The Sable Knight is an interesting character. I don't think Hollywood ever made a character like him in King Arthur movies I know of. The Sable Knight will make a cool character.
Lancelot partly filled his role in Excalibur; a knight of great prowess who bested Arthur's knights and caused Arthur to question his methods. However, for as prominent as Pellinore has been in a lot of Arthurian canon, he really has been lacking in film.
As a kid I always loved listening and reading stories of The Sable Knight. Does anybody agree that when The Sable Knight enters battle he would loved to be listening to Iron Maiden and Christopher Lee Charlemagne: By The Sword of The Cross and The Omens of Death🤘Let Legend Mark Me As The King.
Well, he wouldn't know who Charlemange was as he existed about two hundred years before. But he would love hearing about how many Saxons Charlie bodied.
I couldn't help thinking about Monte Python and The Holy Grail while listening to this.. Seems the Black Knight Arthur encounters is a 'victorious' reimagining and retelling of this Sable Knight defeat..😏
The Sable Knight is defeated by Gareth in Le Morte d'Arthur, and his armour is stolen by Gareth in order to masquerade as the Black Knight (which works when Gareth later meets the Red Knight)
Different characters. Depending on the retelling, Pellinore is either just another king who is eventually killed by Lancelot and his brothers for having killed their father (King Lot) during a joust, or in specific retellings he is the Black Knight. However, in Le Morte d'Arthur the identity of the Black Knight is said to be Sir Perarde (so neither Lancelot nor Pellinore). However, in the vulgate or in the Lancelot-grail cycles Lancelot does use the identifier "The Black Knight".
When he talked about him and Arthur having that intense sword fight I just want an animation where its fucking that but its with duel of the fares in background
So, the Sable knights name is Pelinal? Any chance he has a shape shifting minotar demi-god as his best friend? Oh, yeah, any chance he also has a blind hatred for elves???
People gotta stop allowing RPGs, movies and playing video games to warp their perceptions of true magic heh True magic is like psychology and science, it takes time. Cause n' effect. Laws of equal exchange and all that jazz. You don't split an atom by snapping your fingers, and you don't sway an entire culture of people instantly by whispering a magic word. Merlin was a polymath of his time, who was a pioneer in political-social science, psychology, chemistry and psychedelics. So yes, a lot of his power came from the power of perception. He was a Machiavellian da Vinci, who understood he wouldn't be able to share the extraordinary knowledge he had to share, if he was just another nobody or a scholar. The "instant magic" would be someone of the past possessing a prototype device for say.. acoustic and harmonic manipulation. Or drug sedatives in the form of powder/aerosol spray. Which we now use as a non-lethal weapon. Is there a cheat code that allows people to hack into the very fabric of existence? Possibly, but humans haven't yet tapped into that. At least that's how I perceive it based on the evidence of human existence.
It's actually a quite well known fact that the great Merlin, some called the greatest sorcerer ever to walked the earth was a Slytherin and not because he runs away, is because he has often shown cunning, ambition, determination and he picks his fights wisely. All Potterheads or Merlin fans have known that since ever but I'm not sure if some of you haven't
I was enjoying this series until I realized how filled with wishy-washy storytelling it is, alongside mixed legends. Pellinore is not the Black Knight in Le Morte d'Arthur.
