The Phantom of the Opera: I was born with facial deformities that are so horrific that even my own mother couldn't bear to look at me.

Me: So that's why you have to live as an outcast in the basements of the opera house?

The Phantom, who has been an admired performer, palace architect, royal executioner, and chief contractor of the opera house who is able to go out in public with no alteration to his face except a false nose and mustache: No, that's a separate choice that I've made.

I was gonna make a post about how I think that Benoit is a Broadway cast recording purist and struggles with revivals of his favorite shows. But I was rewatching Wake Up Dead Man and I noticed a detail that I haven’t seen anyone talk about.

When we first see Grace tear up the church through Martha’s perspective, we see her walk in with this blood red circle behind her, crowning her in this evil halo. Then, after she tears up the church, she lets out these creepy screeches that almost sound demonic.

The second time we see her, there’s no evil light behind her. When she crawls on the ground, she is not screeching— she’s crying. A purely human sound, the sound of someone who was just trying to take back the life the church took from her. Someone who was hurt by her father.

Then, in Martha’s final moment, when Jud first mentions Grace, we see how Martha has seen her for her entire life, with dark red surrounding her. Then, when she finally sees who Grace really was, she just exists as a broken woman. No longer a harlot whore but a woman in deep, unimaginable pain

i saw a post that talks about how from the very first confession, wicks disrespects his own faith by lying to jud in confession

but there’s something to be said about how from that very first confession, wicks lays everything on the table, and does truly confess the worst about himself. envying the material wealth of others (the car ad / the inheritance), wanting power (his grandfathers power / manipulating the flock / teaming up with cy).

wicks is honest, he’s telling jud exactly the kind of man he is. but the thing is, it is still a mockery of the holiness of confession and a betrayal of his faith, because he’s not sorry for any of it

someone on here posted about how Benoit seemed more radicalized after the events of Glass Onion (if i can find the post again I'll link it) and i haven't stopped thinking about it

here's what we know about benoit blanc

he's a famous detective who has worked on a variety of high-profile cases

his father was a cop

his mother was religious and they stopped speaking to each other

he listens to musicals

he is very observant

he is not religious

he lives with a man (confirmed off-screen to be his partner, ambiguous onscreen)

he is bad at mystery games

we know glass onion took place in May 2020. as part of this case, he watched a powerful white man try (and eventually fail) to steal the work of one Black woman and try to silence/intimidate another. and right after that he likely observed the way cops treated people (especially people of color) during the protests of summer 2020

In knives out, Benoit Blanc works closely with the cops, but also willfully invites a suspect he knows is involved in the death of Harlan. While he does not do anything to obscure her potential guiltiness, he does let her protect herself.

in glass onion, Blanc agrees to help Helen with the case outside of law enforcement. the cops don't even show up until AFTER the glass onion building bursts into flames.

In wake up dead man, Jud is already assumed guilty despite circumstantial evidence, but Blanc's reading of him shows him to be kind-hearted and incapable of murder. While he does work with the cops, he intentionally gets in the way of the law and helps protect Jud because he knows him to be a scapegoat.

i think it makes a lot of sense over the entire timeline's narrative that Blanc would become more aware of the systemic issues in the justice system after the first two cases we've seen as movies, and that he would be more willing to go outside the law to make sure justice is served
