Alright, I'm adoring almost everything about Les Mis including the bits I complain about, but I dead seriously am starting to think that Marius and Cosette's romance is the single stupidest, unhealthiest relationship I have ever read except possibly Twilight. But only possibly. I am genuinely, jaw-droppingly appalled at how thoroughly and unmitigatedly awful it is. I would think it was a parody of fairy-tale romance if it weren't clearly taking itself perfectly seriously. Every time I think it can't possibly get any more ridiculous, it gets more ridiculous. It's pretty much stopped being funny and now I'm just like I cannot get over how bad this is.

Hahahaha man, BOOK!MARIUS IS THE WORST. This is my strongest memory of reading Les Mis as a teenager: hating Marius SO MUCH. What a giant tool! Both Eponine AND Cosette can do better.
