Also keep in mind, the original story didn't have Christine being raped by some background character and being forced to sleep with another background character for an alibi. Actually, I don't think there was any sexual assault depicted or seen in the original musical and movie if I remember. Why it's added for this story, I'd like to know because htf is that relevant to the story? Why rape keeps getting sexualized in these type of stories (especially omegaverse stories) , I'd like to know even more
Exactly, not even in the original novel. It's like authors gets happy the more abuse their characters suffers from. It's weird honestly.
For those who are new to the concept of the Phantom of the Opera, look up Phantom of the Opera featuring Emma Roossum, and Gerard Butler(who played the phantom).
For those who are concerned about the phantom being deformed, in the original screenplay he is deformed from a birth defect, the movie is truly beautiful and is worth the watch if you have the time! Plus it'll give you an insight on the story coming ahead!!
