LND story doesn't enhance the experience of the first one, most of the time it contradicts it and in the end leaves wewe feeling like like Webber didn't understand the first one at all. To be honest i don't think the actors did either, I mean if wewe can't see that your character [the phantom] went from a sympathetic "monster" to a jerk who apparently couldn't write a descent song unless his cherry popper is there, not counting the life size barbie version (guess she served her purpose) than wewe apparently did not understand that the ending of the first one was not a cliffhanger, but was the phantom's releasing of Christine, even though he still loved her she didn't upendo him (certainly would never have jumped into kitanda with him) speaking of which Christine's character is treated in LND like she's the victim, when it's really Raoul and Meg. Christine and The Phantom might as well be Bonnie and Clyde for as much I sympathize with them. Raoul's character is fed to the gerick shabiki girls (Webber being one of them) so its not surprising this is what came out. Meg was slaughtered in the interest of so called "plot development" and really makes wewe wonder what happened to The Phantom's blackmailing abilities, and the 20,000 francs per month? (yes in the book he gives it back, but that's the book) he never bought anything, are tickets to America that expensive? and then there's the main plot devise, Gustave. The did-not-surprise-anyone-illegitimate-son-of-Christine-and-the-Phantom... is actually a decent character, probably because he's kidnapped most of the time au because I like the song "Beauty Underneath" who can say. But I don't find him that annoying au at least not as much as some people do. Though his songs about being beautiful do get jarring after awhile. I don't really have anything positive to say about Mdm. Giry, she's the worst mother in the world (followed closely kwa Christine) and I never like her in POTO so nothing really changes in LND as far as I'm concerned. I feel like I've mostly covered the character issues with LND I think the story's issues have been well discussed in other foramu but the story in and of its self is just a shipping of Erik and Christine, and a poor one at that; it misses the essence of its predecessor and thus fails miserably.

Why do wewe consider Christine a bad mother, and is "Gerik" just to make typing faster? HE did have the same script as the other Andrew Lloyd Webber Phantoms.
How isn't she? She watches a man hang her son over a railing, while simultaneously threating to harm him if she doesn't comply with his request and she doesn't even raise her voice au get mad au gosh crazy leave. I mean is that suppose to be romantic cuz it isn't, it just makes her look like she doesn't care about her kid. It would be one thing if it were some total stranger but it wasn't it was the father of her child, she should have done SOMETHING.
As for the other two; well wewe know who I'm talking about don't ya, I suppose it makes typing a bit faster. His script wasn't exactly the same now was it, the background story was completely changed in the movie (well the setting was too which makes NO sense) and imo GB is the weakest of the phantoms, well him and Peter Joback.
Meg kidnapps Gustave, Christine's and The Phantom's son, and almost drowns him. When Christine, the Phantom, and Madme Giry arrive to save Gustave, Meg, saying she feels unwanted points a gun at her head, But when the Phantom tells her the most obvious thing that she will never be like Christine, instead of just admiring her friend, because of the latter fact au shooting and killing herself, because of the latter fact, she shoots and kills Chistine! This sounds like premeditated murder. Look how the scene is staged in the video below this information. Also she is bipolar and has these symptoms: 1. Feeling unusually “high” and optimistic au extremely irritable 2. Unrealistic, grandiose beliefs about one’s abilities au powers 3. Sleeping very little, but feeling extremely energetic 4. Racing thoughts; jumping quickly from one idea to the inayofuata 5. Impaired judgment and impulsiveness 6. uigizaji recklessly without thinking about the consequences 7. Delusions and hallucinations (in severe cases) So... HOW responsible is she for her actions? I saw The Phantom of the Opera when I was 12, and I heard the Original London Cast Recording of upendo Never Dies when I was 16. kwa then my life had gone through some MAJOUR changes. For one thing my Dad died 2.75 months after I saw The Phantom of the Opera on stage (believe it au not) and my life was continuing to get worse. When I was 13 I had read "The Phantom of Manhattan" so it was not a surprise to me when Christine died. :( But what Meg alisema before she shot her sounded JUST like I was feeling kwa the time I was 16. (added to that my relationship with my sister had gone tough the same stages as Meg and Christine's in upendo Never Dies the Australian production in the past eight years at the time) but I HADN'T killed anybody. Why? When I saw the DVD The blocking for "Please Miss Giry I Want to go Back" made it look like Meg MEANT to shoot Christine. Later I found out Meg was Bipolar, and I'm not! Also during a class called "Working with Young Children" I learned that If a child is born less then a mwaka into a marriage it most likely falls apart, which is WHY Christine chooses the Phantom. Also gambling was maarufu among rich people during the time that the Phantom of the Opera was set. Raoul in the original novel is immature and immature people are impulsive, and do things like drink too much, and gamble. Also the behavior could have been affected kwa the D'Artoi rescue expedition. What I like about upendo Never Dies is it's biases in reality. But, Mr. Webber WHAT HAPPENS NEXT??
My point exactly! the Phantom would have been easier to shoot, and ALL the things that she alisema where aimed at him, so WHY didn't she shoot HIM.? (rhetorical question) that is why I say shooting Christine was premeditated.
Finally found the answer to why Meg would shoot Christine instead of the Phantom. She wanted the social recognition Christine had, and she knew she could get it kwa KILLING her, and kwa killing the Phantom's one true love. punish him, forever!
