Why isn't there all the major events/charries?+Mari us


Mari-oos??? isn't it supposed to be Mari-us??

And why no Eponine and Thenardiers?

i don't like this version a lot, it leaves out 2 many vital details, like it doesn't show how Fantine gets out on the street. i know it explains that, and Valjean might be the main character, but this made Fantine seem like a minor one. Fantine isn't supposed to ever meet Cosette again, and young Cosette isn't supposed to be so beautiful at first sight. thernardiers could've sounded a bit more evil and greedy instead of in practically the same tone. and the ending!!! Valjean is supposed to die peacefully w/ Eponine and Fantine and all those who died at the barricade taking him to heaven...that could've been a problem w/ no Eponine, but they left this out and it's just him and Cosette reunited. this could've been much better.
