We live in a world where there are not one, but two whole-ass movies about the Three Musketeers that include Cyrano de Bergerac as a character (the dueteragonist in Cyrano et D’artagnan from 1964 and a glorified cameo in The Return of the Musketeers in 1989)...

And neither one of them has realized the full glorious potential of this premise, and I will die mad about it.

#*That's an entire movie fcking gift-wrapped for you and you refuse to do anything with it...*#the three musketeers #cyrano de bergerac #the schemer speaks #The first movie is basically just a retread of the first 'Musketeers' book with a creepy and weird romantic subplot #and the second movie is otherwise pretty solid but then they shoehorn Cyrano's scene in toward the end just to make him look like an idiot.#How *amazing* would a proper crossover be if it was done right??#You've got such vastly different worldviews between the main characters and such a fascinating historical backdrop to work with #and by God if I have to write the goddamn thing myself I will. XD
