hm...so many questions, so many minutes before bed...first, how old was Raoul at the end of the new movie? How old would Gerik be, considering he was like, old-ER before that...in Leroux, Erik said "Oh, thank you for saving me the exertion at my age." so how old is he? I know quite a bit of other answers, myself, or I would have asked them.
I kinda wanted the questions to be in a thread you would make yourself, but eh.
sweatdrop At the end of the movie I'd say he was in his sixties, roughly. Gerik, considering he would've been thirty at the time of the story, in his seventies. Erik was intended originally to be in his late forties or fifties. In that day and age, that was considered very old since medicine wasn't developed for everything and one could often die young from even a cold. Not to mention diseases unknown then.
Plus, with Erik's deformity, I doubt he was in the best physical condition anyway. You never know if that defect was affecting his bones or muscles.
Don't feel bad about asking questions, that's why I made this subforum. I wanted all the phans in the guild to be able to freely ask their questions so that they could learn more about PotO.
