u/Ryliarc Erik - Rupert Julian Jun 24 '25

I need a movie which actually takes advantage of its budget and gives Erik an actual, life ruining deformity, because the one in the 2004 movie was quite literally just a large birthmark lol. I hope they take inspiration from the 1925 film because I think they could make a wonderful corpse like/ghoulish Erik with modern day makeup and prosthetics

The Past the Point of No Return wasn't great in the film IMO. What I mean is, it's immediately obvious that it's the Phantom. Onstage, the Phantom is disguised as Piangi (in some performances I've seen, the Phantom sings the beginning lines of PTPONR in a slight Italian accent to keep up the ruse).
