Many fantasy fans would take even a subpar adaptation over no adaptation at all, but there are limits to what we will accept. A Daily Wire interpretation of Arthurian legend promises to test that boundary to its breaking point, as it strives to adapt The Pendragon Cycle into a full-blown franchise.
Thankfully, there’s plenty of actual good fantasy to fall back on, as fans of the genre watch the assassination of King Arthur roll out in real time.

He’s asking fans to sit through a film more than three hours in length, with no intermission, and the hordes of Avatar fans will no doubt comply. It’s only a half hour or so longer than the first, after all.

A teaser for the upcoming season fittingly asserts that “the only certainties in life are love, death, and axes.”
