Twishite fancic, if I recall. The original was trash writing and not worth the pixels wasted on the Kindle edition (not to mention glorifying abuse). The fanfic is even WORSE.

A pre-movie copy I found.
Fiction's Law still stands: the Book is always better than the Movie.

The exception which proves the rule?

If there's an exception to the rule that "the Book is always better than the Movie," then the rule is disproven...

tonight's reading ... just gotten started.
"Voyage Across the Stars" by David Drake.
concept: take "The Odyssey" and wrap it in a military sci-fi setting.

Just got through the Tale of Sir Tristan books 1 and 2 of Le Morte D'Arthur. That was a long one! It felt like I was watching an adventure show with a lot of filler episodes. Don't get me wrong, his story was fun and fascinating but there were moments when it dragged and recycled the same story over and over. I understand that Malory probably took all the Tristan stories everywhere and strung them in one story but man it was just a slog at certain points. I took a long break from it and listened to podcasts instead. It ended differently than the story I read in college but it was still fun to flesh him out more. And a quick shout out to Palamedes. Poor guy is a great knight but his jealousy always gets in his way. Its pretty human to tell you the truth and there were many times he called Tristan his friend only for the jealousy to crop up and they fight or he calls him his sworn enemy.
There were two other stand out characters of the story. Sir Dinadan the sassy knight of the table round (Seriously this guy was the comic relief but without making him doofy. He had the quips and jokes to bring levity to everything while also being a great fighter and knight). And then there was Sir Lamorak de Gales who was a pretty badass character in his own right. I am trying to figure out the best way to explain his role in the story.
If Tristan was Aang (The hero)
Palamedes would be Zuko (rival/nemesis but they team up)
Lamarak de Galis would be Toph (Badass friend)
Dinadan would be Sokka (the smartass who can hold his own)
which would mean Iseult would probably be Katara with Kink Mark as Azula?
Maybe this is a bad example.
Well we're off to seek adventure with Lancelot and the Sangrail saga.
