Re: Adaptations that annoy you...

[(Anonymous)]

The 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie has my eternal ire for lots of reasons (seriously why 1871 that is such a pointlessly stupid choice and there's literally no reason not to go with 1881, when Paris wasn't under fucking siege, grr) because it manages to combine "well we want everyone to do their own singing because it's more authentic" with "not Minnie Driver just dub her lol" and "the only one of our three leads who can sing is the one who's canonically not a singer," for a perfect storm of shit.

Add in Joel "Batnipples" Schumacher insisting on boob padding for the 16 year old Christine and ass padding for the 35 year old Phantom. And Butler's only saving grace being that he refused to do the final lair scenes shirtless and flat old told Schumacher that wasn't the point. Also Schumacher's "well if you like the musical you should just stay home," and Butler's "well it's all about sex." Oh and Raoul and Christine are childhood friends but Raoul and the Phantom are the same age and Christine meets 18 year old Erik when she's like 8 so yay for grooming I guess?

And most especially that Rossum couldn't sing the score as written and Butler couldn't even get close, even autotuned to death, and he sounded like Bullwinkle the Moose's inexplicably Scottish cousin.

Which lead to a rash of fanfics full of teen Christine, not to mention hot Scottish aristocrat Erik with blazing green eyes, a gravelly voice, six-pack abs, and chest hair.

For fuck's sake I would've forgiven at least half of that if they'd just dubbed Rossum and Butler with better singers.
