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.
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.

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.
I fixed it for you since this didn't have the real Porthos:
that's clearly Dogtanian
Arfamis.
Was missing something.
I told you to stop feeding him cheese, captain.

THERE ARE FOUR KNIGHTS!

Where are their muskets?
Throur
Four knights
Four Knights at Freddy's
THERE ARE FOUR L… oh forget it.
Star trek got this from 1984
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.
Naming it the Four Musketeers would have been a huge spoiler.
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...
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.
No, because D'Artagnan wasn't a member of the Musketeers.
He becomes one by the end of the book. And spends the next two books as a member.
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.
