Well, I suppose that they didn't mean to make Raoul completely unsympathetic, given "Why Does She Love Me?" and his "Dear John" letter. However, they do put him in a generally bad light. My main problem is that there is not even a shadow of the flaws that he has in LND (the gambling addiction, the drinking, the hair-trigger temper, the coldness, the "Well, yeah? You're ugly!" attitude towards the Phantom) in the original. I'd only buy that he changed so drastically in the interval if I saw that change take place.

As for Meg, it's not really the mob thing that bothers me so much; I just said that for the sake of brevity. It's the psychology that gets me. For the entirety of the original, she only knows the Phantom as this mysterious figure who does nasty things, which would hardly inspire any sort of trust. How does she go from that to "please please please pay attention to me" in ten years? She's already in her mid-teens (I assume, anyway) by the end of the original, so these aren't even particularly formative years for her. Plus, he's not putting effort into winning her devotion like he did to Christine; in fact, he's ignoring her. To me, it makes more sense that she'd be desperate for her mother's approval, which might lead her to devote herself to the Phantom anyway. However, in LND, it's definitely his approval that she wants. I'm not saying that this couldn't be made believable, but "ten years later, everybody was really, really different and damned if I know why" isn't the way to go about it. It's just lazy.
