Death On Two Legs Beloved

I don't believe so sure, I can do a short one of him!

He's up there because he's clearly a Phantom who has been given a lot of freedom in the role, has put a ton of thought into what to do, and utilized both of that to do some really unique things. That being said, I think you can also tell when he's taken inspiration from others (e.g. him hugging Christine back during the kiss feels very much like Josh Piterman while his holding Christine's hand after was similar to David Thaxton, and I thought he had similar vibes to Ayanga's Phantom as well).

Overall I think he also plays a Phantom who is very easy to sympathize with, which I kind of mentioned in my review of Grace Roberts. Like, he does well enough being commanding and powerful (helped a lot by the fact that he is a head taller than his Christines), but it's the vulnerable moments where he really shines, which I suppose can also be a flaw - if you're looking for a very insane or angry Phantom, he's not really that. It's not that he's completely lacking in those qualities; there are moments where the way he moves or stands are almost predatory and other moments when he is a bit of a weirdo, as all Phantoms should be. Those are also usually the moments where I thought he got a little too dramatic or big with the acting. But it is the sadder moments that are the most memorable and where he's clearly doing a lot of new things, and it's why I enjoyed him so much. Vocals are good too, and he has a habit of pitching his voice quite high, almost falsetto-y, at particular moments ("yearns for heaven" and "dreams of beauty" in 'Stranger Than You Dreamt It', for example).

That being said, if you love a vulnerable Phantom a la Earl Carpenter who's clearly starved for touch, you'll love him! He throws in all kinds of new and interesting things, from revealing his face to Christine in STYDI and flinching away when she recoils, to pulling Christine in for a hug after she's felt his mask in PONR, to his whole entire kiss in 'Final Lair', to that ring return scene, to him holding up the veil to Christine's voice as she leaves in the boat, well... you'll have a lot of fun watching him if that's the kind of Phantom you enjoy! Or a lot of pain, whichever.

Have some more gifs! (Most are with Grace Roberts but the kiss is with Kayleigh Marven.)

See me crustle feel my hustle. Feat very very early wip for an animatic

With the new Harry Potter series she will be making a reported $20 million per-season renewal + other performance dependent royalties. She has been open across multiple interviews regarding her intentions to use said funds to push forth even more trans targeted legislation in the years to come.

This isn’t a “she gets paid no matter what” situation. The more eyeballs on this show the more money she has to actively harm vulnerable communities. By engaging with it you are directly supporting this and otherwise making a conscious choice to consume HP over doing the literal very least possible to not destroy the lives of trans people across the world.

If my stating the objective facts above upsets you then feel free to unfriend and move along. Your nostalgia-goggles feelings for a tired, problematic franchise mean nothing to me compared to the welfare of my trans friends and loved ones."

If you care more about badly written children's books and imaginary wizards more than you do about real people in the real world do it far the fuck away from me.

Don't try to be in my life.
