"Seymour isnt sympathetic in the musical" are you telling me NOTHING about his singing is sympathetic?? He sounds so weak and vulnerable, especially when he says "death..." He truly is contemplating what he did, its really powerful

[@icarusavery5691]

Seymour burns through a LOT of goodwill with the audience. I still feel he's ultimately sympathetic, but he does some fucked up shit over the course of the story (esp. Mushnik's death.)

[@jackster9775]

@@icarusavery5691 Mushnik took advantage of him repeatedly. Remember the beginning when he lists what Mushnik did for him and Audrey basically told him it sounded like he was being used? The fact that Mushnik was profiting off of the literal blood of a young man who he’d been taking advantage of for years at that point is what’s more fucked up. In fact, I'd argue that Mushnik deserved it more than Orin

[@jackster9775]

@@icarusavery5691 there’s even a whole song where Mushnik adopts him in order to emotionally manipulate him into staying at the flower shop.

[@protomenfan200x]

Goddamn, Orin bashing his head on the floor and bleeding everywhere is so effective! Incredibly creepy visual, and also a simple way to show that Orin's losing control of his body. (The fakeout where Seymour thinks he's already dead, before he gets up again, is great too.)

[@sampeacaml9307]

That akward moment when you feel sympathy for a total ficitional jerk...Even if he wounded an innocent protagonist...

[@itsmxtwist]

Probably because it probably was a painful death

[@FritzMonorail]

Honestly feeling sympathy for Orin just means you're a better person than him.

[@sampeacaml9307]

@@FritzMonorail Well, thanks.

[@MechanicaDyadica]

That’s the point; the entire purpose of the story is meant to be Faustian and every character is meant to be perceived as “bad.” That’s not just me theorizing... if you pay attention to the lyrics of many of the songs you’ll find it’s all in there (e.g. “...feel the _sturm_ _and_ _drang_ in the air...”) Seymour is really meant to be pathetic instead of the sympathetic protagonist that Moranis presented, but both portrayals are entertaining in their own right. The original presentation is perhaps more meaningful though.

[@DussyBestroyer69]

Yup

[@piperoliver8007]

The blood on Orin's face is a really nice touch!

[@5amforever963]

Honestly, i think this is my favorite version of this song, cause it perfectly balances the whole insanity and calm acceptance that Orin has about dying, plus, i just like that there isn't a lot of yelling

[@RelicQuadrangle]

The newer Broadway cast was more comical and less serious..... It really annoyed me that Seymour said death so casually in the newer version ,even though it made me laugh. I like this version better, because Seymour is more sympathetic and Orin isn't yelling every line when he's technically supposed to be out of breath. I mean "duh!" Broadway he's dying, even if it's a musical number!

[@ellathedino]

I think the yelling is a nice touch. And it kind of bothers me but in a nice way. Also I like the way you used insanity

[@obitosenju3768]

I also like that the laughting sounds like it could come from just the gas but also that Orin could genuently find it hularious how his death is playing out

[@SilverDGolden]

In this version of the song you feel more sympathy for Orin. In the broadway cast recording tostadas the end he starts to sound desperate but still like a absolutely maniac and when the section at the very end he starts to sound aggressive and more angry than anything. It this version he is truly pleading.

[@z2yn]

There was a lot of sharp dentist equipment lying around. Why didn't he just use it to stab holes into the mask or even slice off the tubes connected to the mask?

[@bigdaddyhack1574]

he was too busy making sure he wasn't flat, the song was more important clearly

[@z2yn]

ok that makes sense 🤔

[@joshuaolsoncook]

Orin’s not exactly the most mentally stable (or the most intelligent) villain in Little Shop of Horrors.

[@thomasleitstein2181]

He was loopy from the gas-meaning he might not have been physically able . Also dentist equipment isnt as sharp as you think it probably wouldn't have worked, especially if it's an expensive gas mask, the tubes are specifically designed to be sturdier so they dont tear

[@z2yn]

@@thomasleitstein2181 ok that makes even more sense and explains everything - which just means the guy is screwed no matter what he does

[@jackster9775]

Can we just acknowledge that Seymour’s life sucks so much that only 2 people showed him authentic love and kindness where it was clear they had no ulterior motive and one of them beat the other to hell?

[@jackster9775]

Like Audrey and Orin were the only ones being nice and suggesting that Seymour does whatever he (as in Seymour) wants with the plant. Mushnik gaslights and manipulates him into sharing it by adopting him.

[@themanformerlyknownascomme777]

[@cjtheprop-maker]

Why this song was left out of the movie, I'll never know. It's a great number!

[@ChristopherPiskorz]

It was left out because it made Seymour less sympathetic. At 1:24 he admits that he knows what he is doing is wrong.

Nah, most likely this is just a cut down version of the song, if you watch a recording of it, "what we have here is a tricky moral problem... I can off the guy by staying in the chair" is present in the 1984 original offbroadway musical as well.
