LND story doesn't enhance the experience of the first one, most of the time it contradicts it and in the end leaves あなた 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 あなた 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 チェリー popper is there, not counting the life size バービー version (guess she served her purpose) than あなた 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 愛 him (certainly would never have jumped into ベッド 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 ファン 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 あなた 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 または because I like the song "Beauty Underneath" who can say. But I don't find him that annoying または 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 によって 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 フォーラム 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.
