That's a hell of a medieval soap opera you just explained

Strange women lying in ponds dispensing out swords is hardly a basis for a system of government

Arthur: “We, the Knights of the Round Table, devoted to Our Lord and Christian Duty in our Search for the Holy Grail...”
Merlin: “My King, looks like a boy born tomorrow will be your undoing!”
Arthur: “Okay, let’s do a Herod.”

"Arthur is fooled by Guinevere's identical evil sister." That might as well happen, I guess.

"On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place."

I love how the narrator's tone is borderline incredulous like he can't believe what he's reading either, especially when he talks about sir gallahad lol

"In a land of myth, and a time of magic… the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young boy. His name… Merlin."

Love that you used pics from the BBC’s Merlin at some points

maybe if the knights would allow themselves to be tempted by these women, their swords wouldnt keep getting stuck in stones

Did anyone notice Arthur just ordered deaths of children born on certain date & Mordred is called the villain in this story 😂

King Arthur, possibly the best known fanfiction in the world

Let’s not forget that Hellboy is a descendent of Arthur, and rightful King of England through his mother by Mordred’s line

How about the Baggins family tree?

Bro this is actually so helpful. Trying to wrap your head around Arthurian legend is like trying to jump into the deep end when you know you can't swim

TH White's "the Once and Future King" is my favorite rendition of this story. The characters become incredibly human despite the fairytale quality to all the stories.

I thought we were an autonomous collective...

In the TV version of "Merlin" Morgan Le Fay, who is played by actress, Katie McGratch who does a fantastic job of it! Ms. McGrath later does on to portray Leena Luthor in CW's "Supergirl" and she does a fantastic job of that too!

The bit about pulling swords from stones may date from the Bronze Age. Swords at that time were cast from carved stone molds, and working with metal was seen as something magical.

"Listen: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!  Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some... farcical aquatic ceremony!"

Last time I was this early, the sword was still stuck in the Stone
