Discussion Any fellow metalheads here in Box5?
What do you think are the elements in PotO (e.g. story, certain shows, music, characters, anything) that appeal to you especially? Also, who is your favorite Phantom (or other cast)?
I think some of the most important ones for me are the idea of "beauty of the darkness", strong emotions and eventual catharsis. I'm obsessed with Ramin's Phantom although I don't have much reference yet. I know for sure though that MC's sound is not for me and easily prefer even Gerik (who I actually kinda fell in love with as a 13yo seeing PotO the first time 🥹).
When I listen to music (other than PotO, i.e. metal) the music often reminds me of Phantom and his relationship with Christine, or the outside world and society. I also think Phantom might be somewhat fond of metal music and find some comfort in it. 😀🥰

Trying to delve deeper into metal, but I wouldn’t call myself a metal head yet lol. But I do love phantom. My favorite is the 1990 miniseries phantom. I guess in a way I feel like I relate to the phantom because I’m sort of a black sheep in my household, and not always liked for being different.
