This is the last time I talk about LND, at last I hope.
I’m gonna scream so, to all the lovers of LND, sorry. To all the persons who didn’t read the book of Phantom I’m gonna spoil at the end and Erik is The Phantom.
Every character is NOT respected ! Don’t you see it ? I mean, a drunk Raoul who is a bad father and who plays money games ? A Christine in love with Erik ? I mean, she is afraid of him ! In all the musical she is afraid, exept when she thinks that he is the angel of music. Just listen to “Why have you brouth us here” and dare to tell me she is able to have a child with Erik ! And no ! Fear can’t turn to love !
Raoul, do you think Raoul could really be such a bad father ? Did you saw him in Phantom ? How can this man can turn like this ? This is totally insane.
Let’s talk about Gustave ! Do you really think he is Erik’s son ? In the musical it is said that Erik’s deformity is from born things, but Gustave do not have a deformity. Ok, he is not forced to have one but Christne had this child just before her weeding, why can’t this child be Raoul’s son ?
Can we talk about the Giry’s ? Meg was the best friend of Christine ( in the musical ) and she’s the murderer of Christine ?? And Madame Giry is so bad with her dauther ! I mean what kind of mother can tell such a things to her dauther.
And actually LND can’t be a sequel because the musical of Phantom is based on the novel of Gaston Leroux as in this novel Erik dies at the end. Sorry for the spoil but it was obvious and the important is how does he dies and why, not that he dies.
So to me Erik and Christine just can’t be together and have a child ect... To me LND never existed ans his name should be “Love Should Dies”. This thing can’t be linked to Phantom...
It’s just my point of view, fell free to have you own.
Sorry for the long post and thanks to read it all !

I think Raoul will never let Gustave go with Erik.
I mean, ok he is not his real father ( even if it's not really clear and we just have to believe Christine ) but Gustave always saw Raoul as a father and I think Raoul would never give the child that he educated to a murderer/kidnapper.
So yeah after Christine's song he left his wife and son but he had a deal with Erik and I don't think that he wanted to take the risk to stay even if he lose. And I think Erik really forced Raoul !
And I think after Christine's death Raoul would be a much better father, like his wife is dead and the only thing he have is Gustave and Gustave only have Raoul.
Tell me if I am wrong ?

I truly believe that Raoul didn't deserve everything that happened in LND. I mean he is just so gentle with Christine, he is so much in love with her ! He would do anything for her, just to find that his son is the son of The Phantom of the Opera, the man who kills and kidnaps people.
So yeah he made a bad decision by make Christine sing in Don Juan but he couldn't think about Erik killing Piangi and takes his place. I think he just did a mistake, witch is really normal. By the way I think that Christine could trust Raoul in this plan.

I have a question !
In Love Never Dies, the eponime song says :
" Love never dies
Love never falters
Once it has spoken
Love is yours
Love never fades
Love never alters
Hearts may get broken
Love endures "
So WHY does she "fall in love" with Erik !? She was in love with Raoul ! And then when she said that love never dies she just goes with the Phantom ?! The man who just kidnaps her, kills a lot of people, try to kill Raoul and ( spoilers for those who have not read the book ! ) almost destroy the Opera and a district / quarter of Paris !
Why ? I need answers ;-;

So I watched Love Never Dies and I liked it ! Let me explain.
The actors, the costumes, some songs ( I think about "The beauty underneath" and "Devil take the hindmost" ) are incredible, charming, so good and all of this !
So yeah the characters are really weird...
Raoul is a bad father, Christine have a son with Erik (?) and I won't speak about the Giry's...
But it can show some interesting things !
For example:
Raoul is a bad father. He never plays with Gustave ( the son of Christine and Raoul think that he is his son but no ) and when Gustave try to play his own music he cut him.
Then we see Erik. He let Gustave plays his music and then he show to him some beautiful things.
So I think the show what to show that Erik, the one who never gets love or kindness, compassion, is a better father than Raoul whot got love and affection!
It's what I think and you probably have to watch the show to make your own point of view.
Sorry for the long post and thanks to read it all !

What kills me is that Love Never Dies, The Great Gatsby, and Chicago all take place at roughly the same time in two of the biggest cities in America like just to be a guy in the universe would be WILD.
