But in ALW, and more especially in the 2004 movie… it’s a whole other story. When you know that, you start feeling a little bit uncomfortable. There are a few people who ship E/C even in Leroux… I feel kind of awkward in front of those people… I mean, just as a start, Erik is 50-60 and Christine is 16.
When it comes to Leroux, I think pretty much everyone is okay with the fact Christine ends up with Raoul. And for what is of the stage-Christines… it depends who is playing her. Making an R/C fanvideo just proved it to me. I’m talking of the 2004 movie, which apparently has an ambiguity, but in my humble opinion, it really doesn’t. Yes, I’m conscious that they shared a very strong bond in music, that the Phantom was a very important figure in Christine’s childhood and teenage, and yes, Christine was fascinated by him and did feel lust for him, but it’s pretty obvious that she didn’t love him. I remember, when I entered the phandom, I was a mild R/C shipper (You know, “I prefer that Christine ends up with Raoul because things are better this way…”) But now, I came to a point where I actually despise the Erik/Christine pairing. Now, I’m not being rude, it’s okay to like the E/C pairing (I guess…), but I’m just being really honest.
But I was still shocked of seeing the ridiculous number of E/C authors, especially that there are very good ones among them. Before coming on Fanfiction, I already knew that almost everyone on Earth were E/C shippers. Yes, I know I was supposed to publish my Love Never Dies rant before, but… this is really to help me write it. Top 10 reasons for why Erik/Christine doesn’t work.
