To be fair, in the book the three musketeers were always Porthos, Athos, and Aramis. D'Artagnan joins the group and becomes their companion later on.

Should the book have been named the Four Musketeers? Probably. But hey, it's French.

I figure the title is meant to be interpreted as "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers". He's the main character and the book is about his adventures with them. What does bother me is the total lack of muskets.

Not if you keep waving that sword around so carelessly.

Hey! Watch it! ๐Ÿ‘‚

At least 8, if my math checks out.

There are Muskets when they have lunch at a gate of the city they are besieging.

Naming it the Four Musketeers would have been a huge spoiler.

I'm not sure where you get your information but I'm pretty sure their names are Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Pluto was just a dog in that movie.

It's about D'Artagnan's journey to becoming a Musketeer, so calling it 4 Musketeers would be Spoilers! A better choice would be "The 3 Musketeers and I" which my old brain is hinting may have been the title of some film version...

No, because D'Artagnan wasn't a member of the Musketeers.

[-] milkisklim@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

He becomes one by the end of the book. And spends the next two books as a member.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Ah, I haven't read the other two. I actually didn't even know they existed until you told me just now. But for the first book he's definitely just a friend of the Musketeers until the very end.

Because he wasn't actually a musketeer (not until the very end anyway). He was friends with the musketeers, but was basically just a regular guy off the street. A musketeer was some kind of position in the military/royal guard or whatever. He didn't hold that position.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
