With centuries of retold and rewritten tale to choose from when deciding to adapt Arthurian legend for a modern audience, it's easy to see why the task might feel overwhelming. Perhaps the solution is to simply choose the BEST, most interesting elements of the story, and concentrate on those moments for your film. Or, I dunno, maybe the better idea is just to say "eh, don't worry, we'll eventually get to all of it cause we're clearly gonna make six of these babies." That was certainly the approach Warner Bros. took in 2017, when they hired Guy Ritchie - a director more known for tales of down-on-their-luck hoodlums than virtuous knights - to craft a brand new, epic Arthur film, and promised it would be the beginning of a new multi-movie cinematic universe. Spoiler: it wasn't.
