      <image:title>The Charisian - The most extraordinary and certainly niche film, ‘The Green Knight’ - Personally, I think it’s essential to respect everyone’s right to have an opinion. And a lot of people like Excalibur. I respect you are perfectly free to do so, though; this film is personally the prime example of why any King Arthur bio retelling requires at least four hours, if not more. Unfortunately, Excalibur is one such four-hour movie slaughtered into a two-hour runtime.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For more, I recommend checking out my prior review, which you can mosey on toward here.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Charisian - The most extraordinary and certainly niche film, ‘The Green Knight’ - So, uh, a little less shit, but I still can’t for the life of me finish it, is Cursed. I’m really trying to get through this, for Nimueh, for Morgan le Fay being a good guy(?), but I’m dying over here.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I think, though, it didn’t get a second season, so maybe I’ll never finish it and let it live on forever.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>The Charisian - The most extraordinary and certainly niche film, ‘The Green Knight’ - One I personally enjoy but not a favourite amongst the masses, Tristan &amp; Isolde is not necessarily the best adaptation — I mean, they don’t both die at the end, which is… a minor divergence. You know, them being inspo for Romeo and Juliet, the teen lust-driven affair that resulted in the deaths of six people. I’ll stick with the original pair, who didn’t quite have the same effect, thank you.</image:title>
      <image:caption>As well, they all pronounce Isolde correctly. So that’s nice.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3f89a15ec9f361e323b5b3/1630023696023-6MNFPMKI23VGLSLCMT4M/aeb2f7b59a9b294f086624a44031de9ad17046c555a1d2d8cbd0c3c6d8257606._RI_V_TTW_.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>The Charisian - The most extraordinary and certainly niche film, ‘The Green Knight’ - As far as strict King Arthur bios go, I would argue this is among the best. It didn’t try to yeet a gargantuan story into a smaller runtime, Lancelot isn’t an utterly incoherent coathanger, and Guinevere has agency. Not to mention, Hannibal Lector and Will Graham from another of the gayest shows on TV are both in it! And this is my conspiracy theory, but the armour Mads Mikkelsen wears as Tristan actually cameos in an episode of Hannibal. Perhaps they’re simply Hannibal and Will in prior lives and excuse me while I go write some Tristan/Galahad fanfic.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many dismiss King Arthur as a needlessly dark and gritty film, and I’m still mad that the theatrical edition is significantly better than the director’s cut and I DIDN’T KNOW until I stuck it on via Disney+ (it was literally laziness) and realised the scenes they cut out for the extended edition made the film more meaningful and — I still can’t get over this — made the leadup to the climax MORE STRUCTURALLY SOUND. This revelation will haunt me for the rest of my life. Admittedly, I should have checked sooner — the Donnie Darko director’s cut, case in point.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Charisian - The most extraordinary and certainly niche film, ‘The Green Knight’ - You know what’s better than trying to be as faithful as possible? Veering so far off the adaptation rails that separating source from content is the easiest fucking job in the world. I present to you one of the best adaptations for completely just doing its own thing: The Adventures of Merlin.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And being another of the gayest shows on TV. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it enough times it ends up on my tombstone, Merthur is the hill worth dying on. Shoutouts to the final episode for traumatising me for life, right beside The Song of Achilles, Death Note’s end, Mark and Lexie in Grey’s Anatomy, and Grave of the Fireflies. Season six? Please?</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’m Charis, a fantasy writer and poet-shaped human. Welcome to my blog! Here, I talk about films and books as I work on a fantasy adventure novel and live with both chronic illnesses and mental health. Occasionally, I talk about that, too. Feel free to stick around, and have yourself a fantastical day!</image:caption>
