Do I hate Lancelot? No. I'm mostly French. I enjoy quite a bit of the French stuff. I also like that he sticks it (hahahahaha) to Arthur.

Do I hate Malory? Hate is a strong word, but I think a lot of Malory is crap and ruinous.
That said, I'm generally of a mind that nearly everyone in the Arthurian canon is terrible in one way or another.

As I said in my #GreenKnight review: it's about entropy and destruction, a golden age deteriorating toward a dystopia.

There are glimmers of joy, but it's rough.
Love means treason; loyalty means war.

Unification means subjugation and cultural erasure.

Mordred isn't the problem. Uther begins the whole dynasty with unspeakable violence and deception. Magic is the scapegoat, but it's a weapon of war just the same.
