-girls who faun over Gerry butler and rant about how "they'd stay with Erik" and they have no idea how awesome and perfect the original novel is. ahem yes, but I am pleased to know that you are not one of them....Well I've rambled quite a bit now, sorry for that.
The meme is funny and your art is good, brava!

This meme is a bit dated, so I *did* get to see the Charles Dance one. It was really cute! I can't get over how perfect Teri Polo is as Christine. She's my exact mental image from Leroux!

Charles Dance ? Having a Chicago accent ? (Then I'm French, so accents are above my knowledge) But he's English to the root !

There was an unmasking which was wonderful. The not letting Erik's face seen is a genius touch. No freak show, just what the imagination can supply and whatever the imagination can summon is worse that anything they can show (unless you're a phan and you're attracted to noseless people, of course XD )
