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.

Guinevere will be hot & scheming and maybe, just for a tiny pinch of variety, sad. There will be naked fucking that Arthur walks in on, and all the angst about the betrayal will focus on Lancelot's manpain, not Guinevere's autonomy. Igrain and Nimue likely won't be there at all.

Anyway: Hollywood hire me to write a script/treatment of a queer feminist Arthurian story where the women have agency and the golden age is a myth; where the canonically Black knights show up (they exist!) and Galahad has a boyfriend, as he deserves.

You do know that Arthurian stories are public domain and you can be writing this if you really wanted to, and it can co-exist with other filmmaker’s interpretations at the same time, right? Nobody is stopping you from writing this script right now.

But instead you’re spending your time on the internet spewing hate at another artist. For what?

It’s almost like criticism is a valid form of artistic engagement

What “art” are you engaging with? An idea or concept that’s in an early stage of development in somebody’s head? We literally know NOTHING about this project that might not even come into fruition lol. You literally wrote an entire critique on something that doesn’t exist lol

Seriously, you seem very passionate about your storytelling. You could be spending your energy on bringing that into the world instead of projecting so much on someone else

Dude. I’m a published author. I’ve won several awards. I’m also a critic, and part of criticism is engaging with public discourse. If Snyder’s Arthurian film idea is ready enough to merit journalistic attention, it’s fair game for critical discussion.

I already made up my mind that whatever you write is seriously gonna suck though, and no one in Hollywood would ever even consider putting it on screen... cause that’s how criticism works, “as a form of artistic engagement,” right?

Yeah, actually. And just like Snyder doesn’t have to care about my opinion, I don’t have to care about yours.

True. You obviously have a giant ego problem. Good luck!
