Maybe she was an orphan? Was that the story?
Oh well. We can declare Inigo-Montoya a heroic father like figure, who seems to try to come along and “rescue” Buttercup when she gets into trouble periodically .
It’s sad though. In the bizarro version of the story that has somehow become tied to this COTH thread, Wesley never showed up for Buttercup. She’s been stuck with Humperdinck for YEARS. And he hasn’t even married her! And the Prince thing is just a title… he doesn’t even have any MONEY! At least he does laundry and grooms horses though.
ETA: Nevermind. Inigo in the original was supposed to kidnap Buttercup, then helped rescue Westley, who was trying to rescue Buttercup. I’m clearly super confused by all of this. I only watched the movie a few times.
