THERE'S PUNCTUATION IN IT.

I chose Porthos, based on watching Star Trek Enterprise.

I was a (young) teen when the Chris O'Donnell-as-D'Artagnan version came out, and he was, of course, my favorite. that hasn't much changed. Also, his name is abulous.

I really should read the book...

Fun fact: Porthos is the name of Captain Archer's dog in Enterprise. Therefore, he will always be my favorite.

I couldn't even tell you any of their names aside from D'Artagnan, and I think that's mostly to do with The Man in the Iron Mask which isn't even really a movie about them. So there you go.

I've read the book, but my opinion in this matter -- which has proved absurdly deep and lasting -- was formed by the 1973 movie in which D'Artagnan was played by Michael York, whom I Did Not Love, while Aramis was played by the swoooooon-inducing Richard Chamberlain omg. These impressions were so strong, I don't even remember who played Athos and Porthos. *g*

I wonder what it would be like to watch one of the movies (or read the book) now that I have slash glasses. *ponders*

I AM INCREDIBLY DISTRESSED THAT I CAN'T CHOOSE MILADY AS MY FAVORITE

EVEN THOUGH SHE IS NOT A MUSKETEER

WHATEVER

Aramis. All three reasons. But mostly because he ended up so sleazy in The Man in the Iron Mask, but his friends still loved him anyway. :P (Who doesn't like the dashing man who wants to be a priest?)

Incidentally, I saw this animated series with The Three Musketeers, and they made Aramis a girl.

My answers were not on the poll! I prefer them as a delicious combination, and I base my opinion on chocolate. :D

Aramis is such a good name. If I didn't think he'd get beaten up in school, my hypothetical son would be named Aramis. I mean, come on! ARAMIS.

I need to read the book so bad but I keep getting distracted by other books! BOO!

Athos is my favourite in the book.

In the movies it depends on the adaption and the actor playing the characters.

My favourite name is Aramis.

Surfed over here from momebie's journal! My opinion is actually based on none of those choices, it's based on having seen the stage musical XD (though I plan to read the book one day as well!)

I should clarify: Porthos is my favorite because Scott Bakula's Beagle in Enterprise was named after him. :D

My answer isn't because of any of those reasons - I like Aramis the best because of a cartoon version I watched when I was younger that had Aramis turn out to be a girl XD

D'Artagan was my favorite when I first read the books, but I've come to realize he was something of a douchebag. Porthos actually had fun, so.

I'm planning on rereading the book so my opinion will now change a dozen times, probably. The correct answer is M'Lady deWinter anyway

As a teenager, Athos was always my favorite because he was the author's favorite and/or D'Artagnan's favorite. However, these days, when I look at Athos, I see at bet a tragically misguided man doomed by his upbringing to do a horrible thing to the woman he loved and to hate her for something that wasn't even her fault, without even bothering to find out what it was that happened. She was the perfect woman and the perfect wife, but she was branded like a common prostitute or thief, and that erased her as a person (one has to wonder if she ever was a person to him) and made her into some hateful caricature. In his mind, simply having been with her forever tainted him no matter what he did afterward. In the end, Athos is the iknd of person who puts an ideal over the happiness of real people. In our day, Athos is the fundie father who casts out his gay son because homosexuality is a sin, and the muslim father who stones his own daughter for premarital sex.

Aramis, on the other hand, never put himself as a judge over the woman he loved. She did whatever the hell she wanted and he simply accepted her as she was and loved her, blindly and faithfully, and would have done anything for her, no matter what.
