I don't exactly pay much attention to modern media these days so I'm not the best canary in the coalmine for this and the only time I've seen this movie even mentioned was your post 4 days ago about it.
The casting doesn't surprise me though. Not only is anything "British" now washed in such a way to reflect the population dynamics of London, with or without the stabbings since Arthur stories do feature swords, but in general cast lists are simply check boxes for modern "diversity" where any authenticity is ignored when historically those involved were all pale as fuck.
I don't know what, if anything, the original author had to say about it. I'm kinda afraid to check.
I distinctively remember when I once came to visit The Daily Stormer a number of years ago, I think when it was being banned everywhere like the Kiwi Farms more recently and just to see what it was all about, I've seen a post about how The Game of Thrones was "the last white fantasy" (something like that) on their front page or however it worked. Years later I tried to find it to see what it was actually about because it felt retrospectively eerily so prophetic, but it seems these literal Nazi Jews running The Other TDS apparently took it down for some reason. Or maybe I just dreamed it.
Despite the diversity, I actually really enjoyed King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, though. I like Guy Ritchie, I thought the movie did a lot right, and this song is awesome. But, yeah, it was just a tad heavy on the diversity.
My opinion as a scholar and a gentlemxn: total shit movie, especially the story being just absolute fucking nonsense, 1 (one) good scene (forest ride with music).
Hack Snyder (zero respect for him anymore after his recent-ish zombie movie that felt like a movie by Uwe Boll with a decent budget) is supposed to make a King Arthur movie set in the American West or something other stupid like that (unrelated to RDR2, which was decent because it was never advertised as such).
Thinking of his fall randomly reminded me of Brian De Palma and his Redacted, which seriously might've been just the worst film I've ever seen in full (and I've been watching horrible movies on purpose, like a lot movies attributed to Godfrey Ho). It's just unbelievably bad while directed AND written by once one of the world's top directors.
Yeah I didn't expect to like it but I thought it was decent. The casting was typical Hollywood bullshit but otherwise there wasn't any woke shit that I can remember.

I saw quite some of his older movies and really liked them, it's just that this one was idiotic.

To care would imply I cared about the this "The Winter King" thing in the first place.
It's a damn good book. Really popular too.

I don't care either. I'm done consooming. Plenty of old things to watch and play.
