This gave me such good #honey nut feelios! The good captain used that phrase in another message, which I must add to my fandom vocab ;}

captainthunderbunny​ here has articulated the issue re: the hate Antonio Banderas gets for being cast as Armand. The good captain put it very well, it’s a movie adaption, it’s not meant to be an exact replica of the book. 

There are all kinds of reasons why a movie has chosen to go in a different direction than the book, the director has chosen to work on the film bc they want to put their spin on the story, so if you don’t like elements they’ve changed, consider them AU to your headcanon.

It’s so good to promote such peaceable ppl as the captain ❤
