Because that's when soul still existed

>he hasnt watched the camelot musical from the 60s

When a story is so old and iconic it's kind of seeped into the cultural osmosis and doing a straight adaption is a bit boring.

Saint George and the Dragon for example. A hero knight goes and saves the princess and slays the dragon. It's a super old mythological story, probably derived from Greco-Roman myths and re-used by Christians.

Would a straight adaption be interesting? We've seen it time and time again. Guess what Super Mario is at its core? It's a retelling of Saint George.

You have to do something unique or interesting. King Arthur? There's a bit of that in Star Wars with the Jedi and light sabers and such.

Because the world is so brown now that nobody even has a frame of reference for Arthurian legends or knows what they are
