Medievaler Times (Better Late than Never)

My idea is to create an upgraded version of Medieval Times. As a kid, we went there on a field trip, and it was my favorite field trip. Despite this, there were many improvements that could be made. Instead of just random knight battles, there could be a King Arthur story line that includes plenty of action but also some romance scenes and some scenes in Camelot. This will lead to a more interesting story while also telling young kids the story of King Arthur. Other things will also be improved, like the quality of food at the restaurant. I can still taste the stale bread I was given when I went there in fifth grade. I personally feel like kids having something they like eating is more important than giving them something resembling medieval food.

Intensive therapy for the gang

So, hear me out, a huge problem that most of our class had when we were reading the original texts was the lack of character development. there was certainly love, and war, and action, and plot after plot after plot, but at the end of the day, I wasn't that invested because I didn't feel close to the characters. So, I think something that would be really different from the original texts, but still enhance them, would be some sort of intensive therapy session with each character. Basically, i would analyze them and diagnose (well, the internet would) them with different mental disorders if the evidence suggests that they may have any. of course, I would twist a couple of the original stories to fit the evaluations, but I think this would be a cool and fun way to see deeper into the hearts of the characters. I would basically be retelling their stories but through a totally new lense that would make their character's deeper and more complex to the reader. I think I would want to do it with the characters Guinevere, Arthur, Lancelot, Modred, Merlin, and maybe one other character (who should it be?). The only thing i'm not sure about is what platform it should be. I'm thinking of maybe a video blog series? Where each video is one session with the characters? or maybe their sessions are split into two videos so it can be more episodes? This is where I need more advice, so please help me and tell me what you think about this!



I, myself, would like to show the potential development of a King Arthur manga. I believe that Arthur lends itself famously to the medium since its a fairly simple story which can be expanded upon endlessly across several volumes. I essentially want to do Naruto, but with King Arthur.  In this interpretation, it would be much more action oriented, showing off a variety of different battles with a plethora of different characters. The story would follow Arthur, who in this story would be less of a reluctant hero and more like a person who aspires to be one of the greatest warriors, which would give him an end goal for the eventual end of the series (this is a common trope to keep readers engaged). The story would start out similarly to the STARZ show we watched in class in which Arthur is yanked by Merlin to becoming the next king. However, Arthur would be much more relatable, Luke Skywalker type character, who's kind of wimpy and whiny. Eventually, he'll come into his own as...less of that. I think this will be entertaining to a lot of people. I also believe that something like this would massively boost the popularity of King Arthur stories that have been lacking in the past few years.

Project X

Based off of the movie "Project X"

Arthur, and his two best friends Lancelot and Gawain decide to throw the most epic party of the year of their senior year in high school. Gawain thinks it is perfect timing since Arthur's parents are out of town. They gather all that they need and get there hands on some alcohol for the party. Lancelot goes and invites everyone and anyone without Arthur knowing. Soon enough, the party begins and before you know if, 305 Camelot Drive was filled with more than 200 people. Kay is assigned to be a security person at this party. Merlin is the neighbor who eventually crashes and tries to rat everyone out. And of course there is romance involved! Lancelot gets caught in Arthur's bedroom with Arthur's ex, Guinevere. This creates a lot of tension on top of a party that is out of hand. Eventually, the police show up super late and try to shut things down, but things get even more out of hand.

The Nature of Knights

So, for my final project I was thinking of a live-action film that follows the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, but it does so after King Arthur returns from the dead. It would be pitched to the Russo Brothers as they did an amazing job with directing and producing several Marvel movies.

It is the modern day and Camelot is now a city hiding in plain sight. Hiding in the sky using a combination of hyper-futuristic technology and ancient magics long forgotten, Camelot is an utopia of sorts. It now serves a purpose: to act as a safe haven to those who desperately need it. And Arthur and the Knights also have a new purpose: to be defenders of the peace and to act on the behalf of the downtrodden souls who need them most. So, when a conflict rises that has the potential to cause World War III, three teenagers go out on a limb to find Camelot and urge Arthur and the Knights of the round table to end the madness before it's irreversible.

Temptation Camelot

Just like the hit TV show Temptation Island, cameras will be entering Camelot as 3 couples are put to the test, King Arthur & Guinevere, Lord & Lady Bertilak, and Olwen & Culhwch will all put their relationships on the line and see if they are destined for one another or belong with other people. Upon arrival into Camelot the men and women will be split into two different houses. The women will be living with 8 single men, while the men will be living with 8 single women. Some key players this season are Lancelot, Elaine, Kay, Morgan, and Gawain. Every week there will be a chance to go on a date. Whoever gets the date card can ask anyone in the house to accompany them, however, couples can block their significant other from going out on a date with one person. Additionally, couples will be wearing a token to remind them of their relationship. At the end of each week individuals will be voted out of Camelot. To ensure that one makes it to the next week they need to form a relationship with a person who is in a couple.  Couples will not be able to talk to one another through the duration of the season. At the end of the season, the couples are reunited and make the decision if they want to be together or break it off. If a couple were to remain together and resist temptation, they will receive the grand prize of an all-expenses-paid trip to the Island of Avalon and a gorgeous mantle.
