King Arthur of the Seven Seas!

Arthur & Excalibur
What's that? You mean that's not the title of the latest Aquaman movie starring Jason Momoa?!

Could have fooled me! I mean, let's look at the evidence:

  • The young prince growing up away from his throne, for his own safety - check
  • Grizzled mentor who tries to prepare him for the throne, but doesn't always tell him the whole truth - check
  • Prince Arthur - check
  • A quest - check
  • A Lady in the Lake - well, a Queen in the Sea at the centre of the world, close enough! - check
  • A magical sword in a stone - ok, it's an all-powerful trident in a fossilized skeleton's hands, but close enough - check
  • An impressive (future) queen who stands by her (future) king - check
  • "One true king" - check
  • Main enemy is a family member - younger brother vs nephew? We'll take it! - check
See what I mean?!

Lady in the Lake
