Your generally distasteful diatribe aside, using an allegation of homosexuality as an insult is in the worst of taste. Bad form, I say.

EDIT: Havelock: I thought he'd mentioned use of the word "gay" as something that angered him, therefore I threw it in there for good measure. I'm vocal supporter of gay marriage and rights, and I apologize if you're offended, the intent is to piss of SSJ.

like talk about dead moms or say the word gay when they mean it on the first definishon.

There it is. Hence the reference to gay dead mothers.

Twitch - I thought exactly the same thing - that Goku is g.net.

Maybe its the duck in disguise??

Honestly if you pay attention it isn't even to hard to figure out who is behind it. By all means continue poking it with a stick if you enjoy it, just don't think it will accomplish anything.

Now, if we could only convince Baron Lloyd Webber to scrap that godforsaken sequel idea...

Actually, the music of Love Never Dies is not all that bad. Well, some of it is. But I believe it was intented so.
Bathing Beauty is absolutely horrible and makes me want to puke.
But tracks like 'Til I Hear You Sing, Devil Take the Hindmost and Why Does She Love Me are pretty awesome.
I'd even go as far as to say 'Til I Hear You Sing is a masterpiece that can easily stand up to Music of the Night.

I can concede that there are a few bearable, even pleasant musical moments in the score. That is not my primary quarrel with the work. Rather, it is the sheer audacious and willful destruction of the hauting story of love, jealousy, and redemption that makes the original tale an enduring classic.

The sequel completely undermines and negates the Phantom's selfless act of releasing Christine from his clutches so that she might have a better life than the one he can give her. In Love Never Dies, he has regressed to his old obsessive, manipulative tendancies.

I will refrain from commenting further on the dreadful re-fashioning of the other characters retained from the original, as well as the cheap plot contrivance that is the legacy of Christine's encounter with the Phantom the night before her wedding, and the absurdities of the supposedly dramatic finale. Oh, and of course, there is that whole issue with the animatronic Christine doll that the Phantom keeps in his new abode... *shudders*

That being said, I will remark that Mr. Lloyd Webber and his cohorts did themselves no favors by waging a disgusting smear campaign through the media against fans who were opposed to the show. The object of this war of words was to paint said fans as obssessive, lonely housewives who have no lives outside of Phantom in an effort to discredit the significant tide of valid arguments and criticisms levied against the sequel.

Alas, it appears I have allowed my temper to gain the upper hand, but this is one topic I feel quite strongly about.

I remain, your obediant servant...

@ HavelockV , well spoken, had not even known of the sequel but your arguement boils down to my own opinion. The story was over, and it had a rare thing in literature (imho) a very good ending, leave it alone.

I know it won't get me anywhere but it sure as heck is fun. Plus I have this image of this office where they all sit around going "Aw crap who wants to mod g.net?" and then perform some sort of ritualistic game, like drawing straws and poor Goku drew the short one, or maybe he went to the bathroom at the wrong time and was voted moderator....

Well, all in all, there are a lot of things that I would wish weren't there.
However, if you have read the book by Susan Kay that both the musicals are obviously based on, the whole deal with Gustave is not THAT out of character.
Now I haven't actually seen the musical as it doesn't run in Denmark, but I have listened to the music quite a few times.
While I agree that Mr. Lloyd Webber would've been better off to leave well enough alone, I can accept the sequal somehow.
If I were to mention the one redeeming trait about the sequal as it is now, it would be the fact that the people who were cast for it are better singers than both the movie cast and the original cast of The Phantom of the Opera.
Especially the Phantom. The guy cast in Love Never Dies beats both Gerard Butler and Michael Crawford by far.

- O.G.

Interestingly enough, the Susan Kay novel was not published until 1990, nearly four years after the original show opened in London in 1986, and two years after its Broadway premiere in 1988. I daresay it would not have been written at all had it not been for the influence of the Lloyd Webber musical.

The idea of Gustav came from Phantom of Manhattan, a novella by Frederick Forsythe that was commissioned by Andrew Lloyd Webber as a sequel to the original show and released in 1999. That book formed the backbone of Love Never Dies.

I stand corrected.
Then obviously, the book was inspired by the muscial. My mistake.
