I just think things that haven't been adapted yet should get adaptions rather than endless adaptions of the same thing. LOTR has 2 adaptions. Barely. How many does POTO have?

I don't understand your logic here. Adaptations are made based on monetary reasons, they're not merit based. Even if no more PotO adaptations were made ever again doesn't mean that their slot goes to a more deserving piece of media.

OP would like to see another adaptation because they don't feel any of the previous ones did the canon justice. That's not an unreasonable wish from a fan. I'm not sure why you're acting as though it's unfair of them to feel that way and insulting a piece of media they enjoy. Is that how you'd want people to behave towards you and your favorite fandoms?

Yah, honestly not sure. Sorry. Should have thought it through more before commenting. My brain is not functioning particularly great right now. Sorry. People should get the adaptions they want.

Fair enough.

Well, that was a successful bit of bullying. Congrats.

(Sort of, someone else made the secret) OP here, and thanks for sticking up for me. I do understand why people get frustrated at endless adaptations, though, because Spider-Man exists. (Only kind of joking jfc can we get a 20-year Spidey-moratorium plz.) But unfortunately my bitching and pleading for a decent PotO adaptation isn’t gonna mean shit unless del Toro or his buddies haunt FS.

(In which case hi Guillermo I love you you’re awesome please direct a version of The Phantom of the Opera and wipe Joel “Batnipples” Schulmacher’s *sexy* nonsense and Julian Sands’ pretty-boy Phantom stuffing rats down his trousers from my mind thank you.)

Oh, I get it, too. But nobody has to watch adaptations they don't want, and frankly, in the case of PotO I get it because it's a popular book/show and the more recent movie adaptation was kind of crap. Of course fans would like to see someone do a better job, or see another director's take on it, there's nothing wrong with that.

(Sort of) OP here and I get where you’re coming from because Spider-Man: We Must Have Two Films Per Decade is a thing, but on the other hand you’re right, there are lots of PotO adaptations.

One involves an undeformed hot young blonde Phantom getting off to putting rats down his pants. One involves immortal Freddie Krueger cutting faces off murder victims and sewing them to himself. One involves ‘70s disco music. At least one involves the Phantom having an Oedipus complex and confusing Christine for his mother. I just want one that actually kind of follows the plot of the book and has actors that can sing playing Christine and Erik.
