30 Reasons why Christine should have chose the Phantom instead of Raoul De Chaney
When he first comes to the Opera he has the "I'd rather be anywhere but here" look so clearly he is self centered
He didn't recognize her until after she became a star
He resembles a puppy. Not the cute kind, the stalker kind.
No strait man wears his hair like that
He didn't see the trapdoor when most of the movie watchers could see it from a mile away.
Darkness rules!!!
If she married the Viscount he would probably have mistresses. They were all the rave back then. THE PHANTOM WOULD'NT HAVE ONE!!!
Erik is a genius
What makes Christine think for a second that if she married Raoul his family wouldn't disown him and leave Christine and him to starve to death on the streets?
WAKE UP!! You too aren't the same children each other used to know and I bet that you won't notice until it's too late
Raoul would make her quit music and singing. And let's face it she would die without music.
Erik would (and did) die without her!
Ever think that maybe Erik is a gift from God to Christine and she just threw it away! Way to go Christine, you threw away your angel come to you in human form. Congratulations.
Erik loves her so much more than Raoul does
What Christine has with Raoul is simply a childhood crush. A romantic awakening if you will. NOT the real thing
Erik can hold an INTELLEGENT conversation
Erik loves Christine for Christine not like Raoul who loves the idea of Christine (aka a trophy wife)
Erik loved her through the good and the bad times Raoul loved her when it was convenient or made him look good
The names Erik and Christine sound a lot better together than Raoul and Christine.
Erik has the Punjab Lasso!!!
Erik would rip his heart out for her if it would make her smile at him and not care that he was dead. Raoul probably wouldn't
Raoul is stupid enough to believe that if he tells his "Brilliant" plan to the managers in the opera the phantom won't hear it
He stupid enough to believe that if he puts police in front of the doors they could catch the Phantom. Granted, it would work if they had any idea where any of his super clever and awesome trapdoors were
Raoul loves her enough to fight for her and die for her, but the Phantom loves her enough to do all of that and he loves her enough to put her own happiness first even if it kills him in the process
Erik asks for literally nothing except to be treated like a normal man and to live a normal life! And Christine is the only one that can make that happen
Erik is sexy
I'd be willing to bet a lot of money that Erik really is an angel trapped in a human body.
Really if you look at all of the deformities from every version all of them are not that bad and VERY easy to look past. ESPECIALLY the movie one
Erik's only crime was loving Christine too much and he probably doesn't regret it. Nor should he.
Erik brings sexy back, while Raoul only makes us thing "Geeze what a fop"
