Owain, or the Countess of the Fountain is Tyrell-coded as hell.

A sacred fountain that summons storms

A surreal forest kingdom ruled by a powerful widow

A lion companion born of compassion

Madness in the wild as redemption

It’s Pan + Lady of the Lake + emotional damage.
The forest heals, the court forgets.

Also: The Green Knight (A24) is a 5/5 film. Fight me about it.

How Culhwch Won Olwen is like if Perseus, Achilles, and Hercules merged into one guy — and then outsourced all their quests to King Arthur.

Culhwch does nothing. Arthur assembles the mythic Avengers.

Tasks include:

Fighting a giant boar with scissors in its ears

Rescuing a demigod from time itself

Borrowing a barber

Peak mythic sidequest energy.
