like nah i'm not doing this yeah i it's weird because i was kind of drawn to the like there's different versions of these things like i loved greek myth i feel like every kid went through a greek mythology yeah i tried and then was confronted with that i was like no yeah i i took a norse mythology course in college and that was it's hard to study because it's just like everyone's ideas of who these people are so different by the way any dnd listeners out there i didn't know this until literally we were preparing to watch this movie wrestle based the villain in our that's our dnd uh podcast that we're on uh there they are there morgan morgan yeah based on molly mcfay yeah i had no fucking idea i don't know why like never i just never made the connection before i was like wait a witchy sister who pops up from time to time yeah that's where he was drawn from yeah confirmed yes so does gawain become king in i don't know like i don't again like i really don't know a ton about arthurian legend like i really don't i honestly don't think i could answer that for you um even in this essay i read they didn't elaborate on that so i don't know but he is in line and he's basically the most important like male relative of arthur and because like he's because he's really important like succession-wise and also because he's not technically a prince he is a weird character because he kind of has this freedom to just do like whatever because he has both the like the power like the prestige and also has like no ties to like being responsible for anything because he's technically not like direct heir to the throne um so he's kind of this weird thing for authors to play with because he can just be he can do whatever like this this essay calls him and arthurian every man which is kind of interesting so he's like kind of a draw for a lot of writers apparently and i think what the movie does really well is establish that trait and situation that gawain is in within the first five ten minutes i mean we get to the inciting incident pretty quickly in this the whole uh christmas game with the green knight yeah but prior to that we just get like a couple of scenes with gawain and it immediately establishes so good yeah that he's like kind of a fuck off like a layabout yeah just gets drunk sleeps in uh has a a lover named essel who's like clearly a commoner yeah she's not like like she's wearing like rags and stuff uh and like his mom is like oh you should do something with yourself something you know yeah get a sense of who he is he's like he's not a knight in this version which is interesting and the story i read he already was a knight of the round table he's not a knight yeah he's young he's kind of he just kind of fucks
