villains in suits is going to be the end of me 

A suit? Is that all? A suit is mundane. A suit is what every man wears. Have you no imagination? Frankly. mademoiselle, a tuxedo is the only “suit” with any real style. Without a tailcoat it is simply….unfinished.

I said no such thing. I was merely pointing out that a mere suit is a very low bar to meet. Any man who does not own a proper suit is no man at all.

there is no reason erik needed that much money he was just doing it to piss everyone off

I beg your pardon, Mademoiselle Azura! I've left you be for far too long if this is the sort of thing you've begun to believe! How am I to keep my lair stocked with hundreds of candles or my wardrobes full of the finest capes if not for an abundance of funds!?

But Erik! it’s a story about you! And Christine! Had a baby together! Raoul turns out drunk and angry! Don’t you wanna see how it turns out? Plus there’s you singing rock music, which is fabulous.

It sounds utterly preposterous. I'll refrain.
