Uh... Why are there people claiming that Edmond and Mercédès end up together in the new movie ? He literally sails away alone and sends her a farewell letter to tell her that the new generation is going to be able to live the love story they couldn't live. Yes, there is one part of the letter that's cute and says something close to "if destiny ever puts us again on each others pathes I'll be grateful" but he's basically saying he has no plan of seeing her again but does not hate her and still keeps a fond memory of her, it's absolutely not the equivalent of them "getting together" ? It's still a farewell letter, although poetic and gentle.

#idk if it's bc their relationship is colder in the book maybe ?#but saying they get together in the movie is headcanon territory. I don't see how that's canon at all. it's misinformation #what's true is that haydée/edmond doesn't happen #but edmond/mercédès doesn't happen either. he's moving on both physically and emotionally that's the ending.#le comte de monte cristo #le comte de monte cristo (2024)#the count of monte cristo #cinema #bee tries to talk #opinions #upthebaguette
