Adaptational Villainy
 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_20f689e9
comment
Rochefort almost always remains a villain in adaptations of the first novel and gets killed by either D'Artagnan or another Musketeer in a Duel to the Death in them. He actually dies in the second novel, Twenty Years After, killed by mistake by D'Artagnan (who doesn't know it's him until it's too late) during a Fronde riot.

 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: The Musketeers' servants (Planchet, Grimaud, Mousqueton and Bazin) very often get the short hand of the stick when it comes to appear in the films or other media. Planchet is D'Artagnan's servant so he's always the most likely to be kept in. People who have only watched the films are likely to never have heard of Madame de Chevreuse.

Adaptational Heroism
 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: The books never shy away from showing that D'artagnan and his three friends, while undeniably brave and loyal, are rather amoral; they'll lie, cheat, steal, blackmail, commit adultery, take advantage of people, sleep around and kill with very little provocation. Adaptations, almost without fail, tone down or even remove their worst behavior and generally make them more straight-up heroic.

Death by Adaptation: Rochefort is usually killed in a climatic duel with d'Artagnan in adaptations of the first book. In the book proper, he gets to live, and winds up friends with d'Artagnan. He dies in the sequel, Twenty Years After.

Self-Disposing Villain: In the 1935 film version, Milady De Winter throws herself off a cliff to her death when her plans are foiled, saving the heroes from being responsible for the death of a woman.

Rochefort's promotion to The Dragon, where in the books, Milady filled the role. It is hard to find a film version in which Rochefort doesn't get killed by d'Artagnan in a climactic fight, rather than by accident during a riot in the second novel. In the novels, D'Artagnan and Rochefort became friends after dueling each other. He also has no eyepatch in the books either, that trend started with Christopher Lee in the 1970s version.

Most movie adaptations make Richelieu the iconic villain and antagonist of the heroes, despite his ambivalent position in the first book and total absence in all following books (he died in the Time Skip between the first and second book, Mazarin replaced him). Athos and d'Artagnan even ponder if they were wrong in opposing Richelieu a few times.

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul
 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_72ce3f54
comment
Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the book, D'Artagnan is attracted to Constance, the wife of his landlord Bonacieux. Several adaptations reduced or removed Constance's relationship to Bonacieux so that she can be a straightforward Love Interest and not a Sympathetic Adulterer: In the 1935 US film, she's Mr. Bonacieux's ward. In the 1953 French film, she's Mr. Bonacieux's niece. Mr. Bonacieux is outright removed in the 2023 French films, making Constance a single woman.

Man in the Iron Mask
 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_7a6fc5ab
comment
The Vicomte of Bragelonne (1847-1850) — Pretty much all of its adaptations only retain the Man in the Iron Mask subplot (for the likely reason that the novel alone is composed of either three door stoppers or a massive omnibus — in short, it would give the whole saga of The Lord of the Rings a run for its money) and use either The Man in the Iron Mask or simply The Iron Mask as title.

Spin-Offspring
 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_94b81c55
comment
Spin-Offspring: Some original stories give children (who are nowhere to be seen in the Dumas canon) to D'Artagnan and/or the other musketeers. At Sword's Point features the sons of the Musketeers - and gives a daughter to Athos, named Claire and played by Maureen O'Hara. Revenge of the Musketeers (1994) gives a daughter to D'Artagnan, Éloïse (played by Sophie Marceau). Her Missing Mom is named "Constance", heavily implying it's Constance Bonacieux. La Femme Musketeer (2004) gives D'Artagnan a daughter named Valentine (played by Susie Amy). Michael York reprises his role as D'Artagnan though it is unconnected to his previous films in the role.

Demoted to Extra: Planchet (D'Artagnan's sidekick) gets very little focus in many adaptations, when he's not simply Adapted Out. The other servants (Grimaud, Mousqueton and Bazin) are all too often much less lucky and don't appear at all in most adaptations.

Dies Differently in Adaptation
 The Three Musketeers (Franchise) / int_c181a846
comment
Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the 1935 film, Milady De Winter disposes of herself to save the heroes having to kill a woman. In the 1993 version she does this for Better to Die than Be Killed reasons; she chooses to jump off a cliff rather than be beheaded. Rochefort almost always remains a villain in adaptations of the first novel and gets killed by either D'Artagnan or another Musketeer in a Duel to the Death in them. He actually dies in the second novel, Twenty Years After, killed by mistake by D'Artagnan (who doesn't know it's him until it's too late) during a Fronde riot.

comment
Historical Villain Upgrade: Several adaptations make the Cardinal Richelieu a self-serving monster who is sometimes even trying to usurp the throne, in stark contrast to his depiction in the original novel, let alone Real Life. He was indeed ruthless (especially against cities with huge Protestant populations that contested some French royal policies), but he definitely served King Louis XIII. The same can be said for Richelieu's successor Mazarin for some adaptations of the sequels to the first novel. He's been portrayed quite a couple of times as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute to Richelieu with about as much Adaptational Villainy.
