Marius goes to see Javert, huh? And gets a pistol right away??
In canon, he gets two! Javert is not attached to his guns, it seems. Even though they are apparently 'fine'. He never gets them back, either. Damn Pontmercy fool.
Oh, this is where this Javert is an impoverished nobleman. And he explains why the hunt excites him. Arouses, him, almost, from the use of 'exciter' in that context.
...impoverished nobleman, what? I mean....what? Marius is (by choice, obvs), but...Javert? Uhhhh, no.
But AHAHA, the infamous 'Javert jouissant' line. They went there, huh? *snort* Umm...yeah. That's a Thing. *grin*
And now Marius has a BSOD over the fact that this is Thénardier.
Do they explain the context for that, with Marius's father, etc? I imagine if they didn't, it would be weird.
I'm so glad they included VJ burning himself though, and Javert not noticing him escape. But omg, no 'do you want my hat?' line? That sucks. Malkovert would have pulled that off perfectly. D:
Thénardier: too stupid to escape from prison. He forgot to make a rope. And everybody else waits outside the gates until Gavroche talks Thénardier down -- how stupid are these people??
Also canon! Though not so much talking, as going up there are rescuing him. And his dad a) doesn't recognise him, and b) doesn't say thanks. And Gavroche isn't bothered, which makes it pretty heartbreaking.
Old Fauchelevent asks the abbess's blessing to join the revolution -- what??
...what?
I mean, OK, I can see it would save having to introduce a new character to have Fauchelevent at the barricade, instead of Mabeuf (who is frickin' awesome), but augh. No.
Brick!vert does indeed take his police card to the barricade. I think it's part of his 'unable to tell a lie', thing. He never defends himself, even when VJ comes to kill him. Headcanon is that he'll go along with being undercover, but won't lie to maintain it, and won't ever pretend not to be a policeman - but I need to re-read sections before I ever go near that with meta. More likely, I'll just look up some decent written-by-other-people meta on the subject. *again, laziest*
It all sounds like it's getting a bit more wtf by this stage of proceedings. Maybe they needed to action it up before the finale. But it still makes me a bit sad, when the first two parts seemed to be pretty canon-faithful.
