* CompleteMonster: [[AbusiveParents Monsieur Thénardier]] is a greedy innkeeper who accepts guardianship of little Cosette from her mother, Fantine, while [[WouldHurtAChild beating the poor girl]] and [[FosteringForProfit using her to extort money from Fantine]], resulting in Fantine prostituting herself and eventually falling sick and dying. After losing his inn, Thénardier prostitutes his own daughters and even has one, Azelma, mutilate her hand to make her a more effective and sympathetic beggar. Not above murder, Thénardier happily tries to kill both Jean Valjean and Javert at different points, even threatening to torture the former with a hot poker. Even when driven from France by Marius Pontmercy, Thénardier simply sets up shop in America as a slave trader to further profit from human misery. Be he a con artist, [[RobbingTheDead grave robber]], or attempted murderer, there is no low Thénardier will not sink to for [[{{Greed}} the sake of profit]].

** In terms of casting, good luck finding someone who likes Nick Jonas as Marius.

** In terms of casting, good luck finding someone who likes Nick Jonas as Marius. Not that he does a bad job, he's perfectly serviceable. But even Nick Jonas fans agree that besides his youthful looks, Nick does ''not'' have the vocal power for this role.

** Hell, the entire cast, bar Monsieur and Madame Thénardier (though she's arguably a JerkassWoobie too). There's a reason you're sobbing by the end.
