Vizzinis logic was sound if the man in black hadn't cheated he would have won

>goes up against Sicilian with desth on the line
>wins without trying

It seems his logic wasn't so great

>UNBELIEVABLE
What did he mean by this?

>unbelievable

he couldn't believe it was happening. it was something he could not even fathom in his mind.

Vizzinis is legitimately very smart and clever. He was the mastermind of the group for a reason. A lot of movies have the "smart" villain die in a way that delegitimizes their cleverness but Vizzinis proved he was clever despite the goofy bragging. Great character, great movie.

>Westley says inhale but do not touch
>inhales
>later see Humperdink wafting it under his nose without inhaling
>"both glasses were poisoned" line was added there because they thought people wouldn't pick up on this
just my head canon, Vizzini was dead before the wine was even poured and Westley was just waiting for him to keel over.

>Vizzinis logic was sound
He didn't see the big picture and ignored some crucial details. He totally forgot that in addition to beating Fezzik and Inigo, he's just seen the man in black penetrate the conspiracy, chase them over open water, and then catch himself like a spider on the cliff wall.
Westley was the "type of man" who would never offer a challenge he had any chance of losing.

I always thought this because after Vizzini inhales, Westley says "it's odorless." If it's odorless, what's all the sniffing about?

Vezzini=DCucks
Westley=MarvelCucks
Wine=Capeshit

explain him bluffing his way out of a fight with humperdink

Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

His body was worthless and he was finally stripped of all physical resources. (Buttercup being useless in the fire swamp was important setup) That scene, he was forced to take the biggest chance, using only his mind and facing a legitimately evil person. However, in each of the previous battles, Westley was technically at the mercy of his opponent. Inigo after his oath, Fezzik at the ambush, and Vizzini could have easily slit Buttercup's throat. In each case, Westley guides the enemy into a situation where Westley has the advantage, and the bluff is no different, although riskier. The real question is, what was Westley's plan when they got captured outside the fire swamp? IMO they wouldn't have shot Buttercup.

...

I didn't say Westley never puts himself in danger.
>Westley was the "type of man" who would never offer a challenge he had any chance of losing.
Vizzini gave him the luxury of choosing his own test.

>being this new

my favorite scene from Men In Tights

my favorite scene is when the sword guy says.
"Hello, my name is Roy Walker, I'm going to hear you confess before you die. You raped my sister, you murdered her, you killed her children. Say it now and we can make this quick."

I read a lot, y'know... and I read that Sicilians were spawned by niggas

I will always associate Sicilians with this

There was no poison. Westley was going to stab him while he was distracted but he died of laughter first.

He thought he was in charge.

He didn't cheat.

Vizzini simply hadn't considered the possibility of acquired immunity to the poison. If he had, he'd have realized that both cups were poisoned.

it really was a battle of wits
