Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said “I want my father back, you son of a bitch”

A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless.” The Princess Bride’s revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there’s nothing that can save you.”

Inigo Montoya’s revenge arc is fucking perfection and nothing will ever change my mind.

I know that a lot of stories frame revenge as this horrible thing and claims that the hero will turn evil if they do it. But Princess Bride went “Nah he’s gonna stab that motherfucker and be better for it.”

the anti revenge plotline falls flat every time when you remember that by not getting revenge theyre just gonna kill more people. Inigo Montoya prevented many deaths by not sparring the six fingered man
