Most of us realize that Hollywood is run by beta cucks for beta cucks but might not have done the run down on every movie.
I used to love TPB when I was a kid, and even the last time I watched it in maybe late teens or early 20s. It was clever and exciting and the love story was enjoyable.
But now that I feel more and more black pilled I see it in a different light.
There's a hypergamy chain. Westley < Buttercup < Humperdink. Westley is literally subservient to Buttercup and her family. He is literally the embodiment of hypergamy. However Buttercup is beautiful so Chad Humperdink comes to take her away. They're very clever in preserving the narrative that love is more important than anything else because Buttercup only goes with Humperdink AFTER Westley is kidnapped, but the reason that the overall narrative works is because the beautiful girl is now with Chad and we don't like that.
Then Westley sets about becoming Chad himself, comes back, sweeps the princess (with her virginity intact of course) off of her feet.
It's an incel fantasy. Incel becomes Chad, gets Stacy from original Chad. It's just got a dress on it in the form of Buttercups chastity and Buttercups belief that Westley was dead.
It doesn't even make sense that Buttercup can't move on from Westley if she thought he was dead for 4 years. Like what an asshole if he were dead and wanted that. But the movie covers that too with the bullshit 'death can only delay true love' line.
I want to rewrite the Princess Bride. Here goes.
Westley is a farm boy. He is in love with the farmer's beautiful daughter.
Westley senses the differences in their social status so he never comes on to her so he keeps leaving little hints and acts shy and like her puppy when she's around hoping she will notice.
Buttercup notices, but pretends not to. She also has 4 or 5 other guys orbitting around and/or fucking her. She uses Westley when she needs something.
Humperdink shows up and starts taking Buttercup back to his castle overnight. Westley tells himself that what is happening isn't happening.
Westley goes on a boat ride and gets kidnapped by pirates.
Westley thinks about Buttercup everyday still and it encourages him to become proficient at all the skills of the people around him.
Westley actually becomes a bit of a badass. Westley starts fucking local port wenches. He rapes some woman during pillages. He fucks 13 year olds. He gets like 12 women pregnant and leaves.
Westley has forgotton all about Buttercup.
Buttercup, meanwhile, is enjoying being the highest lady in the land. Her sex life has petered out as she's disappointed that Humperdink talked a big game about invading Guilder but hasn't initiated plans yet, she's grown bored with him, she's complacent, and some of the castle guards are like 6'5'' and built.
10 years pass from Westley getting kidnapped to the present.
Westley returns to his homeland, but not on purpose, and not because he's remembered Buttercup. He just has something to smuggle or pillage in the area. The first thing he does when he gets into port is fuck some tavern wench whose name he never finds out.
Buttercup, meanwhile, has had three kids that servants take care of. She spends her time eating, sleeping, and socializing in the same way with the same people never ending except when there are some state affairs that she has some responsibility to be present for. She has some fuck boys on the side. Humperdink cheats on her regularly. She knows it and is bitter. He doesn't know that she cheats because she hides it well and he's arrogant and focused on other things.
Westley is in the marketplace and spots Buttercup from afar. Feelings that he hasn't felt in years spring up inside of him. He sees her and is transported back to a time when he had a special place in his heart reserved for her. He doesn't examine these feelings in comparison to what he's been up to for the last 10 years, he doesn't consider it, he's just taken by this strong human reaction and believes in it.
He follows and looks for an opening. When he sees one or creates one he slips in. He acts a little shy and puppy dog like as he'd learned to years before, a way he hasn't acted since he last saw her.
Buttercup doesn't recognize him. He tells her who he is. It takes her a second but then she remembers. She doesn't really care to see him, but she can tell he's taken the effort and defaults to a tactful line of conversation that is designed to give the other person a feeling that they reciprocated their interest before finding an escape with the least possible effort. Oh, how've you been, what are you up too, oh that sounds interesting, whelp, I've got somewhere to be so.....
Westley is looking at her face. He's still feeling what he felt, but the logical part of him that's currently subservient to the heart part of him is looking at her face and noting that she has a few more wrinkles, her skin looks older, her facial features aren't as sharp, her youthful glow is gone, but she's only in her late 20s or so, so she still looks mostly like she did.
Westley recognizes that she's going to go and just reflexively shouts out 'I'm a pirate'.
Buttercup feels skeptical, but she does notice he has some piercings/hairstyle/maybe a tattoo that are common among pirates. She turns back and either makes a joke to prod out more info 'oh, haha, sure you burn down a lot of villages, haha' or showcases skepticism 'oh really...' to get more info.
Westley starts to regale her with tales of his doings. He starts out tame, smuggling, or acceptable to society, fighting other pirates, but notices that Buttercup is totally enthralled, completely different from before. He goes deeper and deeper. He tells her of raiding merchant ships, then of towns, innocent men he's killed. Buttercup says something like, "I can't imagine you doing that! I always hear pirates do things like rape etc." And so Westley tells her about a 13 year old girl he'd raped on a raid on a fishing village. He tells her how much that girl had bled. He tells her that he'd gotten distracted and she'd pushed him and he'd stubbed his toe on a rock. He'd gotten furious and beat her to death with the rock.
Buttercup has now decided that she's going to fuck Westley. She takes him back to a place where she can make this happen. She pours some wine so she can tell herself that what they're doing is more than fucking. Then they fuck.
Westley ejaculates. Westley looks at Buttercup in the aftermath. She really does look older. She may have better face and form than that tavern wench he'd fucked earlier, but that wench had, had a more youthful glow and her titties were perkier. Buttercups titties had noticeable sag to them. Westley gets up to leave.
Westley doesn't really remember that night to well over the years. He does sometimes think back to the girl he'd been in love with when he was a farm boy. Not often, he's a busy man and he's satisfied otherwise so he has little reason to remember that other than the fact that it's the only memory that can give him a special intense longing and remorse that he can't feel elsewhere.He dies around late 40s/early 50s to mutiny/other pirates/some mishap.
Buttercup gets older. Her vices grow as she gets older. She becomes bitter at her life, but compensates by clinging to her position of authority more strongly and becomes feared and hated as she becomes an older and older crone. Humperdink dies and she's regulated to some back castle quarters. Her children almost never visit. She dies.
