There was like one scene with muskets in the book. Even then, I grew up with this material (in the form of several different movie and cartoon adaptations, and eventually the book, too), and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that the name musketeer comes from the musket.
D’artanian wasn’t a musketeer. He just a friend of the other 3.
Also: For a group called the “musketeers” they didn’t use a helluva lot of muskets in that movie.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I figured it out just now.
Pas fort, Dwayne, pas fort…
Unrelated, but just wanted to say that I appreciate your username. Would vote for you for president.
Ok, explain Mouseketeers, though. WTF is a mouseket?
A mouse sized musket.
I learned it from Civilization.

I used to speech to text because I couldn’t remember how to spell it and apparently the dictionary on my phone doesn’t know either. 🤣
Surprised it put the apostrophe in there and didn’t just give me “Dartanian.”
Although it did seem like two were coked up and one was drunk.
I swear the only saving grace of that movie is Tim Curry who knows full well he’s in a shit movie and decides to have fun with it anyway.
Everythings better with a bit of Curry.
