    this is almost 10 years overdue but when they say "take him to Camelot" Camelot isn't the town its the name of the castle. In medieval times castles and the villages built under or around them were named separately. Sometimes they didn't have a nearby village and were entirely independent. The castle of Camelot is theorized to be based on Cadbury Castle which was also formerly known as Camalet. The nearest village to Camalet was Yeovill but it was miles away so the castle stood on it's own.

    • @loneronin6813
      @loneronin6813 2 роки тому +5

      When I was a kid I read Arthurian stories and for some reason back then I thought Camelot was a fictional version of part of England like a county or a fiefdom, something to that degree. I think they described Camelot as a portion of England when they stated that in England's time of need Arthur would return and rule the nation, leading it into an era of unparalleled glory once more. I don't recall if they specified the difference between Camelot and England as a whole or not. Sorry, my memory is abysmal.

    • @LordHayabusa85

      ​@@DoctorWhoKage That really depends on what you mean by "all monarchies." Monarchies have been around for a while and a lot of them actually accepted magic. It was probably only into AD, specifically when Christianity started intermixing within monarchies, that it bled into how certain monarchies chose to conduct themselves. By the time that King Arthur is estimated to have existed/take place, magic would have actually been quite accepted.
      As for witch-burnings, Lorax hits it on the head. It is a common misconception that burnings were a common way to kill witches. This isn't true at all. They were incredibly rare. People accused of witchcraft were killed in numerous ways. From what I can recall the more common method was usually hanging.
      So, it is perfectly sensible that Calvin has not been killed for "witchcraft." The things he's doing are just stupid and sometimes lacking in logic.

Wouldn’t it hurt for them to have her toss a few punches in. Or have her try to fight back? You can still have her kidnapped. But allow her to put up a fight before doing so.

    Hot British Sex. Hot Medieval Lesbianism. But aren't they sisters? I believe you have this confused for Game of Thrones.
    If I may say something that may come dangerously close to defending this film, from what I understand, it's supposed to be a very loose adaptation of Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". In that story, a time-traveler introduces nineteenth century technology and ingenuity to Early Medieval England. It doesn't go very well. Here, that becomes having a blacksmith make roller blades and a mountain bike and turning a CD player into a laser beam weapon.
    Also, the "great circle builders" is supposed to be a reference to the builders of Stonehenge. Interestingly enough, Stonehenge figures in Arthurian Mythology.

      @brianstraight9308 9 років тому +27

      Juxtavarious There's more danger to HIM in the past than the other way around. In the past without vaccines, medicines and eating food that's not been properly cooked or cared for to take care of food-borne illness people were more resilient to illness. Yes, there were still very nasty bugs and such, like the Plague, that'd wipe out populations but those were severe because they were the exception and not the rule. There's little he could bring back to them they wouldn't have a natural immunity for. Your immune system builds itself up from exposure and people back then were exposed to a LOT.
      The kid, however, grew up in a medically "clean" time. He has vaccines in him, he's been eating food that's been raised in environments to limit bacterial growth. That food has been kept in refrigeration to limit bacterial growth. Most of that food was then cooked to remove any bacteria. He's not had the same exposure to illness as the ancient counterparts so he's got a weaker comparative immune system.
      His entire life all he's drank is water that's been through a complicated process of purification with fluoride and other chemicals in it to make it safer to drink.
      People back then didn't drink pure, crystal-clear, water. The water they drank, when they drank it, was dirty. Remember the scene in "Back to the Future III" when Marty is in his great-grandfather's house and they serve him a glass of water and it looks like weak chocolate milk? That's because that water was recovered from a well and is filled with dirt. It's basically diluted mud.
      So our kid is in a time where water, the most basic and essential thing to human life, is risky for him to intake.
      There are diseases and stuff all around him that he's never been exposed to either practically or through vaccination. Stuff King Arthur and everyone else has been around their whole lives so they're immune to them, there bodies have learned to cope. He'd arrive there and pretty much instantly get a terribly bad cold or flu, worse than anything he or most of the people from his time has ever had and he'd die in a week after the local form of "medicine" drilled a hole in his skull so he could bleed-out the excess hot blood, under the assumption this would cure him of his ailment.

    • @maxayson9386
      @maxayson9386 7 років тому +2

      It was not Italian it was a mish mash of plate concepts poorly slapped together. "meant to block arrows not swords" bruh consider how dumb that statement is, armour tried to stop as much damage as possible while retaining mobility constantly catching up to weapon advances, but some things would overcome it, if a breastplate could stop a warbow (which evidence suggests a high class quality breastplate could stop a warbow, but lower class troops and horses we're still vulnerable that's why medieval English and Burgundian armies that employed them in large numbers were so succesful), then it could stop ANY sword strike. Remember the only reliable way to stop a man in full plate was heavy weapons such as pole-axes, warhammers and maces because they had the force to either dent the plates meaning the fighting man couldn't move, or the concussive force would bruise, break blood vessels or knock out the opponent. You couldn't cut through plate, a sword was only use against the underarms and groin (and maybe face depending on the helmet and whether it had a visor and whether it was up or not) which we're only in maille and padding, even then a sword would struggle to penetrate without a LOT of force, normally meaning the combatant would have to be knocked down first.
      And technically Arthur's time is just post-roman, around 5th century AD, so the best armour they'd have available was maille, but as it is they've fantasized it, but they've picked elements from all over the medieval period, from late dark ages helmets on the guards to early renaissance suits on some of the knights.

It's impressive how many times this has been adapted to the screen, though obviously not always well. When I was a kid, I saw the 1989 TV movie adaption starring Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy from the Cosby Show) as well as the 1979 Disney movie "A Spaceman in King Arthur's Court." Oddly, that earlier Disney movie featured the same actor playing Merlin as "A Kid in King Arthur's Court."
