The epic of gilgamesh r rated.
This is one of the few that I truly feel works better as a mini series. 8 episodes or so. No sequels no prequels no spin-offs.
Episode one is just endiku fricking that forest spirit or whatever for a week

Is that what we're calling prostitutes these days?

>something you wanted finally gets an adaptation
>the artstyle is shit
Ain't that a Monkey's Paw every time
But will it look that ugly?
the adventures of prince charming
a brave adventurer and hero, who falls in love with every princess he sees (reference to the fact that he was a womanizer in all the stories in which he appeared)
Like Zorro, but with a Robin Hood twist.
OP said a classic tale, not your crossover fanfiction OC.
Bro you are thinking of Sir Lanzelet, a variation of the King Arthur knight Sir Lancelot made before that one French prostitute commissioned her fanfic about him and Queen Guinevere.
God, I'm so sick of Lancelot.
You should stop reading or watching whatever it is that's got you sick of him, then. I hadn't thought about him in years.
That's nearly everything Arthurian though. Part of why I liked The Green Knight was that we stepped out of that
Most Arthurian stories really like to fellate how cool Lancelot is
Try the Once and Future King.
White's Lancelot really got me in the feels
>French prostitute commissioned her fanfic about him and Queen Guinevere
What
Not literally a prostitute, but basically.
>"Oh, here's some money. Write a story about Lancelot having sex with Guinevere and make her look like me."
Probably a knightly quest, that just goes all in with how insane a lot of them are.
>...And then Sir Anon came upon a talking hedgehog, who demanded the knight bring him four shuttlewieners.
>"Okay, I guess?"
Wait, you're telling me that Sonic and the Black Knight wasn't that much of a stretch?
If you think of some nonsense creature or person, and object, there's a chance that at some point a knight has been told by said character to gather a quantity of those items.
The Green Knight movie did a good job at that.
Too bad he was brown
I honestly don't factor Indians or Asians in to "race swap", in fact it almost doesn't count. No one would care if you had someone like Pat Morita playing Merlin.
>Seething Asian/brown samegay
I enjoyed a great movie, it's too bad for you that you are too autistic and triggered to do the same.
I liked it as well. If you watch it as the allegory it's meant to be it's a great ride with great aesthetics and cinematography.
>I enjoyed a shit movie but my standards are so low that I thought it was great
ftfy
Friendly reminder that Kimg Arthur was historically around 480AD long before witch burnings, long before plane armor, and long before actual castles, so at best Camelot would be a Roman fort and at worst a litteral thatched-roof wooden shack. He was also merely a king in Britian, not The King, as half of his knights were also kings or princes
You would figure that any King Arthur adaptation that wanted their diversity bullshit would pull out one of the two African with Vitiligo knights that are part of the classic stories. Or just whip out a Connecticut time traveler because frick it Mark Twain can be Arthurian canon too
He's just way too popular. The timeline for King Arthur knights is
>here's his coolest knight
>but no this new guy is actually his coolest knight
>whoops no this guy is actually the coolest
>lol jk this guy's son if the coolest
But with every prominent knight
Wanted to post a screenshot with that
>complains about castles and titles
>"But time-travel is okay."
Sliding scale of realism, of you want diversity then your getting castles, magic, and a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s court, but if you're trying to go low fantasy it would still mostly fit because these are the stories where Merlin is a Wizard that ages backwards, knights can talk to animals or become light fires with their hot-blooded fighting spirt, and they fight giant boars and werewolves(Pa gur)(Culhwch and Olwen)
Throwing in a time traveler would be the most down to earth thing in adapting any of those early welsh tales
>Merlin is a Wizard that ages backwards, knights can talk to animals or become light fires with their hot-blooded fighting spirt
I'd say it's apt for anime, but, well, 7 deadly sins, Escanor. It's been done. (probably 20 other animes too, but I think Gwain's power is rarely talked about,so Escanor)
>you want diversity
Palamedes.
Why is he Turkish instead of Greek?
I just quickly read the wikipedia article, but he went with the Greeks to attack Troy, not vice-versa.
Ain't he supposed to be from "Babylon"
My bad, different dude.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palamedes_(mythology)
>Palamedes /pæləˈmiːdiːz/ (also called Palomides /pæləˈmaJdiːz/, or some other variant such as the French Palamède; known as li Sarradins that is "the Saracen") is a Knight of the Round Table in the Arthurian legend. He is a Middle Eastern pagan who converts to Christianity later in his life, and his unrequited love for Iseult brings him into frequent conflict with Tristan. Palamedes' father King Esclabor and brothers Safir and Segwarides also join the Round Table. The romance Palamedes was named after him.
>Merlin is a Wizard that ages backwards
Only in White, I think. Not that White isn't entirely worthy of adaptation.
>Merlin is a Wizard that ages backwards
Only if we get an /ss/ scene with his former student now physically older than him getting the upper hand
The King Arthur mythos was written by what was effectively the sonic fandom of their era.
From the trailer, it looked like they went for some weird set and props designs, too. Probably big reasons I haven't watched it yet.
>Gawain manages to finally accept the situation he put himself in and dismisses the protection his mother gave him in order to meet out his strike from the Green Knight Fairly
>The Green Knight praises Gawain for finally displaying a knightly virtue.
>"Well done, my brave knight."
So...did TGK actually chop off his head or let him go?
I think that's meant to be beside the point, weirdly. In my mind the Green Knight let him go, and Gawain not only had a story to tell but also was no longer the NEET he was at the start. If the Green Knight actually does lop of Gawain's head, then it turns in to a negative morality tail (a warning against rash actions) and kind of nihilist, rather than a positive morality tale.
Besides, it was just a game.
I would do a retelling of King Arthur and his knights
It would probably take around 5 or 7 movies if done right especially if you want to do the rise and fall justice instead of just jumping form event to event in the life of Arthur.
It would look great animated since it mixed fantastical and historical elements so well and I don't think there has ever been any movie series or tv show that tried to tell the entire story form beginning to end.
I think it'd be better to just have an anthology series of various Arthurian tales.
Do we really need to see the King get cucked again?
yeah because Arthur stays innocent the entire time, even when it gets revealed the Guinevere and Lancelot are ones that really suffer.
>Arthur stays innocent the entire time
laughs in mordred
he did know he was fricking his older sister so he stayed innocent
number one, it's still a sin, and number two, he tried to cover it up and whether directly or indirectly was responsible for the deaths of all the other newborn children of the kingdom.
even if you want to b***h about the Mallory or the post-vulgate cycle there isn't really a version of Arthur that is innocent, even in the earliest versions he gets his ass on his shoulders and decides to pick a fight with rome because he felt slighted. if your main takeaway from Arthur is that he was innocent and the world wronged him you really missed the point
there are many diffrent version of King Arthur
in some version he is no better then his father and also a tyrant.
He is a very flexible character. That makes him so great.
I personally like the innocent kid that becomes king, does some mistakes as a teenager but learns form it and becomes a great king as an adult.
One of my favorite Arthur moments is form the 80s excailbur movie where Lancelot keeps defeating him. Arthur wants to teach him a lesson and draws excalibur and easily wins the fight thanks to its magic powers but immediately regrets it.
That is how you show real growth and character development in male characters without shitting on the males something that modern writers have sadly forgotten.
>there are many diffrent version of King Arthur
I am well aware anon, I mentioned several
My favorite interpritation is early young king that's innocent and good only to get broken and become cruel later, leaving his ending as more of a necessity
>lived long enough to become the villian
I think that is kinda generic.
You can do the thing with Arthurs dad Uthor.
That way Arthur always staying good is even more special.
The first movie being all about Merlin and Uthor would certainly work well but I guess a lot of people would be upset that that first movie in a King Arthur series doesn't even feature Arthur.
One a side note, I love this artist take on the Characters
>I think that is kinda generic
Name a single time that's happened in a king Arthur adaptation or in anything adjacent
>version of Arthur that is innocent, even in the earliest versions he gets his ass on his shoulders and decides to pick a fight with rome because he felt slighted. if your main takeaway from Arthur is that he was innocent and the world wronged him you really missed the point
I have never read the original tales but I thought that Arthur thought Rome because he wanted to end the cycle of violence were nobles never get punished for starting wars.
But I honestly don't mind Arthur being aggressive and rash while he is still a young king who doesn't each of Merlins advices, those mistakes make him grow into a good and wise king once he is older.
Him starting a massive war with Rome because he felt slighted only for him to face the horror of war and vowing to do everything in his power to prevent future wars makes for great character progression
>even in the earliest versions he gets his ass on his shoulders and decides to pick a fight with rome because he felt slighted
Which tale is that from? Rome pulled out of Britain at the beginning of the century Arthur was born in and the Eastern Roman empire died around his time fighting the Anglo Saxons. The culture of Britain at the time was Romano-British so its kinda sounds like later backtracking of an author who didn't like the Roman's to pit a well known figure against them.
not that anon but its in the Historia Regum Britannia which is the first big popular "account"
>Which tale is that from?
He's almost certainly referring to Geoffrey of Monmouth's version. Quibbling about "historical Arthur" is nonsense.
All we know about historical Arthur is that he was a warlord in post-roman britain, and that he was very good at being a warlord to the point that other military commanders were compared to him
Incest is wincest so it doesn't count.
>Galahad: hey arthur...
>Arthur: Galahad, my brother, what's up?
>Galahad: all good, but...
>Arthur: yes?
>Galahad: a peasant woman came to my house this morning and told me that you promised her that I would marry her newborn daughter, you didn't promise her that, right?
>arthur: (laughs) oh yeah, i promised him that.
>galahad: what? why?!
>arthur: come on bro, that baby is my daughter, but I can't name her princess because I'm married to Gine, so I thought you could sacrifice yourself for the team.
>galahad: you are an idiot.
>arthur: come on, i'm just asking you to marry one of my daughters, it's not a big deal.
>galahad: wait, how many daughters did you have?
>arthur: how many knights does the round table have?
Fully animate siegfried by alex alice
I want this. And King Arthur to be an actual guy unlike that other retelling which escapes me (something Japanese).
The thing I like about Arthur so much is that we really see him grow into this symbol of ultimate goodness, i think that for me makes the final downfall all the better for me. Arthur never did anything wrong, it was the world that wronged him in the end.
I also really like all the moments when he has to step in as a wise king to and solve some conflicts, like a father having to deal with unruly children. My favorite one is form tristan and iseult when he has to reach a comprise with them and Iseults husband.
>Arthur never did anything wrong, it was the world that wronged him in the end
>For I, being simple, thought to work His will,
>And have but stricken with the sword in vain;
>And all whereon I lean'd in wife and friend
>Is traitor to my peace, and all my realm
>Reels back into the beast, and is no more.
>My God, thou hast forgotten me in my death
Haunting.
He could protect the realm from an entire army of invaders single-handedly, but couldn't protect the realm from his own friends and family.
ESL here, is there a best collection for the story of king arthur?
Le Morte D'Arthur is generally considered the definitive or at least most influential retelling and most adaptations and retellings of the last couple centuries use it as a touchstone.
Unfortunately, that's where you'll get Lancelot OC insert bullshit.
It's almost 600 years too late for you to still be crying about this. Lancelot is a permanent fixture of the legend whether you like it or not and unless you wanna get into actually tracing and studying the various strands of Arthuriana you just have to accept it. By the time Malory was writing countless other stories and characters had been grandfathered into the general conception of Arthuriana. Tristan and Isolde is no different.
I would suggest Culhwch and Olwen is only because it's underrated and fun
King Arthur defeating the giant holy roman emperor in battle would certainly look epic
Earthsea. A series in the Rankin / Bass style of the Hobbit or Last Unicorn would be best but I'd settle for Cartoon Saloon.
Not really a classic tale, but I'd basically just make a movie about Frog from CT has to go on a quest to break a curse put on him.
And because it's a knightly quest, he learns lots of lessons along the way.
Sir Orfeo is my favorite medieval tale. I have no idea who should animate it.
What qualifies as a classic?
Because if I have any wiggle room at all I'm getting my animated Inheritance series
Help me bros, we need to collectively pray Disney cancels their adaptation. I truly don't think I can handle the monstrosity they'll inevitably create with it
Those are not classics and you really need to try reading above a fifth grade level
No
I remember this. Written by a teenager and it shows, really shit looking dragon on the cover, right?
Yes. It was largely a Star Wars ripoff in a more traditionally medieval fantasy setting. To his credit, he basically dedicated the third book to trying to fix the many many criticisms people had of the first two....I'm not sure that was a good decision, because the story basically grinds to a half for an entire 800ish page book, but hey, I do think it's genuinely impressive to be willing to essentially admit to your mistakes so publically.
Is that Eragon? I played the PS2 game recently and was wondering how it ended. They just dropped the movies...
Do National Epics count?
I mean, 7 of those have already been suggested in the thread - so yeah.
I don't think the world needs another romance of the three kingdoms adaptation though, there's already like a half dozen every year.
The first 2 books of discworld animated in the style of a late 90s pc adventure game.
It would have to be an adaptation of Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnell.
It's basically a comedy at its heart, but it's still about knights, and you could basically insert anything while they're looking for the answer.
>Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnell
I love that there's an entire genre of story that is just "guy has to frick an ugly b***h."
Why is it that when the girl has to love "in spite of appearance" you get a sexy beast like, well, Beast.
But guys have to have some old crone?
You're a gay furry, is all.
I'm just saying that if you remove the breaking of the curse Belle would be happier with Beast than Gawain would be with Ragnell.
Because you're comparing one illustration to a Disney movie, the latter requires aesthetically appealing designs. The Beast is still an animal bridegroom.
Right still isn't so bad. Just looks like a doggy with tusks. Still would.
Unlike you most people would not frick a literal pig.
>Is that... An old woman... I have to frick?
>NOOOOOOOO
>HELP ME MERLIN
If you've ever read Ragnell, you would know that she is WAY more than just an old lady. In her ugly form, she's described as having tusks and being thicker than a barrel, as well as having a larger appetite than all of the other men in the castle combined. She was basically a boar creature.
And, on top of that, she's a witch, too. And everyone's just kind of cool with that because she's willing to help them. Actually a very cool character.
>She was basically a boar creature.
Okay, now we're getting somewhere!
I wouldn’t mind an animated adaptation of the Herakles graphic novel done in the same style.
Hmmm, seeing Beowulf adapted would be interesting, though I'd probably want to make either a duology or trilogy out of it.
Might try to do something with Baba Yaga. Mostly because chicken-leg houses are cool
The real question is which of the Knights would be turned in to women?
You're being silly anon.
Guenevere would be a knight. Arthur would be a loser constantly apologizing. Lancelot would be black. Mordred would be /misc/
Honestly, Lancelot being a woman and having the same unquenchable thirst for Arthur would be fun.
Would Lady Lancelot's rape arc be her raping Arthur to make Gallahad or her getting trapped in the land of futas?
Is Guinevere a dyke after Lady Lancelot
or are they just gal pals here and the other knights are misinterpreting it?
Maybe taking advantage of him one time, or bring in Morgaine for a little magic to bring Arthur around.
Would be really awful as well because that'd mean Arthur would have two heirs but is unable to acknowledge either.
Town Musicians of Bremen
>never getting more because the british government are homosexuals

Maybe I'm just basic, but I want a an animated miniseries(or single season series. About 9-ish hours total, at least) of the Odyssey, all the way through Odysseus and his son wrecking all of his wife's douchebag would-be suitors.
I'd say start with the Illiad, get the full picture
Nah. I'd Lucas that shit and go back to do the Iliad after the fact.
>illiad
>odyssey
>full picture
Nope.
The Aeneid is by Virgil and doesnt count.
But speaking of Virgil I'd like a good Divine Comedy adaptation, the closest I've ever seen was Overly Sarcastic Production's summaries
>good Divine Comedy adaptation,
We were so close, but they never finished it.
>The Aeneid is by Virgil and doesnt count.
No, I mean that The Iliad and The Odyssey are two parts of a massive cycle, with just those parts remaining.
Also I'd be down for someone to attempt The Faerie Queene.
>get the full picture
That would leave a massive gap.
Ilya Muromets.
Slavic folklore is drastically underrated and practically goes under the radar in Western media and adaptation.
Living in a small village is a man who has been crippled since birth. In his 30s, he is visited by 2 monks who heal him and tell him that with his newfound mobility he has been chosen to become a great hero. He then sets off trying to accomplish heroic tasks and attempts to find and slay a giant. He is unable to injure the giant he finds, but the giant turns out to be rather friendly and says he is looking for a place to die anyway. The 2 travel together until they come across a giant stone coffin in which the giant decides is a good place to a die and passes on all of his strength to Ilya. Ilya, now imbued with the power of a giant goes on to slay numerous monsters and bandits attacking travelers and in doing so, learns about the city of Kiev which is under siege from the mongols. The adaptation would end with him single handedly liberating the city from the mongols and given treasures to help him in his future travels.
Ideally, I'd like it to be an animated film with a visual style that looks similar to traditional Slavic prints.
I'd really just enjoy a good animated Zorro film or series
The anime was fun

Also anyone involved in the project from the camera crew to writers, even the set caterers and 3rd world CG studio they outsourced to, deserves to be rounded up, lined against a wall, and shot point blank in the brainstem with a revolver.

I actually really like the juxtaposition of the treatment of Black person Jim in both stories. I'd like to an adaptation of both books be with the same studio but Tom's art design is far more childish and the sequel Huck's art design is more realistic to try and rive home that it's the same continuity but from two different perspectives.
Huckleberry Finn had some straight up horror scenes in it. Itd be a massive tonal clash
