I have a very rough idea in my head that I don’t think I can clearly articulate beyond “And that concludes tonight’s reports on German air forc—WHAT’S THIS? IT’S KING ARTHUR WITH A STEEL CHAIR”
This isn’t exactly the same idea but it could be but there is more rattling around in here so:
The Blitz here manages to qualify as Britain’s Darkest Hour, thus triggering the return of Arthur from the Realm Avalon.
He does not speak a lick of modern English. He speaks an unholy mishmash of Brittonic and Late Classical Latin.
(Honestly I can see the latter becoming a plot point if they manage to get their hands on a Roman Catholic priest to act as a translator. It wouldn’t be a perfect arrangement, but probably better than anything else.)
Truthfully he probably gets mistaken for a madman.
Somehow manages to steal a Spitfire out from under the RAF’s nose, proceeds to use it to bring down like half an enemy squadron on his own, then lands in a field in the middle of nowhere.
Police and RAF converge on his location on account of the whole “stealing a plane” thing. They eventually overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but he manages to knock out an impressive number of them in the process. I mean, come on. It’s Arthur.

sometimes people are like “yeah this person was terrible at [art form] here look at the evidence to prove it” and link to something i find completely indistinguishable from highly-celebrated award-winning examples of the same kind of art
I assume this is about Rebecca Black’s FRIDAY which everyone said was horrible, unlike any other pop song of the time that was mass-produced and therefor “good”
various examples of people being described as terrible poets, most recently Samuel Derrick
