After the new movie, did you start feeling a little more for Raoul?

I've never really hated Raoul...my opinion's alway been something along the lines of "eh..."

I like Erik roughly a thousand times more, of course (...but if I had been Christine I would have gone with the Perisan...>_>), though I never really thought Raoul did anything wrong.

Still, it is fun to make fun of him. X3

Yus! Persian love!

I don't think it's really Raoul everyone hates - I think it's the fact that he's portrayed as the "Knight-In-Shining-Armor." Most guys are like, "Hah, yeah right, he's such a p***y," and most girls want the bad boys nowadays.

Raoul always seemed pompous to me - it doesn't help that my friend who got me into PotO doesn't really like him. I think the only reason Christine when with him was because Erik was too... much. People get put off when someone they admire absolutely adores them. Smothering Affection = Bad in many cases.

Raoul was just a safer choice - he was 100% pretty, wasn't feared by anyone, was respected and liked, and had the means to support her. She obviously didn't know about Erik's dragon-horde of moolah, or else she might've thought a little more.

Not after the movie, but im reading the book, and the way GL talks about him, make you want to go: "Awww!" Like if you saw a little puppy. Hes new to love, and dosn't know what the sick in his stomach is supposed to mean!

I have to say that in the movie I did not hate the character of Raoul but I hear that he is very different in the Broadway version so.

Actually...yeah..I like Raoul a little more after the movie. *winces*

In the book I didn't like him. He DID cry every other chapter. The wuss..
In the musical, I was pretty indifferent towards him. He was just...There.
In the old 1920's movie, I kinda liked him. But he was a little like Hitler (in looks, not behavior!).. sweatdrop
And in the new movie, I was really liking how he would do anything for Christine. And he had a pretty voice. But the same goes for Erik. Only ten times over. whee

Maybe it WAS just Patrick Wilson. xd

D: I like Erik a lot more after the movie. Raoul.. I dunno. I don't think so. XDD He did look sort of pathetic and soggy at the end, but all I did was hiss obcenities at him, and snicker. XDDDD

*scratches chin* I was actually a bit more sympathetic with the book version of Raoul and got a bit of distaste for him after the movie and then I came to this guild to see all the Raoul bashing O.o

all though I have to admit that one scene...The point of no return...where the phantom (once again) is sucking Christine in by his beautiful voice and then Christine begins to sing and you sort of forget about the whole ploy to turn the phantom in, and then they pan in to Raoul, standing up in his box while watching the performance and his eyes are all red and tears are forming and he has this "Christine....you do love him don't you?" look on his face. Yeah, I have to admit that was rather a poignant moment...I feel for Raoul then.
