#dev Patel

[beatrixyagri]

I love Dev Patel, I love the green knight, but I feel like this is where having a much younger actor or a younger looking actor would have shined. You know that the green knight is going to get up because you know the story and you likely know other fairy tropes and have been exposed to a lot of media with these supernatural entities going down in one hit. This is also why the scene with Arthur asking Gawain to tell him of himself and his deed is important. Gawain doesn't have experience, he doesn't have deeds to his name - in the green night specifically, not sure about the actual legends - so he doesn't have the prior knowledge of what things like the green knight are capable of, he doesn't the experience to temper his restraint, and he's just had his lack of achievements brought to light. He made a calculated decision, and he was bad at math.

Then we see the end of the film and he has the experience of his travels, the knowledge of his future or what he thinks might be his future, and he is alone and unwatched by greater men. There is no one to prove anything to but himself. So he makes his calculated rescission again.

Anyway my point was that this might have been more easily understood with a much younger actor, but then we wouldn't have Dev Patel.

I feel like how dumb Gawain ends up looking in screen adaptations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight depends entirely on how hard the costume designer goes on the titular Knight. Like, there's a definite point beyond which you've gotta be like, dude, look at him – of course he's gonna get back up.

There sat a lady fair to look upon, and so like was she in form of womanhood to Elrond that Frodo guessed that she was one of his close kindred.

ONE DAY LEFT TO VOTE!!!

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

SECOND ROUND: 11th Tilt

Gawain, The Green Knight (2021) VS. Prince John, Robin Hood (2010)

Propaganda

Gawain, The Green Knight (2021) Portrayed by: Dev Patel Defeated Opponents: - Sir Elyan [Adetomiwa Edun], Merlin (2008-2012) - Matrim “Mat” Cauthon [Donal Finn], The Wheel of Time (2021-)

“So, first off the movie is based on the anonymous poem from the 14th century so not only is the setting medieval, so is the story. The Green Knight is a vivid dreamscape of a film with all sorts of delightful weirdness to stretch 101 stanzas into a modern movie. And Dev Patel looks incredible whether he's flopping about the forest floor like a dying fish or enthroned in all the finery of the sun itself.”

Prince John, Robin Hood (2010) Portrayed by: Oscar Isaac Defeated Opponents: - Willow [Warwick Davis], Willow (2022) - Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk [Henry Cavill], The Tudors (2007-2010)

“I always love a hot villain, and how could he be otherwise when he's being played by a pre-breakout Oscar Isaac? He preens, he sneers, he's horny on main, what's not to like?”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Gawain:

“You look at Dev Patel's big, beautiful, brown eyes and tell me he's not perfect. To quote the director "He's incredibly appealing in every sense of the word and yes, he's incredibly sexy. I see no shame in wanting to capture that. I was like, 'I want to see Dev looking as beautiful as he is onscreen and I don't want to shy away from that.' He has such a nobility to him that hasn't been utilized in films because he's such an affable actor who's so quick to break into this boyish smile. It's what made everyone fall in love with him, but in addition to that, there's severity to him that's really captivating." A movie made to say this man is sexy and they did it.”

For Prince John:

I'm so glad that y'all are so into Monkey Man and the badass hijra priestess army, but friendly reminder that hijra are NOT trans women. Hijra are their own distinct gender; trans women are women. India has both :)
