The Purge | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_1c263b9f | comment |
The Purge: After Mordred's magical rampage in the prologue, Vortigern had all mages hunted down in a purge that was quickly halted again by his brother Uther. Once Uther was out of the way, he got right back to it and apparently was so successful that the Mage is now the Last of Her Kind. All of it was part of Vortigern's plan - he was in cahoots with Mordred from the beginning, and the mage purge was most likely an effort to stamp out any opposition to his own growing magical powers. | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Having defeated Vortigern, Arthur gets the Vikings to Kneel Before Zod after they realise he can't be intimidated into keeping their previous treaty. Uther charges into the fight even as his soldiers are turning to flee in fear and the bridge he is riding on collapses under his horse's feet. He ends up defeating Mordred one on one despite Mordred's magical abilities. | |

The mage in particular doesn't hesitate to put him in his place when he gets too mouthy for her tastes. By the time the credits roll, the new king and the last mage are best friends, and the surviving resistance leaders have been inducted into the famous Knights of the Round Table by Arthur himself. | |

Vortigern was an unrelated usurper king who served as the nemesis to Uther Pendragon and Uther's brother Aurelius Ambrosius. Here he becomes a Starter Villain for Arthur. Mordred is usually Arthur's bastard son who kills him in the final battle. Here's he's an unrelated Evil Sorcerer who fights Uther. | |

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_30d2ae29 | comment |
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Arthur had no intention of seeking out the Excalibur or seeking out his rightful throne. If Vortigern hadn't gone to such lengths to avoid the born king's prophesied return, Arthur would've never been anywhere near the sword. Additionally, Arthur repeatedly says he doesn't want to be king or involved in fighting Vortigern. However, Vortigern, not content to have a potential threat living as a commoner in the populace, is determined to completely eliminate Arthur, and begins by engaging in a systematic campaign to kill Arthur's adopted family, childhood friends, and new found allies. You know, the people whose deaths would make the previously uninterested rightful heir suddenly be willing to fight to the death. In their first encounter since Uther's murder: Later in the conversation: In their last encounter, in the final battle: | |

Out-Gambitted: Arthur realises the best way is not to raise a rebel army but to lure out King Vortigern by using himself as The Bait and assassinate him. Maggie brings word of the King traveling to Londinium to raise support from his Barons, so they decide to snipe him with a long bow shot fired by Goosefat. However the King knows Maggie is in league with the rebels and has himself replaced with an imposter. Ironically Arthur realises it's a trap and calls off the assassination, only for Goosefat to spring it anyway by shooting the blacklegs commander Mercia because he has a grudge against him. | |

Sword In The Stone: Having been warned by the Syrens that the Rightful King Returns, King Vortigern has his blacklegs bring everyone of the right age to be his missing nephew to where the sword is in the stone to attempt to pull it out, branding them after the test—Arthur is brought in when the blacklegs see he doesn't have the brand. In a subversion, Arthur is knocked out and easily captured after removing the sword because he can't handle the power and memories that overwhelm him whenever he grasps the hilt. Invoked later when Vortigern uses Excalibur to kill a snake as it leaps at him from a pillar, but the sword gets stuck in the stone pillar so he can't remove it to defend himself when a much bigger magic snake attacks. | |

Sure enough even though Arthur hands him over to the blacklegs in his initial scene, Goosefat is waiting in the resistance cave to express his annoyance after Arthur is taken there later on. | |

Shoot the Messenger: Narrowly averted. Mischief John, one of Vortigern's lieutenants, is stuck with giving Arthur and his group a message after Vortigern had taken the Mage and Blue prisoner. He is more concerned about his wife getting to him, because it was his turn to cook that particular evening. Arthur and the others let him go, but the glares they give Mischief John makes it clear they really want to kill him. | |

Vortigern takes his name, headquarters, and political power from his traditional depiction, but in the original legend he was only responsible for the death of one of Arthur's uncles and was long dead by the time Arthur became king. The film's version of Vortigern combines him with the other kings and usurpers Arthur had to defeat to solidify control of his kingdom. He also replaces Uther's brothers, Constans and the heroic Aurelius Ambrosius. | |

Death Glare | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_627264e0 | comment |
Death Glare: Mordred apparently believes this to be an actual weapon. All he does when Uther breaches his various magical fire obstacles is glare at him from below. It works about as well as one might expect it to work when a pissed-off One-Man Army with a mythical sword is out for the glaring person's head. It's likely Mordred can't do anything else as he's focused on controlling the two magical elephants, which go berserk the moment his control is broken. Also we're later shown that whoever wields Excalibur can move in Arrow Time, so he may not have had time to do anything else. Mischief John is on the receiving end when he brings news to the resistance that the King has hostages who will be killed. Although he's a Smug Snake knowing the hostages will be harmed if he's killed; even he's a bit wary of Arthur's glare, though that could just be because he's royalty even if he was raised in the gutter. | |

Black Vikings | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_64a5e4f | comment |
Black Vikings: The film doesn't even attempt to be historically accurate so there are a few non-European characters around. Granted, Londinium appears to be a trade city, which historically did have diverse populations, so this could in fact be one of the few things in the film that actually is historically accurate. Bedivere as played by Djimon Hounsou. Counts as a Race Lift, as "Bedwyr" appears in the oldest Celtic layers of the mythos. However, perhaps surprisingly, there is a black knight mentioned in a medieval Arthurian work (by a 13th century Dutch author who attached his work to those of Chrétien de Troyes): Sir Morien. So at least there is precedent, and possibly this was an inspiration. There was also pre-Islamic 'Saracen' (i.e. Kurdish) Knight Palamedes and his brothers/friends Safir and Segwarides. To be fair, around the time Arthurian lore first evolved beyond its Mabinogion roots, i.e. when the Romans officially evacuated Britannia during the Anglo-Saxon and Jeute/Geat invasions, leaving a large population of citizenry and auxiliary forces behind, there already was a large population of non-Europeans within the isles. Londinium, being the capital city, is one obvious example of a city with such demographics at the time, but the polity that would eventually evolve into York is an even more prevalent example, as it not only housed stranded auxiliaries (who in Britain were typically North African Moors, Indo-Persiac Dravidians, Bedouin and Canaanite Mesosemetics, Ural-Caucasians, and Sibero-Turkic Orianoasiatics, due to protocols the Romans had regarding auxiliaries serving near their homeland), like Londinium, but also a large merchant populace that included one of the oldest established Jewish communities in Britain. This also discounts the hundreds, if not thousands of slaves who used the chaos to either revolt, purchase their freedom, or escape to the Christian and Druid enclaves in Ireland. Ireland itself was becoming a focal point of migration for Christian priests as monasteries were destroyed by Romans, barbarians or other empires, and said monks were known to come from as far as Samarkand. Finally, to the north in Ulster, the Orkneys in Scotland would also have an occasional Greenlander-Inuit that would wash up on the shore (alive or dead) and be mistaken for a Selkie.

Fisher King: England is shown to be struggling under the weight of Vortigern's greed and ambition while Arthur is unknowingly in exile. The Lady of the Lake implies that it will get even worse if Arthur does not ascend to his rightful position of king. At the end of the movie, as Arthur is presented to the kingdom as the new king, the coloring is brighter than it has been at any point of the movie since King Uther was featured in the opening credits. It implies that the populace is much happier under Arthur's rule and that the future will be better. | |

Casting Gag: Freddie Fox — the brother of Emilia Fox, who played Morgause on Merlin, plays Ed. Also, Aiden Gillen looks right at home as a slippery Wild Card working to alter a kingdom's political landscape. Even as he aids the hero, his self-serving streak reveals itself and gets several people on both sides killed. Charlie Hunnam had played the antagonist to Jude Law in Cold Mountain. Here their roles are swapped. Katie McGrath playing an innocent good character, when her Star-Making Role was as the formerly good and heroic, but turned antagonist to King Arthur in another story. | |

Also doubles as a nice, convoluted example of Nice Job Fixing It, Villain because those Vikings are in England on his personal invitation, their actions lead to Arthur entering the picture, and that in turn ultimately results in Vortigern's downfall. | |

Despite the fact that the populace is already disgruntled and showing signs of wanting a new king, particularly the rightful born king, Vortigern does not immediately execute the one person who can topple him from power giving word time to spread to La Résistance. | |

Rule of Symbolism: Vortigern reprimands his daughter for petting a bird in one scene, telling her to put the bird back in its aviary. Later when he goes to her room there are several birds in cages. Overall it seems to be implying she's a prisoner in a Gilded Cage which is true because she's a potential Human Sacrifice if Vortigern needs the help of the Syrens again which he does for the final battle. The Mage makes an eagle carry a snake. Eagles carrying or fighting snakes has a mythical interpretation in several cultures. | |

Eldritch Location: The Darklands, a Mordor-like region crawling with lethal oversized predators that can only be reached via a magical teleport of sorts. Arthur gets sent there in an effort to gain control over Excalibur and learn more about his past. Results are ambiguous. | |

Traumatic Superpower Awakening | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_9d61fd2c | comment |
Traumatic Superpower Awakening: The middle section of the movie revolves around Arthur being unable to wield the sword. Every time he tries, it overwhelms him and he passes out. However, following the failed assassination of Vortigern, the Black Legs corner Arthur and his crew in Kung-Fu George's court. One of the Black Legs makes the mistakes of holding a knife to the Mage's neck. Mistreatment of the women in his life is a Berserk Button for Arthur and he has already witnessed the murder of both his biological mother and his surrogate mother. This is the push he needs to wield Excalibur and wipe out the forces threatening him. | |

One-Man Army | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_9e943076 | comment |
Mordred apparently believes this to be an actual weapon. All he does when Uther breaches his various magical fire obstacles is glare at him from below. It works about as well as one might expect it to work when a pissed-off One-Man Army with a mythical sword is out for the glaring person's head. It's likely Mordred can't do anything else as he's focused on controlling the two magical elephants, which go berserk the moment his control is broken. Also we're later shown that whoever wields Excalibur can move in Arrow Time, so he may not have had time to do anything else. | |

Graffiti of the Resistance | |

Graffiti of the Resistance: Backlack catches his son Blue drawing a symbol of a sword in a stone. This graffiti indicates the local populace is unhappy with King Vortigern, supports the Resistance, and believes in the Born King. Naturally, such graffiti is harshly punished and runs the risk of the death of the perpetrator and entire villages and towns being burned to the ground to discourage such sentiment from spreading. | |

MacGuffin: Excalibur, naturally. The whole plot gets kicked off for real when someone suddenly manages to pull it out of the stone, and the following events continue to revolve around it. To a smaller extent, the magical towers built by Mordred and later Vortigern serve in a fairly crucial role as well - taking them down before they can be put to use by some evil mage ranks very high on their enemies' priority lists. | |

Stupid Evil | |

Stupid Evil: Vortigern, Arthur said he has no interest in taking the throne from you and even suggested that he quietly leave the city. You don't have to make a grandiose spectacle out of executing him, you can just either listen to his advice and let him flee or just kill him in his cell without a fuss. Although Vortigern does make a point that Arthur is too ambitious to be out of his way for long. | |

Vortigern reprimands his daughter for petting a bird in one scene, telling her to put the bird back in its aviary. Later when he goes to her room there are several birds in cages. Overall it seems to be implying she's a prisoner in a Gilded Cage which is true because she's a potential Human Sacrifice if Vortigern needs the help of the Syrens again which he does for the final battle. | |

Aerith and Bob: Names like John, Bill, and George exist in an England with Bedivere, Vortigern, and Uther. Arthur's name is sort of in the middle, since it's familiar and more "ordinary" like the former names but only because it's the name of the iconic title character of the mythos where the latter names come from. | |

Putting on the Reich | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_bcba27a1 | comment |
Putting on the Reich: a lesser example than most—while Vortigern's troops don't wear Nazi-like uniforms, they do have a similar color scheme to the typical image of the Gestapo and, during his attempted execution of Arthur, they all chant his name and the assembled crowd is forced to follow along all while making a salute resembling that of the Nazis'—they may as well have been saying "Heil Vortigern!" In the same scene, Vortigern himself also makes such a salute, stretching his hand out to the entire crowd. He also has people branded, like concentration camp inmates were tattooed, and talks of how he doesn't want the love of his people, only their fear (a saying of Heinrich Himmler). | |

Improbable Aiming Skills: Goosefat Bill is a master archer capable of dropping targets with pinpoint accuracy over a distance of 175+ yards. For comparison: modern-day Olympic archers with their fancy high-tech bows compete at half that distance, tops, which is close to these bows' maximum effective range already. One of the fighters at George's school also leaps into the air with a bow and arrow and shoots multiple Black Leg archers on th wall, while in motion, before touchline the ground. | |

Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_bce16d24 | comment |
Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: If Vortigern had simply killed Arthur in his prison cell, he would have been able to claim Excalibur and rule with unchallenged authority. Instead, he has to make a huge public spectacle out of Arthur's execution, giving the resistance an opening to rescue him. Justified, since rumors of the true-born king's return are inspiring hope in the populace, and Vortigern wants to stamp them out thoroughly; if the common people don't see the heir's death, they won't believe it's happened. When he has Arthur in his captivity again near the end of the film, he does try to kill him immediately. | |

Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: Several examples, actually. Arthur's mother falls victim to a wicked-looking javelin hurled by One-Winged Angel!Vortigern that punches cleanly through her chest. It turns out that Excalibur's famous stone is none other than King Uther's petrified body. When Vortigern had him at his mercy, he hurled the sword skywards and let himself get impaled by it in a last-ditch attempt at keeping the weapon out of his brother's hands. In an application of Karmic Death, Vortigern himself meets his end on Excalibur's glowing blade, courtesy of the above-mentioned woman's son. | |

We ARE Struggling Together: When the resistance tell Arthur they need the support of some rebel barons and their armies, we have the by-now obligatory montage as Arthur explains why that won't work—the barons will argue over who is in charge, mock and patronize his lowly origins and lack of military experience, leading to Arthur insulting them back and getting into an argument with Bedivere (who finds that part Actually Pretty Funny). Instead Arthur convinces them that asymmetric warfare is a more effective strategy. | |

Taken for Granite | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_d08049db | comment |
Taken for Granite: It's revealed King Uther Pendragon is the stone in which Excalibur was stuck in. As he's cornered by Vortigern, Uther throws the sword into the air and when it falls it runs through him, turning him into a rock. The rock then smashes through the jetty they are standing on, into the lake where it's hidden until the water level falls. | |

Square-Cube Law | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_d4055b8b | comment |
Square-Cube Law: Played straight and thrown out of the window at the same time. Monsters like the Kaiju-sized war elephants should never be able to exist, let alone move in Earth's gravity, although that one's justified because they're explicitly magical creatures. The part the film's creators got right (kinda) is the way the elephants move. Those things look really, really slow and ponderous, but that impression is deceptive thanks to their sheer enormity. They don't even need to charge Camelot's fortifications - all they need to do is walk through them since no stone wall, no matter how thick, can hope to withstand the impact of such an insane mass and the force it applies. | |

Equivalent Exchange | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_d782bd52 | comment |
Equivalent Exchange: To gain the power to defeat the wielder of Excalibur, Vortigern has to sacrifice a loved one to the Syrens. Years later when the Sword In The Stone is revealed as a portent that the Rightful King Returns, Vortigern accuses them of not living up to the deal. The Syrens point out that they kept their bargain but as his own magical power grows, other forces will arise to oppose him because that's how magic works. Vortigern is told he can either find and kill Arthur, making himself the only surviving member of the bloodline that can wield Excalibur, or sacrifice another loved one. | |

Rightful King Returns | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_e061cb06 | comment |
Having been warned by the Syrens that the Rightful King Returns, King Vortigern has his blacklegs bring everyone of the right age to be his missing nephew to where the sword is in the stone to attempt to pull it out, branding them after the test—Arthur is brought in when the blacklegs see he doesn't have the brand. In a subversion, Arthur is knocked out and easily captured after removing the sword because he can't handle the power and memories that overwhelm him whenever he grasps the hilt. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: A bunch of Blacklegs lay down their arms and surrender after one of Arthur's Excalibur-powered rampages curbstomped about 90% of their buddies on the battlefield. Realising that the new king isn't going to be intimidated into continuing their treaty, Greybreard and his Vikings elect to Kneel Before Zod instead. So Arthur invites them to dinner. | |

Last of His Kind: The Mage is implied to be one of the few mages that survived Vortigern's purge, if not the last. Also, Arthur is the last member of the Pendragon line. Vortigern kills all of the others during the course of the film - his brother Uther, his sister-in-law Igraine, and even his own wife and daughter. Then Arthur kills him. | |

Composite Character | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Vortigern takes his name, headquarters, and political power from his traditional depiction, but in the original legend he was only responsible for the death of one of Arthur's uncles and was long dead by the time Arthur became king. The film's version of Vortigern combines him with the other kings and usurpers Arthur had to defeat to solidify control of his kingdom. He also replaces Uther's brothers, Constans and the heroic Aurelius Ambrosius. The Mage seems to be teetering on the edge of this and Decomposite Character. She has a similar backstory to Nimue as Merlin's acolyte who takes on her mentor's role as Arthur's magical ally, but due to the movie being about Arthur's rise to power, she becomes what would've usually been Merlin's role in such a story. She also displays hints of Morgana le Fay. The creators said she was originally going to be Guinevere, but with completely different characterization to what is in the final film. Sir Bedivere's role as a older knight and loyalist of Uther, is drawn from knights like Brastias and Ulfius who were King Uther's men and among Arthur's earliest supporter. | |

Excalibur in the Stone | |
| King Arthur: Legend of the Sword / int_e7d03dc5 | comment |
Excalibur in the Stone: Once again the Sword in the Stone is equated as Excalibur, though they are sometimes distinct in the source material. Similarly, the sword was forged by Merlin and given to Uther. After Arthur removes it from the stone, he flings it into the lake out of his Refusal of the Call mentality. The Lady of the Lake hands it back to him, echoing myth. | |
