This is a bit too much story... --[[User:NeatNit|NeatNit]] ([[User talk:NeatNit|talk]]) 05:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC) | This is a bit too much story... --[[User:NeatNit|NeatNit]] ([[User talk:NeatNit|talk]]) 05:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC) | ||
:Not really: if you don't know ''The Princess Bride'' story, but want to understand this comic, it is the right amount of information.

: You mean there are people who read XKCD and ''dont'' know the story of ''The Princess Bride''?? But yeah, Westley has been a merciless murderer for the last few years, and they kind of gloss over it.

Another thing to keep in mind is that he was help captive for several years ("Good night, Westley. I'll probably kill you in the morning."). The movie indicates that this went on for a while, but doesn't indicate when exactly the original DPR retired, from what I recall. Hence this could be a case of reading too much into a detail of the film—though done for humorous effect, of course.

− | As someone who has never seen the movie nor read the book, I can concur that there is FAR too much movie explanation here. I used to confuse it with Princess Diaries and had no interest in rectifying this omission as I dismised it as girly movie fluff, no hurry. It was only when an episode of The Goldbergs clarified it for me that I discovered the confusion - and that there's some My Name Is/father killing line - as I know Princess Diaries is far too recent to be mentioned in The Goldbergs. I stopped reading at the line that offers a movie synopsis "here", and felt I understood the comic well enough, and in fact there was already too much about the movie by this point. Since I skipped the entire sections titled for (presumably) character names from Princess Bride, they are clearly not required in order to understand the comic. Call me NiceGuy1 :) [[Special:Contributions/108.162.218.166|108.162.218.166]] 04:09, 1 January 2016 | + | As someone who has never seen the movie nor read the book, I can concur that there is FAR too much movie explanation here.
