So this is Merlin in the adaptation of The Winter King (Guinevere is some kind of a mulatto, I just stopped checking further) (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

I talked how I had zero expectations, not least because the director is the one behind that Antifa Robin Hood movie and the Halo TV travesty, but I still feel angry. In the book series (from only the 1990s), Sagramor is an extremely rare black person in all Britannia and beyond (Armorica) and everyone is freaked out when first seeing him, so much that the Saxons believe him a demon from their underworld (https://books.google.com/books?id=0CsNyIl7DlgC&pg=PT181). It's very historically grounded despite magic (which may or may not be real, not least because of an unreliable narrator). But lol no, "updated for modern audiences to reflect the world we live in", too, of course. Fuck you.

Let's not forget the Green Knight movie with Pajeet Patel in the lead.

The only silver lining is that these movies tend to bomb financially, which presumably means a lot of normies out there are just as sick of this shit as we are.

Let's not forget the mulatto Guinevere and the black Elian the White (lolz) in the BBC Merlin, just EVERYONE Arthurian being black in Once Upon a Time, blacks everywhere in Guy Ritchie's stupid King Arthur movie (that I also stupidly went to see in a theater without watching any trailer not reading anything beforehand), the black-mulatto Arthur himself (and his half-sister born to another black woman, their father being white) in Netflix's Cursed, and so on, and so forth.

While they never even use any of the actual exotic knights of Arthur, some (at least 2) of whom are canonically half-black while several others are ambiguously Saracen and pagan (probably Arabic and Muslim, maybe Jewish). They just always ignore them because their names aren't the few household ones. Such as,

Sir Palamedes (var. Palomedes, Palomides, Palamede, and Palomydes) is a minor figure within the literary Arthurian tradition. He is a Saracen knight of the Round Table; unbaptised and thus technically a pagan, but a true Christian at heart; a courtly lover who never achieves his desires; a figure of eternal chivalry in his pursuit of the Questing Beast. (...) Perhaps a portion of the fascination the Palamedes of the Prose Tristan has held for critics and writers is due to his narrative positioning as both outsider and insider who is nevertheless effectual. (...) Since he is aware of the near-impossibility of ever winning his beloved and yet continues to adore her despite her rejection of his love, Palamedes is arguably one of the few true courtly lovers in the Arthurian stories. In this sense, his love for her is the pure embodiment of the courtly ideal. (...) The history of the literary Palomedes is long and varied, stretching from the 13th century to the present day. With the resurgence of academic and popular interest in the troubled hero, Palomedes' own popularity has begun to increase. There are many new novels, plays, and poems featuring the character; each presents a different aspect of the tradition, permitting Palomedes to change and adapt to the needs and demands of different audiences in different times.

Not movies and no television lol

Btw Chretien de Troyes might have been a converted Jew who created the Holy Grail motif as a symbol for the need to convert the other Jews to Christianity (https://www.jstor.org/stable/460649).

Did the BBC's show where they cast the Queen of England as the darkest coal black Heart of Darkness style black woman they could find ever come out?
