      And yet, at the same time, the women are the most vital axes around which all the most central stories turn. You cannot have Uther without Igrain; you cannot have Arthur and Lancelot without Morgana and Guinevere; you cannot have Merlin without Nimue.

      Every Arthurian adaptation fails because it neglects to interrogate the stories the men tell about themselves through the lens of the women - and the reason adaptations shrink from doing this? Is because, if you center the women, the claim to chivalry no longer holds water.

      It's so much easier, isn't it, to paint Morgan le Fey as a scheming temptress than as a powerful, angry, hurting antihero whose mother was deceived and raped and denied justice; to see her trickery of Arthur as a purposeful mirror held up to Uther's actions.

      It's so much easier to see Guinevere as a faithless adulteress than to examine the ingrained misogyny that forbade her from choosing her husband in the first place, because you can't make Arthur the king of a golden age while admitting he was purposefully sexist.

      It's so much easier to write Nimue as a jealous, treacherous student who used her wiles against Merlin than to engage with their differences in age and power, Merlin's facilitation of the rape of Igrain; to grapple with a society that feared female power & denied them teaching.

      The 1998 TV adaptation is far from perfect, but it's the most compelling Arthurian version around precisely because it tries, so hard, to care about the women and to examine how their treatment doesn't fit with the narrative of a perfect golden age.

      And this is why Zack Snyder's version will be garbage: he does not write women. He very, very aggressively writes Male Stories: any Snyder-esque take on Arthur is doomed to failure before it starts, because I can already see him picturing Morgan le Fay in a sexy backless dress.

      You DO realize that women have different facets that allow them to be nurturing AND aggressive right?

      He super can’t. He’s mediocre with dudes and terrible with women.

          Based on this comment, you either haven't seen any of Zack Snyder's films or you watched them but didn't pay attention to them & fundamentally misinterpreted them as what you described, even though they're the polar opposite. So which is it?

          This news just in: it’s possible for different people to watch a thing and have radically different interpretations without either of them missing the point! That you feel the need to aggressively defend one of the world’s most famous directors says more about you than me.
