I don't get the hate either. It's honestly not that far off from the original musical. The book, yes, but the musical, no. Everyone harps on the characterization, but I can definitely see a scenario where these characters end up like this.

Yeah its a bad story and ruins every single character for the original. That's what a lot of people hated. And it wasn't needed. But the music is so amazing in spite of all of its flaws. I think if more people would view it as a "what if" instead of hard cannon they could appreciate it for what it is. People who take it too seriously are either die hard fans or haters. I think a middle ground is better.

I’ve been a die-hard Phantom fan for over three decades. I’ve read Leroux’s book. I owned the original production on cassette (yep, I’m that old). When Susan Kay’s Phantom came out, from that point on I was convinced “Erik”’s voice should be a baritone. I don’t know why. I love Ramin, but Ben’s voice has been my favorite since I heard it.

@Blair Bart 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the funniest thing is that you still didn't understand i was joking, by God! But ok, if you're too lazy to understand, i'll explain: Love Never Dies's garbage plot seems like a bad Phantom fanfiction. Actually, i already read A LOT of fanfics that were extremely better than LND. *Screw it* if Andrew said it's canon, i KNOW it's canon. It's a trash canon. The worst thing of Love Never Dies is how much they discharacterized Erik, Madame Giry and Meg, an absolute shame. The only good thing about this sequel-musical is... well, the songs. And the actors (Ben Lewis is handsome as Erik❤️), and the scenarios. The plot makes me sick, poor Gaston Leroux!
