## TCOMC characters- Book VS Movie

otjoku:

> edettethegreat:

> > Book Caderousse: In his 20s at the beginning, and in his 40s or 50s (also dead) at the end. He’s probably drunk like 90% of the time.

> > Movie Caderousse: A very stupid old man.

> > Book Edmond: He starts out young and naive, but post chateau d’if he’s driven to revenge and sees the world in a much darker way.

> > Movie Edmond: REVENGE! IS! THE! ONLY! THING! THAT! MATTERS!

> > Book Eugenie: A smart, independent girl who pretty much every guy is intimidated by. In a stable and happy relationship with her girlfriend.

> > Movie Eugenie: Valentine, for some reason.

> > Book Albert: Passionate, loves his family, a bit too impulsive at times but it pretty chill with getting kidnapped by criminals.

> > Movie Albert: literally just a stupid and naive child.

> > Book Mercedes: A pretty good and well written character.

> > Movie Mercedes: love interest #1 for Dantes.

> > Book Maximilien: Cool soldier dude, also has normal human emotions (which you don’t see in all that many male characters tbh)

> > Movie Maximilien: Albert, for some reason.

> > Book Valentine: REALLY cares about her grandfather, also cares about Maximilien.

> > Movie Valentine: REALLY cares about Albert, who she’s dating for some reason? Also maybe cares about her grandfather?

> > Book Benedetto: ya know Edmund from King Lear? Ok, well he’s been reincarnated in 1817 for some reason. This is him. (For those of you who want a better description: nearly everyone who meets him trusts his for some reason even though they shouldn’t, he’s repeatedly described as a good looking dude, he lies and deceives people for the sake of getting money, and is a bastard in every regard.)

> > Movie Benedetto: standard stereotypical scam artist.

> > Book Villefort: A morally grey dude who has really poor judgement (which is ironic considering his career). He just won’t stop making horrible decisions. He literally won’t stop. And he thinks “hey, I’m not that bad..” but he is.

> > Movie Villefort: PURE EVIL. IS EVIL JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT.

> > Book Noirtier: ultimate badass.

> > Movie Noirtier: crippled old guy.

> > Book Danglars: relatively young at the start, pretty clever dude.

> > Movie Danglars: much older than everyone else, also has no personality whatsoever.

> > Book Fernand: not the brightest. Also not a good person. But he cares about his family at least (and is the only one of the 3.5 main antagonists to care about his family).

> > Movie Fernand: EVIL. HATES HIS FAMILY.

> > Book Faria: wise old man

> > Movie Faria: also wise old man. The movies don’t mess up Faria that much.

> > Book Any character that doesn’t appear in movies (Franz, Beauchamp…): has a cool backstory and a unique personality.

> > Movie Any character that doesn’t appear in movies: non- existent.

> Which movie adaptation or adaptations did you use for comparision?

All of them that I could find- including the really strange anime one that takes place in space and in the future for some reason and turns Edmond into a demon or something
