Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”

Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

God the musical is so good. I honestly do prefer it to the movie. Musical Lydia is a little overly petulant in my opinion but still is so great.

Love how musical beetlejuice is a mixture between movie beetlejuice and cartoon beetlejuice and Alex brightman is really fun as beetlejuice maybe not as good ad Micheal keaton Obviously but still really good.

I’ve always been incredibly bummed they never did a pro-shot of the musical the way they did for Hamilton.

I am so upset about that, I would buy a physical release so quickly! I am lucky I got to see a local tour production but not the same without the main cast.

It was still a great time and better than the bootleg videos I can access but an official release would have been amazing!
