Eh. musical!Eponine is written to be likeable and relatable; I'm not going to begrudge anyone their liking of her as she's presented there. But the love-triangle subplot in the musical never really did it for me--even my first time watching the show, it seemed like this incredibly generic interruption to an epic tale of JUSTICE! and REDEMPTION! and SACRIFICE! and STANDING UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT! And really, I think all three of them are ill-served by being collapsed into a dime-a-dozen romance plot, because that's not what's interesting about them; what's interesting is their trajectories from their incredibly fucked-up home lives to become the people they are, and then the ways they eventually collide. It almost seems a disservice to Eponine to make her all about the boy, even if it garners her loads of fans in the process.

And... IDK, I guess I am slightly butthurt that the movie brought back a bunch of stuff from the book (including development of Marius and Cosette's respective home lives!), and Anne Hathaway got to deliver Fantine's story in all its naked, ugly desperation, and Sam Barks didn't get to do much with Eponine except "pretty, plucky, and lovelorn." Because if she'd had musical!Eponine's essentially-sympathetic storyline but with more depth, with some hint that her whole adolescence has been twisted and she's nowhere near emotionally stable and she's got nothing left to lose, that would have been amazing.
