I agree with you on Relena, which is why I'm exploring her character in my only GW Fic, Haunted... though she hasn't been introduced yet :P I need to find Mel & Christy's page again, I misplaced the bookmark.

As to the King Arthur movie, excuse me HOLLYWOOD, but the Arthurian mythos was perpetuated by the FRENCH. Now many historians believe there was a war band leader, most likely an indigenous celt, or someone of Celt descent, who helped fortify and unite a region of communities together... against a common foe, either, other such warbands and tribes, the Romans... there are tons of theories. There are a TON of men who MAY have been the basis for the Arthurian mythos... but no one candidate is more likely than the other.

It's like Robin Hood, scholars can prove that there were hundreds of Robin Hoods, what they cannot prove is the one so commonly 'told' of. And in reality, there is a measure of truth in almost all myths, even fairy tales... the question is was it a literal or figurative truth at the core.

I've read my share of Arthurian literature, and I still say my favorite, bar none, is White's The Once and Future King. I wish someone would treat that text with respect and make THAT into a film.
