Adapting le Mort de Arthur is impossible, obviously you’re going to careen from scene to scene just to fit the key points. It’s got good acting, respect to the doomed heroism of the mythology, high effort costuming, decent respect to the chivalric mythos stuff. It’s a bit nonsense at times but idk if you’ve read the vulgate cycle but there is a lot of nonsense. I mean lancelot is just a french self insert to own the oafish brits and cuck arthur. It’s like wojack level silly.
