Also OG Arthur sounds hella like the WoL. Cutting witches in half with daggers and slaying giants with Rhongomiant. Killing 960 men singlehandedly...

It's what happens when you let the Celts have fun with mythological weapons. You can't just have a strong spear, no, it needs to explode into barbs and turn people into a pincushion (Gáe Bolg). A sword isn't a sword if it doesn't cut three hills in half (Caladbolg). And to them, King Arthur's removal of Excalibur from the stone would be laughable, as Nuada had to pose on top of a rock with his sword, have the rock scream (presumably from his weight), and have the sword whisper to it (Fragarach).

Also, on Rhongomiant... Still wondering what the hell Geoffrey smoked to rename it into "Ron".
"Ah yes, this is my sword Excalibur, my shield Priwen, my knife Carnwennan and my spear Ron."
