Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

The British changed the race of the Dumas hero.

The Three Musketeers speech by Bill Thomas (The Three Musketeers, 2023).

These same blacks who play white characters, they themselves are what they think, I wonder when they agree to these roles? They don’t study primary sources, chtoli, in general, or what’s with their brains? The question is rhetorical, of course, there were brains - they would have thought then.

By the way, the second black man in this film (Stanley J. Browne) has the role of a traitor. He was, like, a Musketeer, but he went over to Richelieu's side. His name was Bernage. Another director's "find". Although, according to the novel, Bernageu was originally the cardinal's guard. And not simple, but one of the most talented masters of the sword.

But now the film is interesting to watch: what if the British Aramis turns out to be gay and twenty years later will marry Richelieu or Mazarin?

Or suddenly the British will find other lines in the novel by Dumas, ala: "The Musketeer and His Horse", "Service in the Regiment and Love for the King", "Milady Transgender", and so on? Yes, and the Musketeers themselves will not be in hats, but in baseball caps.

Now I'm waiting for a new adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin. And always with white Tom and black planters.

#2  There is a tendency to buy some of this crap banking on its potential historical value down the road. Joe Biden campaign merch I will probably be more salable and interesting than woke Musketeers, in my opinion unless it is a graphic novel. Woke audiobooks will probably be banned at some point as they are likely to induce road rage in rational drivers. Trans beer can value will be impacted based on the caliber of the bullet holes.
