So, I Watched "The Man In The Iron Mask". And I Liked It. I Was Invested As Soon As I Saw Leo! So, Here

So, I watched "The Man In The Iron Mask". And I liked it. I was invested as soon as I saw Leo! So, here are some of my thoughts and things I like/dislike about it.

- Philippe was so sweet! Freaking loved him Those parts where he stares at the moon were just.... 😭. Him and Athos practicing etiquette was nice. I wish the montage was longer and really showed their father-son bond.

-I was rooting for Raoul even when I realized he wasn't going to make it! I felt bad for Christine. I wish she found out about Philippe. Like, when I watched the trailer, I assumed the switcheroo would happen and Philippe would also end up liking Christine.

-Bruh, Louis was awful (Good job Leo!). When he told Christine she was going to hell, I was like 'damn, Louis savage.' Matter of fact, his whole thing with Christine was messed up. I was here for the switcheroo plot!

-I liked Queen Anne well enough. She didn't get a lot of screen time but, I thought her interaction with Philippe was so nice b/c you know she knows who he is. Someone mentioned her and D'artagnan having an affair, and rethinking helped me see it. Like, I liked their love story just fine. It adds an extra layer of drama.

-I loved when a heartbroken and pissed Athos shows up at the castle, ready and willing to cut b*tches down.

-I thought D'artagnan was interesting. His whole thing with Queen Anne was sweet with implied drama. I mostly liked how his morals are conflicted b/c he's aware that Louis isn't such a great king, but he swore allegiance to the crown.

-I loved the masquerade ball scene.

-The backhand from Louis to Philippe was entertaining and immaculate! (Stop hitting yourself Leo😆)

-The All For One, One For All gunfire charge was ✨perfection ✨.

-Louis getting throat punched was hilarious.

-The opening narration was great. And, I want to learn it

-I kinda wish they did more flashbacks. Like when Philippe talks about being arrested or when the King dies and mentions Philippe, I wish there was a flashback or soundbites to show memories/nightmares/frantic thoughts.
