Line 43 ⟶ 58:
** The final book, ''Le Vicomte de Bragelonne'', is an outright [[Downer Ending|crapsack ending]].
* [[Blondes Are Evil]]: Milady de Winter. {{spoiler|Athos attempts to warn d'Artagnan against blonde women because they all remind him of his undead wife. It doesn't work.}}
* [[Bodyguard]]s: All of the musketeers, especially d'Artagnan, served as bodyguards to Louis XIV.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Porthos to some extent, and this trait is usually his primary characterization for all adaptations.
* [[Book Dumb]]: d'Artagnan has no interest in academia, yet he's the group's idea man.
Line 117 ⟶ 133:
* [[Sexy Priest]]: Aramis
* [[Shot in the Ass]]: Poor Mousqueton... hee hee.
* [[Signature Device]]: The rapiers. Also in most adaptations, the [[Nice Hat|hats with the plumes]].
* [[Slave Brand]]: Milady de Winter has a brand marking her as a convicted criminal.
* [[Sword Fight]]: Despite being Musketeers, the heroes usually favor their swords. This changes somewhat when we see them on the battlefield. This is justified though by the weapons technology of the time which required a lengthy reloading process between shots (but they have their servants for that).
Line 137 ⟶ 154:
** There's an anime version, ''Anime San Juushi/Sous le signe des mousquetaires'', which was aired on French and Canadian TV as well.
** Disney made their own version, ''[[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers]]'', with the main reference to the original Musketeers being an autographed hat.
* [[Death by Adaptation]]: Rochefort is usually killed in a climatic duel with d'Artagnan. In the book, he lives, and [[Go-Karting with Bowser|
* [[Flynning]]: In every film and stage adaptation, except (and in stark contrast averted) in the 1973 series.
* [[Race Lift]]: One of the mascots for the candy bar (see below) is black.
Line 146 ⟶ 163:
