      He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways

        He was not the least bit scared to be smashed into a pulp. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

      My favorite part about this is how the narrator casually mentions that they ate some of Sir Robins minstrels on the way.

        And there was much rejoicing.

    I’ve seen actual medieval documents that are better quality than this image.

    “Sir Galahad… rare example of male virginity super powers”

    I don’t think it was rare. That’s why Newton was celibate, because he thought it was better for him that way.

    Also, Imma not believe properly until I see some sources.

      hell, the entire anti-fap movement like 5 years ago basically seemed to believe that virginity and never cumming would give guys super powers.

      Yeah there was also a general belief that it was usually women tempting men into “carnality.” Lots of “what was she wearing” energy.

    Sounds like we should never go to Camelot for 'tis a silly place.

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any links to where stories detailing these amazing feats are located?

      One thing that is important to note is that King Arthur was sorta used as a template for story telling in medieval England, Wales, and France. There are dozens of conflicting stories and accounts because some tales are from the 7th century, and some are from the 14th. King Arthur and The knights of the round table are essentially a folk hero tale for the nobility of the middle ages.

      Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur is the first compilation of Arthurian tales that were collected, but it was written in the 15th century and can be a real bear to read if you want something more casual.

        I always recommend they start with the Vulgate cycle, which has the benefit of making them realize how many of these fucking stories there are.

    I remember a cartoon about modern day high school kids that Merlin pulled back in time to be the Knights of the Round Table and they had anime mechsuits as their armor and shot lasers from their swords and shit like that.

    I want to see it again because it was pretty fucking dope. I don’t know if it was actual anime or not tho; I am fairly certain it was American or Canadian made.

      Looks like this one: en.wikipedia.org/…/King_Arthur_and_the_Knights_of…

      I’d totally forgotten about this show, but I remember watching it, as well. Curious to see how it holds up.

      • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        I remember it too, and also thinking “this is cool but also kinda bad” at the time which is not a great sign

    • EightBitBlood@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      “King Arthur and the Knights of Justice” is what you’re looking for - and more specifically the absolute facemelter of an opening song they had for the show:

      youtu.be/gjbWDjzTM0A

      The whole series is on YouTube for free BTW! Not a bad watch either. Still pretty fun, but certainly dated for the time.

      That opening guitar still gets me decades later.
