Talk:List of works based on Arthurian legends

message: "[Bradshaw's Down the Long wind trilogy] is an extremely inventive reinterpretation of the legend." It is really, really good (it was me who originally wrote the article about Bradshaw), but "extremely inventive" fails to be objective. What the trilogy does is it take the Arthurian legend and tries to strip it back to its Celtic roots, by removing anachronisms. I'm not sure how the entry should be re-worded, but the current wording is definitely unacceptable. --Peter Knutsen 09:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extremely Inventive? 

message: I would like to suggest the addition of Courtway Jones version.  
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/480047.In_the_Shadow_of_the_Oak_King, There is something about the way these novels spoke to me when I read them years ago.  I just thought it worth mentioning that Courtway (although not still in print) needed to be on this list.

thread_title: Missing Author?

message: I know that the article is intended as an exhaustive list of Arthurian adaptations, but it gives no indications of which are the successful or influential ones: for starters, a good list would probably be Malory, Idylls of the King, Twain's satire, and White's ONCE AND FUTURE KING.

replies: text: I don't know if we can give a list of the most successful and influential ones. Who's to judge? And some are more influential in other languages than in English. Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin Historia introduced Arthur to the outside world, while in French the Tristan poems of Beroul and Thomas of Britain were the earliest versions of what became an incredibly popular story, and the Lancelot-Grail Cycle served as the basis for all later cyclical versions (and some that are independant). Even in English, some works, like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, were not terribly influential at the time they were written, but have come to be regarded as classics. Others, like The Fairie Queene, were very successful and influential, but not particularly influential on later Arthurian works.--Cúchullain t/c 06:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comparisons 

message: Some years ago, PBS's Once Upon a Classic series aired a British TV series regarding King Arthur. I don't know if it's on this page in some other context or not. John Carter 22:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "Final Fantasy VII the final and greatest summon materia is "Knights of the Round" which has 12 knights striking an enemy with the last knight obviously being King Arthur through his extended entrance and grander appearance."
I read that this was Mordred once on the Final Fantasy Compendium forums. Can we be sure it's really Arthur? 66.63.86.156 18:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Arthur-and-the-Square-Knights.jpg

message: * The webcomic xkcd has a present-day Merlin's perspective on the film Memento in Merlin on Memento
I was at a loss of how to include this. It is essentially a One-shot_(comics) which includes the character of Merlin.
As it has been edited out,  twice :-), as "not an adaptation", I figured the answer was it truly didn't belong here.
After refreshing my memory that the traveling backwards in time concept was from the The_Once_and_Future_King#Other_references_to_The_Once_and_Future_King, I realized it probably belongs there :-).--Lent (talk) 20:09, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comics 

message: reverted two edits after my suggestion that an edit of mine he reverted was just as important to the list as two others. He took that to mean those should be removed too. My opinion is that an individual episode or group of episodes is a "work" and should find a place in this list. I later found information similar to mine, so mine was duplication of information already here. Once Upon a Time is being counted as a work, even though only a few episodes of the series are "based on Arthurian legends". At this point we don't know how many episodes, but in the fifth season, pretty much the entire second and third episodes and a lot of the first have been about Camelot. And the fourth episode will certainly be the same, and who knows how many more.— Vchimpanzee •  talk • contributions •  18:53, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episodes of TV series 

message: The Modern literature section is far too long for a section with a more in-depth bibliography link. There are far too many works of questionable enduring notability. In my opinion, only the most notable works need be listed in this abbreviate form of the bibliography. — ★Parsa ☞ talk 16:42, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too lengthy Modern literature section 

message: As has been suggested, it seems that this page has much in common with List of media based on Arthurian legends. It seems prudent to combine these pages unless there is any unforetold significant difference. MaddieKM (talk) 01:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

message: Perhaps a set of criteria for inclusion should be specified for this list, and clearly spelled out in the list's lede paragraph or in an Edit Notice. I would recommend:
