the problem with movie remakes is that they always remake something that was already good, meaning at worst you ruin it and at best your remake is largely redundant. to make a truly good remake you need to start with source material that is absolute dogwater. ignore the pull of nostalgia. redeem the sins of moviemaking past.

I love the idea that the Lady of the Lake is an ancient naiad who is several thousand years old and Merlin has lived the lifespan of an average human and they’ve been in a situationship for decades but now it looks completely reprehensible because he is visibly an 80 year old man and she looks 20 max. The same with her and Lancelot, it is like Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie in Alexander, that is her son but he looks older than her and has for years. Guinevere boiling with rage at Lancelot getting forehead kissing from some beautiful young maiden but that is his mommy.
