Hey. I shall thank you for the Elaine appearances, since I have only watched the Knights of the Round Table (1953) and I loved her so much! May I request Galahad appearing in TV or movies? He is an important character in Arthuriana as far as I know and I am doing a research on the Legends... And you must be the most reliable source ❤️
you're welcome! agreed, she's really adorable in that film. i don't know that i'm the most reliable source, but you're kind to say it! :^)
so galahad...he's a weird one. the character does appear, but rarely does anything of consequence. which is hysterical considering he's a dedicated character that exists for literally one very serious purpose? oddly enough, he's usually either a baby/child who cameos and never appears again or he's an adult we see in passing just chillin (good for him). adaptations that include a greater focus on the grail quest tend to utilize perceval instead (perceval (1978), excalibur (1981), kaamelott (2005–2009), bbc merlin (2008–2011), etc.) with the exception of monty python (1975). but! galahad and lancelot aren't father and son? which is a reoccurring problem in king arthur (2004) and again in wizards tales of arcadia (2020)! what do you mean they're just coworkers? why? their strained relationship acts as a major conflict in the medieval text! respect, but wild narrative choices all around. the only adaptation that tackled galahad's character from conception to death was bbc the legend of king arthur (1979). bless. anyway here's the lad himself...
