Republican Senator Ted Cruz and actor Cary Elwes are in the middle of some Princess Bride themed Twitter beef and fans are watching the whole thing go down.

Senator Cruz is a self-professed superfan of Princess Bride, often quoting lines from the movie which he believes is "perfect." At least Cruz used to believe the film was perfect.

He's had some issues with the cast lately that may have changed things.

Cruz expressed complete dismay when the cast reunited in support of Democratic candidates. He wasn't thrilled when Cary Elwes diplomatically called himself a "non-fan" of Cruz.

The initial, now famous, "non-fan" jab is nothing compared to this most recent volley.

Things started when Cruz went on his podcast and declared that the real "villains" in movies like Avengers: Endgame and The Watchmen are environmentalists and that the left views people as a disease. Cruz then called Rorschach one of his favorite superheroes.

The character Rorscach is an anti-hero who is described as "a violent and ruthless vigilante driven by moral absolutism."

It didn't go over well.

One of the Watchmen writers tweeted at Cruz to inform him he got his analysis way wrong. Twitter users, media professionals and fans all spoke up to point out just how off base Cruz was.

Cary Elwes, evidently exhausted with Cruz's inability to critically watch and comprehend media, tweeted about it.

That tweet prompted this response from Cruz

Eagle-eyed users might note that something seems "off" about that image, but if you couldn't figure out what it was then please allow Cary Elwes himself to solve the mystery for you.

The picture Cruz posted appears to be a framed picture of a toy, not the actual actor.

And the message and signature do not match.

Twitter showed up like...

Giphy

...and...

We don't know if Cruz knew he had a fake signature on a picture of a fake likeness of Elwes before he tried to Twitter flex...

Giphy

...but he and the rest of the internet certainly know now.

Oh, Ted...

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

MTG Just Admitted The Awkward Truth About The Republican Healthcare Plan On 'The View'

Speaking on The View, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke about sparring with House Speaker Mike Johnson over healthcare—and revealed that the GOP does not have any replacement for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) despite what Johnson and her fellow congressional conservatives tell the public.

Democrats have continued to reject Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open without considering an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
