bbc Grimaud: hot evil emo dude, idk what his problem was tho
vs
book Grimaud: actually he just doesn't get paid enough for this shit so if he wanted to murder Athos like in the show I'd understand that lmao
A quick reminder for men that Aramis canonically paid a lot of attention to his looks and had an elaborate skin care routine. Which did not in any way stop him from stabbing anyone who doubted his masculinity. Of course I’m not saying you should stab people, it’s not the 17th century anymore, it’s unethical & illegal & possibly toxically masculine… but maybe if they’re forcing unnecessary stereotypes on you in a really aggressive manner…
Chat there so goofy
The silliest musketeers
The Three Musketeers (also known as The Three Musketeers (The Queen's Diamonds)) by Richard Lester.
Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas.
Along with the 1993 adaptation and Randall Wallace's The Man in the Iron Mask, this is definitely one of my favorite versions of the musketeers.
A beautiful adventure film with smart and quick comedic energy.
