Yes, the movie is wonderful and a classic but it is such a different beast than the book, which is a satire and has all these feelings about abridgement. I also want Buttercup to do more. I think a remake that could bring in some of the meta aspects of the book and shows how narratives are crafted. I haven't seen Galavant but from tumblr gifsets, I think that might have had the sensibility I'd be looking for; a winking to the audience in the mood of Mel Brooks, not in the mood of "mocking the audience", but in the mood of "we're all in on the joke together".
