#I'm sorry but there are only two things Alan could do to make me dislike him and we've been shown proof of neither so far

Queenie here! omg, I'm so glad you've watched Galavant! Not many people know about it unfortunately. My favorite characters are actually the villains! King Richard, Gareth and Madalena are comically over the top but have their softer moments too, which is what I like in antagonists. I think season 2 is great, if only for the first song/episode being a middle finger to the executives who wanted to cancel the show lol. I can't choose which song I like best, they are all hilarious and catchy!

Yeah, when you asked for King Arthur retelling recommendations, I seriously considered throwing Galavant out there, actually!! Eventually I decided that even though there are clear similarities between the King Arthur myths and the Galavant series, I didn’t think there were really enough to justify a mention. Besides, the humor in Galavant is ((in my opinion)) very,,,,,,, niche, I guess? I really think the jokes just aren’t for everyone, and a lot of people dislike the overarching plotline itself either because they feel it’s problematic, or it just isn’t arresting enough for them personally. 

sdfghgfgbfdfgf yeah, the antagonists have so much more depth than I imagined they would!!!! It’s a musical period sitcom, my expectations were LITERALLY underground when I started the first episode lmao. But it’s HARD to find good historical shows where two ((and sometimes three or four or ten)) characters are just,,,,,,,,,, going at it,,,,,, for no reason at all like,,,,,,, down with unnecessary bedroom scenes honestly. I feel like it’s ESPECIALLY bad in period shows ((lookin at you, The Last Kingdom)) so when I heard Galavant was only PG, I honestly lost my shit and jumped on it lmao.

o o f no no I didn’t mean to make it sound like Sid was like,,,,,,, the ONLY character I love though!!!! to be honest, I love EVERYONE so much, it was hard for me to settle on a fave at first - I tend to go with Sid because, as discussed before, he’s played by Luke Youngblood who is gorgeous and amazing and his smile could kill me and i would say thank you, but both Galavant and King Richard are both BIG faves as well!!! I love how Galavant’s brash overconfidence balances his genuine compassion and huge heart, and King Richard’s quirky, off-beat nature adds an extra layer to a guy who’s just really trying to do the right thing, and find out he is in the process. And the writing of Gareth’s character is absolutely FLAWLESS tbh - I didn’t expect him to become such a major player in the beginning, and the way they slowly revealed his softer side, and never let it cancel out his brutality, was really just excellent. absolutely 10/10. and MADALENA!!! They give you so many reasons to feel bad for her, but they NEVER let any of it excuse her callous treatment of Galavant, Richard, Isabella, or any of the others and I LOVE that!!!!

Isabella is FANTASTIC, too, I like that they let her be tough, bossy, stubborn, quick-witted, cunning, and manipulative - a lot of traits that are seen as stereotypically “unladylike” - and never once compromised her kindness OR her femininity. ((I could write a fuckin,,,,,,, BOOK about Sid lmao so i won’t put you through that, but he never really knows what’s going on from one episode to the next and that is a mood and a half))

dfhjytghgfrtyujhgftyhg im,,,,,,, STILL not over the fact that the first episode of the second season was literally called “Suck it Cancellation Bear” like these guys were just,,,,,,,, living their best lives huh,,,,,, 

ahhhh that’s fair!!! lol the songs all have a kind of Disney feel to them, which I appreciate - pretty sure Alan Menken lends that touch!! 

fhjhtghgfghgf anyway this turned into???? a goddamn NOVEL i’m sorry i’ll let you go now
