me: les mis isnt about romance and i worry that the bbc adaptation will be so heavily focused on it that it will lose the overarching social commentary
also me: if enjolras and grantaire dont die holding hands im suing
there are a lot of cringy school editions of les miserables but nothing tops the one my friends school made where Javert doesn’t take his life, instead he’s shot to death by valjean
The Cool Section of the Les Mis Fandom: All I want in BBC’s Les Mis is an adaptation that finally (finally!) gives Les Amis the screentime they deserve! “I believe in you!!” And “To be free!” and “WILL YOU peRMIT IT!” The wonderful iconic Les Amis moments!! All the characterizations!!!
Me (not cool, literal opposite of cool): bbc,,,,….all I want is the Brick’s Best Scene Ever….
.u kno, the one that never makes it into adaptations….the post-barricades “Valjean and Javert Reluctantly Agree to Work Together to Bring the Wounded Marius Home, and Have the Most Awkward Road Trip of All Time on the Way There” scene..,,. pls….. bbc,,,,..my dude…..I’ll give you my firstborn child…..
me, groveling on the floor: bbc…. pls…. make my dreams come true…give us the scene where marius sniffs the handkerchief for months thinking it’s cosette’s but it’s not it’s valjean’s….pls bbc i will give you my soul
me, sobbing : bbc, please… Fauchelevent helping Valjean getting out of the convent in order to get in again by locking him up in a coffin… And Fauchelevent panicking because it’s not really going as planned… pls… it’s funny…. and cool…….,,,
